Mr. Titzel, representing the trol-
ley company, appeared before coun
cil and made the following propo-
sition: If council will permit the
company to come in Delta and
thence west on Marietta and Done-
gal streets, they would finish ma-
cadamizing Delta street or would
pay the borough $1,000.00 for the
privilege. Brown, ILongenecker
Hamaker and Detwiler objected as
the east end would be cut out en-
tirely and council adjourned with-
out taking any action on the mat-
ter. With all the regular and spe-
cial meeting, caucuses, etc., the
trolley situation is the same today
as it was a year ago. All the work
was done for naught.
