evening they laid definite plans to
remciy the (Condition. A committee
was authorized to draw up an ordi
nance empowering the circulation of a
petition among the property owners
along the pike. This petition, it is
understood, will ask the property own
ers to pay for all of the road building
in front of their properties and also
the street Intersections. Of course the
Harrisburg Railways Company will
pay for the work done between its
tracks and also for a short space on
each side of the tracks, but council
has been Informed that the company
would much more desire to have the
work done next Spring. Council is
willing to wait until then, too, before
starting any work, and In the mean
time all plans will be laid so that the
wcrk «an be hurried to completion.
Already there Is some opposition to
the plan pf council, fcome residents
believing that there should be some
aid from the State and county and
that the balance should be paid out
of the borough treasury and not by
the individual property holders along
the pike.
Until the actual construction of the
new road can be started, council de
rided to make what repairs are neces
sary. The highway committee was
instructed to procure stone and fill the
ruts.
Council also discussed the poor
drainage system existing In the bor-'
ough and the highway committee was
told to grade a number of places in an
effort to stop the flooding of cellars
along the pike after every heavy- rain.
One of the councilmen said last even
ing that some time In the future he
may propose the calling of a citizens'
meeting for the purpose of urging a
loan for good roads purposes.
