Councilman M. A. Drake said it was not a question of the willingness of Council but a question of finding the National Pharmacy Week OCTOBER 11th TO 17th During this week we wish to bring to the attention of our rpatrons the Professional side of our work, and the fact that The city of Franklin is to give 2,000 toward the estimated $4,541.80 cost of constructing a sidewalk along the left-hand side of Rocky Grove avenue going from Coefield's cornef to Cedar street (at the site of the old brewery) and on the right-hand side, thence to the lower gate of the Franklin cemetery. This was unanimously voted by City Council on Thursday evening after a second conference with the road supervisors of Sugarcreek township and with City Controller James G. Crawford with regard to the available city funds.

The particular interest of the city in the sidewalk arises from the fact that it owns property, donated some years ago by Hon. Joseph C. Sibley, along the avenue from Coefield's corner for a long distance, and this fact appealed strongly to Council, as well as the further fact that the splendid pavement extending to and beyond the city cemetery cost the city not a penny, having been built by the county and by the straining of Sugarcreek township's resources to the limit. The money was voted on condition that the walk be six feet wide and be built from Coefield's corner to the cemetery gate. O.

D. Bleakley and Charles H. Sheasley, who own property along a portion of the highway, have agreed to give a thousand dollars, which is considerably in excess of the $937 which is their proportionate share, and an effort will toe made to secure the remainder by public subscription. A mass meeting will be called at an early date in Rocky Grove to consider the matter. It is planned to advertise for bids without waiting for this meeting, however, and to get the work done this season if possible.

The walk is to be built of concrete. Township Supervisors Present. All three of the Sugarcreek township supervisors, Messrs. McElhaney, Baker and Parker, appeared at the meeting of Council and aH members of that body were present. Mr.

Baker, acting as spokesman, asked what the city was willing to give toward the project. He gave the engineer's estimate of as the cost of a six-foot sidewalk along the Monkey run side of the road, with necessary re -we are-quaufied matters scientific as well as matters commercial.

far larger proposition to the township to sign up to pay 50 per wt. of the cost of the road. "We went the limit, gentlemen," he said. "We could not have gone another nickel." "It is your cemetery," he added, "more than it. is ours," Mr.

Baker endorsed what Mr. McElhaney said. Councilmon Favorable. Council men Thompson, Wilson and Lundager all expressed opinions favorable to the city's doing its share. Mr.

Drake thereupon, to show that the city is interested and willing to do its share, made the motion to appropriate $2,000 from the contingent fund and Mr. Wilson seconded it. The supervisors expressed their thanks when the motion passed by unanimous vote and declared the donation a very liberal one. They believe there is no question that the remainder of the needed money will be raised. The need of a sidewalk where this one is to be built is everywhere recognized, and officials are daily in fear that an accident will occur yet before it can be Tuilt.

The cost of boxing in the run and placing the walk on top, biles. a project that is on all hands regarded as the most desirable, would be which it was agreed is out of the quest ion at this time. Mr.

Baker, proceeding, gave the estimated cost of the walk on the other side of the road, next the hill, as CM.30 up to Cedar street. This will include 1,103 yards of excavation, at an estimated cost of $1,279.30, and a The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture regularly issues a bulletin of on Rjihieets of interest par comparatively slight retaining wall construction at an estimated or $000.
