No one will deny the statement that Main street, irom bevemh street, to . end of borough line at Cool Spring Hollow Bhould be paved. Evory spring and full the Btrcet gets In a very bad condition. It would require a large sum of money for tbe borough to pay all the expense of paving samo, and on account of a number of vacant lots along that line of street, the property owners could not likely be persuaded to pay two-third expense, as was done on the business portion of Main street and part of Jackson Btreet, and with this con dition of things the street would not ikoly be paved for years, but the town council has an opportunity of getttlng aid from the state, if the work is done in tbe spring. As is generally known the state is expending a large sum of money each year in improving the publlo highways, and next spring the state will maca damize tbe publio road from tbe bor ough line on east Cool Spring Holtow to the junction above Prescottvllle, and If the portion of Main street men tioned above is paved at that time the state will pay three-fourths of the cost of paving same with brick or macadam izing it a width of twenty-one feet. Tbe council has wisely decided that this is an opportunity Reynoldsvllle bor ough can not let pass, but to take ad vantage of It tbe bonded indebtedness of the borough will have to bo In creased, and to gfve the people a chance to vote on tbe question an election will be held February-19, 1907, at the regular spring election. An ordinance pro claiming tho election will be found in this issue of The Star. The ord inance calls for an Increase of Indebtedness In the sum of 110,000, but the councilmen do not think that It will require that sura to cover tbe expense of tbe pro posed paving, and there will not be any more bonds issued than will be neces sary, but the amount has been set at $10,000 to be on the safe side. We have no doubt but tbat this bond Issue ill be carried by a large majority. . Read tbe ordinance. School Notes.
