The land abutting on the sidewalk thus inundated is owned by the P A H. Railway Co. The borough before doing anything to improve drainage at that point, then fore,apprised J. E. Turk, superintendent of this division, of the conditions on Railroad streff. The result was that the conferi nee that took place yesterday was arrang ed. At 10 o'clock Superintendent Turk accompanied by V». D. Keczie.division en.-'ueor, and John McCarthy, supei visor, came down to Dnnvil! • in hi "dingy" or epecinl car.
