SEWERAGE BUSINESS.
The street committee reported that

in regard to the sizes of pipes to be used
in the sewer. They also reported hay
ing visited, in company with Hon. Eek
ley b. Coke, the proposed outlet of the

r. They also stated that they had or
dered Franz Mackl, of Mauch Chunk, to
make the survey necessary to the laying
of the pipes.
Councilman Williamson spoke about
parties on Ridge Street, between Main
and South, making propositions to him
to have the sidewalks laid. He was told
that an ordinance was already passed
authorizing sidewalks to be laid on the
west side of that street.
Archibald Phillips asked council con-
cerning the award of the viewers, who
viewed the extension of Pine Street,
claiming that the assessment was too
high on him. He was told that the mat
ter was in the hands of the viewers,
and until their report was presented to
court council could do nothing.
SPECIAL SESSION TO BE CALLED.
The secretary reported that he had
written to five different manufacturers
of pipe, and also notified Surveyor
Mackl, of Mauch Chunk, to come up.
When an answer is received from them
he was authorized to call the council to-
gether in special session.
A question arose as to the time in
which payment for sidewalks put down
at the expense of the borough is to be
paid. 1t was agreed that all owners of
property whose sidewalks were put down
by the street commissioner be given ten
days notice to pay for the same. If
they fail to do so then the 20 per cent
will be added and mechanics liens filed
against them if not paid in thirty days.
Council then adjourned to meet at the
