Friday's Meeting Tolled the Kocll of
Many an Improvement. '
HUMECTS THAT HAVE TO WAIT
Contemplated Improvements to the
Extent of $135,000 Shelved by
Keason of the City's Lack of
the Necessary Wherewith.
(Vilttemplated Improvements to the
extent of about $l:!5.000 will ro a bi-R-pitiK
this year as a result of the scar
city f city revenues. Some if them
can well be dlsreRarded. some can be
Rotten along without very nicely, some
are necessities, which must be pro
vided for at some future time and a
great ninny more are crylni? necessities
which. If they are not provided lor, win
raise a howl in one iiuurter or unother.
Kuch of these contemplated improve
ments has one or more councllmen nt
its buck, and they vow dire thins if
their pet schemes nre not considered.
The CHtimsitcH committee ufter provid
ing for the running expenses of the
municipal Kovernmi'nt lluds that there
Is just $I4U.U2 with which to satisfy the
demands of these cniMicilmen, and it
tells them "you are welcome to what's
left nnd much Rood may it do you."
This kind of language la not relished by
the t'ouncilmeii in question and as u
consequence it Is very likely that the
eslltiiutes committee may have some
trouble infliaviiiR their appropriation
ordinance approved when It gets Into
councils.
The Koitrth ward men will be up in
arms because $800 was not set aside for
the culvert over the Mt. Pleasant ra
vine. conucctliiK the present culvVrt
over Main avenue with the covered
drain built by the Mt. I'liitsiint t'oal
company. An ordinance for sewerinR
portion of the Fourth ward. Yorth of
Lafayette street Is one of tile mensifres
recently pushed through councils .by
the Fourth ward men. The plans
speeirv that the sewer shall empty Wito
this ravine. The board of health has
set Itself nitalnst permitting this un
less the ravine is covered over, so. unless-
the culvert Is built, the sewer is
an Impossibility. The culvert won't be
built, nt least not this year, and ergo,
the suffering residents of the contem
plated new sewer territory will howl.
OPKNIXO I'P OK PRICE STUKET.
Tp in the higher portion of the
Fourth the taxpayer will make
themselves heard when it Is seen that
they are again denied the boon they
have been asking for ten years back
the opening of Price street, between
Hiomlcy and Sumner nvenuefl. Uvery
year almost the councllmen of that
ward sometimes backed by a citizens'
committee, have uppealed to the city
fathers for siiftlcient money to carry
through this improvement. Kach time
they have been told to wait until next
year. Their hopes were rajsed to a
high pitch this year when they learned
that options had been secured on the
property needed for opening the street
and In order that the project might not
suffer from neglect or be possibly over
looked n citizens' committee with At
torney C. K. Pitcher at its head was
appointed to haunt the estimates com
mittee nnd keep prodding It until It
could not well say nay. ltut tiie esti
mates committee did say nay and Price
street will nut lie opened.
Then along comes Joe Oliver, the
commoner from the Fifteenth, with u
demand, not n request, but II bold un
mistakable demand for $2.1H to llnlsh
the botch work grading of Luzerne
street, which botch work was the result
of the citv's failure to require tne coli
tractnrs to finish the Job according to
speellicutions. "If we don't get tho
two hundred and fifty." say these Lu
zerne street people, "we will huve the
grand Jury on you." Hut they won't
get It unless the estimates committee
nmenilH Its work of Friday night, and
there Im a pervading feeling among thv
members of this committee that It 18
best "to leave well enough alone."
THAT SOI'TH S1DR SKWEtl.
The South Side will suffer as much,
if not more, than any other section of
the city. Plttston avenue and the
other periodically flooded portions of
the Nineteenth ward wanted, or at
least a majority of the property hold
ers wunted to build a sewer and a new
district was designed to accommodate
them, nnd plans were made for sewer
ing the portion that was In need of a
sewer. Owing to the fact that 'the
Lacknwanna Iron and Coal company
would have to pay a big shnre of the
expense it hnd the system of assess
ment iwstinned In court, and as every
body knew it would he, the system was
declared Illegal and the sewer was
knocked In the head, court maintain
ing. In line with a recent Supreme court
decision that the whole sewer would
have to be built at once or at all events
the cost of mains and laterals through
out the entire district should be di
vided pro rata among all the property
holders .of the district.
This fool law or construction of the
law of course killed the new sewer
as It practically kills the construction
of sewers in this city for all time to
come or until such time as the law
Is repealed, which will probably be
done nt the next legislature. There
being no clause In the Supreme court's
decision that will enjoin water from
running down hill nnd lodging In low
level pluces. the people of this district
who suffer much damage nnd no end
of annoyance after each rain storm
have, through their representatives in
councils, asked the pity to build a pipe
drain to carry olT the water and con
vey it to Stafford Meadow brook. This
will remedy the evil to a great degree.
City Kngineer Phillips considers it n
good plan and says It will only cost
7.10X.L'ti. The estinintes committee has
been nsked to take cognizance of their
modest request, but the estimates com
mittee's stereotyped answer Is met
with. "If you can lake it out of $140.02,
it's yours."
PIPK CI LVKTIT IS YVAXTRD.
Then, again down In the Twentieth
ward they wunt a L'l-inch tdpe culvert
nt the intersection of Ceoar avenue and
Heech street, which City Fngineer
Phillip! estimates will cost $L'S6.iX
They also want the city to pay $1,320 for
the grading of Palm street, which is
one of the worst eyesores in the city.
Two new bridges to cross Stafford
Meadow brook are nlso provided for
by ordinance, one on Washington nve
nue flntn and unother up nt Irving ave
nue. The first will cost $:!.0K0; the lat
ter will cost several times $::.oun, but
the exnet figures cannot be stated yet
(js the city engineer has not figured It
nil. inese innigs mo mhuiii Mule
will get not, and from the South Side
will come a wail.
Down Tlellevue way there Is also oc
casion for kicking. There is a little
Item of $11,000 for a retaining wall
along the east side of Third street in
the Sixth ward, which the people there
about say they cannot get along with
out. Mr. Noone promised to build a
viaduct across the Delaware, Lacka
wanna nnd Western tracks between
Seventh and Meridian streets, and this
they also claim they cannot get along
without. Rut It is likely that these
constituents will have to learn how to
get along without these things.
The North Knd wanted a permanent
man and a team of horses for the
Niagara Hose company and they also
wanted several hundred dollars to
spend on repairs at the Providence sta
tion house, but they didn't Bet it.
NO MONEY TO BUT THE LAND.
Pine Urook asked for $.1.'i00 to buy
land that Wyoming avenue might be
opi ned to its full width between Phelps
nnd OaU streets. This Improvement
was prayed for several years ago and
lias been the subject of petition of the
people of that Immediate vicinity ever
since. Councilman Roche had no end
of bother In getting an option on the
property and then in getting the
mayor's approval. His trouble is the
only reward for his pains. - The $2.ri0
does not appear among the items in the
appropriation ordinance.
Councilman Keller has as much
cause t'er grief as any of them, but
he Is taking his trouble in a phllosophl
cal manner, which is. no doubt, the
proper light in which he should view
them, inasmuch as he la one of the
men who were foremost in framing the
appropriation ordinance as it now
stands. He wanted to have Vine
street. Irving avenue and Fcrber court
opened through the irregular plot of
land on which are located the proper
tics of Messrs. Oehreus. Kiefenhcrg and
McCarthy. This plot was surveyed
and laid out about half a century ngo
and the pint In question blocks the
three throughfares which have extend
ed themselves to this point. It would
cost llti.OOrt to open Vine street, and $600
additional to open Ferber court. hat
it would cost to open Irving avenue has
not been ofliclally estimated as yet.
These streets will have to cease. grow
ing for a year at least.
Last fall the city ran a sewer through
these properties. The property hold
ers were very indignant at this pro
ceeding, but finally compromised for
$110 apiece. There Is no Item of $1."i0
to settle this claim, and the Judgments
nnd Incidentals fund which might be
held responsible for it was cut dow n
fiVm $.10,000 to $14,000. which is not
half enough. Controller Wldmayer says
to meet the more pressing demands
upon it. I his possibly means a law
suit.
SPRCCR STREET PAVF.MENT.
One very regret able omission was the
committee's failure to provide the nec
essary $i0tl.r.0 lor the repairing of the
wood-block stretch on Spruce street be
tween Franklin and Wyoming avenues.
The abutting property holders are not
responsible for the repaying of the
street but as it is so absolutely neces
sary and so greatly desired by the
property holders, they huve agreed to
bear oue-hulf the cost If the city will
immediately proceed with the work.
Wood block Is their fate for another
year unless they pay for the whtde
thing themselves and this they can
nanny ue expected to do.
Of the' viaduct over Tripp's crossing
ami the parK at l lipn s woods and the
Allen and Duvles' vacant plot, corner
or Main avenue and price street null
ced.
The proposed addition to Nay Aug
purk. by the annexation of the Rey
nolds' trait, costing $!.1.S0. and the
t'nnavan's tract, costing $2.",000. are also
things of the dim, distant future. No
one was particularly Interested in the
Item of $2a.000 for strengthening the
trusses and paving the deck of Lacka
wanna avenue bridge but the fact did
not save It from the fate of all other
special improvements.
Separute cells for female prisoners at
the central station house have not been
provided for notwithstanding the anx
iety of a large number of aggressive
ladles who circulated n petition for the
same.
CAPTAIN LOST HIS REPORT.
The board of trade said we must have
a fire marshal and sent .Captain May
to the estimates committee meeting to
enforce Its demand. The captain who
has served on estimates committees
himself, learning of the city's distress,
refrained from asking for the fire mar
shal and contented himself by asking
that the ordinance creating the office
be so amended as to allow the chief of
police or the chief of the fire depart
ment to assume the lire marshal's du
ties and powers.
The ordinance Increasing the fire
men's pay from $"i0 to $60 a month was
also a victim, not to mention the paid
fire department, the swimming pool at
Nay Aug purk, the opening of the new
road to meet proposed free plank road
to Ablngton. the repairs of the Newton
turnpike. North Main aveuuo, Kast
mountain road. Providence turnpike
and many other affairs of minor im
portance which have had their obitu
aties written before.

COOKINC SCHOOL OPEHED
First Lecture of tbe Scries Delivered
by Mrs. Sarah T. Korcr.
TOOK THE E(iU AS HEK SUBJECT
After Explaining Ita Nutritious Oualitles
Sho Gave an Interesting Talk on
Palatable Ways of Preparing
the l eg for the Table.
Mrs. Sarah T. Rorer. the famed head
of the famed Philadelphia Cooking
school, began in this city yesterday
afternoon the first of a series ot lec
tures which will be continued each day
this week In the vacant store room
next the store of Foote & Shear, on
Washington avenue. The lectures are
being given under the auspices of the
young ladies of the First Presbyterian
church, and If yesterday's attendance
is any criterion, standing room will ul
most be at a premium throughout the
week. As many as l'..0 ladies, repre
setiting the best known element In the
city, were present.
From seeing and hearing Mrs. Rorer
It might be Inferred that the success
she has attained -omes as much from
her attractive personality as from her
splendid cookery. Certainly the two
combined personality as from her
splendid cookery. Certainly the two
combined won for her at the first lec
tine a wrapt attention and Interest
which bid fair to spread to much great
er proportions before the week Is end
ed.
"The Food Value of Eggs and their
Cookery," was the subject of the open
ing lecture. Preceding the practical 11
lustrations Mrs. Rorer gave, as she will
on euch day, an introductory talk on
the matter in hand. In a half hour she
told more about the simple egg than
most of her hearers imagined could be
learned of soups and deserts. Eggs,
she said, permit of no end of variety In
preparation, although it Is generally
ana meanly said of this very staple,
Healthful and cheap food thut it per
mlts of only boiling, scrambling, frying
and poaching, and she bore out her
assertion later by preparing and giving
recipes for eggs in several delectable
forms. She explained the strength
giving properties of eggs as a food ami
recommended them highly for such
purpose. Following are the recipes
given;
MRS. RORER'S RKCITES.
Otnlet Bent 'three exgs without separat

SHE EXPLAINS THEM FI'LLY.
However complete the recipes may he

with nearly "as much Intelligence as
would be the case If accompanied by
Mrs. Rorer's side-talk and explana
tions. Each remninlng lecture will begin
at L'.SO o'clock In the afternoon. The
recipe and other books and magazines
of Mrs. Rorer nre on sale nt each lec

crowd each other and In one continual
roar of laughter and applause from the
