The committee on counties and town.
ships met tonight to consider the
Haworth new county bill. A large
delegation of new county" men from
Hazleton, headed by Rev. T.. s. Phil
lips, ID. j. Mccarthy and Attorney
George II. Troutman, was heard in
its favor. The addition that was made
to the commemorative greatness by
the creation of Lackawanna county
was used as one of their principle ar
guments. The bill win likely be
enacted 1t provides that the question
of creating of the new county SHALL
hc left to a vote Of the people Of the
old county. The new county boomers
are satisfied they can secure a favor
able majority, but there are many
who say this will be impossible. The
possibility of having a county IN which
the English speaking element will
be in the majority is likely to initiate
against the project in the Ha2inlon
district itself, while in the WilF"s-
Barre district there viii be a GEht
pat up against it because of tho Ie-
sire to have the JTa2leton end of the
courty holp pay for the new court
house. Tie vast corporation influences
Of the Hazlcton region, upon which
the burden of the support of the new
county will fall are arrayed against
the measure.
