the spot and agreed that the street Is

way out of the difficulty and that was
to raise the track to conform with the
street. Mr. Goeser was of the opinion
that Bloom street ought to be repaired
| from end to end. He agreed that the
| bad drainage was due to the Borough s
mistake, but thought that inssmuoh

fitted by any improvement made the
company ought to agree to unite with
the Borough and bear one-half of the
cost of regarding and repairs.

that he thought the street railway COM
pany had cause to complain. The

that the track should be raised or the
street cut down.

dered that the Borough Surveyor be
requested to regrsde Bloom street to

next meeting. The object is to bring
street and railway to the same level,
raising the crossings and making 9TH
er improvements.
