Borough Council

A regular meeting of the Mayor and
Council was held Tuesday evening.
A committee from the Woman's Club
was present to arrange for cleaning up the
town next week. The committee agreed
to notify each householder to nave rub
bish and dry garbage where it can be
easily put in carts. The endeavor is to
get the Borough horses and carts to haul
it away to numerous places that need fill
ing, but the difficulty is to get men to do
the hauling. The Council has increased
the wage to 81. so a day, but men cannot
be hired.
The only recourse Gems to be to get
the wOmen to do the work, or to draft
the pool players and tango dancers.
An Italian who resides on the Smith
tract asked that the water main be extern
ded 30 many houses can be accommodate
ed. The Water Supply Co. agrees to ex-
tend the main if the streets are accepted
and fire plugs ordered. The Mayor and

was advised to see J. A. Higgins to make
private terms as property owners have
done Oh Beach Avenue.

Avenue if a stone road was put in, but
he wished to reserve the shore end to the

the children to school but to see that

These examples prove that the State
has rules compelling children to go to
school for the benefit of the children and
the protection under our form of govern
ment. Boys and girls grow to be men
and women and in after years want 10
hold Offices when they have not the ia
