The large brick residence thereon was remodeled to provide for both .the Church and Sunday Schbol, and the first regular Service was held In May, 1923. Tills property was dedicated in January, 1935. During tho next twenty-one years many improvements wore made to this proporty to provide for the various church activities until in 1950 it became necessary to enlarge the Sunday School. “After due deliberation the membership decided to build a new church building and to tear down the (Continued on Page 0) New Church Building Dedicated On Sunday The Dedication Service of the attractive new colonial style First Church of Christ, Scientist, 222 Beaver Street, was hold on Sunday, at both the 11 o’clock service and a special 3:30 o’clock service, Tho following historical sketch was presented as a part of the dedication: “In March, 1915, seventeen members of the Mother Church or of branch churches who had been meeting together, organized the Christian Scionco Society of Sewickley, “Tho first service was held on the second floor of what was then the ‘Book Shop’ at the corner of Beaver and Little streets on April 0, 1913» and the first Sunday School was held tliero two weeks later, After ten ac-Hvo years, in 1923, die Society made Zoning Raised To $500 For Every Day Edgeworth Council Amends Sub-Division Ordinance and Passes Wage Tax At Same Rate Edgeworth council, at its regular meeting Monday,^ passed an ordinance amending the sub-division ordinance providing that each day of violation will be punishable by a $500 fine, instead of just one $500 fine for each violation. A copy of the new ordinance and a copy of the sub-division ordinance will be sent to all real estate agents in the Valley and surrounding towns, so that they cannot plead ignorance of the ordinances. Council also passed an ordinance re-enacting"the wage tax at the same rate'as last year and still another ordinance rescinding the $380,000 remaining of the original $520,000 bond issue for the sewage disposal system. $140,000 was spent as a capital improvement • contribution to „ the sewage system and the remainder; $380,000, was authorized, but bonds had never been issued. In order to clear the record, council passed the ordinance rescinding the authority to use the remaining $380,000 in bonds, which are restricted to sewage system 'only. In case of emergency, the borough still has sufficient borrowing power to borrow about half a million dollars. A resolution wasv passed appointing Borough Manager Robert E. Lunn to the additional post of wage tax collector for 1903. Mr. Lunn reported that the borough had received an additional $1,100 from the State as a refund of gasoline taxes to be used to finance jfthe repair of streets. The state has finally paid the final 20% which had been held, out for some years and spent for other purposes. Efforts of the Allegheny County and State Boroughs associations finally persuaded the state to pay the gas tax refund in full. Councilman Standish reported that he and Solicitor Rose had attended a meeting of the Leetsdale Municipal Authority regarding the right-of-way the authority wants under the culvert through which tire Little Sewickley Greek flows under the boulevard, and railroad. The Leetsdale Authority wants to lay a sewer line under the roadway which Edgeworth uses to get to and from its dump property; The Authority wanted to lay the sewer line without a concrete saddle, hut were warned that the creek would probably wash it out. Since the Edgeworth Municipal Authority is. planning to lay a 0-inch Water main under the culvert, also most of the surface of the roadway would be disturbed and the likelihood of washout would be even greater. The Authority engineers estimated the cost 'of a retaining wall at $7,000 and concreting the 190-foot roadway 15 feet wide, at $3,000. Leetsdale Authority said it would share the cost, not to exceed $1,500 and authorized Solicitor William Colbert-to negotiate with the Edgeworth borough. Manager Lunn said that his estimate of the cost of installing an 8-ineh concrete pavement under the culvert was about $3,000 and said the wall wasn’t needed, since the railroad ties now forming a culvert have lasted for years. Mr. Lunn was requested to check with Mr. Colbert and report back at a special meeting to be held some Saturday morning. Tiro budget will bo discussed at the samo committee meeting, Another right-of-way, one deeded to the borough by the Boron Oil Company, in tiro driveway to_ tho Edge-worth Station, was also discussed. Boron gave tho borough more right-of-way than tho borough asked for, but only ns long as the Edgeworth station is in use, Council decided to havo a survoy made to determino tho exact location of tho lino dividing the commercial and residential areas, Then, that information is to be placed in tho deed and'an agreement with Boron Oil Company as well ns being added to the Zoning Ordinance by way of amendment. * Police ^reported no automobilo ac- cidents during September. There were two fire alarms, at 1:10 p.m. op October 18th, when an upholstered chair was discovered on fire at the Joel Hunter residence on Way Hollow Road. The chair was removed from the house. On October 24th, at 9:25 a.m., David Kennedy, 1213 First St;, Conway, driving a truck on Beaver Street in front of the borough building, requested assistance as his truck was smoking. The hand brake hadn’t been released, causing it to expel considerable smoke. Thirty-nine requests for police service were answered and 47 arrests were made, 40 for speeding. Justice of the Peace Huntzinger collected $470 in fines for the borough and $10 for the state. 1902 .property taxes in the amount of $1,-238 were- collected, leaving a balance of $9,100 to be collected. The bank balance was reported as $81,459, better than the same time a year ago.
