SEWER ACTION
FOR MATAWAN
Health, Broad st. Extension
and Other Matters Dis
cussed by Council

MATAwAN. June 14.-At a long
drawn out meeting of the borough
council last night. matters in rela-
ton to the sewer, health, Broad
street extension and license ordi-
nance for reddlers were discussed.
The sewer discussion consisted of
n few pointed remarks between Mr..
Stevens of the johnson Company,
engineers Of New York City. who
are to superintend the construction
OF the sewer and Mayor William II.
Sutphin and Councilman William v.
Clark. The discussion for the most
part conferred about the question of
the disposal plant, Mr.. Clark main
tanning that the council had been
forced to do work in relation to this
that should have been done by the
Johnson Company. However. mat
ters were finally settled and Mr..
Stevens agreed to have the plans
ready as soon as possible so that the
Borough Attorney Elmer III. Geran
a draw the necessary legal papers
for the construction of the sewer
system here.
Following the sewer discussion
the Broad street extension ordinance
was taken up and passed on second
reading. But three. property holders

be cut through were present to pro-
test to the opening of the street as
it would damage their property.
These were: Mrs. Jacob Matthews,
| Mrs. Wilson Lisk and Mrs. r. Hen
derson. Following the objections of
these persons the ordinance was Civ
ca its third reading and passed.
Mayor Sutphin then appointed the
following commission on benefits
and damages for the extension of
Broad street: William L. Van Brunt,
Francis c. Bedle and Peter p. Nun
ming.
set as the time the council will meet
the property owners of lower Main
| street to take up the extension of
Broad street in the lower end of
the borough from Little street to
a point in Main street near the New
York e. Long Branch railroad depot.
A request has already been made to
the council from some property
owners in this section of the borough
to have the street opened.
Floyd Taylor, a member OF the
| Board of Health, which organiza-
| ton attended the meeting in a body,
read a communication to the coun-
Gil concerning a recent inspection of
Sdiiitdty tOiluitioAo III IL
and desired to know the date when
the sewer will be started. .
The health board was informed
that the sewer will be started this
year and completed early in 1928.
AS the conditions in the ravine at
the Gully bridge were in such a bad
shape, Councilman Lisk was instruc-
ted to confer with the health board
for a remedy.
Attorney Geran was instructed to
| draw UP a license ordinance govern
ing all sorts of peddling in the bor-
ough. The council decided that $25
per year would be a correct license
fee for vendors to pay. Attorney
Geran will make the ordinance ready
for first reading at the next meeting
of the council.
A request to block off the side
walk in Main street near Little
street for the storing of material
while the new theatre is under cons
struction was granted.
