 the east side of the river would elim-
 mate this work as the natural grade
 would carry the sewerage into the
 proposed location. Borough Engi-
 neer Robert D. Beardsley is work
 ing on some tentative plans in re-
 lation to the proposed new loca-
 tion of the disposal plant. It will
 be necessary for the borough to &C.,
 quire this strip of land. | The borough bought the Freeman
 property a few years ago with the
