Sir: About six months ago the coun cil of Dunmore borough passed an or dinance which called for five-foot side walks from Webster avenue, along West Drinker street nnd Electric ave nue to Adams avenue. Flags to be laid on both sides of the street and gutters. Various reasons were given by property holders for not comply ing with the ordinance, some main taining that the council had no right to pass such an ordinance and some pointed to the damage suit of John Urlnk et al. with significant nods. Those who remember the Rrlnk case know full well that there is not one property along this line situated as Mr. Hrlnk's was. In fact, there Is not a building on either West Drinker street below Webster, or on Electric avenue which has stood for fifteen yeais. And if any one has been so foolish as to build in the road he should suffer the consequences of his folly and not the public. Others said tha when the traction company saw fit to place their tracks In the middle of the road they would immediately proceed to lay walks. The traction company having graciously compiled with the councils request In this matter, why do not these people defend their good name nnd honor'.' Others have been so unwire and, I might- say, penurious, that to save a few dollars they have been satisfied to lay four-foot walks. Considering the fact that tho total expense to each property holder Is only about $40 and any conservative real estate man will say that the propeitles will be liene dtted at least double that amount, these people are certainly "penny wise nnd pound foolish." Rut, perhaps they will wake from th, Ir lethargy and save the strong arm of the law additional Take Your BICYCLE REPAIRING! TO itlenbendei's Tho Uest Kquippcd oiiop in uiu OL.iic, n .".
