Regarding the water-course between Fifth and Sixth avenues above Fayetto street, your committee have purchased from Mr. Henry Traoy, Attorney for Mrs. Rlley. a strip of ground 8 ft., wide run-nlug tho full dopth from Fifth avonuo to a back alley for il3fi. By tho acquisition of this piece of land and the construction of a sewer thereon to connect with sowers owned by the borough, will Anally dispose of this troublesoms matter. We would therefore respectfully ask Oounoll to ap-prove said purchase. Referring to the Fayotte street bridge over the P. A H. R R. tracks, would say that the foot walks on this bridge are worn out and should be repaired at once. Tho borough repaired the drive way on the bridge within the last year and we thought the Railroad Company should at least repair the foot walks. We inter-viewed the Superintendent of the road In regard to tho matter and he Inforaiedyour committee that ths Railroad Company did not claim any ownership of the bridge and for that reason they had nothing whatever to do with tho repalra. Your committee requested him to say officially In writing that the Railroad Company had no claim lu the ownership of the bridge and upon receipt of such Information, tho borough would Immediately repair the bridge. The letter was received by your committee but It does not oouform to the statement made by the superintendent, but simply In a geueral way says there was an agreement exocuted In 1882 be-tween tho Turnpike Company, the Rail-road Company and the borough whereby the borough and Turnpike Company wore to keep the bridge in repair. If this Is a fact, then the whole expense of keeping the bridge In repair falls upon tho borough. We would therefore like to have authority from Council In the matter before we lu-our any expense. The necessary repairs have been hept up during this month and the streets In the borough are In fairly good oondltlon. Some attention will be given to certain streets that need repairing after the con-tracts now ou hand aro completed. might occur at any time, but the coiii|*ny refuses to do anything. Council therefore unanimously adopted the following resolution. That the Philadelphia A Readlug Rail-way i imi;iaiiy be uotlflod to repair the footways ou the Fayette street bridge over their traoks within ten days from date of Humiliation. The Pavement Committee on motion of Mr. Ross, was Instructed to go ahead aud force the repairing of all imvomonts In the borough that need It. Ou motion of Mr. Jones the action of the Street Committee In buying a narrow trip of ground from Mis. Rlley for a water course was approved. On motion of Mr. Murphy the solicitor was directed to Ale a lion against a prop-erty ou Elm streot where the borough had placed a gutter. On motion of Mr. Ross tho Street Com-mittee was directed to present at the next meeting an ordluanoe requiring the curb-ing, guttering and paving of tho proper-ties on Cherry streot from Elm to Wash-ington. Mr. Campbell wanted council to place 18 inch North River crossing stones on Elm street at Cherry and Poplar. The street oonimltteo had made arrangements to place Coushohooken stones at those points. After much discussion the motion was lost by a vote of 4 to 8, Messrs. Bate, Campbell. Stemple and Cavanagh voting In Its favor. A bill from the Coushohocksn Water Company was presented to Council for $005.03, water rent from March 1, to December 1. 1898. This council rofasod to pay, and on mo-tion of Mr. Collins the Police Committee was digested to got u bill from the com-pany for the water used at the Are of John Wood Jr's boiler woiks.

After the reading of tho report Mr. Murphy read a letter from Mr. Tomllson, the superintendent of the company, that simply domed the oompany's responsi-bility for tho repairing of the footways. ■r Ross stated that ho was borough solicitor at tho time tho bridge was built, and that If he remembers correctly no agreement was mado relieving tho railroad company from keeping the bridge In re-pair. Mr. Murphy said the company was not treating the borough fair In this and other matters. In fact the company refused to do anything at all In this borough that le asked for by Council. He cited the case of the nood of a fenoe along the wall on Washington street below Fayetto. One accident hr ened there and another $8084 57 The following Is the report of the PoUce Committee.
