The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1902-08-30
DUNMORE.

The council met yesterday afternoon
and again made an ineffectual effort to
award the sewer contract. After much
discussion it was impossible to reach an
agreement and the matter was again laid
over until the regular meeting on Monday
evening. In the meantime Borough En-
gineer HoIan is to so over the ground
and furnish a new estimate of the prob
able amount of rock to be encountered,
the members to agree on the bidder
shown to be the lowest by the new esti-
mate. This practically places the award
ing Of the contract in the hands of the
borough engineer, as difference OF 1000
feet In his estimate will change the fig
ures enough to change the name of the
lucky one. Should Mr.. Horan decide that
there are 10000 feet or over of rock, the
bid of the Hendler Construction company.
OF Wilkes-B Barre, will be over 81 900 lower
than the nearest competitor.
The citizens meeting held yesterday
afternoon to take action on the delay Of
the council in awarding the sewer con-
tract was largely attended Several hum
dred taxpayers being present. Owing to a
misunderstanding some of the expected
speakers were not present. Health Of
flcer O'Hora acted as chairman of the
meeting. 1t was decided that in case the
contract was not awarded before Tues
day next another meeting would be held
at the same PLACE when competent speak
ers on such matters would be there. Sew
eral impromptu speeches were made
warning the borough fathers that the
contract must be let to the lowest bidder
and let at once or the taxpayers wuold
serve notice that the sewer could not
be constructed at all.
