CARBON DA LB. Mayor Kilpatrick sent a communication to. select council last evening, in which he called the attention of that body to the fact that the city is without a board of health, as failure of councils to confirm appointments made by him leave the board a quorum. He dwelt at some length upon the spread of small pox through out the valley, and said that action must be taken to prevent its getting into Carbondale. The board of health should, therefore, be in condition to cope with the matter, and as it is at present the entire work devolves upon the officers.

In closing the communication the mayor said that unless councils took immediate steps in the matter he would invoke the aid of the state board of health and of the courts, if necessary. Accompanying the message were appointments to the board o. health as follows: Dr. H. Wheeler, to succeed Dr.

A. F. Gillis resigned; T. A. Kirkwood, to succeed E.

H. W. Burke, resigned, and Gilbert B. Sampson, to succeed A. E.

Tiffany whose term expired. The mayor asked that the appointments be confirm ed. The communication was placed on file and the appointments referred to the committee on judiciary and legis lation. The resolution from common council instructing the chief of the Are department to have all hydrants in the city placed in repair, was referred to the light, fire and water committee Mr. Thompson said he did not see the necessity of such a resolution.

He thought the chief was being paid for attending to such matters and that the councils should not be called upon to instruct him to do his work. An ordinance providing for the grading of Ninth avenus was reported upon favorably and ordered printed The ordinance calling for the erection of an incandescent light at the inter section of Canaan and Belmont streets passed final reading. An ordinance which provides for the erection of in candescent lights at the following points passed first reading: Fallbrook street, near Anlhr.ny Duffy's, Fallbrook street near Cassie McHale's, Fallbrook street near Patrick Langan's, Dundaff street near Richard Nolan's corner Summit avenue and Thorn streets, corner Gravity and Jeffry streets, Richmond street near Owen Lewis', corner Gilbert street and Summit avenue, corner Oak avenue and Birkett street, Willow street at O. W. crossing, corner Ninth avenue and Main street.

South Church street near Giles' property, Corner Woodlawn avenue and Carden street, Pike street near Thomas Judge's, Scott street near Anthony Horan's, South Hospital street near Collins' property, corner Belmont street and Reynolds avenue. Chairman Fletcher spoke at some length upon the necessity of going a little slower in the matter of placing additional lights. He said that the electric light expense had already been increase $300, and the lights now askpd for would carry with them an additional expense of about $400. He also said that tne lights are being placed unjustly; that favoritism entered into the distribution of the lights and that there are a large number of places in the town which need lights worse than some that are called for. He said it would be a good idea for the light, fire and water committee to take a drive around the town some dark night and place the lights where they are really needed.

SCHOOL BOARD MEETING. The city school board held a brief session last evening and did little besides ordering paid some bills against the school district. One of the bills was to the amount of $900, interest on bonds. President Hughes called the attention of the board to the prevalence of small pox, and spoke upon the precautionary measures that are being taken in other towns. Some few months ago the board enforced the vaccination rule, but there are still a large number who have not complied with the rule.

On motion the superintendent was instructed to notify the teachers to get a list of all the pupils who have not been vaccinated. K. OF F. M. BANQUET.

The Jermyn borough council met in special session last evening to take action upon the bids received some time ago for lighting the borough streets. The four bids, as previously published, were upon the table and representatives of three of the bid ders were present. Attorney Carey, on behalf of the Jermyn Electric Light company, made an additional offer to his bid, which was to pay into the borough treasury a bonus of $300 if his company was awarded the contract.

Mr. Hemelright, another bidder.was called upon and admitted that the opinion of the borough attorney that his bid could not be considered, as he had no charter, was correct, and that he was practically out of the bidding. He, however, was of the opinion, that the other bids were too high and that other places were getting lights cheaper than Jermyn. Being challenged to name the places he was unable to do so. J.

D. Stocker. of the People's company, another bidder, said that in view of recent decisions of the lower oourts, he could not guarantee the borough against litigation if his company was awarded the contract. If given the contract his company would endeavor to hold it, but he was of the opinion that costly litigation would ensue. A motion that all the bids be rejected, which was made by Theron Moon, was defeated by a yea and nay vote, Dunn and T.

Moon, the mover and seconder of the motion, voting only for it. After some further discussion a motion to accept the Jermyn company's bid was made and carried by a 5 to 2 vote, Dunn and T. Moon being the minority. An ordinance was then presented covering the contract, but it wns laid over until the regular meeting Friday Mr. Peter McCartney, the well known Mayfield barber, died last night.
