that they assist the Dunmore Gas and

The committee, Messrs. Payton,

shown, they said, that the Scranton
company did not intend to do any more
of the helping" to the Dunmore Water
company, but was willing to supply the

Mr. Brogan remarked that he thought

sitions were fair and moved that a peti-
ton be circulated After some discus
sion it was decided to allow the COM
mittee appointed full power to act,
and, If the people wished to get up 4
petition allow them to do so.
Several grievances We're heard from
property-owners, who stated they had
paid their water taxes and were re-
ceiving no water. They wanted coun-
Gil to act and said SO In very emphatic
language. Councilman Brogan moved
that council adjourn to meet at the
call of the special committee and the
motion was carried

President George 3. Smith, of the
Dunmore Water company, that ar
rangements had just been completed
with the Scranton Gas and Water
