M E ARS & HAGEN, 415 LACKAWANNA AVENUE "A FAIR FACE MAY PROVE A A PLAIN GIRL with the resolution of, common council providing that the city clerk advertise for proposals to light the municipal building and fire company houses. The company in its petition remlnHs'coun cils 'that when it secured IU franchise it agreed to light only ithe olty offices and three fire company iliouses, a total of seventy-two lights, but 'that now it furnishes free o the city BOO lights and illumination in six fire company houses. Tho company cites the present condi tion as unjust and mentions recent franchises given the Suburban Electric Light company and the Scranton Light Heat and Power company, from which companies the city receives no returns. The petition presents the company's willingness to furnisJi all the lights It originally agreed to furnish and to-pay its pole tax of $300 or submit to any other fair arrangement with the city. Considerable minor business was transacted before adjournment. I coy Aon council meeting. AlluooKu Annexation Meets with Favor in That Body. The project to annex a portion of Lackawanna township to the city In cited a good deal of oratory at last night's meeting of the common council. The matter came up when Chairman Hlckey, of the Judiciary committee, presented a report favorable to the an nexation of the territory. Captain Molr opposed the adoption of the re port. He was member of the commit tee, but refused to sign the report though not from any sinister motive. He thought that the matter should bt! carefully considered by councils, as it would necessitate the outlay of a great deal of money on the part of the olty to give the territory to be annexed the su.me conveniences and protection en joyed by other parts of the city. E. E. itobathan and Fred Godfrey opposed the annexation on the ground of the great expense 'to the city. They did not think the time was yet ripe for such an extension of the bouudei'les of Scranton. Buttle Grows Eloquent. D. 1 Battle and James F. Noone fa vored annexation. Mr. Battle ' made two speeches, in one of which lie lik ened Milnooka- to a Texas prarle. He ulso extolled the condition of the streets there, the willingness of its citizens to pay taxes and dwelt at length on the fact that M'lnooka was the birthplace of many men who are leaders in various walks of life. After tho spceoh making was over, the roll was called, and tho recommendations of the committee to allow Mlnooka to come in was adopted by the following vote: Yeas Golden, Grier, Regnn, McLean, Robinson, Sweeney, Neulls, Sehadt, Noone, Hlekey, Buttle, Norton 12. Nays Morris, Thomas, Itobathan, God frey, Molr, Wenzel, Howe, Duvles 8. Later an effort was made to have the ordinance reported by the committee called up and passed on first and sec ond reading, but the chair decided that it had not yet been introduced and that It would first have to go through that process and then be referred to commit tee and reported favorable.' Mr. Regan, of the Sixth ward, -intro duced an ordinance directing that on all work let by contract by the city the contractor shall pay trades men $3; rockmen, $2; and labor ers, $1.50. They will forfeit a sum of money, to be placed In the hands of the olty clerk, before the contract Is n ward ed, in case the provisions of the or dlnance are violated.
