Say Alderson Man
Was Married Twice
Alleged Bigamist Released
On Bail To Appear
In Court
Charged with bigamy, Floyd Scouton,
Alderson, is under bail to appear be-
fore the Grand Jury. He was arrested
Sunday by Chief of Police Ira C. Ste-
venson of Harvey's Lake, on a warrant
sworn by Mrs. May Davenport of Lu-
zerne, Scouton’s mother-in-law.
According to Mrs. Davenport Scou-
ton married a New Jersey girl in 1923
and established a home in Wilkes-
Barre but relatives of his bride came
after her and she returned with them.
It is alleged that in February of this
year Scouton married Mary Davenport
of Luzerne. They lived at Alderson.
Justice of the Peace Frank Shivy of
Luzerne heard the case and released
Scouton under bail for appearance in
court,

Four projects costing $500,000 have
already been completed. These were
part of the original PWA program and
as was the policy, 30 per cent of the
cost of labor and material ($150,000)
was contributed by the Public Works
Administration, the balance = being
raised by the sponsoring communities.
Kingston Gets $126,000
In Kingston, extensive improvements
were made to the sewer system, and
new storm sewers to serve the area
known as the Westmoor Section were
constructed, all at a cost of approxi-
mately $126,000, of which $39,000 was
contributed as a PWA grant thereby
reducing Kingston’s share to only $87,-
000. In Hughestown, a Federal grant
amounting to $5,475 and a loan of $16,-
000 made possible the construction of
a one-story, four-room addition to the
elementary school The largest of the
completed projects is the Wilkes-Barre
project which provided for the con-
struction of extensions to the sanitary
and storm sewer-systems and the con-
struction of a reinforced concrete high-
way bridge over Laurel Run Creek, and
‘which cost $353,000. Of this large sum,
[$106,000 was contributed by the Public
‘Works Administration.
The other fourteen projects, all under
construction, are estimated to cost
nearly $1,5000,000. Since these needed
useful public works are all part of the
second Public Works Administration
program which provided for direct
grants amounting to 45 per cent of the
total cost of the project, nearly $670,000
was contributed in such grants, there-
by making possible their construction
at a great saving to the Luzerne Coun-
ty taxpayers. This Federal assistance
made possible the promotion of this
construction program at a time when
employment was badly needed and
when the market for building material
was slow. PWIA created that needed
work and that demand for building ma-
terial which is proving a boon to all.
