 Attend Fair
 Fourteen members of the auxiliary of the Ancient Order of Hibernian attended the New York Worlds Fair recently, motoring to Bridge port and continuing to New York on the Richard Peck. They were: Miss Josephine Fitzgerald, Mrs. T. P. Brosnahan, Mrs. Nora St. John, Mrs. Bridge Schmidt, Mrs. Julia Curtin, Mrs. Nellie Scanlon, Miss Margaret Scanlon, Mrs. Anna Hogan, Miss Margaret Nolan, Miss Julia Curtin, Miss Mazie Callahan, Mrs. Margaret Brennan and Miss Anna Knightly. Many Matters Discussed A number of matters were brought up by Republican burgesses at the borough board meeting last night. Burgess Joseph Nygren asked about the Sweeney street sidewalks and was informed it is hoped to put walks there this year for those who want them. When MT. Nygren re- ferrer to dust condition on Aetna street because of work there, Supt. of Streets Harold Murtha said it is planned to oil, gravel and grade this street within two weeks.
 Warden John J. Sheridan said 1t is planned to create a WPA project to replace some of the old street signs here. The matter of fixing a hump on Cottage street was discuss ed and it was revealed by Borough Engineer R. D. Beardsley this is not an accepted town street. So the en- gineer was ordered to submit pro- files preparatory to grading the street.
 At the request of Burgess Hoadley a dead-end street sign will be placed at Carroll Court, strangers often mistaking that street for High street A direction sign will be placed at the Pond Hill schoolhouse. During a discussion on rubbish collection, it was revealed five trucks are used for two days in each collection and the collection cost is about $100. Burgess Thomas Broder said if collections do not some one month, residents should make larger containers for their rubbish.
 Eric Gabrielson is willing to give the town a small strip of land at the corner of Johnson and May street in return for the town eliminating a It was voted on the suggestion of Burgess Leo Smigelski to have a street light at the corner of Bridge and Brennan streets moved to the opposite side of Brennan street.
 Safety Group
 Warden Sheridan disclosed plans of safety committee for the borough, sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, when Burgess Smigel- ski asked speed limit signs be placed on Spring street as there is much speeding there. The warden explained state law does not permit a municipality to set signs denoting certain speed limits on its streets.
 The state traffic commission can set speed limits on state trunk line highways such as Church and Prospect streets. An attempt to se- cure this right for municipalities failed two years ago in the state leg iSiature.
 A local committee will meet one a month to hear complaints or suggeS- tions for improvement of safety conditions in the town, the warden said. The borough has been fortu- nate as there have been no serious accidents on Maple street, he said. It is possible this committee will sponsor bill for the next legisla- ture which would give the town the right to set a speed limit on certain of it's streets. Slow signs could be placed at Spring street, the warden said.
 MT. Smigelski declared a roof of a building on the Curtiss property on Prospect street is hazardous to those going near it, and the warden said the building inspector is investigat- ing there.
 Pension Delayed Action on setting the maunt of 2 pension for Ambrose Daly, former Action on setting the amount of g for 47 years, was delayed until the next session. The warden may dis GUS it with the school superintend- ent. The legislature recently ap- proved the pension and set $50 a month as a minimum. It is likely tc be made retroactive to the passing of the bill by the legislature.
 Matthew Karbowicz was giver permission to connect a roof drain into storm sewer near his build- ing at the corner of High and City Hill streets. Borough Engineer Beardsley said people should be en- couraged to connect with sewers Burgesses George Fellows and Ere mont Hoadley were named as a committee to continue conference. with electricians concerning ar electrical ordinance.
 The warden was empowdered to investigate the need of street lighl near the home of William Boies on the Whittemore development, witt power to order the light in. The
