John j. Brogan, Thomas Payton and

ed by the borough council to confer
with President George b. Smith. of
the Dunmore Gas and Water company,
and President w. w. Scranton, of the
Scranton Gas and Water company,
met the other members of council last
evening in the council rooms and told
their findings. President Scranton told
the committee that he would report
to them at 7.3O o'clock that evening
(Thursday), but would also state that
the Scranton Gas and Water company
would not turn its water into the Dun
more Water company's pipes unless
the latter agreed to sell. The commit
tee, however, reported no official noti-
fication of any sale having taken place.
The fact that the water from the
Scranton company's excellent system
is now supplying the needs of the peo-

council wished to gain. Payton was
chosen chairman in the absence of
McAllister, and David, secretary, in
