MORE STREETS
WILL BE PAVED

Iithic TO Be Used.
SMITH ST. ORDINANCE
P ropsriy Owners Petition to
Have Miller Street Opensd
Into William Street.

The improvement of street conditions
Is still occupying a considerable portion
of the time of the Board of Aldermen.
An ordinance was introduced and pass
ed on it's first reading last night pro
viding for the paving of Smith street
between High and State streets, with
asphalt blocks. Advertisements were or
dered published announcing the inten-
tion of the board TO pave several streets
with bitulithie. These were as follows:
Division street, from New Brunswick
avenue to Washington street; New
street, between the same points; Bar
racks street, between the same points
and Park avenue, from New Brunswick k
avenue to Broad street.
The board granted petitions for the
grading and improving of the follow
ing streets: Stockton street from Smith
street to Lehigh avenue; Fayette street
from Stockton to Clifford street and
Laurie street, from Cornell street to
New Brunswick avenue
Want Miller Street Opened.
A petition was received, which was
referred to the street and sewer com
mittee asking that Miller street be
opened into William street. The only
access the residents of this street now
have to State street is through Pearl
Place, q roundabout way. They have
been getting to State street through
Miller and Williams streets over q lot
owned by Mrs. Hugh Riley. Mrs. Riley
has now staken this lot in Miller street
off, so that 1t is necessary to use Pearl
Place to get TO State street. The lot Is
25 by 100 and the petitioners ask that
the city buy the lot and open Miller
street to William street.
As Penn street is about TO be paved
the board ordered last night that house
connections be laid to the curb line
from the sewer in that street before the
paving begins. This includes the por-
ton of Penn street south from Hall
avenue.
Permit for Private Sewer.
A petition was received from resi-
dents in Colfax street, asking permis-
sion TO lay private sewer, 267 feet
long, running west to connect with the
Grant street sewer. They asked per
mission to lay 10 inch main. The
Board granted the request providing
that the main be 12 inch. The differ
enee in cost is not much and the board
would save the tearing up Of 10 inch
main for larger pipe, should the terri
tory in question demand it at some flu
ture time. In constructing the sewer
privately the residents save the cost
of advertising, assessing etc. which
the board thinks advisable considering
the shortness of the proposed sewer.
