S. B. PRICE ON THE
TURNPIKE CASE
City's Special Attorney Gives His Inter
prctation of the Case.
DIFFERS FROM ATTORNEY WATSO.YS
lloiv Ju1i'i Opinion is !-
rcivril Ironi Hip il Standpoint.
Tln Turnpike People Lose Their
I'mur-'iiiM- ou "rtei-t Market Street,
in the Opinion of Attorney Priee.
In resjionse ti a request for his In
tcrpi elation of Justii'e tireen'n opinion
in the West Market street mutter, S. It.
I 'rice. Kpei lal attorney fur the city, yes
terday loinmunieatid to The Tribune
the following:
"In order to understand the matters
at issue h' tween the city of Scranton
and the I'lnvldenc iirnj Arlington Turn
pike company, it is necessary that thi
reader know the facts count cted with
the controversy since Its inception.
"In ISXii the Turnpike company placed
two or three nates within the city lim
its which were an Inconvenience to the
trnvclinjr public. The olllcers of the
company recoRiiii'.ed this and submitted
u proposition for adjustment to the
councils of the city. In substance It
was: 11) That the city of Scranton
should keep the road in repair from the
stone bridge across I.eSKett's creek to
the siuiare in Providence; c'l that the
city should provide suiliclent fence nnd
guards for all d.ini;crciiis places and
keep them in repair, and that lh" city
should indemnify the company for any
expense and danuiKe that nilKht arise
on account of uny net;lipcnco in the
premises. In consideration of these
obligations to be taken on the part of
the city the Turnpike company agreed
to remove the prates.
T1IK AGKKKMKXT siadu,
"The city accepted this ' proposition
by nn ordinance regularly adopted, and
an BKreeincnt was executed between tlie
company and the city, li.v that con
tract the company aurced not to main
tain a pate upon that portion of the
road between the stone bridge over Leg
gctfs creek and the square in Provi
dence. The city stipulated, on Its part,
to keep that portion of the road In as
good order and repair ns the company
were under obligation to keep it. to pro
vide and maintain proper fences and
guards where necessary, and to In
demnify the company for all manner
of expense, damage or liability accru
ing by reason of any negligence in the
repair of the fund.
"The evident inteiltlon of the Turn
pike company was to place the road in
the hands ot the city for repair and
maintenance and be relieved from all
obligations which the law imposed upon
them with regard to the road, and at the
same time In hold the franchise for the
collection of toll over that part of the
road. This Is not an unfair Inference
because the subsequent conduct of the
company proves that that was the In
tention. Indeed, tile company has re
cently restrained the laying of a sewer
in ibis street, it did afterward charge
toll for the full mileage of the road to
the square In Providence, and the city,
for some niiMiii unknown to me, neg
lected to repair the load in accordance
w ith the terms 'of the contract.
"Suit was brought for damages. There
were two questions raised on the irlal
of the case: (11 The validity of the
contract: and (J) wnetm r the nmount
i Li inn l to have been expended on tho
li ad by thciompuny hail been used for
that purpose. The judge before whom
the case was tried reserved the question
us to the vulldity of the contract, and
afterwards decided that It was valid.
The amount of damages suffered hy the
o'linpany by reason of the neglect of the
city to repair, was submitted to the
jury. The company claimed about
fi.im to $4,.'i"i, and the Jury found u ver
dict for
VALIDITY OK T i 1 14 fONTK.U'T.
"The lemil question as to the validity
id the contract would not have arisen
hud the company construed the con
tuicl as It Is now lull rpiv.ed by tno
Supn nie cotirl. There is nu act of as
sembly which aiithorizi s a i lly to agree
with a turnpike company for the pur
chase of the franchise of a road, and if
the parties
be appoint'
propel I y of
comh'inncil,
the llama!;'
llellllUltioll,
laiinot agree viewers may
I. nniler the law, and the
the company In the road
and after Hie payment id
s occasioned by the cuii
the road then becomes a
city sued.
"In deciding that tiie contract was
valid. Judge iiicl'herson did not con
strue the conti.ii t to menu that the road
was tried from the franchise of Hie
company so far as the contract appliid
to it. bill left the question of construc
tion open as to whither It was par
tially a city street and partially a turn
pike road. Tin :i a in urgiiment in lie
Mipreme court, therefore, was upon the
question as to whether a public high
way could lie both a turnpike road and
a city street.
"As I construe .lud-.'e Clreen's opinion,
it is In the effect that it cannot, lie
deliiied ,the contract to mean that the
Turnpike company surrendered thai
portion of Its loud between Leggetts
crick and Providence square to the city,
mul the city took the road as a public
street and assumed the responsibility
for its repair and maintenance under
the same liability us the other streets
oi the city. The language of the opln-
Ion is: "This repair should be done by
the city because, after the contract the
subject was no longer a private turn
pike, but was exclusively a city street,
llence in no aspect of thecase can we re
gard this transaction as a mere engage
ment by the city to keep In repair a
private turnpike. These considerations
eliminate the chief contentions of the
learned counsel for the appellant and
also the authorities upon which he re
lies." so porirr ahopt it.
"This construction of the contract
brings It within the terms of the statute
relating to the subject, and under such
construction there can be no doubt
about Us validity.
"The company served notice upon the
city that the municipality should repair
the street or the company would pro.
coed to do so, and the street conimls
slonro replied that he Intended to repair
me street in question and notified the
company not to improve It. This ac
tion of the city oillclal assumes the ob
ligation to re;ialr and under the Inw
and the conduct of the parties the city
liir.v becomes responsible for any dam
ages which may be occasioned to any
person by reason of negligence in the
care and reparation of the road.
' "There Is no difference of opinion as
to the validity of the contract. The
contention now will be as to whether
the portion or the rond between Leg
getts creek and Providence square Is
still subject to the right of the company
to charge tolls. 1'ndcr the opinion of
Juds;e Oreen. I believe Its right ceased
with the execution of the contract.
"The result of the litigation Is. ns
understand it, the city obtains that
portion or tne roan, t which the con
tract applies, as a public street freed
from the franchise of toll, and must
hereafter maintain and care for It us
a public street, a consumatlon which
wns devoutly uesireu and linally Is ef.
fected."

THIRD STORY FOR
THE COURT HOUSE
Plans
of the Exterior Adopted by the
County Commissioners.'
DRAWN BY ARCHITECTS LACEY & SON
The Improvement ill Xol Kvcccd iu
CokI $7.1.000 Superior Court
Kooiu Will Uc Provided uud Heller
Accommodation lor Jnror--V ork
Mill He Ucgun in About Sit Weeks.
Oounty Commissioners S. W. Rob
erts. Viiles Huberts and John Demulh
decided yesterday to adopt the plans Oi
Architects L-scey & Son for the exten
sion of the third story of the court
house. They arrived at this conclusion
after mature deliberation and hearing
many suggestions offered by competent
persons.
Put there are other plans yet re
maining to be adopted; those of Lacey
& Son are for only the exterior appear
ance of the improvement. The most
Important !'lans are yet to come, for
they arc the ones wli'eh will deal with
the arrangement ef the rooms; and they
will be aci olr.panicd by spccilicntiona of
the material, etc. After these matters
are settled, it will be in order for pro
posals to lie advertised for.
Lacey & Son's plans will make the
court house look Just as It docs now in
general prolllc, but it will be, of course,
a story higher. The same style of
architecture will prevail, and it Is the
intention of the commissioners to get
similar tones, or as near like it as pos
sible TI1R TIIIlI'.i: POTNTS.
Tho three important points which be
long tn the improvement are: (1) The
cost of It. (2) What use the new space
will be devoted to. Ct) When will It be
finished?
The cost Is not decided upon, but It
will not go beyond S7fi,lHiO. A part of
the third story was used for ten years
by the Lackawanna Institute of His
tory and Science, and that space was
llttcd up very roughly, so that what was
done iu the way of Improvement by the
institute will not help now. The cost
tuny not go as hitch as the llgure named,
but It will not exceed that amount.
What use the third story will be de
voted to has not been settled except
that a room will be provided lor the an
nual session of the Superior court, and
that quarters will be tltted for the ac
commodation of Jurymen who are
forced to remain in court over night.
The size or plan of the Superior court
room will be a combination of the most
modern and convenient style.
AVORK TO BI'XJIN SOON.
Work will be begun In about six
weeks, when court adjourns for the
summer. The grand Jury will be In ses
sion tltis week; after that comes three
weeks of common pious court, then two
weeks of quarter sessions court, fol
lowed by one week of argument court,
and then court adjourns until Septem
ber. lJitrlng this Interim the most of
the work vill be done.
There will have to be a new roof for
the court house. T'-e one now on It Is
not caimblo ot keeping out the storms.
The commissioners intend to put on
an entirely new roof.
