Commissioner Jackson, Secretary Gil
ligan and President of Board of Health
Miller made the annual inspection of
the borough Thursday. The trip was
made in eight hours, during which time
they found that the following tremen-
dously large amount of repairs were
necessary: A lateral sewer between
Quincy avenue and Delaware street,
to empty into the Sixth ward sewer;
also lateral sewer from Willow street
down Chestnut to Elm, from Elm to
empty into the Burke street sewer; a
retaining wall at the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western crossing at Nay
Aug; grading of Prescott avenue, be-
tween William street and the city line;
a stone wall to carry the water across
Donegal and Galway streets in Bunker
hill; the erection of electric lights at
the following places: One at the corner
of Donegal and Galway streets In
Bunker Hill; one at the corner of Will
low and Spencer streets, and one at
the corner of jefferson avenue and
Drinker street; fire plugs will be erect
ed at the corner of, Donegal and Gal
way street, Leitrim and Antrim
streets, Drinker and Blakely streets,
Brook and Blakely streets, one oppo-
site Bolands store on Sport Hill, and
one at the corner of Monroe avenue
and Delaware street. A fire alarm box
will be placed at the corner of Jeffer-
son avenue and Green Ridge street.
The Powell matter was thoroughly in
vestigated, but they thought the
amount of damages asked by him ex-
orbitant. A law suit will be the re-
suit. The Potter property on East
Drinker street, which the owner claims
is being damaged by a stream of water
flowing through 1t, was examined. The
stream was found to be a natural
course, therefore the borough could not
be held liable.

ders had Jo Ginell arrested last night
charging him with threatening to XIII.
The case was tried before Justice or

and his case was dismissed. Yonders,
however, proved without doubt that
his life had been threatened. He told
so plaintive a story about being fright
ened by Gineell that the squire held
Ginell in $500 bail to answer at court.
