Passages of ordinances which
condemn a number of properties in
the way of New road extension, and
the annual borough budget brought
a record crowd out last night as
the Linwood Council met in the
Borough hall. Both the budget or
dinance and the series of condem-
nation ordinances were slated for
public hearing and final passage.
Because Of an amendment which
solicitor Elwood c. Weeks declared
had to be tackled to the condemna-
ton ordinances, they were only
passed on second reading.
The budget ordinance, amended
to make the amount raised by tax
alton in Linwood $20,18411, on mo-
ton of Councilman Pennell, of the
finance committee, was finally
passed without a single objection.
1t is the largest ever passed by the
Borough.
Portions of the budget amended
were: Assessment and collection
of taxes, from $1,000 to $500; in
terest on current loans, from 5000
to s1,7OO; public safety, reduced
from $500 to $500. The current
loan item was increased because OF
an ordinance passed which finances
the New Road extension plan.
The sum of s25,5S411 is needed
to run the municipality this year,
according TO figures worked out By
the Finance committee, of which
Councilman Pennell is chairman
OF this sum, $1,000 will be raised by
anticipated revenue.
The majority OF those who at
tended the meeting were more in
terested in the New road extension
ordinances than they were in the
budget, however. The series of or
dinances, numbered from one TO IA,
were objected to twice as they were
read. One was formal objection
by letter, another was an oral one.
The ordinance providing for a
Board of three men to be known as
a Board of Benefits and Damages,
which would place a valuation on
real estate to be condemned, was
passed on second reading.
A letter signed by Charles c.
Babcock, a solicitor, protested
against the condemnation of prop
erty owned by Elmer Powers and
Miss Ella ]. Powers and another
tract owned by Miss Ella ]. Pow
ers. The objection was received
and ordered filed
George w. Snyder objected to the
ordinance which would condemn
his property. He declared that the
damages would be more than $4,000
but because the Council wished the
New Road extension, he asked
SO. 500 for the land. The objection
was referred to the street commit
tee, and the ordinance was passed
on second reading.
An ordinance providing for an
issue of temporary bonds in the
sum of $4,000 was passed on first
reading and will have public hear
ing and be finally passed on March
Z. The money is to be used to fl
nance the New Road extension.
The school board asked Council
for the sum OF s2O,250, which IS
needed for payment on the school
addition.
Ordinance No. Is, prohibiting the
parking of automobiles on the
Shore road between Maple and Elm
avenues, and certain sections OF the
mill DOnd road near
the pond, was passed on first read
ing. 1t will have a public hearing
