where, after much wrannIitiE'. It was
passed one reading and then sent to lh
streets and bridges committee to be re
ported again next Thursday tiiht.
i inly eleven of the members. Just a
tiunrum, responded t tin roll-cull.
President Westpfuhl was absent, and
Mr. Siinderson, of the Thirteenth ward,
wua uuunimously chosen president pro
Inn. on motion of .Mr. Lansing. Dur
ing the reudlng of the minutes live
tardyinembersentciedthe chamber und
mado the total number present sixteen.
The viaduct ordinance was presented
by Mr. Williams, of the Fifth ward. Its
title provides "for Increasing the city
debt for the purpose of procuring lund
for and constructing a viaduct parallel
with West- Lackawanna avenue from
Seventh street to Ninth street und sub
mitting the question of such increase to
a vote of theeleetors thereof." The

of the election hereby authorized in three
dally newspapers of the city, and the

notice shall be furnished by the city con
troller. Referred to Committee.
The ordinance being printed, Mr. Wil
liams moved it be referred to tne streets
and bridges committee to be reported
forthwith, which proposal created a de
termined objection from Mr. Chitten
den, although favorable action was
taken by a vote of II) to 4, as follows:
Ayes Members Thomas. Williams,
Clark, Itoche, Sanderson, Hums, Coyne,
Lauer. McCann anil Fellows; nays
Durr, Chittenden. Schwenk and Munley.
Further objection was made by Mr.
Chittenden after the committee had re
ported favorably and Mr. Williams
moved Its passage on first reading, Mr.
Chittenden averred that options mid not
been secured on affected property and
that it was poor business policy to rush
through an ordinance providing for an
expenditure of $150,000. even though It
was to go no farther than a second read
ing. Mr. McCunn referred to tho reso
lution of the common branch directing
the city engineer to make plans and es
timate the cost, the estimate to be bused
upon options secured by u committee
composed of tho mayor, city controller
and city solicitor.
City Engineer Phillips was In the room
and asked If hlsestimate had been based
on options. He replied partly In the af
firmative and partly In the negative and
explained that he had mude his report
in compliance with the resolution In
view of the fact that the committee of
officials had not reported to him. Mr.
Williams' motion that the measure pass
first rending prevailed.
Mr. McCann opposed Mr. Chittenden's
motion that the ordlnnnce be referred
to committee for further Investigation
of cost, but was satisfied when Mr. Chit
tenden stiptilaV'd In his motion that the
committee make its report at next
wiek'n meeting.

On motion of Mr. Chittenden the bill
of the Sniffer claim was referred to the

sideration of such ordinances on first
and second readings In the third order
of business.
The streets and bridges committee's
reeommendutlon that the name of Fel

man of General Phinney Kngtne com
pany was confirmed.

that $2,000 he transferred from some
source to the exhausted appropriation

the sewers and drulns committee with
instructions to prepare an ordinance
providing a transfer of funds if pos
sible. A communication from City Knglneer
Phillips, sent at the request of Common
Councilman Keller, of the Seventeenth
ward, stated that the approximate es
timate by the foot front rule for the
Irving avenue sewer failed to Include
the corner lot No. 12, Block 37, liable for
$103, which increased the assessments
of forty-foot lots $18.72. which the own
ers refuse to pay. Ilecause Mr. Mln
nlck. owner of the lot. had been previ
ously assessed for a branch Bewer, the
city engineer recommended that the city
pay the last assesment. The letter and
its accompanying resolution was re
ferred to committee.

ment of the city hall were submitted by

WILL BE. REORGANIZED.
Choral I'nion and Cfmrodorlon Singers
to Meet Wednesday.
Next Wednesday evening in Railroad
Young Men's Christian association hall
the Scranton Choral I'nion, which won
the $j,(KI0 prize at the World's Fair Eis
teddfod in IMKI, will be reoi'Kanixed.
Members of the Cyinrodorlon Society
will be asked to Join with the members
of the Choral I'nion In forming: an or
ganization to be composed of 1100 picked
Voices.
The primary object In reorganizing
the choir is to rehearse Handel's great
oratorio, "Messiah," which will be sung
In this city about Easter time for the
benefit of the Railroad Young Men's
Christian association building and fur
nishing fund. Where the oratorio will
be sung in this city bus not yet been de
cided upon. Professor Haydn Evans
will be the conductor of the new choir
and In speaking ubout its reorganization
lust night he said:
"It Is the Intention to produce the
'Messiah' in the very best manner pos
sible and with a full orchestra accom
paniment. We have the voices here and
1 think we can give the oratorio In a
way that will be gratifying to the pub
lic. There have been muny requests
that a large, permanent choir be organ
ized here and If the public shows a de
sire to support such an organization it
will become permanent ufter ve have
sung the "Messluh."
There Is a strung possibility that the
choir will also sing the "Messiah" in
Hlnghumton, Hufl'alo and possibly one
or two e'her places for the benefit of the
Kullroud Young Men's Christian asso-
i elation building and furnishing; fund of
; this city, but that matter has not been
j definitely decided upon us yet. It is
thought, however, that a large sum of
money could he raised for this) worthy
I object by such a series of concerts.
The outlook ut the present time for a
I new Railroad Young Men's Christian
I asssoclatlon building is very bright at
! present and Secretary Penrsall. of that
association, said yesterday that by next
summer he expected to see the associa
tion housed in a new and more connno-
dious building erected on the site of the
I present structure. Plans originally
drawn for the building are now being
revised.
