upon motion the following appro-
prlations were adopted unanimous
ly: Public lighting, $3,625; police,

q A discussion took place with ref
erence to an extension of the sewer
system in the neighborhood of Rah-
way avenue and Blazing Star road.
A map prepared by Borough Engi-
neer f. f. Simons was examined,
from which 1t appeared that certain
streets on the King Marsac Com
pany's track did not intersect and,
further. that some Of the streets
are unimproved and in fact private
streets. Judge DAILY, borough attor-
ney. advised that the borough could
not go through private property
with sewers unless the streets are
IN such condition that the borough
would be justified in accepting them.
The consideration of the subject
was finally put off until a later
meeting. Council adjourned until
