The activities of these early officers are re- corded for all times in the Ordinance Books of the Borough. For a period of seven years after 1894 our streets remained, as in the days of the town- ship, coated with mud in winter and with dust in summer. The luxury of a paved street was unknown until the year 1901. This year brought us street cars and a paved street, for Council, in granting a right-of-way over Broadway, required its being paved with brick by the Railways Company. Following the paving of Broadway, other streets were one by one lifted out of the mud until at the present time practically all of our streets and alleys have been permanently im- proved. To set forth all things that would be of in- terest to our readers would require more than our alloted pages. ln this history we have tried to trace the progress of our Borough from its earliest period to the present time. XVe have seen it grow from a single log cabin in the wilderness, harrassed by the Indians, to a well-governed industrial community, the home town of more than 6,000 men, women and children. We deem it fitting and proper to close our history with a list of tl1e names of those men who, from the beginning to the present day, have guided the government of our Borough, as Councilmen, Burgesses and Borough secre- taries. Each of these men in his own way has contributed, by their time and talents, much of value toward the general welfare and ad- vancement of their home town. Many of these names have faded into obliv- ian with the passing of the years, but their good works still remain though their names be forgotten. Burgesses: N.
