With the garbage incinerator on Route 51' doomed when the road is widened, council approved a year’s contract with Ambridge for disposal of garbage and tin cans. Four test loads of mixed garbage and cans were burned'and found -to be acceptable. The round trip to Ambridge takes a little more time than the trip to Sewickley’s incinerator, but Mr. Guy recommended the purchase of a larger collection truck. A suggestion was also made by the garbage committee that the borough find an additional place to get rid of rubbish, especially yard and garden rubbish. The committee was asked to look into the situation.
Mr. Guy reported that several serious stoppages in the sanitary sewer system have been corrected. Ho also recommended that the borough removp the 100-foot section of large sanitary sewer laid inside Hoey’s Run and place' it outside where it can bo serviced on its own. The sewer recently developed a new break and it was necessary to make repairs inside the Hoey’s Run storm sewer. The heavy rains recently were carried away from the business district without flooding and Mr. Guy says that Hoey’s Run sewer has sufficient capacity to carry large volumes of storm, water. Flooding problems in the past were partially due to back up in catch basins, which have been closed.
The underground wiring system for the trafile lights on the boulevard at River Avenue and at the Bridge approach has deteriorated to such an extent that a serious breakdown may occur at any time, Mr, Guy reported.

Four poles will be needed to install an overhead wiring system and permission needed from Duquesne Light to use two of their poles. The cost will be about $2,000, Mr, Guy estimated.
