SOUTH SCRANTON NEWS.
Committee of Citizens Meet and APP
point SUBJ COMMITTEES to Wait On
City Treasurer Robinson in
Regard to the lever.

IF ever a project launched for the
good of the people was "hoodooed,"
the seventeenth district main sewer
takes front seat in the procession.
1t would take a historian fully ac-
quainted with the birth and career IF
south Scranton to give in detail the
many obstacles that this sewer move
ment has met and overcome since an
ordinance was introduced for it's con-
struction in common council years ago
by Hon. John J. Scheuer, who then
represented the Eleventh ward in that
branch Of the city legislature.
But, coming down to modern his
tory, the residents of this side are
fully in touch with what the sewer
advocates have had to contend with
since the contract was given to Dunn
Brothers. Little need be said of what
work was done to induce Contractor
Coons to take the job and now that he
has begun with the construction of
the sewer, he is on the verge of throw
ing up the job, because he cannot get
any money from the city. 1t is this
fact that a meeting of the citizens
committee of the district was called
for last night, as was announced in
The Tribune yesterday morning.
The meeting of the committee was
held at Alirtz' hall, on Pittston ave-
nue., with Chairman S. s. Spruks in
the chair. 1t was learned that
year ago c. G.. BOland who was then
city treasurer, sent out to the prop
erty holders the notice that their as
sessment was due and should be paid.
Owing to the many delays in COM
menCing the work of the sewer and
the probability that it would not be
commenced the property holders have
not paid their assessment and are now
awaiting another notice from the city
treasurer. Mr.. Robinson. the pres
ent treasurer, states that he will not
send a notice, believing that the one
Mr. Boland sent was sufficient
a committee composed of $. S.
Spruks, Fl. *. Klauminzer Jacob Geig-
er, jr., and Hon. John j. Scheuer will
wait on City Treasurer Robinson and
request him to mail a second notice
in order that the sewer will be a sure
certainty" by the first year Of the new
century.
