Montrose – At a special meeting of the Boro Council, the matter of paving Public avenue was given the chief consideration. It is proposed to pave this main business section the coming summer, as it can be done more economically when the paving is being done on the stretch now underway between the Ballantine farm, near Dimock, and the Montrose Borough line.  The present intention of the council is to have the center of the avenue, to the width of 30 feet, parked, leaving one-way thoroughfares on either side. The center would be of concrete, and the sides would be of brick, to afford more secure footing for horses, as the steep incline of the street would make concrete pave dangerous. A member expressed his understanding that the Susquehanna Co. Electric Company is considering placing its wires underground, as this could be quite readily done when the water main is laid.
