Pittston. April n.-While Pittston
city in its incipiency is assuming an air
OF busy metropolis the people OF this
vicinity should not forget that West
PlttstOn has still many uudeveloped ad-
Vantages. some Of which are at present
agitating the minds OF some OF our most
prominent West Side citizens. Con-
siderable comment has been provoked
by the new West Side hotel scheme. 4
hotel on the West Side would have its
advantages. The proposed new Water
street bridge is L necessity and should
be built Of the required strength, and
constructed in such a manner as to per-
nit the crossing with the electric cars.
which il is proposed 20 run from River
street 10 Exeter borough, along Lu-
zerne avenue. With view 10 provid-
ing for i greater Garden Village, We
would suggest that the two stations OF
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern railroad within the limits OF this
borough be abandoned and that new
depot of modern structure be placed by
the company AT the Luzerne avenue
crossing.

Hint to Sanitary Officers.
As the warm weather OF the summer
season advances the obnoxious odor
that arises from the filth that has col
Iected during the winter in the cellars
and out-of-the-way corners of some Of
our prominent business places as well
as about our streets and dwellings, be-
comes unbearable. Aside from the dis
agreeable odor which arises from such
collections of refuse matter great dan
ger of an epidemic from the disease
germs which 1t Is sure to breed, pre-
sents itself. Our board Of health and
sanitary officers should consider this
matter seriously and should take some
means to have all such streets and
places cleaned Immediately.
