Sewiekley Sounding Out Adjoining Boroughs
Council President Says “We .Can't Stand Idly By” and Let Odors Continue
Sewicldey council, at its regular meeting on Monday, April 20th, were informed that Sewicldey council has written and made calls to the County Health Department and to the head of the firm said to be responsible, but the noxious odors still permeate the atmosphere at frequent intervals. It’s serious and some action will have to be taken to eliminate the odors.
The odors have affected the population of the community, some corporation officials, transferred to Pittsburgh, came here to reside, smelled the odor, saw the dirt and settled elsewhere. Apartment dwellers are not renewing their leases. J. & L. is spending millions on electric precipitators to remove air-borne dust from the smoke from their boiler house, but the odor keeps coining from up the river. President Ritchey said council can’t stand idly by and legar recourse seems to be the only way to get results.	,
Borough Manager Fred Guy, at a manager’s meeting, was requested to find if councils of the boroughs from Pittsburgh west through the Valley might be interested in cooperating in joint legal action.

'Squire Guilot was at work at die time and his wife was visiting a relative. Hie 'squire cheeked over his informations to see if any had been removed from tlie files when his desk was ransacked.

Ho added that about $100 of the loot was in his desk and the remainder was money his wife had been saving for a vacation.
There’s no use coming back, he advised the burglar, for there won't be any money diere the next time and the records are kept in triplicate, so it would do no good to. remove his copy.
