of the Schuylkill Traction Company, had
made a verbal proposition to pave the inter
section of Main and Centre streets, provided
the borough would give the company the
privilege of putting turn out there, to con-
meet the Schuylkill Traction and Lakeside
Railways; and also to give the borough the
stone with which the Schuylkill Traction
track on Main street is paved if the borough
will pave the track with brick; If the bor-
ough will not do this the company will allow
the stone paving to remain.
