New Castle. Sept AT a special meet
ing Of city Council last evening, all the
members were present except Messrs.
Duffy and Smith
Mr. Brison. who is representing the
Brylgon Steel Company. OF Reading. was
In Attendance and referred to the oponingl
Of a street TO the site OF the new steel
plants. He claims that Sixth street or
Second street should be opened. as no
other one would be OF any use to the
company.
Mr.. Gallagher said that Il would cost
$500 to open Sixth street, which Is TOO
costly to the city at the present time.
Mr.. Copper am as much interested
IN the matter as any other citizen and
think that city Council and trustees are
tho same. II the vestry OF the Episcopal
church isn't willing to open the street,
we shall have 10 do the best that can be
done"
Mr.. Ganagher-"we don't want to see
the plant OF the Brylgon steel Casting
Company disappointed after having spent
tho money on the grading. and have them
leave on account OF the opening Of Sixth
street"
Mr.. Jamiaon-'T think that In the
streets viii be opened leading TO the steel
plants"
Mr. Gailagher-"I think that IL would
be advisable to pay 500 or $500 and leave
a street open that would suit the Brylgon
Company.
The Trustees OF the Commons are will
Ing to open Fifth street for the Brylgor
Company and Seventh street for the Bait
, works
/ Mr.. Bross stated that II it was not pos.
! sible to keep tho Brylgon Company here
unless Sixth or Second streets could b.
opened II would be only right to pay th'
cost OF grading the street. And woulc
, be willing to be taxed $50 a year IN ordci
to keep the plant here" he added.
Mr.. Reynolds-"It was the Trustees OF
the Commons who said that Sixth stree
would be opened to the plants and no
, the Council
! Mr.. "copper" think that for shor
time the extra travei OF iso feet wov-i no
stand in the way OF the plants. uuui th'
city could get the street IN prope
snaps"
Mr.. Brison-'I never heard of a tenn
porary concern being placed In good or
der yet"
Mr.. Brison-eI would like to knoN
J. something definite tonight. II not. wi
J. stop the work Of grading and not leav
o the company 20 to any more expense
Z We have already spent considerabl
money IN grading the land and tn hyin
$ the railroad track"
