[ informed and Greeuwoud avcuue are sioued aud partially rolled. Wcrk lias beeu started on Butler aveuue from Liudeuwold avenue to York street. The stoue wall from Kose Valley creek bridge aloug Mrs. Hart's line to Mr. Heckler's pro¬ perties is comploted. filled iu at the back aud the gutter exteuded tu ilie creek. Work will shonly be commeuo¬ ed on Liudeuwold aveuue. The gutter stones are oue-third relaid. .\11 the property owners ou this btteet, except two, Messrs. Lougsireth- aud Martiu, have agrf ed to relay gutters. Mr. Mar¬ tin's gntter stoues are badly brokeu. Regarding tbe projecterl wall on Mrs. Hart's property, along the north side pf Bntlei aveuue, Mr. Rose slated he believes it to be the general feeling of council that a till ot earth to retain tbe citrb, sidewalk and street wonld be better,- The wall will cost abont $500, and it is felc that Mrs, Hart, from pnrely sentimental reasons, is putting the borongh at this expeuse. 'Vei. ou Forest avenue, the borongh has re¬ frained from doing ueedful gratiing (hereon to accommodate her. The drive¬ way from her property to the street is too high,allowing water to wash one and across the street, thus tearing away the surface If council insists the gutter here wonld have to be rebnilt aud driveway graded dowu and recou- strucied.
Dr. Fine, of the finance committee, reported the boud of Wm. O. Evans, road coutractor, in the sum of lao,018, given by the United Security company, of Baltimore, Md, Security was ac¬ cepted by conncil.

Regarding the responsibility for the relayiug of gutters on Liudeuwold avenne the solicitor ruled that if stones i had beeu laid to the proper grade and are in perfeot conditiou the borough canuot compel property owners to re¬ lay same, bnt if the stoues are brokeu aud iu bad condition all that is legally necessary is for the borough to notify owners. Council theu instructed the highway comnnittee to take uecessary aotiou iu this case

A meeting of the Wissaliickou Fire company. No. 1, of Ambler, was held Friday eveuiug iu the regular place of assembly iu .-iiubler und final arrange ments were made for the holding of the f,'raud fair, which.opeued Tuesday evening on the third floor of tlie opera Iiouse bnildiug, and svhicli gives every indication of bpiug successful. The proceeds will be devoted to pur¬ chasiug a chemical fire engiue, which will be found invaluable to the com¬ pauy aud which will greatly add to theeflicieucy of the fire department, especially for svork outside the borough and away from existing ivater sup¬ plies. It is reported this apparatus will cost about *l.SOO,and it is the idea to devote all the proceeds of the fair to this purpose. As this is a very worthy object, it behooves property owuers aud citizens uot only ot the borough buc also of the district sur¬ rounding Ambler to offer every reason¬ able help to make the fair snccessful so this apparatns may be secured at once, thereby rendering more secure projierty at Broad Axe, Peullyu, Fort Washington, Three Tuns, Maplo Glen and other nearby poiuts, where there is at preseut no orgauized lire company nor water supply, A pair of horses is always at the service of the com¬ pany, aud by meaus of the telephone instant communicatiou may be had with the department if service is need-" ed,and the fact that the local company aims to extend iis usefulness to the surronuding districts should lesulc iu donations aud assistance of substautial character to aid this worthy cause.
The company, which was organized 18 years ago. is now on a most busi- ubss-lifee aud substautial basis, fully orgauized and harmoniously working, being ably assisted by many of the bnsiness men of Ambler and vioinity. besides beiug recoguized aud assisted by Ambler borougii conuoil. The finances are iu a healthy coudition,and the apparatus in the dep'artoient is look¬ ed after by competent meu and is au up-to-date ilesigu and Ihoroughly moderu.
