The proi>erty' purchased is an ideal
manufacturing site. It has a front-age
along Washington street of 1%

The company has contracted for the
erection of a mill building 80 by 200
feet The foundations will be of con-crete,
the frame will be of structural
steel and the roof and sides of cur-rugated
iron. The mill will be equip-ped
with heating, melting and coating
furnaces and two rolling mills, one
a sixteen inch and the othen a ten
inch mill.
The product of the company will
be, at the beginning, three-eighth
inch wire with a coating of copper
welded onto the steel. The wire will
be sent to oilier mills to be drawn
to the various gauges and all the op-erations
will be under the direct su-pervision
of the Duplex Metallic
Company. ,
The Process
To gain the secret of welding cop-per
to steel and iron has been a
dream of metallurgists for centuries.
The process was known by the an-cients
as In the excavations made in
the ruins of the ancient Roman city
of Pompeii various pieces of copper
welded to iron have been found. The
process remained a secret for cen-turies.
In the hopes that some idea
of the process might be found the re-cords
of the patent offices of the
world have been searched but the
welding of two unlike metals still
baffled scientists and mechanics. The
Duplex Company have a basic patent
covering their process but the patent
does not divulge the secret as the
actua". voiding is done by . secret
process.
There have been many attempts to
coat steel sheets and wire by apply-ing
the copper under pressure, as by
heavy rolls, but the process is un-satisfactory
as the copper will sepa-rate
and in case of wire will not stand
drawing.
The process of the Duplex Company
is to heat a steel billet to a high de-gree
and place the billet in a mold,
the mold- is then filled with molten
copper and a secret flux is used to
-complete the welding of the metals.
A billet thus treated is coated with
a layer of copper on all sides and the
billet can be drawn down to the fin-est
wire gauge and the thickness of
the coating of copper will remain the
same as on the original billet.
Special Billets
The steel used is made to the Du-plex
Company specifications. The
billets are then rolled, in the com-pany's
own mill, to a special shape,
this is done to give it the required
Bhape for the mold. The coated steel
Is then taken to the rolls and rolled
into rods of three-eighths of an Inch
In diameter.
Copper coated steel wire gives the
wire a greater tensile strength than
an nil copper wire and does not Im-pair
Its capacity for carrying electric
currents. Many miles of wire made
under the Duplex process is now in
use and by experiments in actual
commercial use the copper-steel wire
work of erecting the foundations will
be under way within a few days. The
contract for the mill building has
been awarded and the materials will
l.e on the ground during this month.
The two mills, 10 inch and 10 inch,
have already arrived and are now
being unloaded. These mills will be
erected as soon as (he foundations
are ready.
The company will operate all Its
machinery by electric motors. A con-
The Town Council of West ;'om-ho-hocken
have made it decidedly clear
that they intend to conduct the af-fairs
of the borough themselves, and
evidently believe that they can get
along without any legal advice, what-ever,
from Michael F. l>onnelly, the
present borough solicitor.
At the regular meeting of the West
Side Council on Wednesday, a resolu-tion
was introduced demanding the
resignation of Mr. Donnelly, on the
grounds that his conduct Is unsatis-factory
and asks that he turn over all
property belonging to the borough in
his possession be turned over by sev-en
o'clock, this evening. The resolu-tion
fell as a bomb among the resi-dents
of the borough, although the
solicitor, himself, had been notified
at his home in Manayuik of the in-tended
action, and made it a point
to be present at the meeting.
The action taken by Council is the
culmination ol" the effort on the part
of Mr. Donnelly in attempting to
force the new body to conduct the
financial affairs of the borough in
accordance to the law as he inter-prets
it, his action In calling a mass
meeting of the citizens (In the capa-city
of a taxpayer and not as the
solicitor) and later by asking a special
committee of citizens to meet the Ap-

The aye and nay vote was taken
and resulted as follows:
Ayes— Messrs Dellaven, Adams,
Whitton, Ramey and Cassey.
Nay—Messrs Entwistle, McElhattan
and Powers.
As soon as the motion adopting the
resolution was put to a question, Mr.
Entwistle rose to his feet and object-ed
to the word "unanimously" being
used. Mr. McElhattan also objected
to the word being used.
The Councilmen were Imbued with
the idea of carrying on their affairs
entirely without any outside influence
or suggestions from the taxpayers
present and conducted the meeting
to suit their desire. After the solicit-or
question had been settled Alva
Mackenzie asked if it was in order for
him to speak, but he was immediately
Informed that it was not. President
Cassey then asked if there was any
Other business to be transacted and
Mr. Dellaven then moved that Coun-cil
adjourn until Friday evening. Mr.
Entwistle again took the floor and
asked if there was a printed form of
the routine of business. The presi-dent
said that he believed the clerk
had one in his possession. Mr. Ent-wistle
was evidently waiting for
President Cassey to ask for remarks
for the good of iDouncil. President
Cassey refused to extend to Mr. Mac-kenzie
the courtesy of calling upon
him for whatever question he desired
to ask or any suggestion that he may
have desired to offer, and Mr. De-
Haven's motion for adjournment was
carried.
In an interview with a reporter for
the Recorder after the meeting, Mr.
Donnelly stated that he would not
tender his resignation and that he
would probably notify Council to that
effect.
A prominent Councilman said yes-terday
afternoon that the action tak-en
by Council was wholly within the
bounds of the law and that Mr. Don-nelly
will be forced to vacate the of-fice
and that his successor would be
elected at the adjourned meeting to
be held this evening. When asked
as to who the probable successor to
Mr. Donnelly would likely be the
Councilman said that he had no idea
as to who it would be. ,

there was very little new work done

responded to H still alarm from
the residence of Mrs. Mary O'Brien,
Eighth avenue and Fayette street. A
servant had drawn hot water from
the heating boiler In the cellar and
then ran cold water into the boiler
causing the boiler to crack and a
slight eplosion which threw hot conls
about the cellar. The covering on the
steam pipes caught fire and for a time
tho tloois of the rooms above were
threatened. The firemen extinguished
the blaze with hand extinguishers.

The idea of having the Conshohock-en
and West Conshohocken School
Districts join together in equipping
and operating a joint continuation
school has not been abandoned by
the School Board of this district as,
at the regular meeting Wednesday
evening, the local board instructed
Secretary Campbell to officially Invite
the West Conshohocken School Board
to a conference to be held in the local
high school this evening at 7.110
o'clock. The action was taken after
a discussion had occurred on the
continuation school question.
Superintendent Weaver reported,
the school would be ready for pupils
next Monday morning and that he
hoped to have opened it March 1,
but was disappointed in securing a
teacher, he suggested that it would
be well to advance one of the present
to the continuation school and engage
a new teacher for the grades. Mr.
Weaver stated there are 70 minors to
be enrolled in the new school.
Mr. Cavanagh asked what efforts
have been made to get the West Con-shohocken
Board to join in a consoli-dated
school. President Cleaver replied
that sometime ago the superintendent
had a conference with Mr. Steltz, the
West Conshohocken principal, and
that a committee of the board was
ready and waited to attend a meeting
of the West Conshohocken Board but
received no word to attend- He also
staled that he believed the West
-Conshohocken Board did not desire
a conference on the subject as the
members of the Board knew the
local Board was ready and willing to
join in a consolidated school.
Mr. Cavanagh stated that he talked
with President Fearnside of the West
•Conshohocken Board and the latter
said he had never received a request
from the local Board for a conference
of the two Boards. Mr. Cleaver said
there had been no correspondence or
any official action taken.
Mr. Cavanagh made a motion that
the President, Teachers and Text
Books Committee and the Superin-tendent
confer with the West Con-shohocken
School Board on the mat-ter
of establishing a joint continua-tion
school. He said the object of
his motion is to lessen the cost of the
operation of the school to both dis-tricts
as one school can be better and
mor e cheaply operated than can two.
The motion was not seconded.
Mr. Morrison made a motion that
the Secretary be instructed to invite
the School Board and Superintendent
of the West Conshohocken district,
to meet the local Board for a confer-ence
on the continuation school ques-tion,
at the High School, Friday ,this
evening, at 7.30 P. M. The motion
carried without a dissenting vote.
Caps and Gowns.
Mr. Cavanagh asked if the commit-tee
had anything to report on supply-ing
caps and gowns for graduates.
He said he was opposed to the innova-tion
as caps and gowns had no place
in a school commencement. He also
asked said that the object of the
Board in deciding for caps and gowns
in order to do away with tho girl
graduates wearing expensive dresses
would be defeated as the girls will
have their dresses anyhow, as the
girls are sure of two fine dresses
during their lifetime—at commence-ment
and marriage. He said the cap
and gown had no place in a school
commencement.
Mr. Campbell replied that students
and parents had commended the idea
and were pleased when the announce-ment
was made the Board had decid-ed
on the use of caps and gowns.
He also said it would stop the con-tests
In dresses among the girls.
Mr. Hastings made a motion which
carried that caps and gowns be pro-vided
for the graduates at the com-mencement.
Resignation
Tax .Collector John D. Hampton
who has served for several years as
school attendance officer tendered his
resignation as attendance officer.
The resignation was accepted. The
position requires the officer to in-vestigate
all cases of truancy and
non-attendance of the pupils and pays
at the rate of 20 cents per hour for
each hour the officer is engaged in
his duties. The Board did not fill
the vacancy.

on account of the 1916 duplicate

ment of $257.81 which settled the ac-count.
The Buildings and Grounds Commit-tee
reported the rooms in the Third
avenue building had been remodeled
and made ready for the opening of
the continuation school. The com-mittee
also recommended that the
Alumni Association be given the use
of the auditorium to hold a concert
one evening in April. The' recom-mendation
was adopted.
Orders were granted for the pay-ment
