Committee of Citizens Meet and Ap
point Sub-Committees to Watt un
City Treasurer Robinson in
Regard to the -ewer.
If ever a project launched for tho
good of the people was "hoododed,"
the Seventeenth district main sewer
takes a front seat In the procession.
It would take u historian fully ac
quainted with the birth and career of
South Scranton to give In detail the
many obstacles that this sewer move
ment has met and overcome since an
ordinance wns Introduced for Its con
struction In common council years ago
by Hon. John J. Scheuer. who then
represented the Eleventh ward In that
branch of the city legislature.
Rut, coming down to modern his
tory, the residents of this side are
fully in touch with what tho sewer
advocates have hud to contend with
since the contract was given to Dunn
Brothers. Little need be said of what
work was done to Induce Contractor
Coons to take the Job and now that ho
has begun with the construction of
the sewer, he is on the verge of throw
ing up the job, because he cannot get
any money from the city. It is this
fact that a meeting of the citizens
committee of tho district was called
for last night, as was announced in
Tho Tribune yesterday morning.
The mooting of the committee was
held at Mirtz' hall, on Plttston ave
nue, with Chairman S. S. Spruks in
the chair. It was leafned that a
year ago C. G. Roland, who was then
city treasurer, sent out to the prop
erty holders the notice that their as
sessment was duo and should be paid.
Owing to the mnny delays In com
mencing tho work of the sower and
the probability that It would not bo
commenced tho property holders have
not paid tholr assessment and nre now
awaiting another notice from tho city
treasurer. Mr. Robinson, the pres
ent treasurer, states that he will not
send a notice, believing that the one
Mr. Roland sent was sulllclent.
A committee composed of S. S.
Spruks, II. K. Klaumlnzcr, Jacob Gelg
er, Jr.. and Hon. John J. Scheuer will
wait on City Treasurer Robinson nnd
request him to mail a second notice,
In order that tho sewer will be a "sure
certainty" by the first year of the new
centurv.
