ed and adjournment was taken before
nine o'clock. Mayor Baker and Coun-
cilmen Crane, Diamond, James, Rigor
and Seward were present, as were Clerk
Nickerson and Solicitor Zeller. Mr..
Rigor brought up the question of the
charge by the electric company for
lighting the borough hall. Answering
same Solicitor Zeller said that the COM
pany was compelled to make the
charge by law, which was uniform all
over the state. 1t was voted to become
a member of the State League of Mu-
inequalities and the annual dues of SIS
was ordered paid. The contemplated
charge of the gas company for turning
on and off of gas was brought up and
discussed. 1t was the opinion that
such a charge should not be allowed,
and the matter was referred to the
Mayor and light committee to see if
some concerted action could not be ia
ken before final action was taken by
the Utility Commission.
