Once More Notice
to Pave is Served
For the Unpty Elev-
enth Time Flag
Has Dropped

Ihe Suburban Traction Com
pany has been served with notict
to comply with the terms of th,
ordinance in the matter Of keeping
Shore Road in condition and re
pair. This is not the very frs
| iimc that borough council has serv
d ten day limitations on the com
pany, but it may be the last, who
! tnows!
The Mayor expy ssed himself a
Monday nights session as unfav
erablc TO any other action at this
time, hence the resolution and it
offspring, the notice. Meanwhile
without a doubt, the people shall
await the beginning Of paving oper-
+ations. That they shall be disap-
pointed is a cock SIRE thing.
There were some things said at
his noteworthy meeting Of the
councilman, BY several plain ordin-
Try citizcns who desire to have
'leasmItville emerge from the
lcpths Of the degradation due to
he condition Of the main street.
Mr.. L. II. Barrett was of the
opinion that the people do not want
he present ordinance, and that the
trect should be made of some bet
er material than gravel. He is in
avor Q fthe best paving material,
,ut if this cannot be secured, s'let
is get the best we can for the mon
" declared the commodore.
Mr.. Barrett declared himself as
lnalterablv opposed to gravel for
he streets surface, for it is not
rood in summer unless it is kept
vet, and who is going to sprinkle
he street, he said. "We can not
.ompel the company to do this
Mr.. J. Al Mckinney recorded
ilnlself as against ! cheap road
way, for he feels certain that tho
'eeple will awake to find them
elves sorry. He feels that tho
sllburban's owners are trying te
inload the paving Of the street on
he borough's shoulders.
Aftcr a general DISCUSSION, read
ng and re-reading Of the poor old
ordinance, Mr.. Stiles, Of North
Main street, expressed himself as
Ii favor Of getting what we can
rom the company, even if the
something be but temporary. Ii
y doing the town will be bene-
ittcd for a time and III the mean
while the citizens will have the op-
portunity Of determining what they
want to do i'll the selection of pay
ng material.
Throughout the darting Of ora
orical shafts Mayor Sooy main
aimed his footing, that the Subur-
9an has not complied with its
ordinance, and further to tht
fleet that until this has been don,
he people should not be called up
III to pave the street. He was the
promoter Of the ten day notice vote,
which received unanimous ap-
oroval.
The Mayor was responsible for
ne more historical feature, the
passage Of the amendment to the
Interstate Telephone Company's
ordinance, without his, the chief
'Xccutivc's signature. The ordin-
ancc is now a law. Mayor Soov
xplains his stand ty saying that
he is opposed to the creation of adj
lition pole lines, which he forsees
viii come as there has not as yet
been a tentative agreement reached
between the Pleasantville Electric
Company and the phone people
whereby the two corporations may
use the same poles
