1t appears that all the hurry and
trouble to pass the North End paving
ordinance before the reorganization of
councils occurred was in vain. There
was no objection 10 the project, but a
question of legality has been raised
concerning the process, there being a
probable conflict between the ordinance
and the petition.
The fifteen-day limit allowed by law
in which the mayor could sign the
measure expired yesterday. Mayor
Bailey signed the ordinance in view of
the possibility that it might be de-
clared tlawless, but he has kept it in
his possession and will not surrender
it until the point is settled.
The ordinance was drawn to conform
to a petition that would be emphatic
in its declaration for brick pavement.
After the passage of the measure
President SandersOn, of select council
held that the petition was not specific
in its declaration for brick, although
no question existed that it indicated
such material was wanted. The petit
tion contains the names of the abutting
property owners and their preference
of material. Only about one-fifteenth
of the number petitioned for asphalt
and the remainder for brick, but the
petition does not read, as it should,
that brick was wanted.
Under the circumstances it is likely
that a new ordinance will be prepared
and quickly passed. so that the paving
contract may be awarded and the work
possible.

Mayor Bailey was in Williamsport
Saturday and Sunday and was obliged
to leave that city at midnight Sunday
night and wait nearly six hours in
Northumberland in order to reach here
in time TO sign before noon the appro-
priatiOn ordinance which did not pass.
The failure Of the mayor to adminis-
ter the oaths Of office to the new coun-
ell presidents was not wholly contrary
to custom Mayors Connell and Fellows
performed that duty, however.
