They Lewis Reilly 114 116 WYOMING AVE. The next luncheon and report will be Prof. J. C. Taylor, county superintendent of schools, in his report, submitted to Superintendent of Public Instruction Nathan Schaeffer for the month of April, goes over in detail the litigation started In the local courts some years ago to compel the Scranton school board to pay Lackawanna township for the latter's maintaining schools In Lincoln Heights, while the subject of annexing Lincoln Heights t'o the city was in the Superior court.

He refers at length to the present crowded condition of the schools In Lackawanna township and to the fact that th school board is unable to secure funds for the erection and to the fact that the school board is of a much needed new building. The report says: In Lackawanna township the building Is badly ovrcrowded. With more than 1200 pupils enumerated last year, there are only nine rooms in their building. In the first and second primary rooms about one hundred children are enrolled In each room. Consequently, it was necessary to divide these schols into two divisions, half of the pupils attending school forenoons, and the other half attending afternoons.

The Lackawanna township school board is anxious to provide additional school rooms, but has not been able to secure necessary funds. One reason for this is that the district has a heavy Sopulation, but has no mills or coal reakers that may be taxed In its limits. Another reason is the low assessment and numerous abatements allowed by the county commissioners. A third reason is that hey have been unable to collect money due them from the Scranton school district. In 1906, by a decree mads by the court of Lackawanna county, a portion of the territory in Lackawanna township was annexed to the city of Scranton: but, on account of various decisions of the court In course of litigation, Lackawanna township was compelled to keep these schools open for at least two years.

In 1908 the Superior court declared the act, under which annexation of the Lincoln Heights district was made, to be constitutional; and then Lackawanna township turned these schools over to the city. Demand for payment for running these schools during the two years from 1906 to 1908, amounting to nearly $5,000, has been refused by the city authorities, although the taxes from citizens living in the Lincoln Heights district were rounded up $975. The team captained by W. T. Boiling was next, collecting seven subscriptions amounting to $58C.
