Chairman Wasko stated that his colleagues and himself had been very; economical and that they had reduced 'in their time' the old debts, and that most of the large bills now outstanding were also inherited from predecessors in i office. In fact he said that current water and electric bills are being paid regularly, and cited the fact that $2800 was paid the electric Lackawanna avenue, Duryea; Walter Urban, 7 Simpson street, Duryea; Walter Lambert, 458 Lackawanna avenue, Duryea; Frank Nitowski, 244 Church street, Duryea; Joseph $10; and delinquent taxes from the blessed at 5 oclock and in the evening at 7 oclock.
