Baden's First 100 YearsPage Twenty-two
At the meeting of September 6th, 1868 these ordinances were ordered published in the Beaver County Argus, and twelve copies of same be purchased. The cost of these services was five dollars and thirty cents ($5.30). On February 29th, 1872, a supplement to the incorporation Act of Assembly was approved which annexed to the Borough: "All that certain tract of land adjoining the borough of Baden, in the county of Beaver, known as Ehrman tract, including any portion of said lands which may have been sold since the passage of the said Act of Assembly of April 1st, 1868. At the council meeting of December 31st, 1871, the citizens presented a petition asking council to open all laid out streets and alleys in the borough, but this Council laid it on the table at that time. But during the years 1872 and 1873 Council seemed to have its trouble attempting to open the streets and alleys, as in a number of instances, property owners were given ten days to remove obstructions and then in June, 1873, they were given 48 hours, or same would be removed by the Street Commissioner at the expense of the offenders. The streets involved were: Jefferson, Milton, Liberty, Pinney, Schiller, Coal Alley, the street between the Lutheran church and Fowlers, the one between Lees and Fowlers and a forty-foot street at the back of the Burkhart Plan of Lots. Then on November 8th, 1873, David Anderson and Chas. Cole were reported to have removed their fences off the streets, but T. W. Fowler had not complied with a notice issued to him, so would be sued at law for having placed or maintained obstructions on streets. March 13th, 1875, a resolution was unanimously adopted, protesting the building of a new Court House at Beaver. An Ordinance passed May 12th, 1877, prohibiting cattle running at large on the streets. However, on October 13th, the same year, Isaac Grim brought the matter of Wm. Lees having seized his cows and wished Council to adjust the penalties for trespass and damages, but council ruled this was out of their jurisdiction, however, at the next meeting Isaac Grim again brought an action against R. N. Cullen for taking two head of cattle and the collection by him of $4.00 fines and fees. In this case council resolved to remit the fine of $2.00 each, on account of irregularities in the proceedings. On December 8th, 1877, an ordinance was passed prohibiting playing ball, and sled riding on the streets. Ordinance No. 9 prescribing a fine for hanging upon buggies was passed April 24th, 1880. It was apparent that council had difficulties in finding a meeting place as on April 24th, 1880, the president of the School Board notified them that they could not use the School House until the School Board saw the insurance agent, but would let them know in about a week. march 26th, 1881. A telephone company was permitted to erect poles and put up telephone line through the Borough. An Ordinance
