interested in the matter from the first.
and that to some purpose, too. He
was in town two weeks ago talked
the matter over, and visited st. Ma
RVS church site, which is out and
away the most suitable in the borough
The church property has been offered
for $4,000, the church to remove the
building now standing upon it. This
sum Mr.. Tanning offers to give as soon
as the necessary legal matters may be
arranged. He will also, when the prop
erty is purchased and the old church
building removed, place a suitable curb
on both North and East Main streets.
This offer is made by Mr.. Tanning,
contingent upon the fact that all diff
ference Of opinion be eliminated. and
that all interested unite and pull to-
gether. There is now about $4,000 in
the hands of the trustees, $2,0 Of
which was given by Mr.. Tanning. This
sum should be sufficient to erect a
! fine monument that would be a last
ing object of beauty in the borough.
! A meeting of the borough is to be
called July to ratify and complete
all measures necessary to the tran
