The Edgeworth Borough Gouncil
convened in regular session Monday
evening with President Lord in the
chair. Mr. Laughlin was the only
absentee. Borough Glerk Fleming
Nevin, Solicitor Rodgers, Burgess
Russell and Street Commissioner
Buckley were also present.
After the reading of the minutes
of the previous meeting, which
were adopted as read. Mr. Brooks
of the Finance Gommittee presented a report, which was filed. It
shows the valuation of property to
be $2,600,000; this at 4 mills will
bring in a revenue of $10,000, and
as the running expense of the borough will not exceed $7,00, the
municipality has a bright future
before it.
This body is imbued with considerable civic pride, which was
demonstrated when Mr. Lloyd was
appointed a special committee to
consult Mr. Davy, a specialist on
trees, whose services are being
eagerly sought after by prominent
people of the Valley, to look after
the beautiful trees owhich line the
borough streets, which need some
care. A report will be handed in
at the next meeting.
Messrs. Updegraff and Dolan, of
the Sewickley Electric "Gompany,
were present concerning some poles
they wish to place. The matter
was talked over and finally left in
the hands of the Solicitor, who will
draw up an ordinance. Mr. Updegraff asked that the ordinance be
made in the name of the Edgeworth
Electric Company.
The matter pertaining to the
erection of the new hose house
was then taken up and Mr. Herz
appointed to supervise the work as
it progresses. Contractor Udick
will start the building in the near
future.
Solicitor Rodgers was instructed
to take up the water question with
the Leetsdale authorities. This
matter concerns the placing of a
contract with the Edgeworth Water
Gompany to supply the town with
fire hydrants. They agree to do
this for $30 a year per plug, and
maintain a pressure of seventy-five
pounds per square inch. There are
at present twenty-three plugs in
position.
Under the heading of new business, the resignation of Mr. Alex
Laughlin as a member of the Fire
and^Water Gommittee was reluctantly accepted, The president
did not fill the vacancy. Gouncil
then adjourned.
