Damages for Opening Streets.

In Bloomsburg proper, including lis
settled extensions, all damage for the
opening of streets, lanes, and alleys, is
charged upon the town. One of the
provisions of the Bloomsburg act of lth
of March, 1870, is, that such damages
shall be ascertaned and paid as like
damages are ascertained and paid under
the general borough laws throughout
the Commonwealth. BY this provision
of the town charter the county treasury
is relieved from all liability for such
improvements at the county seat. But
it is proper to explain that this provis-
ion Of Mr.. BUCKALEw's bill for the or.
ganization of the town could only take
effect upon proceedings to be begun in
court after its passage. The case of the
widening of Centre street and the ar-
preparation in part for the SHARPLEss
Foundry arose in court and was pending
a considerable time before the passage
of the act. The Court has decided that
all cases of opening streets since the act
must come under its provisions, and be
at the expense of the town. And this
certainly cannot be objected to by any
one when it is considered that similar
regulation applies to all the Boroughs of
the State which are subject to general
laws.
