Sheldon gave notice of the introduction of ordinances for the grading and paving of Central avenue from College street to a point 300 feet north of Pitt street, and for the grading and paving of Ridge avenue from its intersection with Ridge avenue north to the borough line. The matter of adjusting the grade in Central avenue was referred to the street committee for action. Treasurer's Report The report of John T. McNary, borough treasurer, for the month ending March 31 was presented.

No attempt will be made for the present to operate the mines of the independent operators on a non-union basis. It was generally believed that when the independent operators met they would agree to sign the 1903 wage scale on account of the Pittsburg Coal company and its subsidiary concerns agreeing to that scale.
