 Burgess Kavanagh was the ouly ab- sentee at the special meeting of the board of burgesses last evening. It was nearly half past eight when Warden Newton called the board to order. The first busi- ness was the question of macadamizing Center street, to complete the job from Wallace's to Simpson's factory. Warden Newton stated that the work should be done, but. that at the present there was no surplus to draw from and to pay for the same it will be necessary to borrow more money, as the present tax of five mills is only calculated to cover the regular expense of running the borough. J. P. Foster and Alfred Hampton, as committee from the fire department, appeared before the board, asking for an appropriation of $2O0 to assist the department to cover the expense of the forthcoming parade and picnic, and to assist in the entertainment of the visit ing companies from out of town, and also to buy necessary equipments for the department. The com mittee stated that all the paraphernalia of the department was considered by the members as the property of the borough and should be considered so in case that any member or number of members of the company left the department the property would be left at the company's house. Upon the motion of Burgess Biggins $20O was appropriated in response to the re- quest. A letter from Charles B. and G.. Selden Yale states tbat they are willing az a matter of courtesy and good feel ing to straighten their fence as desired, but are not willing to do it on any theory that our fence is an 1 encroaehment on the street. The letter was ordered placed on file. A letter from l the Beaumont avenue matter, states: We propose deeding the land to the borough for highway purposes, reserving the right to the heirs to build our own sidewalk as we see fit, provided the borough order 6 | sewer from Main street not less thar l 200 feet in lenghth within six months to be paid for in the usual way and subject l to the usual conditions, and guarantee that the road shall be put in good condi | ton after the sewer is built, or after @ little | time to settle the earth.
