SEWICKEY, PA., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1905
No. 4
The Garbage Furnace
Will Be Erected Soon.
The Water Works Site Was Chosen as Being the Most Suitable.
The regular meeting of council
was held on Tuesday evening.
Those present were President
Frank Straw, Messrs. J. G. Ghaplin,
Thomas Woods, R. R. Brown, F.
G. Paulson, W. E. Patton and Glerk
B. Scott McFarland. Minutes of
the last regular, and of the special
meeting were read and accepted.
The question of advertising the
sale of $40,000 worth of bonds,
was discussed, and it was decided
to defer this additional expense, for
the present.
A report from the street committee was to the effect that street
matters were in good shape, except
as, to the Boggs entrance, ^ at the
head of Division street. Here
there was continued •friction, and
not a little "kicking."..; Police matters were reported as .rather quiet.
The ,sidewalk committee was authorized to put down a cement sidewalk on the property of Mr.- Gharles
Atwell. The fire committee reported progress in some minor details. There was nothing of general
interest in the report of the light
committee, except the replacing of
the street lights on Bank street.
■ Mr. Paulson, who has given time
and attention to the garbage furnace
site question, stated that the committee, acting on authority of the
recent ordinance, had taken steps
to secure  the desired site.   The
Gibbs place was examined, and as
Mr. W. Gibbs objected decidedly,
.'that site was abandoned,
■■   As to the   Way property,  Mr.
'Way declined to sell, and stated:
that his property was too valuable.
His   attention was  called to the,
fact that Edgeworth would join ini
the matter* but he still declined to;
part with any of his land for a site]
Subsequently it was found that the!
Water Commission was unanimous
ly in favor of the Water Works
place. The distance through
streets to the Gibbs and the Way
places was another objection, as
well as high water from the river.
The committee decided in favor of
the Water Works site and the furnace will be built there, and so
conducted as to create no nuisance.
This work can not be done until
right of way is obtained for pipes
and access. This site is at the
pumping station and near the McMillen lumber yards. The water
entering the reservoir from the
center of the river, will be in no
way affected by the proximity of
this garbage site.
Among miscellaneous .business
a motion prevailed for the establishment of a grade on Gochran
street, and a letter was read from
Mr. Chambers Miller, agreeing to
pay for the grading of Davis lane,
which is an extension of Hill street.
On motion an ordinance for the
work passed second reading.
After ordering the payment of
certain bills, the chief of police reported some disorder, which was
quelled, and the finding of a speak
easy just outside the borough
limits. This was left to county
authorities; v
Adjourned.

Mr. John W. Downing has purchased the grocery business pf.
Jones & Simon, in the Dickson
block, on Walnut street. Mr. Downing tootc charge on the first of the
month.. It is his intention to give!
his patrons a fine selection of staple
and fancy goods, and if you want!
prompt' and courteous treatment
and reasonable prices he can ac-j
commodate you, '
