By a Vote of 9 to 4 Councils
Authorizes New Light Con-tract.—
To Repair Sts.
COMMITTEE REPORTS.
Conshohocken will soon have its
present street lighting system of
electric arc lamps and the small in-candescent
lamips replaced by the
new incandescent light known as the
Novelux Type C lamps, which lamps
arc coming into general use as the
modern street illuminant. A number
of the new lamps have been placed
about the borough for the purpose of
test and permitting the people to ob-serve
them in service and compare
them with the old style lamps.
Town Council, on Wednesday eve-ning,
decided to enter into a new
contract with the Counties Cus &
Klectric 'Company to change from the
present system to the new system.
The light question was introduced
by the report of the Police, Fire and
Water Committee and was the princi-pal
subject for discussion during the
meeting.
At the October meeting a proposi-tion
was submitted by the Electric
company proposing to install the new
lights under a new ten-year contract.
Councils rejected the proposition as
Councils desired to reduce the cost
for street lighting. The company
then submitted a proposition, which,
it claims, will give the borough as
much illumination as it is now given
and at a saving of $718.50 per year.
The proposition is:
18—600 C. P. l-araps & $72.75
12—400 C. P. " fl $60.00
40—250 C. P. " '<! $45.00
54—100 C. P. " 'd $28.00
The total number of lamps is 124,
the same number as now in use (the
present number being 70 arcs and 54
incandescents of 24 C. P. each), and
the cost of the new lamps will be
$5344.50 er year as against the resent
cost of $6060.00.
Mr. Hamilton objected to the prop-osition
on the grounds that in sec-tions
where it wili be necessary to re-place
the present arcs with lamps of
400 or 250 candle power, the citizens
will object.
Mr. Crimean asked where the nego-tlons
for a change in contract origin-ated?
Mr. Date said the negotiations
came from the complaints made by
■Councils of the street lighting service
last winter. Many of the lamps were
out and the allowance for outage was
higher than it should be. The com-pany
tried many remedies but with-out
the success desired and later came
along with the proposition of the new
lighting system, which was submitted
to Councils. The clerk read the
amounts deducted for lights out for
each month this >ear, substantiating
the statement of Mr. Bate.
Mr. Crimean said he asked the ques-tion
as the first part of the agreement
read as If the borough had asked for a
change. He also objected to the
clause in the agreement where the
company ia held to change the lamps
when they fall to 80 per cent, of the
designated candle power. He said
this meant) that a big part of the time
the borough will receive less light
than contracted for, and the current
coming from Norristown, the system
will suffer more from storms.
Mr. (rarrett spoke for the proposition
and said, the proposition is whether
the borough wants the same amount
of lighting as it is now getting and at
a saving of $700 per year or not. He
replied to Mr. Hamilton's objection
to the substituting 400 C. P. lamps for
the present arcs and said that Mr.
Hamilton had been looking at a 400 C.
P. lamp and had believed it to be of
600 C. P. Mr. Hamilton said he had
not. He had been looking at the lamp
at Elm and Forrest street, which he
said, was of 600 C. P. Mr. Garrett in-formed
htm that the lamp was of 400
C. P.
Mr. Garrett replied to Mr Crlmean's
objection to the 80 per cent, candle
power clause in the agreement. He
said the engineer of the company stat-ed
all incandescent lamps gradually
lose power until they burn out com-pletely.
In street lighting It is the
general practice of the company to re-new
the lamps three times each year,
and the same practice would be car-ried
out in Conshohocken.
Chairman Bate of the Police, Fire
and Water Committee, offered the
following resolution from the commit-tee:
Resolved, that the corporate offi-cers
of the borough of Conshohocken,
be and they are hereby authorized to
enter into a street lighting contract^
under the borough seal, with the
Counties Gas and Electric Company
In the form submitted to this meeting,
provided said contract Is satisfactory
and approved by the Borough Solici-tor.
Mr. Crimean said the making of new
contracts before the expiration of the
old ones is the same as giving the
company a perpetual contract and of-fered
the following amendment to the
resolution: That the time of the con-tract
be six and one-half years.
A vote was taken on the amendment
which resulted as follows:
Aye—Messrs. Crimean, Hamilton,
Kelly, Meyers, Renninger—5; Nay-
Messrs. Bate, Garrett, Kane, Nobllt,
O'Brien, Stemple, Kreas, Williams—8.
The amendment was lost and a rote
was,taken on the resolution and was
as follows:
Aye—Messrs. Bate, Carrett, Kane,
Meyers, Nobllt, O'ltrlen, Ktomp;e,
Freas, Williams—:'; Nay—Messrs.
Crimean, Hamilton, Kelly, Rennin-gi

The amendment was carried and
tin- contract wi.l be submitted to Bor-ough
Solicitor Anderson for his ap-proval
and any changes In may sug-gest
win bo submitted to Councils tor
action before the contract is entered
into.
Negligent in Street Repairs.
C. A. Dealmone, 106 Fnyett:> street,
petitioned for relief from a bad spot
in Fayette street which is a source
of danger and is a great annoyance.
He cited that the street has been torn
up for the purpose of running pipes
into his and the adjoining new build-ings
and that the plumber had de-posited
$25 with the Burgess as a
guarantee that the street would be
replaced ami made as In good con-dition
as before the excavation was
made. The hole was f.llej but a de-pression
exists and the asphalt has
not been properly replaced. He a.so
said that he had asked relief from
• al borough officials but that he
had been referred from one to an-other
with the result that nothing
was obtained.
Chairman Noblit of the Street Com-mittee
stated, the Burgess is in pos-session
of the $25 deposit and that he
(Noblit) had signed an order and
gave it to the Burgess, authorizing
(leorge Weaver, of Norristown, to re-pair
the street but nothing had been
done. The condition has existed
since last March. On motion of Mr.
Bate, the Street Committee was in-structed
to attend to the matter and
have the repairs made.
Mr. Stemple complained that the
brick payment on West Elm street
had been torn up for a .-pipe trench
and had been improperly relaid.
Chairman Nobllt said the work had
been inspected and not accepted and
as the $25 deposit is still held, the
work would be made satisfactory.
Mr. Steraple also complained of the
Ignoring of the motion of Councils
ordering the asphalt repaired on Fa-yette
street. He also spoke of the
bad condition at the end of the pave-ment
In West Elm street, where the
curb Is high.
Mr. Crimean asked when West
Third avenue would be oiled. He
said the street will have to be rolled
again as the large, bottom stones are
working up and the street Is covered
with lose stones.
Mr. Noblit replied for the Street
Committee saying that Contractor
Weaver had been ordered to repair
Fayette street and the committee has
been waiting for him. He said the
curb condition in Elm street had been
noted and repairs will be soon made.
As to Third avenue, he said instruc-tions
had been given three times to
the oil company but the work has not
been done. Mr. Noblit also stated
that It had been left in the hands of
the Burgees to have Fayette street
repaired.
Mr. Stemple quickly replied that
the Street Committee should attend
to such matters and not leave them
to the Burgess, "as we all known, he
will not do anything."

P0TTEIGER OUT OF GAME
Miss Mary E. Law Married
Miss Mary E. Uw, formerly of his
borough, and one of its High School
girls, was married on Thursday after-noon
to Mr. George G. McMaster, a
prominent young business man of
Manayunk The wedding took place
at the parsonage of the First Baptist
Church and was (performed by Rev.
Abner James Davies. On account of
the serious illness of the mother of
the groom, the wedding was a quiet
one. The young couple will make
their fuure home at 4452 Dexter
St., Manayunk. Miss Law had in he
past, and still retains, many devoted
friends in this borough. Their united
good wishes and congratulations are
tendered her.
The stage is set for the great game
to be played in this borough tomor-row
afternoon. The warring gladiat-ors
of the Conshohocken and Holmes-burg
teams are primed and in excell-ent
condition for the titantlc struggle
to determine the title for the loot ball
supremacy in Eastern Pennsylvania,
and are waiting for the referee's
whistle to sound the beginning of
hostilities.
Conshohocken haa entertained large
crowds in the past but the borough
has never been visited by such an
assemblage as will be present to wit-ness
this mighty struggle to-morrow.
In fact, present indications denote
that the largest crowd ever to wit-ness
an athletic event in the Schuyl-kill
Valley will be on hand when the
game begins. It is estimated that
more than 5000 persons will be in
attendance.
For several seasons foot ball en-thusiasts
from this vicinity have been
waiting an opportunity of seeing this
great combination of players repre-senting
the suburban town in uetion
but up to the present time a game
between them and the representative
team of this borough could not be
arranged. Negotiations were opened
early in the season by Manager Craw-ford
for a game to be played between
Holmesburg and Conshohocken and a
meeting was arranged and held at
the Central Y. M. C. A., Philadelphia.
The meeting was an unsatisfactory
or|e and 11 looked as though the game
Would not be played this season, but
two weeks after the Philadelphia
mpeting Manager Crawford, Assistant
Manager Bishop, Secretary Hyde and
Captain John Shade, went to Holmes-burg
and after an interview of sever-al;
hours the managers agreed to play
and the game was arranged to be
played In this borough to-morrow af-ternoon.
The two teams are looked upon as
the two best teams in the State.
Both have former college stars in
their regular line up and the game
is, being looked upon as the greatest
game of the season outside the col-leges
to be played in the Eastern
part of the State this season. Neith-er
team has ever been defeated al-though
both have played only the
strongest and best teams that could
bo scheduled. This fact serves to
add considerable interest to the great
battle.
Conshohocken is royally supported
by hundreds of friends gained through
the large number of victories which
they have won by their superior and
gentlemanly playing. Holmesburg al-so
has a large following of faithful
rooters who are deeply interested in
the outcome of the game.
The game is the one topic of con-versation
in this borough and as the
time for the contest draws nearer, the
Interest in it becomes greater. At
the present time it looks as though
business will be at a standstill dur-ing
the time the game is being play-ed.
Although the afternoon will not
be declared a half-holiday, the town
will assume a holiday appearance.
Thousands of outside people will
come to this borough by mean3 of
every conceivable conveyance and
before the game starts there will be
the hustle and bustle on Fayette
street which characterizes that of a
huge city. It will last, however, but
a brief period for a general rush will
be made for the foot ball grounds In
order to get vantage points from
which to see the play.
The contest it not o nly attract-ing
attention in this borough but the
lovers of foot ball from towns within
a radius of many miles have set aside
the date and will be 'present when
the game starts. From Norristown,
I'hin niw i.le, Pottstown and points
as l'iii North as Reading people are
interested in the contest and the
trains from up the valley will empty
their quota at Conshohocken
In Holmesburg, the home of aspir-ing
champions, the Interest is just as
keen as It is here. The fortunes of
the team are followed by hundreds of
faithful followers, who are anxious
to see their favorites win the title
and they will be on hand to cheer
their men to victory. In Tacony and
Frankford. where both the contending
tennis are known, the interest is little
lesd than In Holmesburg and this bo-rough.
The members of the Frank-ford
foot ball team are so enthusiastic
about the game that they have can-celled
their own contest with the
team from the Atlantic Reserve Flee!
and with their followers will come
here for the great game. Their sym-pathies
are with Conshohocken and
they intend to root hard for them to
win. From the league Island Navy
Yard, Philadelphia, there will be a
large number of the sailors come to
this borough. In fact, word has
reached here that as many of the
men who could get the privilege will
come to this borough and they intend
to bring their band. The sailors
have played both contending teams
and are coming to root for Consho-hocken.
Illolmesburg Is loyal to their team.
The followers of the game in the su-burb
are to hold a mass meeting to-night
in honor of their team with the
hope that It will be an Inspiration to
them during the great struggle for
supremacy. The team will come to
this borough in a special train over
the Pennsylvania Railroad. The foot
ball special will leave Holmesburg
Junction at 1.26 o'clock and will stop
at Tacony, Frankford and North
Philadelphia. The visiting gladiators
will be accompanied by a band of
music which will lead their rooters
from the station to the foot ball
grounds.
Coach Eavls has spent a busy week
In priming his players for the con-test.
He has had the n)en out for
practice every evening this week and
has been drilling them in a new
series of plays which will be used
for the first time in the game with
the locals. In their line up will be
found Tucker and Vreeland, former
stars on the University of Pennsyl-vania
Varsity team and two of the
best players obtainable. In addition
he has Thomas, Norton and Knorr.
The last named Is the quarterback
and he is heralded as one of the
fastest, brainest and hardest players
in the game. He is given the credit
of being one of the best players In
the country by all teams that have
played against Holmesburg and which
have also played in this borough.
Tucker Is one of the best punters |
that has ever played foot ball and It
is for his ability in this department
that he has been secured to plav In
to-morrow's game.
There will be a lot of money wager-ed
on the game. Holmesburg's sup
porters are sure that their team will
win the contest and are willing to
place their last dollar on them. It
Is rumored that they have several
hundred which they want to place
and will bring it to this borough to
have It covered. Conshohocken has
always stood ready to back their
team and it Is almost certain that
whatever amount Holmesburg cares
to put up it will be readily taken. It
is said that the Sailors will bring a
pool with them and will place every
cent of it on Conshohocken. Frank-ford,
too has a bunch of money Which
I hey are willing to wager on the
locals.
Officials of the Holmesburg Club
came to this borough on Wednesday
and inspected the foot ball field.
They have asked that the goal posts
be padded and that a section of the
field be reserved for their rooters.
The request In reference to the goal
posts will be complied with and part
of the field will be reserved for the
Illolmesburg contingent although, it
is hardly likely that as much space
as was requested, can be reserved
owing to the vast crowd which will
be present.
The order which has been maintain-ed
at all of the games this season
has been a subject to receive com-mendable
consideration from all visit-ing
clubs and It Is the intention of
Manager Crawford to see that the
same is maintained at the game
to-morrow. As a precautionary step
a large number of special officers will
be sworn in and they will be instruct-ed
to keep everybody not connected
with either team back of the ropes.
While the contest is looked upon
as the greatest and most important
one ever played In the Schuylkill Val-ley,
nobody looks for a repetition of
the roughness which cropped out in
last Saturday's game. Both teams
will be In the game to win; both
teams are composed of players who
realize that the best work can be ac-complished
by clean playing. In com-menting
on the game Coach Pownall
says the people of 'Conshohocken will
see the best game that has ever been
played In this borough. He feels
confident that no unnecessary rough-ness
will crop out during the game.
There is much at stake for both
teams and while the playing may be
hard, and it is certain that it will be,
the teams are friendly and no undue
advantage will be taken by either
side.
Notwithstanding the fact that Con-shohocken
will enter the game with
out the services of heir star fullback
Pottelger, and with Pownall at Quar-terback,
suffering from a partial loss
Of. the sight of his left eye, the team
is confident of winning the game, in-stcid
of being depressed in spirit
over the injuries to their men the
locals are more determined than ever
to enter the contest with a sprit of
do or die. Coach Pownall has had
his team practicing during the even-ings
tiiis week and while he has not
been able to take an active part in it
himself he has been drilling Captain
Shade at the quarter-back position.
"Hilly" however has been saving him-self
and claims that , he will be in
shape to play the entire game. Pot-telger
is probably out of the game for
the balance of the season and it Is
probable that some one else will be
secured to take his place after the
game with I lolmesburg.
According to the agreement be-tween
the two teams, the officials for
the game have been appointed by the
Central Board, of Philadelphia, which
has assigned Dr. Ramsey, Maverford,
at referee and Dr. M. C. O'Brien,
physical director of the Central High
School, Philadelphia, at umplre.These
officials are recognized as two of the
fairest and best judges connected
with the Board. The field judge
and head linesman will be Hopkins,
of Conshohocken and Meyers, of
Holmesburg. They will alternate dur-ing
the halves.
The game will start precisely at 3
o'clock.
The town should show its apprecia-tion
of their magnificant foot ball
team and assist in giving the visitors
a royal reception by decorating their
places of business and homes along
Fayette street. Visiting foot ball en-

TO STEEL
Preparations are now Being
Made for the Erection of
Five Furnaces.
PRODUCTION INCREASED.
Work is now under way at the Ivy
Rock Steel plant of the Alan Wood
Iron and steel Company preparing for
extensive additions to the big plant.
A steam shovel is nt work grading
the land si the ea iti rn end of the
open hearth mill. The mill building
will be enlarged and three open
hearth furnaces will be erected.
Across the road, at the new plate
mill, preparations are being made tor
tne erection of two ad litional heating
furnaces.
The open hearth mill is now com-posed
of nine furnaces. These were
originally of lilt>• ton capacity per
turn, or one hundred ions in twenty-four
hours. The capacity of theso
furnaces iias been doubled by the use
of the hot metal process, which is.
Charging the furnaces with molten'
metal direct from the blast furnaces,
which are located across the river at
Swedeland. The change in the heal-ing
process has necessitated great
changes in the equipment for handling
the product of the furnaces. Larger
ladles have been provided and much
heavier handling machinery installed.
The use of hot metal saves several
hours in melting over the old method
of (barging the furnace with cold
iron.
The new plate mill has been very
busy for the past few months and the
demand foi heavy plates has been
such that a greater production is de-manded.
The addition of two fur-naces
will keep the rolls going con-tinuously
and greatly increase the
production of that mill.
The company has three blast fur-naces
across the river, at Swedeland.
Two Of the furnaces are in operation
and the third, which was blown out
early last winter, is being rebuilt, and
it is expected that this furnace will
be placed in operation in the near fu-ture
as there is a great demand for
pig Iron.
• Tii,- improvements at the steel
plant will give employment to many
men most of whom will be skilled
workmen.
