MADISON GAINS BY
NEW ORDINANCE
Railroad Will Maintain Sewers
and Borough Assessment
Is Reduced.
Especial to the Evening stnr.I

MADISON, March 2S.alThe new
railroad ordinance. as submitted to-
the people Yesterday for reference is
substantially tho same as that pub
lished on former occasion. The
payment of the assessment of dam
ages to property owners, however. is
reduced for the borough. They now
have to pay only 40 per per cent,
while formerly they had to bear ono
half of this expense. Another addi-
tional incumbency on the part of the
railroad is that 1t will. at it's own
expense, maintain, all sanitary sewer
and water pipes at Elm street, pro-
vided the borough shall require the
right-of-way thereof. 1t Is also pro-
vided that Elm street and Ridgedale
avenue shall not both be closed at
any time during the operations of the
railroad company. Kings road, on
the north side of Prospect street will
be closed during the work of con-
struction. This street will be relocat-
ed, as will also Union avenue. Other
streets will retain their present course
with the exception of a lowering of
some of the beds.
Commissioner Hopping suggested
that the commission await the COM
pletion of the architects plans before
taking this step. He pointed out that
perhaps suitable building could be
erected for this amount. This was
satisfactory to Mr.. Biertuempfel and /
Frederick c. Bredenbach, president of
the association, who headed the COM |
mittee.
For the purpose of getting modern
and advanced Ideas in the construc- |
