Grafton Tor the drain-pipe privileges they
had granted council. AIR. Wares stipula-
| tlon was that he should be given the
right to connect kitchen drain pipe
with the Borough's line through his
property, the one built to carry of sur
face water, but Mayor Crawford in the
meantime visited State Board Of Health
| headquarters where he was told that
such an arrangement must not be made.
This disruption of the amicable arrange
ment has been settled by the council
| men agreeing to furnish Mr. Ware with
terra Gotta piping and sufficient bricks
for a eesspool and, S. as remuneration
Tor his own labor
Engineer Clark told the Councilmen
hat there is difficulty in store for the
borough i'll relation to installing the
lrains-they must order deep cut of
ID feet through the hill near Reading
| avenue or else buy or condemn some
ground nearby. No conclusion could be
reached and the matter was deferred.
A Let Down
Mr.. i. G. Bostock for the Pleasantyilla
Water Co., showed himself to be past
master at the art of getting whatever
he starts out for. In his monthly re-
port lie told the councilmen that 1000
feet of pipe lines have been lowered
in the northern end of town, and that
there are 1900 feet south of Washington
above the limit, 500 feet of which lie
under car tracks. He claimed the water
improvements under way in this Bor-
ough will cost $500 and that for this
reason the councilmen should not exact
the strictest compliance with the courts
order He especially asked that his COM
pany shall be relieved of the expense of
lowering pipes that lie under turnouts
or switches as such work is non-essential
He expressed himself as willing to carry
out the intention and spirit of the
Water Company's ordinance, but at the
same time he made his purpose evident
to get as much latitude as necessary
from the councilmen. He was success
full.
Mr.. Bostock said that the new stand
pipe is on the Woodland avenue lot and
will be raised in the air very soon; also,
that much of the new main is ready at
the Palmyra works for shipment. The
Mayor asked the water man to have
car load of pipes shipped. MIR. Bostock
agreed although he prefers to wait till
the councilmen have consented to give
the surveyors services to locate the
depth they want the line laid in New
Road. The Water Company is far-sight-
ed i'll at least one particular. Mr.. Bo-
stock said that the Borough should now
authorize the placing of fire hydrants at
intervals of 1000 feet in New Road, as
the time is coming when plugs will be
wanted there Mr. Price objected to
.naI-inr, ,,uarnap+S fa, p,oro pIr.rv.
until the 20 that We're ordered two years
ago have been placed Mr. Bostock said
that the plugs will be placed as soon his
| company can see prospects Of revenues
in exchange for the expense that would
be involved.

gestion,- that the Borough call halt on
the practise OF installing expensive arc
