This is the third time this rase has been in litigation extending over a period of 30 years. The Boyd family are owners of most of the water front and ground at Lily Lake in Slocum and Conyng-ham Townships, a summer resort patronized mostly by persons In the Nanticoke and Newport sections. The first time the affairs of the Boyd family reached the Supreme Court was after the death of Aaron Boyd, father of John, Lawrence, Harbey, Ira and Morris Boyd. In 1932 after the case had been in litigation in tho county court for several years, the Supreme Court decided that the estate of Aaron Boyd should sell for (105,000, all Us holdings to John, Lawrenco and Harvey Boyd.

Ira Boyd who operated the concessions at Lily Luke petitioned the Orphans Court to fix a fair rental that he would be obligated to pay into the estate. Tho rourt determined $200 annually as a fair return, but before tho decision was rendered, Ira died and the tight was continued by his estate to the Supreme Court, which affirms the previous decision handed down by Judge E.

W. Young, featured the forum meeting of Kingston Business Men's Association last night at the Rainbow Restaurant. Dr. Charles L.

Shafer, president of the Board of Health, reported briefly on the clean-up of the pond hole on Market street, near South Landon avenue. Gene Lazarus, president, reported that S. S. Lewis, of the State Highway Department, has promised to come to Kingston to see the conditions on Market street. Harry Roat reported that the government is willing to spend toward helping place the aviation field at Forty Fort In good condition.

Sam Boyd Bpoke In favor of going ahead as soon as possible with plans for widening Market street, and Prof. T. S. Davis suggested that the association try to get the Wilkeg-Barre Railway Company to issue transfers on the West Side, James Dukas, Edwardsville theatre owner, suggested the dredging of Toby's Creek, told of the needs of playgrounds in the borough, and urged that the business men cooperate with Edwardsville In Old Home Week. Proposes Street Changes Excerpts from J.

W. Young's report on proposed changes on Market street follow: "In connection with the proposed development of Market Street from the Susquehanna River to Wyoming Avenue, which has been discussed before this association at different times, It appears to divide itself Into three headings: "1. Route of Market Street The question of how this street is to be handled between Wright and Wyoming avenue; whether It will be widened on the South Side and continued straight through to Wyoming Avenue or whether the present angle in the street will be maintained and the widening take place on the north side of Market Street; this is a problem which is immaterial to the discussion which will deal largely with the rearrangement of the present structures in the main highway between curbs of Market Street and the subsequent illumination of this street. "The Changes in Structures. The method that will be followed in regard to the present trolley tracks poles and fixtures carrying the trolley wires and other conductors which now occupy a central portion of the Market Street highway be tween the bridge over the Susque hanna and Wyoming Avenue is, however, important to this discus slon.

It seems to the speaker that the Ideal method of handling these structures would be to throw the trolley track on the southerly side of Market Street to the northerly aide and to depress all of the tracks tohe street level and to eliminate all poles and structures from the middle of Market Street. This would make a fine boulevard of bout SO feet in width from curb to curb, practically equally divided on each side of the tracks, leaving no obstruction on the surface to traffic movement. All conductors other than- trolley wires would be carried on poles lines running along each curb, and the trolley conductors would be hung on suspension wires crossing over Market Street and attached to poles on either side. This Is the plan now being followed on the Market Street bridge as far as the surface and overhead conditions are concerned. "3.

Illumination of Market street. The next problem is to decide on the illumination of Market street from the Wilkes-Barre end of the bridge to Wyoming avenue. In regards to the illumination of the bridge proper: this is a distance of 1,600 feet and there are at present 62 lamps on this bridge. These lamps are set in line with the length of the bridge and it is suggested that they be changed to an angle of 80 degrees so as to cover directly over the highway and the sidewalk and also that they be put one foot higher and a fixture installed which will throw light down towards the pavement instead of up from the pave ment as at present. "We will now take up the lighting from the Kingston end of the bridge to Wyoming avenue, a distance of approximately 4,800 feet To put in the illumination equivalent to that on Wyoming avenue between Mar ket and Hoyt street and at an approximate 90 foot spacing would require 94 lamps.

The cost of this proposed illumination would be about $4,935 per year assuming that one half of them are cut off at mid Bight" Auxiliary to Meet Woman's Auxiliary of Anthracite Post 283, veterans of Foreign Wars, of Kingston, will meet tonight at 8 o'clock in the clubrooms, 757 Wyo ming Avenue, Kingston.
