Sewer System.

Sewer System.
 The sewer voted at the last an nual meeting upon Carter street has been constructed. The assessments this coming fall. The entire sewer system of the borough is standing up and enduring well. Being a gravity system, entirely, it is working with out expense to the municipality. A projected sewer upon High street has been petitioned for and will be acted upon at the coming annual meeting. There is agitation for a sewer upon Main street from near Hutchins street northerly to the borough line to make Main street available for state high way improvement. There is also agitation for a sewer up Mechanics street to North street or from the Five Mile river up North street to Me- chanics street to take care of the Con necticut Mills drainage

There has been a commend able spirit of economy on the part of the burgesses. They have been veri- table watch dogs of the treasury" The coU~eous. faithful and effective work of the borough treasurer also ueSeTNeS mention.
 The street lighting system has worked out well during the year and reflects credit upon the lighting com- m1ttee of two years ago, which com mittee worked out, arranged and in- stalled the present policy. The pres ent lighting committee has been eff f1cient in continuing that scheme
 Many Houses Built.
 More homes have been built within fhn Sfe- rfod than. for several previous years. The building committee has worked well. Undoubtedly during the com- ing year many houses will be erected and the incoming building committee should be alert.
 ducted without friction. Early in March the water wa sturned off from the two watering troughs in the borought because of the prevalence of glanders and fancy amonf horses The service for the dumb animals will be resumed as soon as safety will per init.
 The park, of which all citizens are justly proud, was unusually verdant last season because of the wet sum- mer. The moisture however, made it difficult to keep the weeds out of the less in evidence than in preceding years-a hopeful situation.
 In the warning for the coming an nual meeting, four additional fire alarm boxes are asked for. These, if voted, will complete the fire alarm for all time, unless the borough limits are extended.
 Night Patrol Established.
 During the past year. since Decem- Der 1st, day and night police pa trol has been established and main tained in the business or mercantile section. The results have been very generally commented upon favorably. | The sagacity of the police committee | has provided this without any appre- 1 ciable expense to the taxpayers. The business men on Main street have made small weekly contributions for this service, which donations have materially helped support the patrol i without any heavy draft upon the treasury. It is fair and right that l the business men should do this, for | the patrol is entirely in the section occupied by them.
 It is not necessary to comment further upon the fire department oI | upon the health department because Of the reports of the heads of those bureaus. These reports. as we'll as that of the librarian should be reaC by the inhabitants of the borough.
