Penbrook Has Until
Saturday to Accept
State Highway Aid

Citizens of Penbrook are in great
perpleXity over the paving question in
that town. For several months
movement has been on foot to pave
the main street. under the State aid
act. When the situation was most
favorable, however. some opposition
arose and an old decision of the Su-
preme Court was unearthed in support
OF the contention that the street paw
Ing having been improved eighteen
years ago, abutting property owners
could not now be assessed again for
paving.
More than three-fourths of the
property owners have agreed to the
Improvement, but those who are refus-
ing to sign the petition have practically
blocked the proposition. Highway
Commissioner Cunningham has eX-
tended the time for the acceptance
of the State aid until the end of this
week. Unless action is taken within
the time allotted, the borough will love
more than $1,000 set aside by the de-
partment for this paving.
1t is said that some of those who
have not yet signed the petition have
expressed n willingness to bear their
share of the cost in the event of the
improvement being made. Under the
arrangement proposed the State and
the street railway company will bear
a large part of the expense, making
it comparatively easy for the town to
get fine stretch of highway from one
end of the borough to the other.
1t is still the hope of the progressive
element of the citizens that those who
have not yet signed the petition will
change their mind before the end
of the week and thus save that pro-
portion of the expense which the State
is willing to contribute.
