I often am amused To hoar how I'm abused, Bat as it does no harm, I feel bat slight alarm.

Old men pass by and Bay That I have bad my day. Yoncg men laugh and joke Gall me Bristol's old' dead clock, While the women, bleu their hearts Say I so by and starts, And the little girl and boy Say tbat I'm a useless toy. They have lots ot fun with Bristol's old town clock. I was never heard complain By word of mouth or pen; Bat my silence now I'll end, And myself I shall defend, If I were so inclined And would boldly speak my mind Of the things that I have seen Sinoe the town clock I hare been, You'd have more respect for Bristol'! old town clock.

If you were in my place In this shanty of disgrace, All alive with lice and bugs, Alone witch oops and tramps and tlings, Would you really keep good time, In this aback of dirt and grime? Do you wonder then at Bristol's old town clock You may visit Zanzibar, Or the domains of the Ozar, Ton miy go and see the Turk, Who have little use for work; The Obinee and the lap, O'er the fingers you may rap, Bat all these would blush for shame A olty hall to claim Like the shack that shelters Bristol's old town clock. Now in closing let me say We can fix it in this way If a building you'll ereet That's deserving of respect, And will clean the bags and things from my body, wheels and springs I'll no more go on the bum, Bat for many yean to come Jon can the son by Bristol's old town clock.

Bristol, April 8ft 1906. COUNCIL MEETING Mill Owners, Board Health and Business Men Urge Passage of Ordinance. of The regular monthly meeting of the borough council was held on Monday evening and for the Hrat time since the council has been composed of representatives all of tile mem- jers were The meeting of unusual interest as matters ot deep im- mrtance were considered. The ordi- lance providing for a general election upon the question of bonding the bor- oagh in the sum of $100,000 (or tbe purpose of erecting a municipal water plant was presented and passed first reading; communications were received from the mill owners, all of tbe phjsi- oians of the town, tho Board of Health and the Business Men's Association pe titioo Ing council to pass the water ordi annual tax rate was fixed; tbe Street committee submitted a report on tbe sowsr proposition and the annual appropriation amounting to over were made. TDK ANNOAL APPKOPRIATION.

Tho Finance Committee reported it had given careful consideration to tbe re quests of the various committee for appropriations and as most of tbe items ware fixed charges they were granted. The Street committee which asked for $6,009 was reduced to $5,000 and the sal aries of the borough officers were fixed the snme as last year except that of borough treasurer which was raised from $2E to $150. The committee recommended that tha tax rate be fined at seventy-five cents on the one hundred dollars which woulil snpply ample revenue. The ordinance was submitted for approval. REPO11T ON SEWEB PROPOSITION.

Tba Committee on Streets and Highways reported tbat a general cleaning ol the street had been in progress and that orders bad been placed for crushed stone with which to re-surface some of the streets, which was now being done. At tentlon was called to tho fact that Cana street was being macadamized from Jefferson avenue to Beaver Dam road, by the mill owners, and that as Jefferson avenue from the railroad to canal had been fixed in a like manner by private interests it was recommended that Wash ingtou street from the railroad to Cana street be macadamized, thus connecting the stone roads in the mill district The committee reported that an electric light had been placed on Maple street in response to a petition. The committee submitted ing rtjport on the sewer question: Tho Committee on Streets and High ways has had numerous inquiries from citizens concerning the work intrusted to iti care respecting the preparation ol plant looking to a bouse drainage system sewers and a disposal plant for the borough. Your committee has given mucli tnougbt and time to this work unc its altitude toward this important im provoment has not changed in any parti cular. However, your committee has nol deemed it advisable to present this mat ter to the council at tbis time foi the reason that it believes tbe question of a municipal water plant to be of first and greatest importance and meets the re qnirements and wished of a larger num ber of taxpayers and citizens, am should be presented for the consideration of tbe qualified electors fairly and un trammeled by any other question of pub lie improvement, Your committee is lee to this conclusion by the reason, that after careful investigation, according to all available information in communities of this size, a sufficient quantity of wa ter I.H consumed by the citizens of this Boroagh, which, if sold at the prices prevailing in boroughs and towns of about Bristol's population should make the municipal water plant self-support ing as to Its operating expenses, interes on bonds and sinking fund, therefore, a municipal water plant would not presen any additional charges on the peopli they have not heretofore been acouetomei to meeting, and at the same time woulc iuauie them for all times, a supply pure water, abundant fire protection both at the lowest possible cost such service could be rendered to them by a water plant.

Ton installation of a house drainage system and a disposal plant would ne oessitate additional charges upon citizens either in tbe form of rentals, or taxes which they have not heretofore beon called npon to meet, amounting to abou 30 cents on the $100 of assessed valuation to provide for the interest and principa of bond issue necessary for the introduc tion of the sewers, also some additions annual expenditure for maintenance same. Furthermore, the expense of gath ering a sewage of a house, carrying i from a central point, through the yard under the pavementjto the point of con nection with tbe borough sewer woulc also involve an outlay of more or les cash money at the time property owner would make the necessary connection with the borough sewer in their street. Then again at some places in tbe town it would be necesary to use water fo flush ing purposes in connection with sew er system and with the borough control! Ing its own water supply it would be in position to meet these requirements from Its own plant. Further, we would state in our judg ment, the introduction of sewers in the town would enable a considerable num ber of propercius to establish baths ant closets and a more general use of wate for other purposes, thereby causing a considerable increase in the consumption Of water in'the borough for domestic uses. Tbis would be due, ot course, to the expenditure made by the borough in establishing a sewer system, and in ac quiring control of a water supply for the town the borough would rightly be in position to reap tbe valuable benefits tha' would be derjved from this large Inoeaai in the use of water due to its own ex pond i tore in the direction of sewers.

We would state, lor the information of coun oil, that in the judgment of your com raittee based on estimates of cost fnnish ed us by Engineers, there will avail able sufficient moneys to enable the Bor ongb to establish both a municipal wate plant and a municipal house draining sewer system and disposal plant, should the people so elect, and as a municipa water plant oou'd be maintained operated with no additional charge which the citizens and tax payers of the borojgh have not heretofore paid, am would be a necessarjajdjunct to the omical working of (T sewer system, feel a vote on this most neecessary am valuable public utility should not be coupled with one which would involv new charges upon property. Respectfully submitted, JOSEPH R. GRCNDY A. S. WILSON LODIS SPRING GTJSTAV A.

RATHKB GEORGE W. STBAUSEB. May 14th, 1906. POLICE REPORT. The Police committee reported tba during the month of April tha officer had made thirty-four arrests, fifteen fo violations of the automobile law, one fo nuisance, one for desertion, two for assault and battery, two for disorderly con duot, eight for affray, one for larceny and four lor drunkenness.

Three itree lights were reported out during tn month and eighty-one "Weary Willies' were given shelter at the station house. FIRE COMPANY WANTS MORE MONEY. The Fire committee reported that the liemlcai engine for No. 3 company bad ieen received and testec. and proved to be atiifactory; the hose belonging to the lepartment had been repaired and it was recommended that No.

1 company's annual appropriation be increased $100 requested. The committee also re- lOmmended tbat $187.39 be appropriated make first payment on chemical en- line. THE GARBAGE CONTRACT. The Health, Sanitation and Poor committee reported that it had adver- iised lor proposals for the removal of garbage and that D. Nesl was the lowest bidder at $60 per month and the committee recommended that he be given the contract.

The committee also reported that James Richardson had been notified to abate a nuisance at his place, corner of Market and Oodar streets. ORDINANCE COMMITTEES' REPORT. The Ordinance committee reported that it had held a meeting on May 10, to consider the preparation of an ordinance providing for an election to increase the bonded indebtedness of tbe boroagh $100,000 for the purpose of erecting municipal water works the draft of which was unanimously approved and was submitted to council. ACTION ON COMMITTEES' REPORTS. Dpon motion Finance committees recommendation tbat a 75-cent tax rate be fixed was approved.

The rules were suspended and the appropriation ordinance was passed finally. The only amendment to the ordinance was tbat the total appropriation was increased one thousand dollars and the Street committee given $5000 instead of $4000, as bad been reduced by the "Watch Dog of the Treasury," Mr. Wright. The ordinance appears in ttie advertising columns of tbis issue. The Street committees' supplemental report regarding tbe sewers was received, filed and approved.

The Police and Fire Committee's reports took the same course. The Health, Sanitation and Poor committee's report was received and filed and a contract authorized to be made with D. Neal for the collection of garbage. THE BONDING ORDINANCE. Mr.

Grundy stated that the bonding ordinance was presented in printed form for tbe convenience of the members. Tbe ordinance is one signifying the desire of the corporate authorities of the boroagh to make an increase of the indebtedness of the borough in the sum of $100,000 for the purposft of the construction of water works and a filtration plant, and providing for an election to be held at the usual places and by the officers provided by law for tbe holding of general elections on Tuesday, June 10th, between the hours of seven a. m. and seven p. m.

The clerk was instructed to i tbe members tbat a special meeting of conn- oil will be held next Monday evening for final consideration of the ordinance. WARDEN ELBUTED. Mr. Wright stated that the term of the Port Warden expired at this time and moved that council proceed to elect a member of tbe Board for two years and nominated Charles E. Scott the present Mr.

Grundy stated that he believed the term was three years and moved to amend by making the election for tbe full term. There being no other nominuton the clerk was instructed to cast the ballot for 0. E. Scott. TROLLEVS RAISE DOST.

Mr. Hooding called the attention of council to the distressing condition to which the residents of Otter street are obliged to submit on account of the terrible dost raised by tbe trolleys on that thoroughfare. He stated that the people could not sit on their porches on account of the nuisance and that on these warm days i cannot be left open. He asked that council take action to compel the company to sprinkle the street. Referred to Street committee with MILL OWNERS FOR NEW PLANT.

The following communications was received from tbe mill owners favoring tbe erection of a municipal water works and filtering plant: At a meeting held this day of the owners and operators of the industrial 1 plants ot Bristol, oar attention was called to the resolution of councils passed tbe 23rd of April, 1906, which provided for the presentation, at the next regular meeting of council, to be held May 14th, of an ordinance providing the increase of the bonded indebt- eduem of the Boroagh for the purpose of establishing a municipal water plant will supply filtered water to the citizens of the Borough, and afford abundant fire protection to inn property located therein. Our reason for addressing you upon this most important subject is not that such an improved water supply which would furnish abundant fire protection would be of any service to our mills, for tbe reason that long since the Mutual Insurance Companies, in which we are substantially all insured, have ceased to consider the protection of tbe Bristol Water Co. of any value to our plants, obliging us to install a separate system which meets modern requirements in the insurance world. Nor would such improved water supply be of any value to us for use about onr plants or in the arts of manufacturing, since we have an abundant supply fnrnisbed us for all possible requirements from the Delaware Division of tbe Lehigh Canal, Thus oar one aim in petitioning your honorable body in this particular is that wa believe that a water supply such as is proposed by tbe eminent engineers you have had in consultation would greatly improve the health of the people of tbe borough of Bristol, and improved health which would result from the use of pure water would mean much to us in tbe increased efficiency of labor, and much to the happiness and contentment of our employees. In the winter season we have noticed that whenever the river is covered with ice, as happens often for many weeks at a time, we will have from ten to fifteen per cent, of our employees upon our sick list and absent from work.

Upon inquiry as to tbe cause cf their indisposition we am uniformally told that it is due to Intestinal trouble, which the physicians of the town assure us is caused by the polluted condition of the water they are obliged to drink, the covering of ice on tbe river preventing any possible escape of pollution, This means an absence of earning power on the part of the labor of the town, as well as a loss of production on the part of the employers. Beside this we are satisfied that an equal number of people are at work at such times In onr mills, who, If not obliged by the stern necessities of life to labor, would be warranted by their pbysloal conditions in remaining at home. At nnoh times of tbe year when the river is thus covered with ice we are convinced tbat twenty-five per cent of those who are identified with us as employees are more or less effected and their usefulness in life ingly impaired by the drinking of water taken from the polluted source by the present water company. Another reason for approving the proposed action of council in affording the people of the town an opportunity to vote upon this most important question is that we take a natural pride in the development and prosperity ot the town. We can readily understand that the growth and development of Bristol is entirely dependent upon the increase ot its industrial establishments, and unless manufacturers who, for some reason or another are desirious of changing the location of their plant, can be assured by this community that they can be offered adequate fire protection they will naturally go where such facilities can be Obtained.

It must be moat humiliating to those who are sincerely interested -in the development ot Bristol to know tbat when those who might bring industrial plants to onr town inquire as to the advantages Bristol could afford, it is necessary with apologies to inform them that no protection can be looked for from tbe water company of the town which will pass the Factory Mutual Insurance Companies and the Borough will thai stand a poor ehow of attracting such desirable increase to its life against the competition of progressive communities, Which aiming for industrial development, keep their public utilities in line with modern development. We would also call your attention, as a reason for favoring this admirab movement which yon have started and tbat is the scarcity of dwellings for the employees of the various mrlls to occupy. There seems to be a want of local enterprise in the building of bouses in the town, and with this situation the only hope of further extensions of dwelling bouses could be hoped for from outside capital interesting itself in Bristol. We say without liustiancy that no capitalist or builder could be induced to come to Bristol and erect bouses without being assured of modern and adequate fire protection, and an abundant supply of wholesome water to invite a desirable class of tenants to come to Bristol would do much to influence capital in this much needed direction. It would appear to us that if the Borough of Bristol would be made a modern and up-to-date community which your body apparently wish it to become, it must provide itself with tbe ptfblic utilities which modern civilization deem necessary in order to attract tbe attention of prospective settlers whether they be employers or employees.

We would remind you that there is the same competition among the municipalities for advancement as between business houses in competing lines, and the community which provides itself with up-to-date utilities of a public char acter is bound to attract favorable attention to its location and progressive population to its midst. We are a'varn that possibly the establishment of municipal water plant as is proposed by your might entail some increase in tax, but numbering as we do among the largest taxpayers of the borough, we desire to say that should the establishment of the proposed water plant carry with it tome increase of taxes we would cheerfully acquiesce in same as we view the increased healthfulneas and the increased happiness which would come from the improved conditions of the water supply would abundantly reimburse us and other taxpayers of the borough for such necessary increase, if any. We therefore respectfully petition your honorable body to pass the ordinance called for by your resolution of April 23rd, 1906. T. B.

The following memorial signed by every practicing physician in the borough was read: To the Burgess and Council of the Bor- ougb of The Memorial of the undersigned phy sicians practicing in said borough respectfully your memorialists, in the course of their practice have been many times deeply impressed with the danger to the public health caused by the extremely unsatisfactory character of the drinking water suppled to our people by tbe Water Company, and that their attention has been frequently called to the unsanitary condition of the surroundings in the immediate vicinity of the water works arising from the great quantity of drainage emptied into the river above, at and below tha intake. Your memor- ialists therefore urge upon the Town Council to adopt promptly the proposition to install a new water works above the town, as set forth in sundry reports from your Committee aa Streets and Highways, known as "Plan No.

1," and through yon we urge upon our citizens to approve the same when it shall be brought before them for their consideration. Your memorialists have taken tbie action in tne firm belief tbat such installation will not only add greatly to the betterment of the public health but it will be of tbe utmost advantage and benefit to our Borough and its citizens in divers ways.
