You have the open sewer on that hill, and there's a lot of water seeping between the rocks. Mai Hopkins, councilman, asked if it was sewage water or actual sewage.

Wozniak said he had it analyzed, and it's sewage water. Tym said, "The same problem was solved on Main street it took two weeks. The lady was getting water in her celler. She thought it was her sewer. I went next door and the water was coming down under the rocks from the North, and Uiats where the watr was running." Wozniak stated, "that excavation has been down there since Memorial Day of last year.

There's a barricade there that I've been maintaining for fourteen months. To morrow morning I'm going down and I'm going to rip all that out and it's going to be the borough's headache. And if anybody falls in, you're in for a law suit, I'm sick and tired of taking care of that." McGrath reported that William Steiner and Wes Tasman of the Soil Conservation Service met with borough manager Heacock and himself to discuss cleaning the Shenandoah Creek. Steiner said he would report it to the district Manager. The sewer job at Coal and Vine streets was completed by By CAROL KLINE Shenandoah Sewer Administrator Joseph McGrath advised borough council on Monday that a long-existing problem at White and Cherry streets, near the Lehigh Valley Railroad, has been corrected, but citizen Mike Wozniak, who has property below the railroad disagreed.

"I just want council to know that sewage is still coming into my garage," said Wozniak. "The purpose of that job at White and Cherry streets was to eliminate this, but it's not eliminated. Anybody is welcome to see it. It's coming in since March of 1974. I think that's long enough." John Tym commented, "My Kay Marlene Baugher, Port Carbon and Dale Wesley Sitler.

Council said they will do what they can on all three requests. Council agreed to accept a bid to pave Cleveland street In Turkey Run by Carbon Equipment Company of Port Carbon, for $2,401.60.

Also approved was a motion to purchase 100 directional signs. Fire equipment was accepted from Solt of Lehighton for the low bid of $9,122.10. Hopkins and William Krash opposed the action to seek state approval for plans to relocate the police department in the building next door to the new borough hall, which is also occupied by a private printing shop. Hopkins called for tabling of the plans, saying he'd sooner have council meet in that building and let the police have the present borough quarters. Mayor Joseph Marone said he would not comment because he was not consulted when the building was first acquired.

Hopkins said he is sorry now that it was acquired. Voting to send the plans for state approval were Reese, Honus, Pelsinski. Absent were Popalis and Grodzki.

Citizen Barbara Thurs asked what she has to do to get council to fill two large pot holes in the 400 block of East Arlington street.

She said she paid over $300 to have her car painted and it's being damaged every time she hits one of the holes. Another complaint was that the street sweeper never comes down her street, which needs a cleaning. She asked council to consider removing the "no picnicking" signs at Girard Park.

MARY'S CEREMONIES Special ceremonies marked the opening of the bicentennial at masses in St. Mary's Church celebrated by Rev.

Joseph D. Forgotch. Children dressed in bicentennial outfits participated in the services. The offertory processions had boys and girls carrying gifts, an American flag and a bouquet of pink roses. At the thanksgiving of the Mass, John Edmondson and Jennifer Jones recited a prayer of Thanksgiving and asked the Blessed Mother's protection for America.

Also participating were Carl Schaaf and Gina Jones. Many of the congregation were also dressed in bicentennial outfits. The sanctuary was decorated in a red and white floral motif. Special prayers of the faithful asked for God's and His Mother's protection. The Homily theme was in keeping with the special feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Mother into Heaven, patron saint of the parish.

Some of the thoughts expressed in the homily were: "As we begin this bicentennial celebration, it is coincidental that today we also celebrate the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Mother into heaven, the patroness of our parish. Call it fate, but a little over 100 years ago the bishops of America, dedicated the United States to the Immaculate Heart of Mary; in doing so they gave America a mother. To democratic America they gave the only queen that this country would every know or accept. They gave to our land the fairest and most pure lady to be the inspiration of brave and pioneering men and women. They gave America a mother to pray to, a powerful unoi premises in Branchdale, $1.
