    The central result of this paper is that if \(S\) is a locally compact \(\sigma\)-compact semigroup and \(R\) is a closed congruence on \(S\), then \(S\slash R\) is a topological semigroup. This result first appeared in [\textit{J. D. Lawson} and \textit{B. L. Madison}, Math. Z. 120, 18-24 (1971; Zbl 0201.15501)] and was reported in [\textit{J. H. Carruth, J. A. Hildebrandt} and \textit{R. J. Koch}, The theory of topological semigroups I, New York (1983; Zbl 0515.22003)].
