A proposal was presented by
John Melhorn in map-form of
an area southwest of Marietta

and building lots. His plan cal
led for a street connecting Mar
ietta Avenue and Pinkerton
Road named Richland Avenue;
two further proposed streets

posed Oak Lane and Marietta

School Lanz. No action was ta-
ken by Council since the pro-
posal will first be presented to
the Zoning Commission for ap
proval.
An informal p~tition was pre
sented by ten residents along
Pinkerton Road seeking annox-
ation to the borough. No action
was taken by council but the
cecretary was instructed to re-
turn the petition to the writers
and ask them to submit other
necessary documents for consid
eration:
Complaints were aired con-
cerning the property of Mr.

corning the debris in and a

Sewer Plans Near
Completion; Will Go
To State In Month.
Working according to sched-
ule, Engineer Joseph A. Mich-
aels announced that plans for
both the sewerage system and
disposal plant will be sent to
Harrisburg for approval within
the month.
The announcement was made
at the regular monthly meeting
Tuesday night in the office of
the Gerberich-Payne Shoe Co.
When the plans arrive in Har-
risburg this month, they will
probably remain in the hands
of the state department for one
to two months. Since the fiscal
agents, C. C. Collings and Com-
pany, Inc., of Philadelphia, an-
nounced that they will be ready
as soon as the state approves
the engineering plans, the sys-
tem may be started during the
winter season.
Advancements have been
made in the water system.
Within the last month, a new
bulk head has been placed on
the “lead race” at the Water
Works. Prior to the new instal-
lation, the water leaked thru
the dam during the night.
New mains were laid on Park
Avenue and High Streets. The
dead end the Park Avenue
main was corrected. Valves and
a new fire hydrant were instal-
led on High Street.
Next month the authority will
be ready to advertise for bids
for the laying of a twelve-inch
main across the Lumber Street
railroad bridge.
