THE SEWER INJUNCTION.

On the 29th of December bill of
complaint was filed in the Court of Com
mon Pleas of this county by d. j. Wal.
Ter, William Neal, w. NJ Reber, L. N.
Meyer, o. A. Jacoby, Jackson Hover,
M. Q. Sloan, l. S. Kuhn, Stephen Knorr,
Q. w. Miller, r. H. Ringler, f. p. Bill
meyer, f. V. Hartman, j. p. Tustin
and l.. A. Shattuck, taxpayers, against
the President and members Of Town
Council, praying for IN injunction to
restrain the defendants from proceeding
to construct sewer over the route de
signated, viz, up Sixth street, to Iron,
and down Iron street, or on any other
route than the one designated by the
contracts with the county and Normal
School, and from entering on any lands
other than those for which releases have
been executed.
The bill sets forth that the council
ordained the construction of sewer
in accordance with specification adopt
ed November 27th 1883, to-wit from
the Normal School down Second to
Market down Market to the river That
q COHbIdCJ was SllcIOu lubO DcUWCCu
the Town and Normal School, by which
the latter was to pay $500 towards
the construction of the sewer on said
route and similar contract was made
with the county for sewerage from the
Jail for $4,000. That on December 10th
at special council meeting, only four
members being present aresolution was
passed changing the route from Market
street up Sixth, to Iron, down Iron to
the canal and thence to the river. That
by this change in route an acute angle
is made at Market and Sixth and Iron
streets, while the fall or down grade in
the sewer is the minimum and so en-
dangers its successful working
That on the route to the river down
Market all rights of way had been re-
leased, while in the new route no releas-
es have been secured.
That the Santarium and ID. L. d w.
depot cannot be accommodated with
sewerage, both of which places need it
badly and would be accommodated by
the original route.
That the change of route was hastily
made without the exercises of that dis
creation and foresight required in enter
prises of this magnitude,
That III ..Dstruction of a sewer oyer
the proposr' route will incur debt
exceeding $1,000, aud that no provision
has been made as required by law
for payment of ibis increased indebted
ness, the whole of which must be pro
vided for if the contracts with the Nor
NAL School and county are not complied
with.
The papers were presented to Judge
Elwell on Saturday and preliminary
injunction issued and the time for
hearing fixed for Wednesday afternoon
at o'clock. On Monday Judge Ell
well certified the case to Judge Rice of
Wilkesbarre, his interest in the cause
being such as to render IL improper for
him to determine it.
The case was argued at the time fix
ed before Judge Rice in the court
house, Buckalew, Knorr a. Winter
steeu representing the complainants,
and Barkley and keller defendants.
The entire afternoon N evening was
consumed in the argun.. I, after which
Judge Rice took the papers aud holds
the case under adyisement.
