Councilman Stidfole brought up the
matter of the riding of bicycles on the
sidewalks. After a general discussion
it was decided that the proper method
was for the residents to make COM
plant to the borough recorder.
John G. Schanck complained of the
dust On Front street and stated that
he and other merchants were willing
to pay for the sprinkling of the street
II necessary. He was informed that
the Board of Freeholders had agreed
to pay the borough for s~prinkling the
same until the time of the placing OF
tarvia on it. This had been done, but
owing to the excessive rains h tarvlas
had proved a failure and had not been
accepted by the county authorities
and that The work vas now being done
over n the contractors had almost
reached the borough limits. Upon
motion it was ordered that the sprink-
ling be resumed and continued until
the tarvia was laid and the expense
thereof be charged to the county.
Mr.. Schanck also asked that the
sewer system be extended and water
pipes laid on Maple place from Beers
street westerly to the bridge. He
stated that his son desired to build
tnere. n matter was referred 10 the
Sewer Committee for investigation.
Mr.. Schanck also raised the ques-
ton of the crow Of Front street
in the commercial district n asked
if some steps could be taken 10 relieve
the congestion there. The matter was
discussed at length. .Clery Terry in
formed the council that 1t was h idea
of the State Highway Commission to
widen the street almost four feet and
as this work was to be done in the
near future 1t would be best to take no
action at the present time.
Fire Chief Snyder requested that
the council purchase five hundred feet
OF hose for the new American La
France engine and also W nozzles for
it.
Engineer Crawford stated that it
would be impossible to install the new
hydrant on the corner of Main and
Elizabeth streets unless the water sup
ply throughout the borough was turn
ed OF. This was occasioned by the
fact of a leaky valve in the neighbor-
hood He suggested that this be
done the following Sunday morning.
1t was accordingly agreed that the
matter be left in his hands and that
hand bills be distributed throughout
