 There was a meeting of the court of burgesses last evening. The most matter to come up was in regard to macadamizing in the bor- Ough limits between the gutters and the strip to be built by the state. The state limit in width leaves space to be covered on both sides. The ex- pense of this work will be about $3OOO. It was decided to ask the town to bear half the expense of this work and the borough will take care of the other half The state officials have acted very generously in meet | ing the wishes of the town in build | ing from this end, and Warden Leach | feels that there should be no hesita- tion in meeting their demand for the extra work. AS the whole town will | be benefited by the improvement, it is believed sthat the expense of the work should be split between the town and the borough.
