Burgess Downes' Message to Council
To the President and Members of Borough Council:
Gentlemen: -
Two years ago I presented for your consideration my first message.
I called the attention of your Honorable Body to the necessity for tile
proper construction and maintenance of our streets. I requested tl1O,-:;
you keep in mind the thought of pennanence and durability, not to be
unmindful of the fact that the cost of construction during the war wOlud
be and remain unmeasurably high. It is my privilege and duty to con-
gratulate you upon the wisdom and uncommon foresight which you have
shown at all times in the handling of this mOst important of the Bor-
ough's problems.
You are to be further congratulated in securing the services of Mr.
Charles Humphreys as Street CommisSioner. His intelligent directing
of the work and close co-operation with the Highway Committee has
made it possible for us to be justly prOUd of our streets and at the same
time to feel that our funds have been judiciously expended.
necessary increase in taxes, is eVidence of their wish to put at your
cOllUDand the proper funds needed to make our highways second to none
in the Commonwealth.
OUR BUSINESS STREET: May I not draw your attention spe-
cifically to the necessity for improvement to Haverford Avenue, from
Narberth to Essex Avenues? This is the main business street of the
BOrough, and While the Street Commissioner is to be commended for the
manner in which this street has been maintained, it is evident that it
will reqUire reconstruction, in whole or in part, in the near future. I
of that part of the street between Narberh and Forrest Avenues, and of
this I approve. but I would further suggest that if it be at all possible,
the square from Forrest to Essex be also reconstmeted not later than
1921.
PROPER SIGNS: I take this opportunity to call to your attention
t1Je" necessity for suita])le signs to be erected at the valious approaches
to the Borough. properly welcoming visitors to our COlllmunity. I also
urge that a light-and-left sign be placed at the comer of Haverford and
Essex Avenues. The highway at this point is narrow and the traffic
congestion lUlUsual; therefore, the PU!llic should have this protection.
FRONT FOOT ASSESSMENT PLAN: In view of the financial con-
dition of the BOICUgh. I feel that Council is to be commended for the wis-
dom of its deci~ion on the subject of street and sewer construction, that
all future improvements be paid fOr on the frOnt foot assessment plan.
While heretofore the Borough has been more than generous in the man-
uer in which these improvements have been paid for out of the current
revenues, this has proven to be an uneconomic and lUlSOund method,
Which, if persisted in, would involve the Borough in still further (lif-
ficulties. I commend, therefore, your decision to assess these improve-
ments on the property owners.
COLLECTION OF ASHES AND GARBAGE: The matter of collect-
ing ashes and garbage has been satisfactorily settled in a way which
seems to be to the best interests of the tax-payers. I am opposed, how-
ever, to the plan now used to place the ash-boxes in the frOnt yards and
on the sidewalk until the collector calls fOr them. This is unsightly,
does much to detract from the beauty of our Community and I feel sure
that I am voicing the feeling Of the Citizens when I urge that this plan
.
FREE CARRIER DELIVERY: In cOlmection with the inlprove-
ments contemplated by the Pennsylvania Railroad -Company when it re-
turns to corporate contrOl, at Narberth Station, which SUbject, I am ad-
I would draw your attention to the a.dvisability of recommending to the
Postmaster-General the establishment of free carrier delivery in Narberth
at the earliest date at which this can be aCCOmplished. I understand
that public agitation has recently arisen along these lines and I would
suggest that your HOnorable Body render whatever co-operative assist-
ance possible to secure this service. The present Post Office, while a dis-
tinct improvement on the old one, will soon prove inadequate for the
growing business of the Borough. While this subject, of course, is not
in the province of Councils, nevertheless I believe that any co-operation
which your Honorable BOdy may be able to extend to the Postmaster in
the improvement of lOcal service will be appreciated.
SHADE TREE COMMISSION: I have recently called a meeting of
the Shade Tree Commission which I appointed in accordance with the
provisions of the Ordinance passed by Council last year. At this meeting
the duties and requirements of the Commission will be explained to the
members, so that there will be no uncertainty in the future as to what
should be done by this Commission or the manner in which it is to be
done. Their preliminary WQrk during the Fall was very satisfactory,
and I am sure With the co-operation of our Citizens the results will be
invaluable.
MEMORIAL TO SOLDIERS AND SAILORS: I am infonned that
your Honorable Body has recently passed a resolution endorsing the
proposed memorial to the soldiers and sailors Who represented Narberth
in the Great War and that this endorsement was of the plan to improve
and enlarge Elm Hall, turning it over to the Borough when completed.
Of this I most heartily approve and I commend it to you as being the
mOst practical and meritorious project advanced. It is altogether fit-
ting that the memorial should take the fonn of a utilitarian plan which
will serve not only as a stately monument to thOse who made the supreme
sacrifice for their country and their flag, but also as an addition to the
useful features of the Borough available for the comfort and use of those
Who fortunately returned to take up their lives in our midst.
DAYLIGHT SAVING IN NARBERTH: I am advised that among
the first of the many important subjects to be considered by Council at
this session will be a bill providing for Daylight Saving in Narberth
during the summer months. Of this I most heartily approve, and for it
I bespeak your support. This recommendation comes in the latter part
Of my message. I sincerely trust, however, that your Honorable Body
will give it your first consideration. Our community, I believe, is a unit
in its approval of this measure.
III conclusion, may I express to you, Mr. President and every member
of this Council, my great appreciation of your splendid co-operation at
all times, and further, may I congratulate you on the businesslike manner
in which you have conducted the matters of the Borough. I am ready
at all times to confer with you on all matters pertaining to the happiness,
comfort and protection of our citizens.
