JUDGMENT Int
Erred ON AWARDS

The report of the viewers appointed
TO Assess damages sustained by the
four Mill street properties by reason
of the change of grade was confirmed
absolutely by the Court yesterday. AS
next step judgment was entered on
the awards. from which the Borough
will file its appeals IN due time.
The awards ss rendered by the Jury
in the Mill street damage cases are rs
follows: Sporting property, s554
Frances Hartman property, $500
Schuster property, $3.50; Ella Cousart
estate, 9l75. In entering Judgment for
verdict $2G were added in each case
for costs.
The Borough Council bases it's ap-
peal on the ground that the damages
are excessive. The next step of course
will be trial by jury. In the present
case popularity exists in the fact
that the property owners as we'll au
the Borough Council is dissatisfied
with the award. Neither side agreeing
with the viewers, a court trial would
seem TO be about the only means of
settling the matter
A great deal Of formslity remains to
be complied with Issues will first
have TO be formulated. after which the
cas- 5 will be regularly put on list for
trial in Court of Quarter Sessions. 1t
is hardly likely that the cases will be
ready for trial in May.

Will Be PUSHED
TO COM LET ON

People who have occasion to use the
new State Highway b.tween Danville
and Mausdale, which has lain all win
ter III an unfinished state, will be- glad
to learn that the work is atout TO be
resumed and carried speedily to com
plrtlon. The road, naturally bad in
the Spring of the year, with recon
SrTuction at it's present ltage, has not
been much improved and people are
heard to complain about it daily.
The work, which was begun toward
abe latter part of last Summer, seemed
TO proceed very slowly. The principal
part of the work seemed to lie in the
grading. There was an immense
amount of cutting and filling required
to level up and straighten the high
way as required by the plans. When
winter set in the grading was oomplet-
ed and the siX-inch course of crushed
cinder was applied from one end of the
road to the other. In this condition,
with the bare Cinder exposed, the road
has lain all winter.
When the snow was deep and the
sleighing was good but little annoy
ance was caused by the cinder, but
now the road from one end to the 9TH
er is bare of snow and it shows up in
bad shape.
The Maryland Construction Com.
pany, which has the contract, has Wi I
| ten on to Danville to learn what con-
dition the road is In and has stated
that a representative of the company
will be on hand in few days to pre-.
pare to resume the work. Nothing
more requires to be done than to apply
the three inches of trap rock. called
for by the contract, which will con.
sist of two courses, one being two
inches thick OF one and a half inch
rock and the other one inch of fine
screenings. This last course will be
subjected to heavy pressure under a
road roller. II the com pany is able to
carry out its plans the road will be
| finished before May lst.

BR[CGE APPROACH
ON south side

Tr response TO the petition presented
to the Court of Quarter Sessions of
Northumberland County by citizens of
Gearhart township asking that the
county bear the exp n>e of building
the road and tie approach t. the river
bridge on the South side board of
viewers has been appointed who will
meet on the ground next Saturday
forenoon.
Notices to the above effect have been
posted in the vicinity of the river
bridge, South Dauville, signed by the
viewers appointed, who are as follows
George F .Keefer, tEugineer) II. +.
Mann and P. @. Oberdorf, all resi-
dents of Sunbury. The time set for
the view is 1920 a. III. Saturday,
March l8, 1905.
The matter involved in the view is
one which affects the taxpayers of
GearhaIt township most vitally, as the
cost of the extensive filling up requir-
ed and the construction OF the high re-
tanning walls is estimated at not much
less than two thousand dollars They
take the view that this Is too heavy a
burden for the township to bear and
that the county should come to the re-
scue. Naturally, therefore, a good deal
Of interest centers on the view next
Saturday and there is no end Of con.
lecture as to what the outcome may
be.
The fact is stated that the portion
of filling up aud grading which legal
ly devolves upon the county extends
twelve feet further south than the two
wing walls built in connection with
the new bridge. This of course, i'm
plies the erection OF retaining walls
on each side for the above additional
distance. Since this portion of the
work will have to be done by the coun'
ty some think that the viewers may
fall in with the idea that the county
ought 70 assume the whole expense.
The greater part, il not all of the
earth used, will have TO be hauled
down from Blue Hill or from some
other points equally remote, which
will add to the co-t and prevent the
work from proceeding very rapidly. II
the approach is not completed by the
time that the bridge is open for traffic
it will at least be kept in condition
that VIII make driving over it 20 bic
80 that whatever problems may be pre-
sented there is norhinR in the situa.
tion that would prevent q free and an
easy use of the bridge at the earliest
possible date.
