The night between the citizens of
Olyphant borough against the Oly-
phant Sewerage and Drainage COM
pany is on again. The sewer company
having commenced operations a few
Gays ago and having every legal right,
according to the recent decision of the
supreme court, the citizens Of the
borough assembled in mass meeting
last night to devise other means Of oD-
posing the sewer controlled by a pri-
vate corporation.
The meeting was held in the bor.
ough building, which was filled to
overlooking and called to order bv
Chairman David f. Lewis. Secretary
Matthews stated the object of the
meeting which was to consider the
sewer question, and all citizens were
invited to give their views on the
matter NJ. w. Cummings was among
the first speakers to take the floor.
and in very forcible language urged
the people to unite and to form an or
ganization to include every taxpayer
in the borough, and refuse to make
any connection with the proposed
sewer He said further that the coun-
| Gil could assist in the matter by not
entering into a contract for CARRYING
off the surface drainage. Burgess
Manning also made a few remarks,
asking the cooperation of the citi-
zens in the matter of accepting n
bond from the company for the tear
Ing up of the pave on Lackawanna
street Many other taxpayers ex-
pressed themselves as being in favor
of constructing a sewer owned by the
| property holders, rather than be COM
PEELED to make connections with a
| sewer controlled by private individu-
ais. Another meeting will be held
next Monday night, when more def
mite action will be taken. A commit
tee was appointed to make arrange
mnts for holding the next meeting in
a larger hall, as the borough build
ing is too small to accommodate the
| crowds that assemble.
