Mrs. Madge Gallagher, of Walnut
Street, presented communication ask
ing the council to view the damage done
her property by the late rain, caused by
the cutters being blocked by the con-
tractors of the Baptist Church allowing
refuse to fill up the gutter and compel
ling the water to run into her cellar.
Council instructed the street committee
to view the place and to see the owners
of the property who got the permit from
the burgess. They are to report at the
next semi-monthly meeting.
The street commissioner was instruct
ed to examine the properties whose
owners get permits and to see that all
cutters and sidewalks are kept clean.
The lookup committee reported that
the runaway leading from the hose
house needed repairs. A question arose
as to the duties of the janitor in case of
drying hose after practice by the fire
company. II was decided to lay the ap-
pointment of janitor over until after
the fire company meets, as it is probable
they may decide to appoi..t one for
their own room.
JOS Neuburger asked that the sewer
be laid on Front Street, west from Centre,
so as to reach his residence, but the
council agreed to follow the route laid
down until they find out if they can fin
ish the whole CT the system already
surveyed. There being no further busi-
ness council ajourned to meet on the
Goth inst.
