Rescinds Contract With D. J.
Lynch and Street Committee
Ordered To Do the Work
CITES COUNCIL TO COURT
Town Council has decided to under-take
the griding of Second and Third
avenues Itself. The Htr.it committee
was instructed, at the regular meet-ing,
Wednesday evening, to employ
men and teams and go ahead with the
work and have It completed as soon as
possihie. Council came t<> this deci-sion
after much debate on the sub-ject.
The contract for the work wan
awarded to I >. J. Lynch, of this bor-ough,
at a price of $5300. Work was
to have started April I and he complet-ed
not later than August 1. According
to the estimates given Council, less
than IS per cent, of the work Is done.
Mr. Lynch was ordered to quit work
when it was found he did DOl carry
compensation insurance for bis work-men.
Mr. Lynch also admitted he was
unable to finance the work unless the
borough would lie Ills security for a
loan of $500. Council refused as Mr.
Lynch's own proposition, which Coun-cil
accepted in lieu of n bond, was that
he would complete 50 per cent, of the
contract and would ask no payment*
for that portion until the whole work
was completed. The 50 per cent, of
the whole contract to be the borough's
security for the completion of the
whole work.
Council rescinded the contract with
Lynch because of his default of con-tract.
Another complication in the business
haH arisen and will place the borough
to additional expense. The residents
of West Third avenue, by their repre-sentative,
Frank Cardamone, has cited
Town Council Into court to show the
reason why Third avenue has not been
opened and (traded. The complainants
claim the borough did not start the
work on April 1 and complete It by
August 1 In accordance with the order
of the court. The rule Is returnable to
court, Tuesday, September -i, at 10 A.
M.
Chairman Freas of the street com-mittee
reported that he had ordered
Lynch to stop the work on his contract
as he had failed to carry compensation
Insurance. He gave the order immed-iately
after the meeting of the special
meeting of Council in July. Mr. Freas
reported thn.t- Lynch had done work
amounting to between $700 nnd $800.
Mr. Stemple, also u member of the
street committee, Said Lynch had
asked him to report to Council that
he hnd given the Job up as men cannot
work without money.
Mr. OTlrien suggested that Lynch's
fa.lure to perform the contract was
lack of money, Council should complete
the contract Itself and 'authorise the
street committee to do the work.
Mr. Freas said It would ho a serious
Job for the borough to undertake and
the best ami safest course to pursue Is
for fhe borough to readvertlse for bids.
if the bids are too high, it would then
be time enough for the borough to un-dertake
the work.
Mr. Stemple suggested the street
committee be empowered to employ a
competent man to take charge of the
work under the supervision of the
committee.
Mr. Hamilton advised rescinding the
contract with Lynch and advertise for
new bids then it might lie possible for
Lynch to make arrangements with th»
new contractor by which he might be
uble to receive some pay for the work
he hns done.
Mr. Kelly closed rhe debate by offer-ing
the motion: "The street committee
be Instructed to complete the work."
The motion carried.
The street committee wns Instructed
to complete the grading of Second and
Third avenues. The committee will
set the rate of wages for men and
teams and will pay wages each week.
Engineer Cresson will continue to
supervise the work. Mr. Cresson had
been employed under the Lynch con-tract
and was to be paid 5 per cent,
on the contract price of $5300. An or-der
for $565 was granted in his favor.
If the completed work costs more than
$5300, Mr. Cresson will be paid 5 per
cent, on the amount in excess of
$5300.
Mr. Garret made a motion that the
Ways & Means committee be authoriz-ed
to give an order to the street com-mittee
at any time for the payment of
wages. Mr. O'Brien amended the mo-tion
substituting the finance for the
Ways .vM..ms committee and toe
motion passed as amended.
The work will now be done by the
borough. The street committee will
employ men nnd teams and supervise
the work. Tiic committee will begin
the work Immediately and push it to
completion aa rapidly ;s possible. To
do this, the borough will have to pay
the same rat* of wages as is being
paid for like work elsewhere.
Elm Street To Be Oiled.
The Street Committee reported n
hni ascertained the cost for oiling Elm
street from Maple Street to the west
borough line to be about $17.".. Mr.
Oeiger objected t» oiling the street
unless other streets were Iso treat-ed,
He said Kast Fifth avenue hasfnot
been rolled or oiled ami that the street
is badly washed, lie saiii many other
Street! are In the same condition.
Mr. Hamilton said, "because one
street is being washed, there is no use
letting all Streets become in bad re-pair."
and made a motion instructing
the street committee to have Kim
street oiled from Maple street to the
west borough line after the roadwiy
has been rolled and properly prepared,
The motion was put to a vote and
carried by the following vote: Aye:
Messrs. Kate. Freas, Carrett, Hamil-ton,
Jones, Keiiy, O'Brien, Stemple,
Smith, Williams—10. Nay: Messrs.
Gelger, Giles, Kane—3.
New Fire Plug.
Mr. Hamilton asked that the lire
plug ordered to he installed at Sixth
avenue and Maple street a year ago, lie
placed in position and made ready for
service. Mr. Hate replied that the
Committee was endeavoring to have a
high pressure plug installed and had
taken the matter up with the water
company several times. He said the
company is about to make some chan-ges
In its mains in that section and
be believed the borough would be able
to secure ;; high pressure plug, lie
fold his committee would again take,
up the matter and have the. plug In-stalled.
Mr. Stemple spoke of the inadequate
fire protection In the Fourth ward
west from Forrest street. Mr. Smith
immediately moved that a! fire plug be
installed at Klghth avenue and Maple
street as a protection for the many
dwellings in that section. It was
shown there are several fire hydrants
In that section giving ample protec-tion
to the territory. The motion was
not seconded. Mr. Stemple said a hy-drant
at Sixth avenue and Maple street
would give good protection for a large
section.

of West Kim street asking relief
from the dust nuisance. The petition
was not acted upon as Council ordered
the oiling of the street.

was unable to sell the street
swe. per and also reported being unable
to secure a man to repair and operate

speaking on the subject of the borough
doing its own repairs of bituminous

cheaper to purchase the asphalt and
stone and make the mix. but to do
this, kettles will have to be provided,

which ho would sell to the bor-ough
for $150.
