Sir: About six months ago the coun-
ell of Dunmore borough passed an or
dinance which called for five-foot side
walks from Webster avenue, along
West Drinker street and Electric ave-
nue. to Adams avenue Flags to be
laid ON both sides of the street and
cutters Various reasons were given
by property holders for not comply
ing with the ordinance, some main
tanning that the council had no right
to pass such an ordinance and some
pointed to the damage suit of John
Brink ct al, with significant mods.
Those who remember the Brink case
know full well that there is not one
property along this line situated as
Mr.. Drinks was. In fact, there is
not building on either West Drinker
street below Webster, or on Electric
avenue which has stood for fifteen
years. And if any one has been SO
foolish as to build in the road he should
suffer the consequences of his folly
and not the public.
Others said tha- when the traction
company saw fit to place their tracks
in the middle of the road they would
Immediately proceed TO lay walks. The
traction company having graciously
complied with the councils request in
this matter, why do not these people
defend their good name and honor?
Others have been so unwiTe and,
might say penurious, that to save a
few dollars they have been satisfied
to lay four-fOOt walks. Considering the
fact that the total expense to each
prODertV holder is only about $40 and
any conservative real estate man will
say that the properties will be bene-
htted a least double that amount, these
people are certainly penny wise and
pound foolish" But, perhaps they will
wake from their lethargy and save
the strong arm of the law additional
