An ordinance authorized 6300 dollars in bonds for street improvements and Kerrs Run repairs, and 7000 dollars in refunding bonds at six percent.

Discussion covered street repairs funding, a 2800 dollar certificate of indebtedness, and private sewer hookup on Laurel street. The street car line conditions and open pavement beside Kerrs Run drew action for the street committee and the street commissioner.
