AN APPEAL TO BE MADE

BY the Penn Avenue Property Holders
From the Report of the Board of ofviewers
They Wanted Asphaltum and Object to
Block Stone.
The property holders on Penn avenue, be.
tween the intersection of Fifth avenue and
the city line, will take an appeal this morn
ing from the report of che Board of Viewers
on the repaving of tie street. The ordi-
nance for the repaving was passed on Feb
ruary 27, 1889. and was approved March 9.
The petitions state that one of the pro-
visions of the ordinance was that the own
ers should pay one-haaf of the cost of i'm
provement as stipulated in their petition for
the improvement. The petitions also state
that the petition and ordinance called for
asphaltum, but on the contrary it was re-
paved largely with block stone. That E.
J. Allen, T. J. O'Leary, Jr., and D. Wenke,
as Board OF Viewers, made reports OF the
amounts, which were approved and adver-
tsed. That the viewers had no authority
under acts of the Assembly in such cases.
The appeals further state that the petit
toners were advised by counsel that
through the city and contractors non-com-
pliance with the terms of the ordinance
there was cause for appeal. That the Off
GERS profess to be proceeding under the act
OF May 16, 1889, "An act relating to streets
and sewers in cities of the second class "
For these reasons the property holders ap-
peal and ask that an order be issued to the
clerk of councils directing him to certify
and return to the court all papers and pro-
ceedings in the case.
Messrs. Knox & Feed are the attorneys
for the appellants and have so far prepared
80 cases. Others are expected to be made
this morning. The entire amou mt is SEQ, ,000.
