MANY WEEK OX THE MOVE.
Urn y men Were Very .Much Sought After
Individuals Yesterday. I
Yesterdny was movlng-Uny the day ;
that was u horror to many housewives i
and families and a joy to the heiirtlessj
draymen, who In one day reaped a har- ,
vest greater than on any three ordin- ,
arv working, davs In the year. Thif
demand for suitable vehicles was many j
iln.es ereiiter than the supply ami in
consequence manual transportation was
resorted to before the day was ended
and all kinds of things on wheels from
baby carrlnges to garbage wagons' were
pressed Into service.
It was far and uwuy tho biggest
moving-day Scranton ever hud. the
chief reuson being traceable to the ab
normal Inrtux of families Into the city
for u year buck, who have been occu
pying temporary nuurters while wait
ing for desirable vacant houses. An
othet cause was tho unusually large
liunibe:' of changes in business Uu
tlons '
ordlnnrilly a largo, two-horse dray!
and two men can lie hired for $4 audi
hss per load, but yesterday the com- i
mon price was $r nnd $. and these !
Ilgures were obtained by only the wisej
......
who engaged their iirays nuiny ,
days ago. Persons who on Monday or!
Tuesday nt tempted to engnge trucks j
or men fuiunl their efforts almost fruit-
less, which explains the presence on the
streets yesterday of such a large num
ber of wagons ordinarily used by busi
ness houses, but temporarily engaged
In currvlng loads of household -goods.
In such cases It should be inferred1
that the wUgons were hired by those j
win
had u pull with the firm.
