Crushed Stone Question-Broke His
 Leg-The TrOtting-GeneralN News of
 the Town.
 There are many of the citizsns and tax payers who are inquiring by what author ity the electric road or their employees are permitted to carry out of the borough for their own use in ballasting the electric road, carload after carload of the surplus crushed stone from Center street, where the track is now being laid. The stone in question is quite valuable and Is the prop erty of the borough, whose taxpayers paid quite dearly for getting 1t crushed and carted onto Center street. and the idea of letting the electric road company carry 1t away free of expense ia con sldered an out rage on the borough. Burgess Thomson was quite indignant over the matter Satur- day evening and interviewed Warden Treat regarding the calling of a special meeting of the board of board of burgesses to take action on the matter. Warden Treat stated that he thought 1t was proper for the cleo tric folks to have the stone, ss they are pledged to put the street in as good condition as before the track was laid and intend to replace the stons | carried away with fine crushed stone for top dressing. This reason is not satis- | factory to many other of the taxpayers, who believe that the crushed stone that Is being oarted away, Eeing the sole property 1 of the borough, should be used on Colony | or some other street where 1t is needed in ! the borough. Warden Treat alao states | that the electric company promise to put l the streets, both Center and Quinnipiac street, in first class condition. When the track was laid on Qainnipiac street last 1 December, the street wss to bs put in first clsss condition as soon as tine frost was out of the ground, but not sign of the work has been done yet.
