Total $35,000.00We wil l b e g la d t o d is cu ss a ll o f t hedetailed items by which these amountswere determined with the members ofC ounc il a nd we s ha ll very much appreciate the interested advice and comments which any councilman may careto make on the 1927 highway program as we have out li ned i t.In accordance wit h t he authoritygranted at the November J'!1eeting, t.hisc ommi tt ee s ec ur ed a w rI tt en r ulmgf rom t he bor ough solicitor, indicatingthat the borough would be enti rely ins ide all re as ona ble legal a nd mor alrights if i t should connect i ts i nl et att he cor ne r o f Fo rr es t a nd Haver fo rdavenues w ith the o ld 12- inch sewerp ip e in th e b ed of Haverford avenue.Therefore, on December 1 the chairman o f t hi s c ommi tt ee n ot if ie d allabutting property owners that this connec ti on wou ld be made on January 1and warned them to take whatever precaution seemed to t he m to be necessary in o rder t o prevent water frombacking up t ~ r o u g h any c o n n e ~ t i o n swhich they mIght have f rom the Ir cel l ar s i nt o t he o ld 1 2- in ch sewer pipe.Mr. Robert J. Nash has written aformal pro te st agains t t hi s p roposedprocedure and has indicated that hewould hol d t he borough responsiblefor any water damage which might develop in the basement of h is p rope rt yat. the corner of Forrest and Haverfordavenues. We have eve ry r ea son to bel ieve ' that Mr. Nash ' s property a t tha tpoint is not connected with the old12-inch sewer pipe at all.. Last Friday evening Mr. Ralph S.Dunne representing the Merchants'A S 5 0 c i ~ t i o n , appeared before the committee 'meeting of Council to protest:in the name of other property owners.against this conl lection and to urge theborough to l ay an entirely llew surfa.cewater drain pipe throughout the enUrebusiness section of Haverford avenueinstead of making c o n n e c . t i ~ n , with t ~ old 12-inch pipe. There IS mcluded IIIour budget estimate a n i tem of approximately $4000 for a surface .watersewer on Haverford avenue. It IS ourrecommendation that if this proposalis included in the 1927 budget, the connec ti on w ith the o ld 12- inch sewermight be postpone.l without serious injury to the publ' c interest . It wouldbe our. understanding, however , thatthis postponement was not to be interpreted in any way as an abrogationof the borough's right to connect withthe 12-inch sewer pipe whenever i t sawfit nor of the possibility of making useot'the o ld 12- inch sewer p ipe as a par tof a complete system of surface waterdrainage' for ' the business district.On December 4 b il ls f or the recentresurfacing of Wynnedale avenue weresent out to the abutting property owners. The t ot al cost o f t hi s' wor.kamounted to $2,8\l3.34. of which the 70per cent. to be' paid by the boroughamounts to $1.976.27 and' the 30 percent . to bcpaid by .the property owners amounts to $847.07. From the borough's amount can be subtracted the$500 previously contributed' fo r t ha tpurpose by Mr .: A . C.
