Henderson r,f ,h ° Second Ward r,f Steelton to represent his ward in Council for the nrxt ,errrl - u might he well to mention * mm a few of the Items in which he was ' s • active, and in many cases prime mover. The Councilman during the ' veh years has served principally on Highways. Town Property and Police; i*mgm has served the entire seven years on IPiHMkfr'f mmt Highway. During six years of this time he has been the chairman, dur ? IMSi ing which period practically every I ; macadam street in the town has been jk rebuilt. Streets were oiled after much % opposition. This led to oiling in other sections of the town, thus eliminating ■H <lu.<t nuisance, and creating a better > ' | L sanitary condition. When Councll ■L' « j , ma n Henderson entered Council, there ''wlf t - was but one paved street. There are now betw een seven and eight miles, much of which is due to the Council man's persistent efforts. Mr. Hender son's experience with the Penna. Steel „ , ui » . Co ' P ,aced him in a position to know the materials necessary for the work and in this way the taxpayer received quality work at considerable savings. Much of the credit for the long drawn out suit between the United States Wood Preserving Co. and the Borough in the recovery claim for replacing curbing was due to the efforts and practical experience in his line. This, combined with legal talent enabled the Borough to win the c«u>e In the U. S. Court for $2,847. With Mr. Henderson entering Council the Storm Sewer problem was almost intolerable but after making a study of this situation, this matter has been handled from year to year until Steelton people can feel that with the 1,000 feet of storm sewer noW under way which will be completed under the supervision of the chairman will gi\e the Borough not only the best paved, but the best sewered borough in the State. As a town property Councilman, Mr. Henderson was chairman of the special committee appointed to purchase Citizen Combination Chemical the result was as in other cases, the best articles were obtained for the least money. The construction of the Locust street steps marks Steelton s most lasting and ornamental improvement. This work, done jointly between the borough and enterprising citizens, was done under the supervision of the Chairman of Highways. While Mr Henderson represents the, Second Ward in Council, he is termed by the taxpayers Is " Councilman at large, as he takes as much pride in other sections as he does a. h ,i;,AT,y^ OFFICE OF OSCAR G.
