FOR A PAID DEPARTMENT
Ordinance fussed on Two Readings
by Select Council.
THERE WAS SOME 01T0SITI0N
Ordlnaneo Creating a Sewor District on
tha South Sldo Passed Third Reading.
Argument on tho Ordlnaneo Fixing
lulform Rote of Wages.
Select Councilman W. 'M. Finn's ordin
ance for the establishment of a paid
lire department waa the first one re
oorted from committee at lost night's
.meeting of select council. The ordin
ance was called up in Its regular oruer
for consideration on first reading. Mr.
MoCann wanted information abuutj
when the ordinance was repuneu.
Mr Manley was the next speaker,
lie said that it .looked to him as if the
ordinance was 'Introduced for the pur
pose of raising Chief Knglneer Ferber's
salary, whom he said appeared to have
a penchant for having lils salary raised
since he became connected with the lire
department. Mr. Kellow bud a few
words to say against the ordinance and
stated that he would be in favor of a
paid tire department as soon as he could
be convtlR'.'ed that tihe present volunteer
department 'had outlived its usefulness.
For him the latter was good enough yet.
Mr. Sanderson lias 'been In favor of a
paid lire department since he came on
the council, but he questioned the wis
dom of creating one now when the esti
mated expense for the coming fiscal
year Is $7fi,000 more than the amount of
revenue that will flow Into the city
treasury. Mr. Finn said the appropria
tion for a paid lire department does not
exceed the one which It will take to run
the volunteer department, uny more
than a few hundred dollars. Mr. Man
ley's motion to Indefinitely postpone
was lost. The ordinance then went
through on first reading. Some of the
members tried to stop its progress any
further, but after a ehor't discussion the
ordinance passed second reading.
South Side Sewer Ordinucc.
After tihe reports of all the committees
had been heard Mr. Seliwenk moved
that council proceed to the eighth or
der of business to take up his ordinance
on third l eading providing for the crea
tion of the Seventeenth Main Sewer dis
trict on the 'Smith Side, embracing t'he
Klevetiuh, Twelfth and Nineteenth
wards. After the clerk read the ordin
ance Mr. Seliwenk calted It up on third
raiding and it went through without
a dissenting vote. Mr. Sehwenk then
hurried it across the hall to the common
council chamber
Mr. Koche called up the ordinance
providing for the establishment of a
public market pluce fuul-Hireatlng the
olllce of market clerk and It passed third
and final reading.
XI r. Sanderson called up the ordin
ance establishing the wages to be paid
by contractors receiving contracts from
the city of Scranton. Tin; ordinance,
when about to be passed on third and
final reading, was Intenrupted by Mr.
Manley, who presented a communica
tion from the Central Labor union. Tin
ordinance was amended In common
council; and as a result the provision
was stricken out which relatedto the
daily wages of skilled labor. The ordin
ance as It was read last night provided
that laborers shall receive not less than
J1.D0 a, day,, rocksmen, $2 a day; one
horse, $L'.7ii; and team of horses, $4 per
day. It was also amended In select
council. Mr. Sanderson arose to ex
plain that after giving the matter due
consideration ihe had decided to follow
the ordinance no further nnd he was
going to vote against the ordinance on
third reading. His reasons were that
it would be working an 'Injustice to the
taxpayers. Mr. Koche followed and
charged Mr. Sanderson with being1 in
consistent. On motion of (Mr. Slanley the body
went Into committee of the Whole and
Mr. Sehwenk took the chair. The com
mittee amended the ordinance, restor
ing the second section 80 as to make It
read that all mechunlcs shall receive
not lfsthan $:! a day. Mr. McCainn
was the only one voting against it
when It was called up aa amended. Ho
would like to see the section stricken
out that allowed those who had declared
their intention of becoming citizens to
work on city contracts.
Street Car Tax Ordinance.
Mr. Manley called up the ordinance
providing for the taking of all street
railway nars used within the city at the
rate of $5 each annunlly. On und after
the first Monday of April the city of
ficials will be empowered to collect the
license. The ordinance pussed third and
final reading.
An ordinance providing for the erec
tion and maintenance of an electric
light at the corner of Cuslck avenue
and Onk street passed final reading.
Mr. Lauer's ordinance providing for the
erection of a fire alarm box In the
Twenty-first wnrd on the cfrrner of
Kelser nvenue and Jnckson street was
cnlled up for final reading. The ordi
nance provides that the cost of the
box shall be transferred from the North
Main avenue paving fund. Mr. Thomas
stated that the above fund was ex
hausted, and the ordinance was, there
fore, out of order. Ily common consent
tho ordinance was laid over until the
next meeting.
Favorable reports from committees
were received on the following ordl
nances: Providing for nn electric light
In tho Eighth wnrd; for an electric
light at Alder street and the river bank;
for two electric lights In the Nineteenth
ward; for a sewer on the West Side,
beginning on North Main avcinuc at the
Mount Pleasant ravine thence to Jnck
son street, to Hyde I'nrk avenue; regu
lating the method nf giving out con
tracts for the printing of notices In the,
dally papers.
Common Council Meeting. .
With much difficulty enough of the
city fathers of the lower branch were

even then there was very little business
done.
Tho ordinance that passed final read
Ing In select council creating the Sev
enteenth sewer district on the South

relish this recommendation and re
fused to report the ordinance until they

tlon In relation to the building material
stored on Seventh street by a con
tractor engaged in business over there.
The street commissioner wns directed

FRONTAGE OF FIFTY-TWO FEET
Only a Short Time Ago the Property Was
Purcliuscd from the Scranton Savings
llank for Twenty-Four Thousund
Dollars Less Than Parke Gives.
W. G. Parke, of North Washington
avenue, yesterday completed negotia
tions for the purchase of the property
on which the Farout House, on Wash
ington avenue, stands. The considera
tion is $52,000.

NEW BOY AT ACADEMY.
I list Appearunco of James T. Powers as a
Kroinnun Star.
"The New Boy," a farce by Arthur
Law, was produced at the Academy of
Music lust night before a large audi
ence. It waa the first appearance here
of James T. Powers as a Frohman
star, and he was surrounded toy almost
the same company that gave the first
presentation of the farce In this coun
try at tha Standard theater, New York,
last September.
Mr. Powers assumes the character of
Archibald Rennlck, "The New Boy,"
in place of Willis Senile; It. F. Cotton
has succeeded W. J. LcMoyne as Felix
Roach, and Mr. Powers' wife, Rachel
Booth, supplants Jessie Busley as Nan
cy Roach. Otherwise the cast is the
su.me.
The farce its a most amusing one
and Mr. Powers evolves more laughs
from it than did Mr. Searle, the little
Englishman, who originally appeared
In the title role, but to do so he created
a. practically new conception of the
character of "The New Boy," in which
horse pluy and buffoonery have acon-
splcuous place.
As a mirth provoker Mr. Powers Is
more successful than Mr. Searle, but as
a genuine comedian he la much his
inferior. The compu.ny that appeared
at the Academy last night Is a capa
ble one throughout and gave a good
presentation of the farce.
HOW CAN YOU DO IT?
Where Do You Get Your Profit ?
These and similar questions are be
Ing asked us a dozen times a day since
we have been paying the cash rebate
of 10 cents on every dollar s worth
of goods bought at our store. There
are times when business Is done on a
very small margin and the present Is
one of thoce times. However, be that
us. It may, we will stick to our original
offer and give Ito every customer 10
cents on every lollur's worth pur
chased fixim us from now until March
1. Our Immense stock of canned goods,
teas, eoap, cigars, etc., etc., are all sub
ject to the above discount, also fresh
meats, and. In fact, everything we
handle, except sugar, flour, and feed.
Our prices without this discount are
already the lowest dtv the valley, and
are low enough, tout we make this
siechil .mld-wlnter offer, feeling sure it
will toe appreciated by some at least
and be no loss to us In the long run
Having no rent to pay, having facilities
for handling gooda at small cost, nnd
the large amount of goods we handle
make it possible for us to make figures
that would be out of the question for
every dealer to make.

When the advertising atmosphere is s
heavily charged with exaggeration, it
is well to remember who the honest
advertisers arc. Windy assertions about
GREAT reductions advertising goods
at impossible prices, And no lodging
place in the minds of intelligent people,
pull trade throughout Jhe legitimate
business season may make necessary,
wild statements from some clothiers to
attract trade, but the schemers will
have to scheme harder and lind new
disguises for their lame excuses before
they can stop the people from coming
to this store for honest values. The
triumph of this store is the triumph of
intelligence, and you have made it so.
Trade has been up to the mark here,
yet there's a touch of attractiveness in
the styles and assortments. We've add
ed another and more taking attraction
...REDUCED PRICES, natural order of
things here at this season; LOWER
PRICES than you find ELSEWHERE.
