~
year Of the village council was held
Tuesday night, with every member
present but Councilman Dallas War
ner, who was delayed in arriving
home from Elmira, N. ", where he
went last Sunday to hasten delivery of
the new fire engine recently purchased
by the village. However, Mr.. War
ner arrived on the 1910 car and was
with council for the remaining hour
Of the meeting.
Very few items Of business were
transacted other than the approving
of a. large budget Of bills and the ap-
p0intment by the mayor Of the var
ious committees for the coming year.
After some discussion council placed
4 an order with the Fabric Fire Hose
Co., of New York, for 500 feet of
hose, an agent of the company being
at the meeting. The new hose is
from the same company that has sup
piled the village in the past, whose
product has proved highly satisfac-
tory, say the firemen.
The village has at present HOO feet
of hose, 600 feet of which has been
in service for five years and 500 for
Z three years. All Of this hose is still
in excellent condition. The new hose
carries guarantee from the company
for three years.
Superintendent Of Sewers Albert
Fretter brought to the attention of
council recommendation made some
time ago by an inspector from the
State Health Department that more
thorough method be employed in the
disposal of the village sewage. 1t
developed at the meeting that the
sewage disposal plant has never been
completed, neither the south or north
ones, although the former is in the
better condition. Mr.. Fretter esti-
mated $500 as the approximate cost
of placing the plant in a condition ac-
ceptable to the State Board Of Health,
and motion was carried authorizing
Mr.. Fretter to proceed to have the
work done, according to his own judg-
ment.
Councilman Boyden stated that he
had been requested by Solicitor Van
Epp to ask council to meet with the
county commissioners at the. latter's
regular meeting next Monday, to dis
cuss ways and means Of improving N.
Y Court street from Union street to the
north incorporation line. Through
n Mr.. Boyden the solicitor also suggest
ed to council for its consideration the
proposition Of paving that portion of
East Washington street forming the
boundary of Spring Grove cemetery.
This is part Of proposed plan to
provide a continuous improved road
from Medina to Akron. Connecting
with the village portion is an unim-
proved strip Of between FIVE and six
miles which the county commissioners
have under consideration to improve
and another short strip of about two
and one-half miles in Summit county
that the commissioners of the latter
county have signifed a willingness tc
pave. The remainder of the twenty.
mile stretch has been paved for some
time. The council, Of course, took nc
action Tuesday night, but were unan.
imous in the opinion that the i'm
provement was most desirable one
and would fulfill long-felt need.
Upon the arrival of Councilman
Warner the latter stated that the new
fire engine will not arrive before tht
middle of February. He stated tha
the engine is built and was about tt
be painted which the company statet
would require about three weeks be
fore the engine would be ready TO-
shipment.
