announcement of it's intention to

Object to Sewer Rates.

Now that the Board of Health has
taken action and the Borough Council
in adopting its recommendation has
decided that the pollution OF the sew
eral streams must cease aud that priv
ate sewers emptying into them must
be connected with the Borough sewer
in thirty days, the matter of cost be
comes a subject of consideration.
There is much objection to the sewer
rates among those who are obliged TO
connect. The ordinance relating to
the use of sewers provides for a tap
page fee or charge together with an
additional yearly charge to be paid
the Borough by the owner of the pre-
misses. 1t is held that lump sum
should be paid down for connecting
with a sewer and that this should end
the matter The yearly charge is OBJ
jected to. Council, however, which
before adopting rates consulted several
other towns, is disposed to stand by its
ordinance.
The tappage fee or charge is as fol-
! lows:
For each building to one connection
the sum of ten dollars.
For each connection to one building
! the sum of ten dollars.
In addition are the following yearly
| charges:
For each dwelling, for each store
room, for each shop, for each office,
the sum of three dollars per year.
For each public hall and for each
restaurant and for each bottling works
the sum of FIVE dollars per year.
For each hotel, for each slaughter
house, for each laundry, for each rail
road station, for each livery stable
the sum of ten dollars per year.
For each brewery, for each factory
the sum of twenty dollars per year.
1t is found that the Borough in con
sultIng ordinances elsewhere saw fit T.
adopt almost the highest sewer rate
that could be found instead of COZ
forming with the lower charges thu
prevail in many well governed town
near home.
This is all right for the municipalif
but it Is hard on those who pay TIA
bill and thus a Borough sewer design
ed as a public blessing is apt to beoom
a burden to the individual citizen.

To Keep rlilI Street Clean.

Keeping Mill street clean and pre-
sentable, since being paved, is prob
lem that is not yet solved to the sat
isfaction of all. The street, which was
cleanly flushed last Saturday week,
by the middle of last week began to
show mp very badly. 1t has become
apparent that street sweeper Will
have to be purchased to use in connec-
ton with sprinkling or that some 9th
er measure equally as etficaciOus Will
have to be employed. Council has not
abandoned the idea of flushing the
street with fire hose. The objection
that the force of the water from the
mains has the tendency to dislodge the
cement from between the bricks is met
by the suggestion that the nozzle be
! removed from the hose.
BY action of Council this plan will
/ be adopted as an experiment and dur
/ ing two weeks the streets will be kept
/ clean by flushing. The work is to be
in the hands of the Street Commission
er, who twice this week and next will
apply water by fire hose using no noz'
zle. He will make report at next
meeting of Council, when further ac'
tion will Dc taken.

Gas a Popular Fuel.

The Standard Gas Company 10 ex-
tending its service ON a large scale by
installing a new four inch main along
several thoroughfares that were not
supplied with gas before.
Excavation for pipe at present is IN
progress along Church street between
Front and Market streets. The ex-
tension beginning at the gas works ex-
tends south on Nassau street. TO Front
street, down the latter thoroughfare to
Church street and north on the latter
street to Bloom street. The compare
lively limited territory on Church
street between East Market street and
A. @. Amesbury's is about the only
part covered by the extension that has
gas at present.
Gas is becoming very popular as a
summer fuel and is rapidly displacing
coal or coal OIL 1t was to meet this
growing demand that the new main
was made necessary.
The pipe has been delivered along
Church street, but it will be some time
before the main will be completed In
its entirety.

rIust Connect in Thirty Days.

number of private sewers draining in
to the creeks interseCting the Borough,
which sewers the Board of Health de.
clared to be nusiances and requested
that in every instance they be connect
ed with the Borough sewer.
The action taken by Council pro-
vides that such connection must be
made in thirty days. p. J. Keefer,

MARKET STREET
SHOULD Be PAVED

Despite many inquiries it is praoti-
| cally impossible to determine the ex
act status of street paving on East
Market street. That the sentiment in
favor Of paving largely predominates
along certain portions of the thorough
fare there would seem to be but little
doubt. There is some opposition, it is
true. but whether it will prove suffici-
ent to hold up paving can hardly be
determined until it comes to the test.
East Market street ought to be paw
ed. Street paving is fine improve
ment which not only adds to town
in a general way but also enhances the
value of abutting property and con-
tributes TO the pleasure and comfort OF
those who travel or reside on street
that is paved. Taking Mill street with
it's dry and attractive surface as an ex-
ample, who would wish to 60 back to
the former time when the only method
of crossing was by ungainly stepping
stones and the whole street was rem
dered unsightiy by either a deep de-
posit of mud or of dust.
If East Market street is to be paved
now is the time to DO it, while the
roadbed is torn up in laying the troll
ley track IL behooves those who have
an interest in the matter to work dill
gently, as at the present junctuIe every
passing moment unemployed Is that
much valuable time lost.
In paving East Market street, it is
held, that concrete need not be used
and that the paving blocks can be laid
on a course of sand, as is done in some
of the streets of Sunbury and in other
towns. This makes very thorough
job as durable as any and reduces the
cost very much. An expert has figur-
ed that pavement laid in this way
without concrete, could be put down
at a cost to property owners of less
than two dollars per lineal foot.
Canvassing should be pushed at once
along the entire street where paving
seems at all possible and the above
facts as to cost should be presented to
every person not in sympathy with
paving.
The sentiment in favor of paving
East Market street is general about
town and there are those who reside
on other thoroughfares and have only
general interest on East Market
street who have pledged contribu-
tion of money to assist in bearing the
expense at one or more places where
the property owners have not the
necessary means.
1t is plainly evident that now is the
time to act while enthusiasm is at
high water mark and when the pave
ment can be laid with the least outlay
of money.

The Best of Everything.

The pleasing announcement is made
that the Sig. Sautelle & Welsh Broth
ers Combined Railroad Shows and
Menagerie are coming to Danville on
Tuesday, May 16. This great union Of
shows is one of the tented enterprises
of this day where ladies and children
can visit safely, and where no word.
act or deed is permitted to offend the
most exscting or intellectual visitor.
The entire equipment of these shows
this season is all new. and besides the
circus and hippodrome features are en-
tirely new to this section, and all OF
strikingly original and novel oharact-
er. The Press Agent of the show de-
scribes the new street parde in the fol-
lowing language. 1t is superb and
sense ravishing pagesntry, presenting
a glittering avalanche of splendor. "
According to the claims of the modest
Press Agent it certainly will be worth
seeing. This feature is given each
morning, leaving the show grounds at
ten o'clock, and will pass through the
principal streets. Upon the return Of
the parade to the grounds, a number OF
free open air exhibitions are promiseds
including remarkably high dive from
lofty ladder into a net below by
Capt. u. Latlip, a fireman OF the
Brooklyn, n. Y. department.

Third Wards Fine Showing.

W. L. McClure and w. J. Rogers.
who have been appointed by the Sol
ders' Monument Committee to can
yass the Third Ward. have been excep-
tionally successful and have received
subscriptions to the amount of S2523. 76.
Two thousand dollars of the above
sum are made up Of four five-hundred
dollar subscriptions included in the
balance is subscription of s67. rs from
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union of Danville.
Csnvassing has been going on slow
ly in the other wards of the Borough
but just what amounts have been sub
scribed have not been reported.
The showing made by the Third
Ward is sufficient to indicate that when
a determined and well-sustained effort
is put forth the results will be pretty
sure to pay for the labor. Under the
circumstances it is too early to despair
of raising the money needed for the
Soldiers Monument.
