That is about the sum that the people of Butler havo expended for improvements since the election wu held by which the Council was aathoriicd to go ahead and make them and bond the town for the bor ough's share, under tho Sewer and Paving Acts, to the extent of 7 per cent, of the preoeding valuation. The assessed valua tion at that time was, in round numbers, $2,000,000, aud the bonded indebtedness of the town to-day is $62,000, of which $35,- 000 was for tho borough's third of the pav ing and $25,000 for the two main sewers: and this leaves the Council yet at liberty to pave some morn streets if the property owners petition therefor.
