IT IS NOW A QUESTION
POLICY.
OF
THE NEW GRADE REQUIRES 11
It Will Cost tho Borough Mora to
Cut Main Street Down to
Grade Than it Will to
do Paving.
HE condition of Main
street consequent upon
tho extension of tho
electric railway has
precipitated many argu
ments and some of tho
citizens seem to bo
greatly exercised over
tho matter. It seems
that one of tho
conditions the street coin-
mitteo imposed for tho extension of the road
was that tho tracks should bo laid at grade,
in view of the fact that the owners of prop
erty abutting on tho two squares upon
which the road is being laid have petitioned
Council for permission to pave. Tho com
pany readily agreed to the condition, as it
saw that to put tho tracks at grade in tho
first placo would save them troublo and
expense in relaying the track in the future.
So the tracks aro going down at grade and
as a cousequcuco immenso mounds of dirt aro
stretched along both sides of tho trench
which is over two feet deep, and deeper in
somo places, and the toi of the rails ou the
stringers aro several inches below the present
surface of the street.
Tho condition that presents itself is this
As tho tracks are being laid at present tho
roilway company will not be able to operato
its cars over tho extension until tho street, on
each side of the trench, is cut down to grade,
and until this is done wagons will not bo ablo
to cross Main street between tho Scheilly
House aud Cherry street. If Council under
takes to reduce the street to grade it is csti
mated tho cost will bo about $2,000, or con
siderablo more than its one-third share for
paving a square would bo,
Tho case has been discussed in all its
phases and somo of tho most prominent and
responsible citizens of the town havo
eluded that the cheapest and best method for
tho borough to get out of the dilemna is tho
pushing of tho street paving project with as
much speed as possible. It is understood
that tho contract proposed for tho paving
includes a condition that tho contractor shall
pavo tho street at grado, as provided by tho
borough surveyor. If such is tho case tho
sooner tho contract for paving is awarded
and the work is started the bettor off will
bo the Borough Council, the abutting prop
erty owners and citizens who aro obliged to
drive over tho street.
It is understood Council will take action in
tho matter on Thursday ovening.
Tho situation clearly reflects tho absurdity
of the system of street improvements this
borough has upheld for so many years. Tho
depositing of stone and dirt upon tho streots
year after year, regardless of the grado and
in pursuance of that so-called "common
sense " theory, has raised them to an almost
incrodible height. In some places tho road
ways are two and three feet abovo tho top of
the cuib lino.
If Council proposes to adhere to tho grade
policy It has now laid down and intends to
bring tho neighboring squares in conformity
with it steps should bo taken at once to bring
tho street paving polioy Into play,
Gentlemen who seem to understand the
situation thoroughly say that to bring the
square on Main street, between Centre and
Lloyd, will require the cutting down of tho
street more than two feet, and in some places
more than four feet. Tho samo Is said of
West Centre street to West. Anyone who
has the remotest Idea of tho cost of street
work will readily 6eo that tho most economi
cal plan for all parties concerned will bo to
prepare to pave and grade at tho samo time.
X (til events it is hoped that tho Main
street paving project now nudor considera
tion will be put on foot at an early date and
tefore bad weather steps in to delay it.

Saturday night Constable Tally Phillips
went to Girardvillo to arrest a Hungarian on
a charge of falso pretense. When he reached
tho house where the man was he was met by
a gang who declared they would not allow
him to make an arrest. Phillips heard ono
of the men tell a woman to run a butcher
knifo into him and ho dusted amid a shower
of stones and otherniissiles. Phillips return
ed to tho house with assistance and arrested
nine men, including tho one he first sought.
Eight of them were put under bail to answer
a charge of interference with an officer.

spontanity of his mirth. His histrionic

which pieces of lead pipe and other ugly

men took part in it and some of them wero
pretty badly used. Jacoby and Lloyd, tho
