MAYOR
S
Concluded from First PaRe.
injj poshed forward as rapidly as is tleomed
consistent with careful work and thor-
ushness. Two very import ant decisions
have been secured from the supremo court
upon cases taken up from this city by our
city solicitor. The first m the mntter of
tho annexation or a part or l.acKawanua
township in which the constitutionality of
tl;-' municipal act of ISS'J, under which the
city has been Operating for live years, was
vigorously attacked, tbe success of tne
attack would liavn thrown tho city gov
ernment into the utmost confusion, ran
deiing uucortaiii tho tenure of office of its
officers, and dubioni very many of
its ordinance'. The supremo court, how
ever, lias saveil ami su. turned tlio uct, ami
has placed municipal charters of cities of
tiio third class upon au uunssailuble basis.
Hie othtr case was relative to tne pow
er of the city to grade and assess tbo cost
by the toot front rule, widen power was
letiied anil was Held iloiiMliu Dy our
court. Tho supreme court, However, uas
now fully sustained the power which nut
on:y Mi .es assessments already made under
oiUiiiances heretofore patted, but assures
tne city of its powers to make improve
ments in this manner hereafter, it is a
great advantage lhat it cau do so,
as the expense uf viewers under
the benefit of the system ts so
great as to represent a consider
able portion of the cost iu many cases;
whereas, improvements mada by the foot
fiout rule all such expenses are avoided
and much time and trouble is suved. in
addition to these cases there has been a
large aiuouut uf important business trans
SCted during tln past year other than the
ordinary business of the law department.
There bare been thirteen sets uf viewers
appoiutei to asses alleged damages re
sulting from Street improvements, each ol
which have required constant attention
before viewers end iu the court. The
damages awarded by the viewers will
amount in the aggregate to 180,000, L'udei
direction of councils appeals have been
takeu in nearly ull cnse.
A complete 1o"ket lias been made uf all
case; upn uud pending in which the city
is a party; and nearly 1,000 liens which
have either beeu collected during the year
or have been previously paid and not sat
isfied, have beifii satisfied mid the record
so far cleared of the mass of open and uu -satisfied
liens.
A complete and efficient system for the
collection of liens has been introduced, so
that the clashing and coufusion botweim
the law aud the treasury departments
which gave frexpieut annoyance to tue or
Bcialt aud to tho taxpayers may be
obviated.
The collections of the department dur
ing the eleven months since May 1 have
amounted to more thau iiiO.OOO.
FINANCE!
The condition of tho finances of our city
at the present time is a source of pratilica
tioti. Our total bunded iudebiedness is
about WJt),5UU. The bouds and i asli in our
linking fund amount fo UH,400, leaving a
net indebtedness of : .-ri.lOil upon mi as
sessed valuation of about 810,000,000, t'io
annual receipts from taxation being suffi
cient to pay ths running expenses of our
city governmeut, the interest ou the bond
ed iieht aud to meet the legal requirements
of the sinking fund without making the
burden of taxation ontfOUl to the tux
payers. riBB DEPARTMENT.
The suggestion which 1 made to your
honorable bodies in my last annual com
munication aud which bat been adopted,
namely, to increase the salary of the chief
of tl.e tire department, and which directs
him to give his entire service to the city,
lias already beeu made manifest in the
improved efficiency of the department. 1
would earnestly recommend that perma
nent men b-.- addrd to the lists of tue vari
ous companies from time to time with tho
end in view that our fire eyslem shall
eventually emerge iutoa paid department,
a cuhditiuu wbicu will soou Hi made im-
I perative by the rapidly increasing popula
tion and area o tne city. I am muon
gratified to observe that your honorable
bodies have provided in your last appro
priation ordinauce for the purchase of n
chemical augiue for the usu of the depart
ment. Tim use of this machine wil un
doubtedly save much valuable property
which bus oftentimis heietufure beau de
stroyed by water.
The honorable councils provided last
year for the purchase of two sites for the
lire depsrtmeuf, one tor tho May Aug
Hose connanv on Linden ttreet and one
for tho Cyttal lluse company o:i Mulberry
street, directly in the rear of tue city
building There is, 1 believe, sufficient
hinds lett from the appropriation lor the
erection of Olio of llle-e buildings. 1 would
suggest that it 09 the one iu tho rear of the
city building t- r the rea-ou that the lease
of the building now occupied by the Crys
tal Hose company expire- Within the next
year and also that the p ilee department
may be provided with a patrol station,
which Is much needed at the present tiui".
I would, therefore, earnestly urge upon
vosar honorable bodies that the building
ConWUitteee of the new councils be im
struevd to take this mutter up at once
and give it their most cueful attention.
STREET DEPARTMENT.
We are pleased to note tho increased
number Or our paved streets and the work
that is belUH done iu grading and other
wise improving those already paved: 823,
788.70 was spent during the 'past year for
pavements, and 89,287.00 for grading, but
the general condition of our uupaved
streets It a disgrace to the fair name of our
city. This is caueed, first, from tho fact
that during tbo past year tho ward appro
priations weiH notnnder tbe control of the
street department, nud second, to the iu
ndiuuacv of t ho amount appropriated lor
street purposes. When wo consider that
the number of miles or streets, avenues,
courts and places iu this city exceeds 1I'J,
we must admit that au appropriation of
814,000 is not KiiQlcient to keep those street.!
in proper repair, aud that it is impossible
for the street commissioner note the wash
outs and other imperfections upon our
highways, ana to tie able to repair the
same before any damage might occur with
the present arrangement of the Btreet de
partment. I suggested to the honorable
councils last year of the necessity of creat
ing two assistants lor this department. 1
held then, and 1 still hold, that tbe deal
ing of those offices would not of necessity
increase the cost of maintaining the de
partment. Wo could, under this arrange
ment, hold tl in responsible lor the condi
tion of the streets within their districts,
end also eliminate fiom our pay rolls the
expense of foremaiiship lu each aud every
wind In the city.
1 believe that this department of the city
gov.-ruinent la une of the most important
aud when we take iuto consideration Hint
we appropriate about $40,UOO to be ex
pended under the diiectlon of this depart
inent, we ought to provide means by
which this large amount wouid bo expend
ed with economy and to the best udvant
age. ENGINEER sj DIU'ARTMENT
From the tabulated statement made by
the city engineer for his report to your
honorable bodies we hud that tbe total
mileage of sewor luid iu the city is thirty
five. Tbe totul cost of sewers constructed
durinir the veur is flii.tMIO. and the total
cost of sewers luid up to the present time is
14:17.(100. The greater portion ot our sewer
system is in tho central wards of the city,
with' tbe remainder in the North lOud and
West Side. The southern end uf the city
bus thus far been without this most uecos
sary adjunct or every well reguluWd oeii
ter of population, but wo are glad to uute
that attention has lately been gifen to
this matter In that portion of the city, and
a project is uowon root to establish moth
er sewer district lu that locality ant thus
take the llrststep toward giving that por
tion of the city's population equal sanitary
conveniences with the lumninder.
I also take pleasure in calling attention
nt this time to the excellent manner iu
which the engineer's detartmott has
looked alter the various wuifcs of the city
ANNUAL
SUGGESTIONS
10 COUNCILS
which have been prosecuted under its su
pervision and also the complete set of
muiis nud drawings which have been made
of the city showing its entire system of
sewers aud tbo psved streets, showing the
material of wuicii they are constructed
mid t be cost of tbe same, as has also been
appended to the sewer imps.
Tho completion of those drawings now
renders it possible for every citizen desir
iug lu acquaint himself with the work the
city has been doing in this direction to do
so by consulting them as placed on trial in
the engineer'! department. This is the
Brtttimt that this Information has been
placed in concise and satisfactory form at
the dispos'il of every citizen.
POLlOt DEPARTMENT.
Tho lioal adoption by tho honorable
councils of last year of the ordinance pro
viding the rules and regulations Tor the nd
mini iratiou of tho police department in
conformity with our present ennrternud
providing for the udditlon of ten more
men to the workiug force is most gratify
ing. While tho number of polisemen is
Still Intnfflclent to give the city proper
patrol service, which its population and
area might leasouably demand, the will -iugunss
of the councils to piovide, from
time to time, additional men is evidence
that tbey are awake to tbe importance of
maintaining the efficiency of this depart
ment. 'lhe duties of nil officer are not at all
times of the most pleasant character, aud
while it may nppeur that he is too exact
ing in the performance of that duty, we
mutt remember that implicit obeilienco to
the law among aomu classes ia eutlrety dn
peudant upon the activity and prompt
ness in the enforcement of thosulawsby
the officers ot this depurtmeut, and must
of necessity bo upheld by the authorities,
The efficiency uttaiued by this depart
ment is largely due to the untiring efforts
of the chief of police, who has devoted his
time and euergy with one object iu view,
which bus beeu to give the public the best
possible police service, with the limited
force at hiscummtnd.
During the early part of last year the
poiico quarters in the city building having
beeu completed we removed the First p:e
cinct from ill old quarters iu the ( 'eater
,-treet station into the now apartments.
The condition of their new quarters is ex
cellent, as is also that of the Second mid
Fourth Precinct station homes, but the
condition uf the Third rrntiuet or North
Eud station house, which is located iu the
basement of the building occupied by the
Liberty Hose company, is miserable ami
uuhealthy. The sanitary arrangements of
the house beiug poor, after every rainstorm
ihe Moor is Hooded with water. The Cen
ter Street station house, having lost itr
days of usefulness ss a police Station, mid
t.eiug located in Unit portion of tho city
which makes the lot desirable for tho locu
tion uf a business block, 1 would advise
your honorable bodies to direct the proper
autuorilits to dispose of said property and
devote the proceeds to the repairing uf the
Third Product station house and tue bal
ance to be used for the police department.
Tho total arrests duiing tbe past vear, as
is shown by the uiouthly reports submit
ted by the police department, to your hon
orable councils, was 1.021, Tho total Hues
collected through this department from
various sources was 04,i!!S.03, which has
been paid over to the treasury, as riquiro !
bylaw. This amount shows an iuci ease
of 88,818.98 cents over the preceding year,
NEW LEGISLATION.
During the past year, in attempting to
enforce iHe ordinances which provide for
Ihe cleaning of our sidewalks, the ubattng
of nuisances, the removal of ohstructtons
from Ihe public highways, the digging up
of our streets without a permit, aud the
enforcement ol the ordinance regulating
the election uf buildings within the lire
limits, it has been found iu many cae
that thote ordinances either baro no pen
alty attached or were so losely drawn that
they could not lie enforced.
There ie no qnettion of the statutory
power of the councils to pass ordinances
which will effectual ly regulate all timae
matters. But us r-oou us an effort is made
to enforce them they come under the
critical examination of experienced law
yers aud therefore the greatest cure nud
the highest professiouul ukill is necessary
in their ureparatiou. 1 would therefore
ask your honorable bodies to have these
ordinances referred to the judiciary com
mittee iu conjunction with tbeclty solici
tor to prepare the necessary ordinances to
lover these irregularities. It is highly im
portant that tins matter should be at
tended to at once and that not only in the
present case, but that in ull future legisla
tion ordinance having penalties attuclied
nud ordinances providing for the grading
of streets aud the construction of sewers
it be necessary for (hem to receive the ap
proval of the city solicitor before their
Dual passage through tne councils.
'Hare lias been considerable interest
manifested ou the part of our citizens us
to the advisability of taxing the pdesof
ihe various electrical compaulej which
are doing business iu the cltv,
Iu the consideration of t hi subject wo
must uot be unmindful of the fact, Qrst,
thai it was in tLu promoting ot some cf
tliese business enterprises lhat wo Were
aided to materially in the rapid and per
manent growth of our city, and second,
hat while mauy or these companies are
njoylOg free from all tuxat urn the valu
able fraurliiies gi nnifd them by the citv,
there is one company which is paying a
fair price for the privileges granted it by
the municipal authorities. 1 refer to the
BorantOU Uluminatlog, Hear, and Power
company, which is furnishing tbe city
building mid engine houses 1 tieir light at a
cost, I um Infoi nied, uf about j'J. 000 per
annum in consideration of tbe Iraucbisus
granted.
1 would suggest Hint it committee lo
appointed to wait upon the management
of the e various companies to deteriuiu
tho uctual number of pules necessary (1
mean by thi", a ci.se where .1 single pole
could be used iu common by two or more
cumpH.hif-1 and report tneir Hidings to
your honorable bodies, and upon that basis
pass au ordiuuuco providli.g lor a tax upr n
the excess. Ily this method we would re
move many of those polos which are Un
questionably a mar to the otherwise at
tractive appearance of many of our most
prominent thorouglilnroi.
1 also desire to urge upon your honor
able bodies the psssage of in Ordinance
compelling the Scruuton Traction company
to use tenders upon Its cars lor the belt
protection of tho lives of our citizens; also
10 regulate the speed at which it shnll ru n
its cars through tbostriets of the citv
and to prohibit the charging of double
fares within tlio city limits.
Our city ordinances are entirely lacking
in the regulation and restrictions which
It is customary with other cities to place
upon the tuiolic cau service tor tne protec
tion of tbe public in general and especially
lorthe beneut or strungers whom ousino's
cr pleasure brings Into our mld-t. Rumors
have recently come to me that it is a com
mon pi acne- with some ur uur local cub
men to churge strangers exorbitant rates,
which is not only nu injustice to the trav
eler, but also tu us es a city, and if allowed
tu continue will eventually Bttncll a repu
tation to the city Which It undesirable and
unnecessary. 1 therefore suggest, that tho
honorable councils pass ut tneir earlieat
couvenience nu ordinauce dealing with
this matter, which shall legulate the toll
rate lor cabs and also establi-di cab stands
nt convenient points throughout the city
slid provide penalties for tne violation uf
Its provisions.
As the citv of late has been either ac
quiring or negotiating for the possession of
lauds for public parks, I would recommend
that nn ordinance be passed relative to the
police regulations lor tbe prottctlou uf
oiiblio properly in these places.
As there li uoullict to some extent iu
certain provisions as embodied In the
building and tire limit ordinances, and us
tho expansion of the business portion of
the city would seem to necessitate the in
crease of the Ore limit for the better pro
lection of the business blocks in that sec
lion, 1 would suggest that tho matter bi
referred to the proper committee, with iu
structiutis to report an ordinance for the
purpose of enlarging the tiro limits ot ihe
city.
I submitted B proposition from the
Scratitou Electric Light and Heat com
puny, by its president, Mr. W. W. Scruuton
to the honorable councils of last year.
wherein ho olfers to sell to tho City of
Scrnutou the electric light plant of his
company, which is now furnishing the city
its light, for tWO huudred and fifty thou
and dollars. This proposition is well wor
I by of your most careful couslderation
mid I would suggest that your honorable
bodies uppoini a commlitee to inquire into
tne coudition ur the plant, tbo cost
maintaining it, uud report iheir findings
to your honorablo bodies, so wo might be
able to decide as to the advisability of
making the purchase,
The citizens hare soen lit to authorise
you to issue 8H5(l,ii()0 worth of bouds to be
used In the purchase of approaches and
the erection of bridges over the Lacka
wanna river and the Hearing brook. It is
vory important that in too erection of
these bridges we shall not exceed the
amount allowed, nor should we ever con -some
any time m tbe contemplation ol
plans wi.ich would plainly neoeesitate a
greater outlay thnti we are authorized to
make.
With the knowledge we posWttol the
cost of the approaches, We can easily de
termine the amount that will remain for
the building of the bridges proper, and
cause the plans and specifications i f the
said bridges to be drawn up accordingly,
Under any circumstances, however, wo
would not be warranted lu n, matter ot
such grave importance to proceed with
any undue haste. The most careful at
tention should he given to every detail of
the work and the cut fully determined,
before the city ahull enter into any con
tract making It liable for any amount in
excess ofthe tnm appropriated; for It It
by this method ulouu that the undertak
ing can bo carried through to completion
to the satisfaction of yourselves uud of the
public whom they are intended to s-rve.
In conclusion, 1 desire to tbtUK the hon
orable councils uf the past year for the
courtesy which has been BO Uniformly ac
corded me; and also to think the heads of
the various ilepattmunts for tho support
and the cheerful co-operation they bave at
all times given me in the discharge of the
duties of my office. I hope that the cor
dial relations Which have ex.sted during
the year just closed between tho chief ex
ecutive nu I the houorabl" Councils will be
continued during the ensuing year, with
the thought ever foremost lu our minds
that the business which we are hero to
transact for the public is an obligation
collided to us by our fellow-citicene, and
a responsibility which it is our duty to per
form. 1 am very tiuly your obedient servant.
