the treasurer's bond reported that they
had done SO in company with the bor-
ough solicitor and that it was approved.
The question of beginning the laying
of sewers on Washington and Adams
advocated the work being done by the
street commissioner, claiming that in
doing so it would give employment to u
number of men of the borough, and that
as result the borough would be bene-
fitted by it, in preference to having it
done by contract. 1t was decided that
committee consisting of Messrs. Breslin,
Meehan and Zemany be authorized to
purchase pipe, and, when ready, to
notify the street commissioner to begin
the work.
A committee consisting of James p.
McNels and John NJ. Powell appeared
before council to take such steps as they
may deem proper toward procuring n
better system of fire alarm. The com
mittee had no system to offer, but left it
to the discretion of council. 1t was
decided to meet on Monday next with
the board of directors and talk the
matter over.
The street committee was instructed
to have crossings placed on Centre street
wherever they are needed, and to pur-
chase stones for that purpose.
