Pommon Councilman Oliver, of the Fifteenth ward, got his hundred-and-iit'ty-thousand-dollur viaduct scheme started last night In select council 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.

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.

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. Sniffer Claim Referred- On motion of Mr. Chittenden the bill of the Sniffer claim was referred to the judiciary committee for investigation. Ordinances reported favorably by the license committee imposing nn annual license of $50 on peddling business and $75 for auctioneers were referred for printing. 1 r ti An important rule was adopted upon the recommendation of the committee on rules.

Logan for trustees of the Scranton library for five years from Jan. 1 was confirmed. The mayor s nomination of J. W. Lisk for permanent man of General Phinney Kngtne com pany was confirmed. The street commissioner's request that $2,000 he transferred from some source to the exhausted appropriation for sewers and drains was referred to 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.

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. SCRANTON MAN HURT. Injured in a Konnwny Accident Near Montrose. C. P.
