We, Prohibitionists of Scrunton, in city convention assembled, Jan. I'll, IsiHi, 'e. solve that we are in favor of the oblitera tion of national and state party lines In niuniclpul elections. We believe good clti xens should unite to elect municipal olll cers who will honestly and fearlessly en force all laws without regard to party advantage or personal ambition for fur ther political preferment.

Hut while the old and corrupt parties continue 4o divide good citizens In clly elections, and thus foster bud government, we are bound to maintain our orgunlxa tlon und nominate a ticket representing our principles, but at the same time nut put forward as purtlzuns All Intelligent people know that under existing state laws there can be no prohibition in a city election further than that obtained by an enforcement of the laws. We call attention to the fact that no clly candidate yet nominated hus promised, either by party plntform or personal ut terance publicly delivered, to enforce all our laws. We pledge the nominees of this convention, If elected, to a Just anil Impar tial enforcement of all laws, and we Invite the help of our fellow-citizens not for the uggrandixemeiit of uny partv or the ad vancement of any person nominated, but for the welfare of our city.

Gentlemen: I beg to submit the fol lowing in mv report for the year ended .Inn. 31, lSfi. Th twenty-sixth year In the history of the Scratiton board of trade lias rolled hv atid we have now entered upon the twenty-live year of Its Incorpora tion. For a iptjrter of a century has tills liodv rcprencntcd everything that tended to the solldltv or added to the Importance of the cltv of Si-rumon. It litis seen the won derful growth of the city, from a swampy WlldellltKS pit the tlliT? the "frog opera" gave Its nightly concerts on the site of the present court liousel to one of the most Important cities in eastern Pennsyl vania. What part has this board taken in all this? 1 cun answer thut question with out fear of contradiction. It has bn-n Identified wllh every step ill the city's advancement, mid directly or Indirectly hns its inlliieiice been felt In every stuye of progress made. Rut it Is not my puroose in this brief report to more than refer to the past. I desire to conline myself to the work done and things accomplished during the year Just closed. New Industries Located Here. In my last report reference was made to one or two Industrial matters that the manufacturers committee were at thru time considering, one of which whs the Eureka Cash Register company, who were at that time located ut KImlru, N. Y. Since then they have located here, ami arc now In successful operation, employing fifty people. Another matter then In th" hands of this committee whs the removal of the llonesdale Iron works to Scranton, AlthoiiKh the main object has not been accomplished, yet, In February, 1S.", a company whs organized, called the Na tional Elevator und Machine company. This corporation acquired the property of the Itonesdalu iron works at Honesdnle, Ph., and opened olllees in this flty. JtJs, Ihe purpose oi tills company to move man works here at an early tiny. At our February meeting the manufacturers' committee reported that "arrangements had been completed for the erection of n large silk mill on the South Side, to be operated by James Simpson & Co., of Pat erson, X. J." During the year this mill has been erected, and Is now about ready to begin operations. They will employ not less titan 4WI hands. In August this same committer consid ered n proposition for the removal oT Ihe Dickinson Law school to this city. This project met with considerable opposition from the people ut Carlisle, I'u,, where the school Is now located, which defeated the project so far us the main school was concerned. However, through out efforts mi auxiliary of the school was opened here Oct. 1, with quarters In the St. Thorrms' college building, on Wyoming avenue. Home of our most prominent lawyers were regularly engaged us lecturers, and with the assistance of "Dean" Trlcketl, of tne Carlisle school, who lectured here on" day each week, the school nrosoered and closed its first term with twenty-two stu dents. About the Dickinson l.nw School. Prior, however, to opening the school after the holiday vacation, Hon. Alfred Hand, president of the local board of di rectors, becoming cognixant of the fact that the. Idea ofmnving the entire Dickin son mw school here, ns was llrst Intended, had been abandoned, and feeling thnt the Scranton public would not be satisfied with merely an olTslioot of the school, tendered his resignation. After considerable corre spondence with Mr. Trlckett It was decid ed not to reopen the school In Scrunton. It was further derided thut the students who had entered the school here could llnish the course nt Carlisle free of charge. .Most of the students accepted this offer, and ure now attending the Carlisle school, Negot la lions ure now pending with the faculty of Lafayette college, with the in I in view of continuing the school here us the Lafayette Law school. What is destined to become one of Scrnn. ton's most Important Industries Is ;h Colllng-Hule Manufacturing company, who, through our efforts, located her, and are now manufacturing upholstered furniture In the plant formerly occupied by the Scranton Caramel company. They commenced operation Dec. 1, with fifty skilled mechanics. At the present time they are buying their frames from outside parties. In the fiuure the company pro pose to make them at their putnt here, thus employing many more hands, and, I am assured by the promoters, that within a year they w ill have a pay roll of ut least 10 men. At a conservative estimate we have been directly instrumental In bringing to Scran ton within the past twelve months indus tries employing hands, and this with out the il ill of home capital, la most in stances our natural advantages were suf ficient to Induce outside capital to come here, so, In that respect, It has been a double udvantnga to our city, und would Indicate n healthy, substantial und steudy growth and a bright future. Our Industries Prosperous. . During the year with but one or nossl- bly two exceptions, our industries have lieen In continual operation. Some of them reasonably busy, while others have been obliged to work extra time In order to llll orders. Owing to nn enorniomi In. crease in business the Sauquolt Silk mills were obliged to build a large addition to their plant, making It one of the large 1. if not Ihe largest, silk mill In the ln!ted States. This was also true of the Lack awanna mills and Axle works, they being obliged to ndd largely to their facilities. The Hnnta Plate Class company have, during the year, completed a large plunt at Monsie for the manufacture of plate glass under Mr. Bonla's patents. Several successful tests I understand have recent ly been made, ami the promoters are san guine of ultimately being able to put on the market beautiful designs of plate and embossed glass that will excel In beauty and finish anything before known, and at a much less cot than can at present be attained under Ihe old pro"ess. A com pany has also been formed for the manu facture of glass pipe under tho putents of the same gentleman. It Is understood that they will erect large works at Priceviilo on the properly of Dr. II. If. Throop. who is a large stockholder in both companies. The manufacturers' committee aro now negotiating with the Itloomshurg Cir company for the removal of their plant here. The prospects are encouraging, and in the event of sucrcfs no less than SflJ men will he employed in the manufacture of mine, freight, coal and street cars. What have we done In other lines? I will simply refer to some of them. First we secured the passage of a lire marshal bill by our lee!slature and an ortltnancu is now on Its way through councils creat ing the office. resolution passed by this board on April 1", requesting the councils to enact an ordinance compelling th Traction company to put safety fenders on all their curs, under penalty If they neglected do ing so, resulted in the passage of such nn ordinance. Today every enr Is equipped with a good fender, anil not a fatal acci dent has since happened, hut In several In stances they have been the means of sav ing the lives of those unfortunate enough to be In the way of a passing car. , Weather Signals Itlsplavrtt. Since June 1 weather signals have ben displayed from the court house end a fu'l fledged local weather bureau has brcn In augurated, which Is conducted by o.ir worthy member. Mr. H. K. Paine. A full et of Instruments were secured from th government, and tMegrams received r.irh day. giving the forecast of the weather for the succeeding twenty-four hours. lie ports .re sent to the w caller bureau pt Philadelphia each month, and the dis play of the signals has become a matter of daily discussion. During the year our ch"ap fuel advan tages have been extensively advertised throughout the United Stales, and even In Europe. In the November number of Casler's Magazine appeared an article by Nelson W. Perry, of New York, de picting In an able manner the vast amount of Inert energy stored In our culm bnnkf, and comparing the cost of electric power here with that at Niagara, showing it to , he largely In our favor. The same num ber contained nn Interesting and able r tlcle uu tscranton from the pen of Miss dusan E. Dickinson, which dealt with 'he nodal.' educational mid. industrial propo sition uf Sciautun In a way that could not but imimsH the outside world with our wonderful strides In these directions, Another article uppeared in the Engineer ing Xews of Dec. 3ii, which was even more favorable to Scranton than the I'errv ar ticle. These have all been commented upon by the press throughout the coun try, and II is my belief that there Is no city In the land to which the attention of tho industrial world is today lieing at tracted more than Scranton. What the ultimate result of all this expenditure of energy and money will be remains to be seen, nut It is my cunuiu opinion inai u will fur exceed our moat sanguine expect atlons. Jlunv matters of Public concern and Im portance have been considered by the board dining the year Just pussed. The most notable being mo puDiic market anil pa I lit lire department questions. Hoth of those matters have been -considered ut length, and now only awult the action of the councllj to assure tnese most neeueu improvements. Hoard of Trado Building. The most Important step ever taken by this board was the one that promised the new building now In course of erection on Linden street. In my last report 1 sain "The matter was well under way and be fore another year rolls around we will no doubt, have a permanent home a board of trn-le building that will be a cred it to the dtlueiiH of this city ami a nionii. mcnt to the gen I and energy of the mem hers of the Scranton board of trade.'

Respectfully submitted, D. H. Atherton, Secretary. On motion of Mr. Lansing the report was ordered printed in a handy form for distribution.
