Cunningham St. Council Proceedings. The most important business attended to by the Council at its special meeting of Tnesday evening was the adoption of the ordinance providing for the payment of the system of sewerage for the northern part of the town. The number of feet <>l sewer pipe composing the system is 32,918; the number of feet of frontage, with the allowances as noted last week, is 32,217, and the entire cost with allowances fir collection, etc., i5#29.575.89. This makp« the cost per foot front 91 S-10tbs cents. Each assessment is noted in detail in the ordinance, which will be printed in thi paper next w( e'i. The petitions of several persons not on the line of the presert sewer for leave to connect with it immediately were held over for the reason that the sewer has not yet been taken ofT the hands of the con tractor; and again the sewer cannot bo used until a supply of water for the flush ing tanks is provided. There are several flashing tanks in the system, each of which holds 260 gallons, and a contract for the water will have to be made with the water company. Mr. Meredith is to be in Butler to-day and if the committee of the Council and he cannot agree on prices, the Council will go ahead and connect, and let the Court fix the price, which in New Castle for a similar system is said to be sl2 per tank per year. The P. <fc W. R. R., Mr. Fullertou and Mr. Rebhun have appealed from the report of the viewers in the mutter of straighten lng Centre Ave. and after some talk the solicitor was instructed to ask the Court to refer the report bark to the viewers for some corrections. If the matter gets into Court it will hang over for jin indefinite period, and the bridge will not be built this summer. The matter should be compromised or settled as soon as possible. Some surprise was expressed at the P. <fc W. R. K. Co appealing, as it is to the intere.-t of that company to have the bridgo built as soon as possible. The question of the percentage allowed the Borough Treasurer was brought up, and after consideration, the former action of the Council fixing the percentage at 1* was reconsidered, and the matter was referred to the finance committee. It is estimated that with the sewer age and paving assessments, the greater part of $200,000 will pass through the treasurer's hands this year, which would make the treasurer's percent age over $2,000, —a greater sum than the Council is disposed to pay for the work. The bond of the borough treasurer was fixed at $40,000, and that of the high con stable at S2OO. The borough engineer was instructed to establish the grades of N. McKean St. The borough solicitor was instructed to notify the owner of and contractor for the Sostoffice building of the suit brought by Ir. Smith, of Springdale, for injuries to his daughter, ana that if he secured a ver dict against the borough, suits to "recover over" would be entered. Mr. Stamm was instructed to see that Fair Ground St. was opened to its full width of 40 feet; the school board was ask ed to take action on the paving of strbets adjoining its buildiugs; the Chinese laundry matter was referred to the sewer commit tee; some building permits were granted; Messrs. McJunkin, Haffner and Perriue were appointed a committee to draft an ordinance to proteot the paved streets; the petition to pave Centre Ave. was referred to the paving committee; the whole Council is to meet on Brady St., Saturday, at 1 p. m , to consider the petition of Mr, Dale regard ing straightening'and grading that street; a fuss between Steve lluselton and the Chief of police was talked over, and the Council adjourned to meet next Tuesday evening.
