The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1893-09-08

twelve o'clock dispos-
ing Of business which had accumulated since
the previous meeting In the quarters out
side the railing in the chamber sat President
spalding, Secretary scanlan, Messrs. Miles,
and McHale and Officer Miles, representatives
of the Board of Health, and for a while there
was joint meeting of both bodies
H. W. Titman, who had lively debate at
the School Board meeting on Wednesday
evening over steam heating, had sharp dis
cusson at the meeting last night over
sewerage proposition. Mr.. Titman asked for
a right of way to run sewerage pipe from
the new factory of the Shenandoah Manu-
featuring Company, along Coal to Bowers
street, and down the latter street to the
electric light station, where an underground
creek flows.
Mr.. Coakley said there is a sewerage line
within easy distance of the factory and he
understood the company had been offered the
privilege of connection on reasonable terms /;
and Mr.. Kane wanted to know the company's s
object in having an independent sewer.
Mr.. Titman answered that the distance to
connect with the limerick street sewer would
be as far as his company proposed running
the new sewer, and the people owning the
former want $500 for the privilege of con-
nection. In answer to question as to the
number of tenements that would be connected
with the factory line Mr.. Titman said he did
not know that there would be any, but that
the drain would be put in and if anybody
else wished to connect they could do so upon
paying their pro rata share.
Mr.. Coallley said that he did not favor the
underground creek as the outlet for the sewer,
and when asked by Mr.. Titman if he had an
interest in the Limerick street sewer he
replied that he had not.
Mr.. Titman then warmly charged imposi.
ton, and said that while the limerick street
line only cost $4O0 the owners had demanded
for the privilege of connection 800 from j.
NJ. Robbins, 500 from the School Board for
the Union street building and $500 from the
Shenandoah Manufacturing Company. He
also stated that the factory line could be run
to the dirt bank at the borough limits for less
money than the limerick street parties want
for the privilege of conpection. He also
stated that his people were not given a
chance to go in on pro rata share.
Council eventually decided to let the matter
lay over until the receipt of more definite
information.
Mr.. Titman then asked that a right of
way be granted to the Shenandoah Heat and
Power Company to extend its pipes from
White street 10 the All Saints church, and
the request was granted.
Dr. Spalding then addressed the Council
briefly setting forth what the Board of
Health had done and proposed doing and
concluding with an application for an appro
priation Of $500. The request was endorsed
by Borough Solicitor Pomeroy.
T. j. Miles then spoke and stated that the
encouragement the Board of Health had
thus far received from committees of Council
was not what it should be. He said the
board could not hope for success if the
proper officials of the borough do not CO.
operate with it.
Mr., Miles was informed that when the
board should find itself in need of assistance
it could call upon the Chief Burgess and
High Constable.
The Chief Burgess was instructed to pro-
ceed at once to have pavement laid along
the shaefier estate, at the west end of Coal
street.
Mr.. Gable, of the roads and highways
committee, reported that 22O feet of sew
erage pipe had been placed at Poplar and
Main street, so feet on Pear alley, and Is
feet of 1S-ineh pipe at the Hartnett property.
A statement showing the payments and
balances on the Main street paving contract
was presented and read, after which the sec
retary was instructed to notify Contractor
Grant to appear at the next meeting with a
complete statement.
A Aue of house at the corner of Cherry
and Gilbert streets was reported in bad con-
dtiOn.
Mr., Gallagher said he had inspected the
basement of the borough building and could
find no nuisance there, as reported by
Health Officer Miles.
The secretary read communication from
Miss Maggie Miles, claiming 5000 damages
The matter was referred to the law COM
