The Water Works Site Was Chosen as Being the Most Suitable. The regular meeting of council was held on Tuesday evening. Those present were President Frank Straw, Messrs. J. G. Ghaplin, Thomas Woods, R. R. Brown, F. G. Paulson, W. E. Patton and Glerk B. Scott McFarland. Minutes of the last regular, and of the special meeting were read and accepted. The question of advertising the sale of $40,000 worth of bonds, was discussed, and it was decided to defer this additional expense, for the present. A report from the street committee was to the effect that street matters were in good shape, except as, to the Boggs entrance, ^ at the head of Division street. Here there was continued •friction, and not a little "kicking."..; Police matters were reported as .rather quiet. The ,sidewalk committee was authorized to put down a cement sidewalk on the property of Mr.- Gharles Atwell. The fire committee reported progress in some minor details. There was nothing of general interest in the report of the light committee, except the replacing of the street lights on Bank street. ■ Mr. Paulson, who has given time and attention to the garbage furnace site question, stated that the committee, acting on authority of the recent ordinance, had taken steps to secure the desired site. The Gibbs place was examined, and as Mr. W. Gibbs objected decidedly, .'that site was abandoned, ■■ As to the Way property, Mr. 'Way declined to sell, and stated: that his property was too valuable. His attention was called to the, fact that Edgeworth would join ini the matter* but he still declined to; part with any of his land for a site] Subsequently it was found that the! Water Commission was unanimous ly in favor of the Water Works place. The distance through streets to the Gibbs and the Way places was another objection, as well as high water from the river. The committee decided in favor of the Water Works site and the furnace will be built there, and so conducted as to create no nuisance. This work can not be done until right of way is obtained for pipes and access. This site is at the pumping station and near the McMillen lumber yards. The water entering the reservoir from the center of the river, will be in no way affected by the proximity of this garbage site. Among miscellaneous .business a motion prevailed for the establishment of a grade on Gochran street, and a letter was read from Mr. Chambers Miller, agreeing to pay for the grading of Davis lane, which is an extension of Hill street. On motion an ordinance for the work passed second reading. After ordering the payment of certain bills, the chief of police reported some disorder, which was quelled, and the finding of a speak easy just outside the borough limits. This was left to county authorities; v Adjourned. A New Proprietor. Mr. John W. Downing has purchased the grocery business pf. Jones & Simon, in the Dickson block, on Walnut street. Mr. Downing tootc charge on the first of the month.. It is his intention to give! his patrons a fine selection of staple and fancy goods, and if you want! prompt' and courteous treatment and reasonable prices he can ac-j commodate you, ' . MRS.
