The Law in the Matter.

Now that the question of the improve
general agitation it is well to publish the
law in the matter, so that the taXpaYing
public may fully understand the point at
issue. First street must be substantially
better it will be, both for properly holders
and business men along the thoroughfare.
The law, as given below, expressly stipu-
lates the power of council and the condi-
tions governing the improvement, and no
unreasonable objections should prevent
operations being commenced as soon as
circumstances will permit,
THE LAW,
An Act authorizing the councils of incorpora
ted boroughs to require the paving, curbing and
macadamizing of streets or thOroughfares or
parts thereof, and assesses a portion OF the cost
of the same on the owners of property abutting
thereon. and providing for the collection Of the
sIme.
Section L. Be 1t enacted that from and after
the passage of this act the council of any incor-
pOrated borough OF this Commonwealth shall
have the power to require by ordinance and
cause to be paved, curbed or macadamiZed with
brick, stone or other suitable materials, any
public street or thOrouglfare or parts thereof
which is now or may hereafter be laid out and
opened in any of said boroughs, and collect in
the manner hereinafter provided, two-thirds of
the cost and expense of the same from the own
ers of the real estate boLnding and abutting as
aforesaid, said assessment to be estimated by
the Street Commissioner or o,her person in
charge OF said work or other competent author
ity designated by the council of said borough.
Provided, That the council OF any such borough
shall not require, or cause to be paved, any
street or thoroughfare or any part thereof eX-
cept upon the petition of tw0-thirds of the own
ers of the property representing not less than
two-thrds III number of feet of the properties
fronting or abutting on said street or thorough
fare or the part thereof proposed to be paved.

BUSINESS MEN ana property owners are
the individuals who will profit mostly by
the addition of manufacturing industries
to our town. 1t is plain then why they
should encourage enterprise. They will
gain by it in increased rents, increased
value of property and in numerous other
ways, all of which should be evident.
Recognizing this, why it ought to be an
easy matter to raise guarantee for the
rolling mill project. Unite your purse
strings and get down to work.
