=-FFIFr-1t ~ IN losing no time in tax.
.aI4tV ENt4Ie-l2'y ing advantage Of the
80 SSssE5@5 licenses as they want
to get all the work
done before the frosty season arrives. For
that reason we find trenches under way on
Centre aud West streets, and in day or two
may expect to find them on limerick, Coal
and Bowers streets
The West street digging is being done by
the sewerage company which put in a large
main on Centre street, extending from Pear
alley to the western outskirts of the borough.
This company now has rights Of way for ex-
tending branch sewerage lines on West and
Jardin streets and Pear alley east and
west of its main line which will give about
one-third of the thickly populated portion
oftown substantial and effective sewerage.
1t is understood that some people are already
growing about the dirt being piled on the
streets, but as it is impossible to suspend it in
the air while the excavations are being made
the majority of the people will no doubt have
some patience.
The Shenandoah Heat and Power Company
also commenced making trench yesterday
Its men started at the intersection of Main
and Centre streets and will carry the trench
westward to the corner of Jardn street. This
work will not, or should not, consume as
much time as the digging of sewerage
trenches, because the depth required is not
by any means near that of the other Some
Of the sewerage lines require depth o
thirteen feet TO get a proper pitch for the pipe
The steam, on the other hand, is forced
through the pipes and the pitch does moi
require so much care.
1t is il the First ward that the sewerage
question excites the most interest Two
rights of way have been granted for Goa
street from limerick to Bowers streets and
the rights are held by two different com
panies. Whether these two companies will
clash in their operations remains to be seen
The Borough Council will have to be on the
alert for if the two should start together and
dig trench on each side Of the street fol
their respective lines traffic at the east end Of
Coal street will be entirely suspended for a
time.
The limerick Street Sewerage Company
has a right of way for extending its line from
the corner of Strawberry alley and limerick
street north and west to the corner of Coal
and Bowers streets. The Shenandoah Man.
utacturing Company has a right of way for q
new line from its factory ON limerick street
south and west to the corner of Coal and
Bowers streets, and south on the latter street
1t was thought by many that when the
Borough Council would insist upon the
factory line being extended to the borough
limits the company would consider the ex
pense too great and either abandon the pro
ject or make some joint arrangement
with the limerick street company, bu
it now appears that the com
pany will do neither. Mr.. II. w. Titman, &
member of the manufacturing company
stated positively yesterday that his company
will put in an independent sewerage line
from the factory, south on limerick street tC
Coal, west on Coal to Bowers, and south OF
Bowers clear to the creek which the Borough
Council has designated for the outlet. Mr.
Titman is very indignant and says that he
deems the action of Council in refusing tC
allow connection with the natural under
ground sewerage at the corner of Bowers and
Lloyd streets discrimination and his com
pany will take its line to the creek, what.
ever the cost may be. He also stated that
the declarations of some that all connections
with the underground sewerage mentioned
are to be cut of as nuisances will amount ia
nothing and that he was confident that such
connections cannot be cut of if the people
who have made them protest.
