NEW CASTLE, Aug. 12.-Andrew
BrysOn, a member Of the Street Com
mission, in speaking about the dig
ging Of trenches in the improved
streets, said last evening. 1T is moth
ing short of an outrage. Before the
commission commenced the outlay Of
nearly $4,000 for street improve
ment all property owners were re-
quested to connect their properties
with the sewer and the gas and water
companies were requested to run the
service pipes to the curb. Now just
look at the street. II is all bumps
and holes. Trenches have been dug
and they never have been put back
in the way the street was when the
work commenced. Before permit
is given to break the street $50
should be deposited to pay the cost
Of filling in the trench and putting
down the proper binder"
Complaints are continuously heard
regarding the condition of the street
after plumbers have connected SER
vice pipes from houses to the mains.
| The bed of the street is now broken
in several places where new trenches
were dug during the week.
