COUNQL DISCUSSES MANY BHi PROBLEMS
.Alt the counellmen'- of town were present at a meeting of town council on Monday night. The ses¬ sion lasted until nearly 11 o'clock and a great deal ot miscellaneous buslnoas was cleansd up.
Tho Bsrret Company was per¬ mitted to rent tbe road roller to get atoam to heat a car ot tar. at a dally rtatal ot $15.
The matter ot tbo Nauiretb Foundry pumping water from Its bulldlag OTor tho 8UU Highway ot tho soatb oad of town wn* tak¬ en up again, and It was decldod that members of council Investi¬ gate and determine the best course to pursue in avoiding this condi¬ tion which becomes decidedly daa- gerous in winter. The explana¬ tion that the water is drainage water from upper sections of the town, as made in a letter from the company was discussed and tt la not thought that this explanation la the correct one, as it ia said that the water emanates from a spring in the cellar of the building.
Permission was granted for a marquee over the sideaalk In front of the Royal Theatre on Main street. This was done since there is no ordinance on the bor¬ ough books prohibiting such a structure.
Robert Siegfried, chai.'nian of the pavement coniinittee. reported that lie and other memliers of the lominittee liad inspected the side- wallis in parts ot the town and re¬ ported about a dozen wiiich were iu very liad condition. It was iiiiaiiiiiiously voted to notify tiie (iwners of the properties to repair or reliuild these sidewalks at once.
Tiie school board requested that a light be pluced in front of the new high school building and council approved this, directing the light committee to determine tlie exact location.
Sixty-day loan of 12000 waa au¬ thorized to take care of current bills until taxes are received.
Chairman Lindenmoyer of the flre committee reported that the hose on the chemical engine le worn out and a new one is needed. He also suggested that a reel be secured instead of having the hose rolled up in a metal basket. His committee was authorized to make the necessary purchases.
Morris F'rable was authorized to repair the iron fence in the circle. the post knocked off and other damage done by a reckless driver several weeks ago. The borough has the bond of the driver to pay the cost of making such repairs.
Thero was a lengthy discussion ot roud conditions in the town. Work has been started on patch¬ ing South Main street, and there wus bitter complaint also about tlie condition on North Main street, Mauch Chunk atreet and other streets In various places. The supervisor will make the re- puirs us rapidly as ho can get his force around the town.
Chief Burgess Ziegler asked thut an ordinance be passed im¬ posing a flne of at least 1100 for disorderly conduct to take core of infractions of the drunken driver rules. He nrgued that other bor¬ oughs and cities are doing this nnd told of difficulties encountered in getting court convictions. Solici¬ tor Kutz disagreed with him and there was a long discussion. How¬ ever, council will consider tbe question which will probably be brought up at the next meeting.

COUNCIL FAILS IDSIiBiOAl ST.CONTIUII
"i There is apparently a mlsuS^P*
standing in Nacareth's proposittair for paying its share of construe* tion costs for the opening aad paving of North Broad street, trom Center street to the borough Uae, bids for which were received st Harrisburg over a a-eek ago. The original plan called for the open- ing of the street beyond High street only wide enough tor the IS-foot paving, but later the Nas¬ areth council decided to open It to the full width of tbe street, and the State Highway Department through Engineer C. H. Bucklas. of the At len toa* n office, agreed that tlie borough waa to pay tor the extra cost at the price of the dif¬ ference between the coat ot tbe excavation and the cost ot tke "borrow" or nil which will be used.
This means In effect tkat tka contractor Is to charge Nasareth for the cost of the eieavatlaa (which sccording to eetlssate would be about tl.76 per e.B%lc yard) and is to bay this material from the borough tor lllinc la low parts at a price estimated at 11.10 per cubic yard, msklav tke aat cost to the borough for tke easa- vatton which provides aistarlal lar borrow, at 25 cents per caMe yarC
contract which the State Hlskfray Department sent to Nasaretk to sign, the borough is being ckargad tbe full price of 11.75 per eakie yard for excavation, and aotklac at ail is said about Nasarsth get¬ ting any remuneration tor tkf borrow.
Councilman Harley P. Yeisley, who hae acted aa contact auta be¬ tween the borough and the Stato Highway Department In this pro¬ ject called this diocrepency to the attention of council and the agree¬ ment was handed to him and he wiil confer with Engineer Buckius to try to have it adjusted.
This wilt no doubt mean some delay in awarding the contract for this improvement. Tbe state high¬ way department advised the bor¬ ough of the bid which was $44,- 14t), submitted by the Juinata Company. This was the lowest bid and the state highway department announced its intention of award¬ ing the contract to this company if agreeable to the 'lorough, urging the proper officials to sign the agreement iirnmiitly and return it SI) the contract can be formally awarded. However, the ofBclais do not expect to sign it In its present form which calls for an expenditure on the part of the horough of an estimated amount of $12,490.10.
How much the borough will H9VO by having the agreement c'langed to conform to the agree¬ ment made with Engineer Buck¬ ius. is not known and this will have to be worked out carefully by the state highway engineers and estimators.
At the same time the atate high¬ way department sent an ordinance to Nazareth which it asked to have passed. This provides by ordin¬ ance what had previously been provided for by resolution and calls for the added conatruetlon which Nazareth decided on In opening the street to its full width. Tbe original ordinance only pro¬ vided for the opening for the 19- toot paving but the state wants the entire work covered by ordi¬ nance rather than by resolution. Atter some discussion and atter receiving the approval ot Borough Solicitor H. D. Kuts, the rales were suspended and the new ordi¬ nance was passed on flrst sad sse* OLd readings. It will be passed ky final reading st the nest laeettaff cf council.
