open meeting of select council last
night. The bid of one of the companies
was not read nor was the firm name di
vulged from the fact that no check ac
companied the bid, which was evidently
submitted with the intention of getting
of a free advertisement.

the award, and the mayor will imme
diate call a special, joint meeting of
councils to hear the report.
Mayor Connell's veto of the bill of
$316.60 of York street viewers was con
firmed. The mayor explained in a com
munication that the city solicitor had
refused to approve the bill on the
ground that exceptions have been filed
to the viewers' report, which leaves
their work unfinished and makes a
settlement premature.
Appropriations Arc Exhausted.
A communication from the city soli
citor stating that the balance of $421.54
in the Judgment and incidental appro
priation is more than exhausted, by the
bills approved, to the amount of $500;
that the appropriation for repairing
fire company houses is exhausted, and
recommending the transfer of the via
duct appropriation of $10,000 according
to a previous request of Aug". 6, was re
ferred to committee.
A petition of property owners that
the roadway of Linden street be nar
rowed and the sidewalks widened be
tween Monroe and Clay avenues, was
granted.
The ordinance permitting the Scran
ton Traction company to double-track
Franklin avenue between Spruce street
and Lackawanna avenue passed third
and final reading, Members Finn,
Thomas. Durr, Connoll, Clemons and
Chittenden voting negatively.
Two amendments were made to the
ordinance giving the Scranton and
North End Street Railway company
the right of way over certain streets in
the North End. One amendment pro
vides that the streets must be kept In
proper condition by the company; the
other provides that by the passage of
the ordinance the city does not recog
nize streets as belonging to the city
which have not previously been ac
cepted by the city. The route of the
proposed street railway Is an extension
of the Scranton Traction company sys
tem and extends from Delaware Btreet
on Penn avenue to Sunset avenue, to
Washington avenue, to Olyphant road,
to boulavurd, to city- line; also, on
Columbia avenue, from Washington
avenue to the Boulevard.
An adjournment was made to meet
next Thursday evening.

AN OFFICIALJFIRE BOARD
Six Commissioners to Be Appointed
from the Two Councils.
1KB MAKSHAL RECOMMENDED
:
Paid Fire Department I'rged on Account
of Constant Strife and Clashing In Sev
eral Companies-Trouble In tho
Nay Augs and Franklins.
Following a conference held yester
day morning by the promoters of the
paid lire department Idea. It was de
cided to finish the proposed ordinance
and present It In select council at the
earliest possible day. It appears that
there are constant bickerings and
clashing of factions In several com
panies, and that In two Instances the
strife among members has assumed
serious proportions and argues for de
cisive action.'
The ordinance in preparation pro
vides for a board of six fire commission
ers to be appointed by the mayor and
to consist of three common and three
select councllmen, the board to contain
an equal number of Democrats and Re
publicans. The office of lire marshal
recommended by the board of trade, in
surance men and business men, will be
created either In the ordinance or in a
separate measure.
TrouHc in the Companies.
A Hatnple of the present unsettled af-
faiiB In several of the companies is
shown in the recent dismissal by the
Nay Aug Engine company of an up
polntrnent by the mayor.
Norman Griggs, secretary and treas
urer of the company, and recently ap
pointed stoker by the mayor, was dis
missed by the company about a month
ago. A dlsugreement over the details
of his treasuryshlp was the cause of
the trouble. Chief Ferber Instructed
Mr. Griggs to resume his position as
stoker. Mr. Griggs was Informed that
he was an appointee of the city govern
ment and was entitled to his position
until the mayor relieved him from duty
and councils ratified the chief execu
tlve's action.
A faction In the company took an op
posite view of the case while others
urged Mr. Griggs to remain.
The orders wer so coufuslne that
onglfs relinquished, his duties and (he
Nay Augs have been without a stoker
for a month. In the meanwhile certain
members of the company preferred
cnarges against Griggs with the muyor
while the latter, with his counsel. At
torney Vaughau, visited tihe mayor and
torn tne other side of the story. He
was instructed to retain his position
but under the circumstances has re
frained from doing so. The Nay Augs
win taKe further steps In the matter at
a meeting this evening.
Franklin's Two Factions.
It is an open secret that Franklin En
gine company Is controlled by two sets
of men; the one In the majority at a
meeting, rescinding the action of the
other faction at the meeting previous
ana vice versa. Members of several
companies scarcely speak to each other
on the street.
The la Instances mentioned were re
rerreil to yesterday und have been
talked about In fire circles for weeks.
