MOY TOWN COMMISSIONERS. On yesterday the 6th inst., the first meeting of the Town Commissioners of Moy, appointed under the 9th Geo. IV. cap 82, was held in the Court-house of that town, when the commissioners were sworn in before W. W. Algeo and Jas. E. Jackson, Esqrs., two of Her Majesty's Justices of the Peace for the County of Tyrone. The commissioners then proceeded to appoint a chairman ; whereupon it was moved by David Barry, Esq., and seconded by Thos. F. Hawkins, Esq., That Galbraith Johnstone, Esq., be elected chairman. Upon the motion of James Sloan, Esq., seconded by the Rev. Samuel Shaw, Mr. John W. Hanna was unniamously [sic] elected clerk. Several other resolutions, having for their object the improvement of the town, and its civic economy, were likewise adopted; but inasmuch as the season was so far advanced, and that it was in contemplation to form a Gas Company, it was decided on not lighting the town with oil at present. The project of a Gas Company has been for some time entertained, and as the gasometer would be so located as to supply the towns of Moy and Charlemont with gas, we have no doubt but that it would prove a remunerative speculation. From the spirit evinced at the meeting, and the statements made by Capt. Algeo, as to the anxiety of Lord Charlemont to assist by every means in his power, we may safely congratulate the inhabitants of both towns on having this project speedily realized. |
