With respect to the various local con &.

meeting the other day memorializsd

granting the use of the streets to a
private sewer company and expressing
the belief that sewers, being for the
public use and the public good, should
be owned by che public. have sounded
the key note to the whole controversy
and left little to be added
1t is not exaggeration to soy that In
their disregard of fundamental equi-
ties the various municipal legislati ve
bodies Of Northeastern Pennsylvania,
during the past decade, have probably
surpassed any equal number OF coun

erly guarded, uncommon opportunities
