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.

Kggs are the source of all life in this world. Were it not for eggs
there would be no life. Now this being the case, would k -not be
wisdom to use the utmost endeavors to keep eggs in the very best
possible condition. And to that end take advantage of apy appliance
which will assist in the furtherance of that purpose. To enable the
farmers of Butler count} to look after their interests in the matter of
eggs, we have made arrangements with the Farmer's Egg Case Com
pany, by which we will be enabled to present to each customer one of
their Celebrated Egg Cases, on the following: terms each customer
will receive a ticket upon which will be figures in all amounting to
$.20.00. When coming in to buy bring this card with you, and. what
ever the amount of your purchase may be it will be punched out of
the ticket, and when the amount of $20.00 is purchased, you will re
ceive one of those justly Celebrated Egg Cases, the handiest thing
ever manufactured, and will also have the advantage of Ritter & Ral
ston's low prices on Dry Goods, Carpets, Wraps and Trimmings. Do
not fail to come in and examine these wonderful Cases.
