Council in Uproar Over Vacation for 19 Employes; Harmony for Town Betterment Is Halted Abruptly • the proverbial cow that gave m bucket of cream, then kick-ed a over, spilling the contents. Conshohocken borough council de-mtea three hour* last night to reaching conclusions that definite!* were for town betterment, then abruptly concluded the session in a bitter wrangle whether a new vacation schedule ihould become ef-fective this year or next. In a moment the earlier indication of strength and unit:, eaten-tial in accomplishing major objectives vanished under the heavj blows of the president's gavel and the angry exchange of accuse - tions that brought several councilmen to their feet pointing vigorous-ly in the direction of opponents. When the tumult ended. IB employees of the borough had lust • a fight lead by Councilman Harry Rowland of the Second Ward to provide vacations up to three weeks for 15 years1 service. The pro-posed vacntion ordinance, if enacted, will not become effective until 1953 Phiiip Gravities*, ^airmen of the street committee, spoke ui favor of postponing the granting of additional vacation time to em-ployees because "we have so much work to be done, we haven't enough Bsasi sagf gsj egg u^ratiiig Ul the led." Retorted Rowland, 'Anybody voting for delaying the vacations which ware meant for IMS la stealing a week's wages from the em-ployees of the borough We should abide by our original decision and grant the vacations promised In a motion that I Introduced myself three months ago." The remark brought several counrilmen haatily to their feet in righteous indignation Ray L. Hero, president of council, rapped fur order, but a num-ber of soloes continued blasting away at each other. Plero, his face turning: red aa his wrath ■oared, called for order. Arising he pounded the table louder with the gavel "If order is not restored immediately I ahail declare this meet-ing closed he shouted He hit the table hard, so hard, the thud startled councilman and spectators. The wrangling ceai-ed It was 11 10. A vote opening the wav fgf t'i» ft-at reading o! the ordinance had been introduced by Rowland at II. There was a casual ob-servation that the reading might be postfxmed until later Harold K Best was prepared to submit a rough dralt Rowlands next motion was that the council approve the first reading of the rough draft The delaying tactic gained headway and Rowland, sensing that a postponement was in the offing, inquired why the benefits of the proposed vacation schedule should be taken a* ay this year. "We are short-handed and working in the red," replied Oravinese. Besides, vacations are over for everybody now." John O'Connor vigorously criticised supervision of some of the men and objected to thetr being set.t home due to rain. "Give the men 40 hours.' he said AnoUier ilmaii— the limU ui u" saaagggj —developed between Leonard A. Talone, solicitor, and Rowland Talone said an ordinance could be amended during the first and second readings, that a minute of the meeting could not supersede an ordinance. He volunteered the opinion because Rowland insist-ed that the motion he Introduced three months ago called for vaca-tion benefit* this year. Joseph Quinn. borough secretary, combed the minutes, could Tind no reference to a time element. Rowland exclaimed that the reason the vacation matter waa brought up three months ago was to enable the employee* to obtain benefits thia year Arising, ha said piero was trying to get around the motion, an accusation im- -Bswuiately denied aaalango backed him up Rowland declared that voting few the mo-taoUnski backed him up. Rowland declared that voting lor the mo-tion would be robbing employees of a week's wages. Fieip shouted, "You are out of order " Tha motion carried.

Harmony for Town Betterment Is Halted Abruptly
• the proverbial cow that gave m bucket of cream, then kick-ed
a over, spilling the contents. Conshohocken borough council de-mtea
three hour* last night to reaching conclusions that definite!*
were for town betterment, then abruptly concluded the session in a
bitter wrangle whether a new vacation schedule ihould become ef-fective
this year or next.
In a moment the earlier indication of strength and unit:, eaten-tial
in accomplishing major objectives vanished under the heavj
blows of the president's gavel and the angry exchange of accuse -
tions that brought several councilmen to their feet pointing vigorous-ly
in the direction of opponents.
When the tumult ended. IB employees of the borough had lust
• a fight lead by Councilman Harry Rowland of the Second Ward to
provide vacations up to three weeks for 15 years1 service. The pro-posed
vacntion ordinance, if enacted, will not become effective
until 1953
Phiiip Gravities*, ^airmen of the street committee, spoke ui
favor of postponing the granting of additional vacation time to em-ployees
because "we have so much work to be done, we haven't
enough Bsasi sagf gsj egg u^ratiiig Ul the led."
Retorted Rowland, 'Anybody voting for delaying the vacations
which ware meant for IMS la stealing a week's wages from the em-ployees
of the borough We should abide by our original decision
and grant the vacations promised In a motion that I Introduced
myself three months ago."
The remark brought several counrilmen haatily to their feet in
righteous indignation
Ray L. Hero, president of council, rapped fur order, but a num-ber
of soloes continued blasting away at each other.
Plero, his face turning: red aa his wrath ■oared, called for order.
Arising he pounded the table louder with the gavel
"If order is not restored immediately I ahail declare this meet-ing
closed he shouted
He hit the table hard, so hard, the thud startled councilman
and spectators.
The wrangling ceai-ed It was 11 10.
A vote opening the wav fgf t'i» ft-at reading o! the ordinance
had been introduced by Rowland at II. There was a casual ob-servation
that the reading might be postfxmed until later Harold
K Best was prepared to submit a rough dralt Rowlands next
motion was that the council approve the first reading of the rough
draft The delaying tactic gained headway and Rowland, sensing
that a postponement was in the offing, inquired why the benefits
of the proposed vacation schedule should be taken a* ay this year.
"We are short-handed and working in the red," replied Oravinese.
Besides, vacations are over for everybody now."
John O'Connor vigorously criticised supervision of some of the
men and objected to thetr being set.t home due to rain. "Give
the men 40 hours.' he said
AnoUier ilmaii— the limU ui u" saaagggj —developed between
Leonard A. Talone, solicitor, and Rowland
Talone said an ordinance could be amended during the first and
second readings, that a minute of the meeting could not supersede
an ordinance. He volunteered the opinion because Rowland insist-ed
that the motion he Introduced three months ago called for vaca-tion
benefit* this year.
Joseph Quinn. borough secretary, combed the minutes, could
Tind no reference to a time element. Rowland exclaimed that the
reason the vacation matter waa brought up three months ago was
to enable the employee* to obtain benefits thia year Arising, ha
said piero was trying to get around the motion, an accusation im-
-Bswuiately denied
aaalango backed him up Rowland declared that voting few the mo-taoUnski
backed him up. Rowland declared that voting lor the mo-tion
would be robbing employees of a week's wages.
Fieip shouted, "You are out of order "
Tha motion carried. Frank Ca#ftlsU O'Connor and Ro*land
voted against It. Voting "in the affirmative were Best. Dolanaki

Doubt again was expressed as to ownership of the sewer system,
but It a as more or less generally agreed, finally, that the Consho-hooken
