Meeting Of Hyattsville Council.

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
EVANSVILLE. Md, August II, 1907.
At a meeting Of the council last evening
Acting Mayor ]. Fainter presiding, the
clerk was Instructed to notify the commits
soners of Prince George county that the
town authorities will cause an approach to
be constructed leading to the proposed
bridge over the Northwest branch, at the
foot of Highland avenue. connecting the
towns Of Hyattsville and Brentwood. The
county commissioners recently took up the
matter Of building the bridge. and the town
authorities We're notified that nothing could
be done unless the corporation would agree
to construct the approach. The council also
voted to expend the entire amount of the
county road rebate fund. amounting to
about $1,000 in matchmaking Johnson
avenue as far as possible. The work of ma
cadamizing Maryland avenue-the Wash
1ngton and Baltimore turnpike-within the
corporate limits Is now being prosecuted
under the direction of the Maryland high
way division. Johnson avenue the council
decided to make the first of the radiating
streets IN town to be permanently improved
with the road rebate money.
The council also had under consideratio
a proposition to widen Maryland avenue TO
width Of sixty feet and ordered the clerk
to request the contractors now macadamiz-
ing the roadway to furnish an estimate Of
the cost of doing the necessary excavation.
ETC. In eXcavating for the new roadway
the contractors have exposed the towns
water main. and the chief engineer of the
highway division has been requested to
lower the main to proper depth. the town
having originally laid the pipe to the then
established grade.
The question of installing meters on the
service pipes in Hyattsvle was discussed
and the unanimous opinion of the members
of the council was to the effect that 1t
would be necessary to resort to meters in
order to prevent wanton waste of water.
Under the law the town authorities have
the right to compel property owners to in
stall meters. and 1t Is generally believed
that they will take advantage of this au-
thority.
