JERHYN
MAYFIELD
WATER WAR IN JERMYN BOROUGH.
Complete History or a I.ongCon
ued Local Controversy.
Contempt of court proceedings are not
the altogether improbable outcome of
the faulty legislation of the Jermyn
borough authorities. Through misin
formation furnished by the secretary.
J. W. Grant, they were led to pay a bill
against the direct orders of Judge
Uunster, and now the treasurer's
bondsmen are out $2,000 and the bor
ough officials have juil staring them In
the face.
Ten years ago the people of Jermyn
commenced an agitation for water
works, realizing that the undermining
of the town would soon sap their wells
and feeling that the grow th of the town
and especially the Increasing density
of the settlements in the center of the
village warranted them In providing
fire protection. The matter was dis
cussed in the councils but the borough
authorities had to confess that the town
could not then go to the expense which
such an Improvement would call for.
Thereupon a company was formed by
some of the wealthy properly holders
and a water works established, coun
cils gladly granting the necessary fran
chises. The company went to great ex
pense In building reservoirs and piping
water and were just about to realize
something from the investment when
a new company sprang up and necured
franchises for supplying wnter. The
old company had been charging $S a
year for water, but just before the ad
vent of the new company, lowered Its
price to feeling that It could do
this since its money was commencing
to earn something. The new company
oflered to furnish water for $.1 and es
cured many subscriptions on five-year
contracts. The old company Immedi
ately dropped its price to $4 u year and
bid to supply the borough hydrants for
$4.!I0, for which 11 had, before, been re
ceiving tin. It having learned I hat the
new company intended to put in a
$5 bid.
THK COMPANIES MF.RGKH.
Thus the two companies fought for
about a year. One night the old com
pany's reservoir sale was opened iind
the water let out. It had no water for
its subscribers and the only thing left
to do was to dicker with the now com
pany. The new company had been
having Its own bother because rf the
poor quality of the Mud Pond water It.
was using and was perfectly willing to
enter Into an arrangements wiih Its
competitors. 'Jlie result was that the
old company swallowed the new one,
together with its bad water, and debts,
one Item of I he latter being $C0,0U0
worth of bonds.
Willi competition out of the way the
Jermyn and Hushbrook Water com
pany, as it became titled, resumed work
on costly Improvements contemplated
before competition arose; and by rea
son of this expenditure nnd their en
foiled assumption of the other com
pany's deblH it nlleires that it was com
pelled to raise the water rates to their
original figure. $S. It also claims that
had not tin- council fostered the com
petition against the old company it
would never have charged more than
JG, even with the costly new improve
ments. The additional t'.' made neces
sary by the debt which it was com
pelled to assume, will be stricken off.
It says, when this debt is provided for,
or ns soon us the company can fee Its
way clear to make a reduction.
ANOTIIKR WAR.
Agitation was Immediately rife for a
borough water works nnd without
much if nny consultation of the law
or the prophets an ordinance was pass
ed Jan. 31 lstf. declaring for u wnter
works and submitting the question to a
vote of the electors. The election was
h'-ld March 2i, and 41B voted "for the
bonding of the borough" and 37 voted
"against the bonding of the borough."
Council proceeded immediately to bond
the borough for S1K.W0 and contracted
with Howell & Blanchnrd, of Pittston,
to have nn artesian well, from which
It was proposed to secure the water.
A clause of the water works ordinance
also condemned the Hidi;e Creek nnd
Hush brook that they might also be
converted Into a supply for the borough
reservoirs.
In July last Simon Phillips. Gomer S.
Davis, A. Cary, H. Carey, G. C. Ueb
hardt. A. F. Gebhardt, George Mc
Loughlln, John McCloskey, James
Scutt, Patrick Loughney. John Lough
ney, M. J. Shield, Michael Muldoon,
Patrick Feeney, John McCloskey. Jr.,
John Jermyn, the Delaware and Hud
son Canal company, the Northern Coal
and Iron company and the Mooslc Pow
der company secured an Injunction re
straining the borough from proceed
ing. In the bill of complaint It was al
leged: First, that the proposed issue
of bonds was illegal because, contrary
to the act of 1S74, it provided for an
Increase beyond two per cent, of the
assessed valuation; secondly, because
the condemnation of Itldge Creek and
Hush Brook would do a great nnd irre
parable injury to the Forest Creek
Mining company and the Jermyn nnd
Hush Brook Water company, which
were respectively utilizing the none too
sulllclelit supply of those streams, the
plaintiffs further alleging that costly
damage suits would result from such
condemnation; thirdly, the election was
void because instead of Voting "the
debt may be Increased," as prescribed
In such cases by statute, the votes were
cast "for bonding the borough."
TAKEN INTO COURT.
Judge Gunster In the September
term of common pleas declared that
the proposed Issue of bonds was clearly
without authority and decreed condi
tionally In favor of the plaintiffs. Dur
ing the November term he made the
decree absolute and handed down a
lengthy opinion giving his grounds for
the same.
On Nov. 24, a day or two before the
latter ruling was made, J. W. Grant,
the borough secretary, came into court
with a petition signed only by himself,
asking that court so modify its former
ruling that the borough might pay for
the boring of the artesian well, which
cost $2,101. Judge Gunster granted a
rule returnable Dec. 5 to show cause
wh the modification should not be
made. The next day the Seranton Re
publican erroneously stated that the
petition had been granted nnd upon
the strength of this and the represen
tations of the aforesaid Grant, the
treasurer paid the boring bill, provision
for which was made by the sale of
$2,300 worth of bonds.
HONDHOLDKItS PROTKCTKD.
When the petition came up for con
sideration Dec. n, Judge Gunster un
hesitatingly wrote across Its face "peti
tioner has no standing and rule is dis
charged." When Judge Gunster's attention was
called to the contemptuous action of
Grant and the borough treasurer, he
Issued an amendment to his ruling, de
creeing thnt the purchasers of the
bonds should be fort 1 tied from all loss.
This placed the responsibility on the
treasurer and seems to Indicate, that
the Judge's future course In dealing
with those who were disobedient to the
mnndate of the court will lie anything
but mild. Grant Is the Jermyn corre
spondent of the Republican and by his
disreputable assaults upon the court
hus disgusted all dcent people. By
his ofileloiisness and the ill results of
his ignorant meddling he has brought
himself Into bad odor among the think
ing people of the borough.
