borough aad sewer company get together and erect a larger aad more modera plant to diepoee of the. Under the present condition* the company claim* that It cannot comply with the order nnl«*e all the people connect.
During tbe meeting it was brought out where a number ot un- s.anitary conditions existed which could be remedied if sewer con¬ nections were made compulsory. The State Health authorities have informed the sewer company that the Borough Council has the pow¬ er to compel residents to connect their homee with the sewers. The State when giving permission to the sewer company to construct its original line* nearly fifteen years ago, did so through the borough, making   the   borough   responsible
aeeeeeary aetloa. If th ordiaaaee la' paeeed the eadipany will eever North Maia etreei oad the weet end of town paylag for the llnee and inetelliag a larger aad much more adequate di*po*al plaat. which in addition tb hand¬ ling all tb* new *ow*rage could alee handle about eerenty per ceat. ot that aow taken care ot by the old plant which would be *at- lafactory if a mnaller amouat of sewerage were treated there.
Orerturee were made to Council that tbe borough take over the sewer system at any time it so de¬ sired at a legltmate price which would probably reach the 8400,000 mark upon appraisal. At present a survey of the borough Is being made to plan for the new section of the system and the company is anxious to get started as soon as possible In order that they can get their lines and laterals in before work of street Improvement is be¬ gun. They are especially anxious tl) complete the work on North Main street which greatly needs an over hauling even If the contem¬ plated plans for paving should fall t'l go through.

At this point of the meeting Mr. Sil¬ fies relinquished the presidency, and secretary A. Hoch continued the meeting aa acting president.
Rev. Hill then made the addre** of welcome in a very unique man¬ ner. The orchestra offered an¬ other special selection followed by reading the treasurer's report by acting treasurer, William Hoch, of Bath, after which all preseat united in elnging—"Come, Thou Almighty King." Ten minute ad¬ dresses were tben In order and responsee were made by Trumaa M. Blttenbender, ot Hecktown, and Robsrt Silfloa, of Bethlehem.
