 New Sidewalks Planned
 frequent users of planned side- walk on the west side of North Church street from Buckingham to Sherman streets have agreed to pay equal share toward the cost of the laying of the sidewalk. The work is to start soon and will be a WPA job. Usually owners of property adjoining the walks are assessed, but in this case, the probable users will bear the burden. People of the section started the movement and made plans which theysproposed to the borough. They feel the benefit they will derive from the walk will be worth the payments they make.
 The walk is expected to reduce the possibility of accidents from cars there.
