PLANNIN6 FBIIMOREPROJECTS
Coancfl Going Canning Far Federal
Faads For Straet Improvement
New that many millions of dollars will be distributed throughout
tfee nation for various' kinds of municipal improvements, the local authorities have "taken time by the
forelock aad are going after more
funds from the Federal government
with which to rebuild the streets of
our borough, which have been ripped almost from one end to the other
due to the sewer undertaking. Before this can be accomplished much
red tape will have to be cut
'The matter waa brought before
tfee borough council at a recent
meeting and was given much con
sideration. As we understand the
proposition it is proposed to make
a survey of the entire town for the
ipurpose of getting an estimate of
the cost of building street curbs ana
the construction of substantial macadam streets. The curbing will be
eighteen inches at the bottom and
taper to ahe Inches at the top. The
curbing will serve as a binder for
the macadam after it has been laid
and will be the means of holding it
in place. 1% will fee a WPA undertaking and the funds obtained from
this source will be used for the
work, while the (property owner will
be required to pay for the material
entering into the project according
to Ms frontage. The approximate
cost to the property owner will be
ascertained before the Job is started.
Tbe matter of curbing the streets
of the borough fat commendable, as
well as macadamizing tfee cartways.
It will be the means of bringing all
ear streets to the proper grade as
established by the borough council
a number of years ago. It may be
that some of the established grades
will have to he changed before the
work gets under way, but this is ..a
matter _for tfee
I tee beginning oT the undertak
lag tfee leeal authorities should ascertain Bear- about the expense that
will be placed on tfee property owners. We all desire municipal improvements, yet there is a limit to
tfee ability of the property owner to
pay the amount that may be assessed for the purpose.
