( big paving program. for which the

coo at Tuesdays eelction. were started
this morning.
Borough Solicitor Frank b. Wicker
sham is busy drawing up the necessary
| legal papers to make the bonds avail
able and z. c. Henderson, chairman
OF the highway committee of council,
announced this morning that he will
likely present an ordinance at the next
meeting of council authorizing sale of
the bonds by the proper borough Of
ficers.
Mr.. Henderson also plans to intro
duce an ordinance authorizing the
paving and grading of at least few
OF the streets to be paved under the
present program and will likely pre-
sent his measure at the next meeting
OF council, June s.
ON account of the present scarcity
OF labor and the prevailing high prices
or paving materials, il is likely that
only n few OF the streets will be paved
this year. 1t is rather late, Mr.. Hem
uerson explained, to start such a large
paving program in its entirety this
year and he will suggest that council
clear up the necessary legal formali-
ties and pass the required ordinances
at an early date so that an early start
may be made on a small part of the
program this year. This will permit
paving all the streets to be improved
IN the early part of next year.
Just what streets will be paved first.
