WIDEN REIFFS ,   MILL ROAD.
40 Feet Between Main Street and Tennis Avenue.
Ambler Council Couatdera ?tany Sub- Jecta—Poll Tax and tbe Electric Light Contract—Mr.Heckler Wanta Falrvlew Avenue Narro-wed.
The regular meeting of Ambler borough council was held Tuesday evening, with President Hartou in the chair, and Messrs. Craft, Rose, Hex, Jenkins, Acuff aud Turner in attend¬ ance. The minutes of the May meet¬ ing were read and apnroved.
Mr. Rose, of the highway commit¬ tee, reported the committee has beeu oyer the streets during the mouth. The objecting tree on Banuockburu avenue has beeu removed and cinders have been placed on one side of the street and the contractor has partly rolled the same. The gas aud water pipe trenches iu several places need going over. The water company has promised to replace the fills ou Nortii Spriug Gardeu street and ou Mouut Pleasant aveune, while the gas com¬ pauy announces it is waiting for a ¦steapi roller, aud ou iii- arrival the trenches will be rolled. There are some places,alBO,where the counections to houses have resulted iu gutters across the highways. The committee found some of the btrms of the street overgrown wilh glass and weeds, and the removal of these will require mnch labor. The committee recommends 'placing a large pipe ou Rosemary aveuue, across Water street, with au inlet to drain C. .L Kemmerer's land and carry the water into the 24.inch pipe to South Maiu street.
Mr. Craft stated that the property ovKiiers in geueral cau aid the officiars by keeping streets and berms clean of grass and weeds or ; eepiug same cut diwn.
..¦iir. Jeukius, of the fiuauce commit- tl9*, reporteil haviug interviewed Col¬ lector Neemau, who assured Mr. Jen¬ kins that he is doing all iu his jiower to collect the outstanding taxes, which rOtenue is so badly needed at present.
~'t. Turner of the light committee, rted that the light company has inted the reflectors on the street ts.
egarding rhe legality of collecting poll tax, Mr. Rose stated that ordinance levying the tax was d ou Juue, 1907, while the light act for a period of five years was Feb. -1, 1907, and he argues that uoh as the contract calls for the iunt by the borough of a certain. ^om or mniiey, the borongli hat iio right to attempt, by taxation or other¬ wise, tu reduce this figure. He also claims that the cost of iusjieitiug the poles is $24 per year, aud in rhe face of this a tax of 10 cents per pole, yielding more thau this cost, is iu its uatnre a revenue, which the supreme court has decidetl is illegal.
Solicitor Foulke read the contract and asked that he be given more time to consider the matter before makiug his report to council as to the legality of the present tax. The amouut of the tax from the light comjiany is .^01, and the company lias refused to accept a voucher drawn for overdue lighting bills, less this tax.
The law and order committee report¬ ed that the officer desires a week's vacation, aud same was granted, he to provide a suitable substitute.
Mr. Turner, of tue building committee, rejiorted a permit an Italian iu South Ambler.
Treasurer Fanst reported a balance ou hand of $2G7.33.
A nnmber of the neighbors petition¬ ed that actiou be takeu against Albert Weeks, whom, it is alleged by the petitioners, is maintaiuiug a nuisance by reason of a uuniber of dogs which he is charged with keejdng on the premises. The petition was referred to the solicitor to ascertain what steps can be taken in the matter.
The following bills were ordered paid : Extra work ou streets, $33,75; Wissahickon Fire company, $50,31; R. J. Ford, $52,50 Albert Cnlu, $48; Gutsav Pfanner, $27.92; J. G. Dane¬ hower, $30; "Ambler Gazette," $2; Philadelphia Suburban Gas and Elec¬ tric compauy,50 cents; Wm. C. Evans, $20.37.
D. F. Marple, by letter, alleged council owes him $27.50 for garbage collection in March, 1910. Conncil passed an order for two week, amounting to $13.75, as per the recom¬ mendation of the board of health and according to the terms of the contract.
James H. Gillin presented a plan of a projMsed narrowing aud change of Fairview avenue. It was stated that L. B. Heckler has erected his houses and even laid curb and sidewalk there¬ on, so that now it seems necessary to suggect a change ou that street to con¬ form with the imjirovemeuts. It is asked that the street be made 33 in¬ stead of 40 feet aud that it commence at a Jioiut two feet farther north on Hendricks street and end at a point seveu feet farther norf, on Rosemont aveuue.   The matter'/as laid over.
Mr. Craft reporfjd haviug inter¬ viewed Wm. C.

White Clly Drawa Color Line.
If negroes visit the White City parte at Chestnut Hill, they will hereafter be obliged to take all their recreation standing or in walking aronud. They will uot be permitted to sit on the benches or seek comfort iu the rocking chairs in the pavilion.
This order was promulgated by Henry B. Auchy, general manager of the resort, who issued the following aunouncement:
'' We have so many negroes iu the Jiark that many complaints have come trom wiiite patrons. In consequence we have restricted the use of the benches to the white persons.''
There was much indignation amoug negro visitors of the resort when the notice was read, bnt they found the rule inexorable, for special policemen quickly made it known that they must move ou. Accordingly many bf the negro pleasure hunters also moved out, but they went out very angry.
It is said that comjilaints will be filed with the authorities, and possibly a test made, to see if the owners of the White Oity can thus discriminate against visitors because of their color.
