"I want to know whether or not they had the right to mine the coal on the property when the city owned it under a tax sale. Earlier in the week representa tives of the company admitted that the company was mining on the Robinson tract, but claimed that they were doing so under leases secured from heirs of the Robinson estate. They held that the heirs were responsible for the taxes and claimed that the company did noi know that the property was sold to the city in a tax sale in 1933.

Later they admitted that they were mining on the Earl and Griffin tract under a lease secured from the heirs. So far they deny that they are operating on the neighboring Kelsey tract, but city officials claim that an investigation will show that the company is also mining on this city owned property.

Mr. Steele requested several days to allow the company to study its leases and maps. The Mayor said that publicity on the company's mining on city property was withheld until the city had secured sufficient evidence for a lawsuit. The Mayor pointed out that the city had gathered evidence without knowledge of the company. He said that it would be a very easy matter for the company to blast down entrances to their operations on the city owned tracts.

Dixon Demands Probe James Dixon, secretary of the North Scranton Home Owners and Taxpayers League, precipitated Mr. O'Donnell's motion. Appearing before Council to protest the "reckless operation of the company in the vicinity of the 500 block of West Market Street," Dixon demanded that a thorough investigation be made of the Penn Anthracite's operations on city owned tracts. Mr. Dixon insisted that the city take the offensive on the question and that Council institute suit against "all companies operating on city lands." Councilmen Henry S.

Lawrence and Russell W. Armbruster, while demanding a thorough investiga tion of all charges against the Penn Anthracite Company, pointed out that the company had violated the law in not showing that they were operating on the city owned tracts on the maps which it submitted to the office of the City Mine Cave Engineer. "I think that this is the real of fense," Lawrence said. "Certainly they know that they are to show their operations on the map sub mitted to the city." Councilman Armbruster told Mayor Davis, "I am sure that you are going to do what is right. Mr.

Rader, who said that Mr, O'Donnell's motion was a good one, added that it was silly on the part of the company to attempt to say that it was unaware that it should include the Robinson and Earl Griffin tracts on the maps showing their operations in the city. "They violated the spirit and the letter of the law," Mr. Dixon said, "and they should be prose. cuted both in civil and criminal suits Mr. Dixon asked Councilman O'Donnell to phrase his motion to include suit on both civil and criminal grounds.

Mr. Dixon said that there was nothing to prevent the Penn An thracite Company from "folding up and leaving the taxpayers of the city holding the bag." It seems to me that company was planning to get all it could and then fold up with a lot of coal belonging to the taxpayers of scranton in its possession." Mr, Dixon said. "They could have folded up two weeks ago, for that matter," Mayor Davis replied. i nere is no use sparring arouna witn tnose fellows," Coun cilman Donnell said. "They were taking coal to which they naa no ngnt.
