Honesdale Side Walks Scored.
The condition of several sections
of Honesdale's sidewalks was criti-
cised by the council. A section of
walk on Sixth street, where cobb1e
stones are very much in evidence,
was ordered to be repaired. The
council will have the sidewalk made
passable. At present pedestrians
are compelled to walk around the
stones. The owner of a piece of
property located on Seventeenth
street has so far refused to build a
walk on that street and thus comply
with the councils request. Other
property owners have done their

the walk laid. A certain section of
walk on the south side of Park
street is in very bad condition. The
president of the council referred the
matter to the street committee,
which has been instructed to report
to the owner of the property and
have same placed on a grade with
adjoining properties. ..
Town Buys Sewer.

Reuben Bodie on East street has
been purchased by the town. Con-
