NECESSITY FOR GOOD CITY STREETS Commissioner Kinsley's Interest! ng M dress Before Coard of Trade. PRACTICAL IDEAS HE ADVANCED Manufacturers Committee Reported Adversely on the Proposition to Es tablish a Seamless and Weldless Steel -Tobo Manufacturing Estub. lixbment Ilere.-No Meeting to Be Held During July or August. An Interesting feature of last night's meeting of the board of trade was an address by Street Commissioner Kins ley, who is also chairman of the streets and highways committee of the board, on the necessity of Improving our streets and the best method of bringing about such Improvements Mr. Kinsley spoke as follows: Mr. President and Gentlemen: Mr. Athertun, your secretary Invited me to uddrpuH your meeting on thut Im portant subject, 'The necessity of Im proving our streets." The necessity may br taken fur granted without any arguments on my part, nevertheless, I think thatthework accomplished during recent years in this city In the way of improving paved streets Is one that the citizens may Justly be proud. One il lustration will Bhow thut considerable headway Is being made. The visitors to the city are being shown around under the direction of the board of trade, with a view of acquiring some Idea of the city before locating any new Industries, Mr, Atherton always gives the same order to the driver, "Keep on the asphalt" with the result that the visitors return home speaking of Scranton and her model Btreets, and pointing to ber as an example where dirt streets are things of the past. The time Is, however, coming, thanks to the public spirit displayed by the citizens, when Scranton may fairly claim the honor. In speaking of my subject, I think It will be more Interesting If I dwell upon the present condition of matters, and like Mark Twain, leave the rest to the Invagination of my hearers. PEWEHS ARE NECESSARY. In the first place It Is an accepted fact, that the city should be thoroughly and systematically sewered, before we can hope for good, permanent ' streets. 'While on this point let me impress that I do not mean the small pipes that have been dignified, if the term is good, by the name of a sewer. It is of para mount Importance that all sewer pipes wherever laid should have a sufficient capacity to take off all the water, storm, or otherwise. At present, strange to say, we have but one sewer In this city namely,-that on Linden street, all the others being simply pipe drains. ' Having disposed of this essential pre liminary, the question of paving would be in order. All the business streets of such an important and progressive city like Scranton should be paved, but the paving material should be decided by the class of travel to which the street would be subjected and also the expense of maintenance. We huve In Scranton the asphalt pave, the stone block pave, the vitrified brick pave, the stone cobble and the remnants of the wood block. Without taking Into consideration the cobble pave, the total cost of paving up to the present has been r.58,585.23. No record has been kept of the cost of the cobble pave. There was in the city on January 1st a total mileage of 14.176 miles of pave, made up as follows: Asphalt, 9.96'i; stone block, .923; brick, .772; stpne cobble, .163; wood block, .354. In good paving the first consideration Is the queftion of foundation, and the sub-dralnlug which must be determined by the nature of the ground, then fol lows the question of a foundation for the pave Itself, and lastly the Import ant question of the wearing surface. ' ONE GREAT TROUBLE. The great trouble with our streets Is the continual excavations for repairs of water pipes, gas pipes, steam heat ser vice, sewer and water connections. In this respect the principal consideration in selecting a pave should be to bear In mind the facilities for taking up the pave when necessary and replacing In a large number of cases the asphalt pave has been disturbed, and the cost of cutting and relaying Is $2.65 per square yard. This, however, has to be accomplished by a special process, re quiring skilled labor and various cook ing utensils to prepare the hot poultice for the wearing surface. The result has been that the streets have been continu ally cut up, owing to the fact that but one company has the plant In this city necessary for carrying out of the re pairs, and as this company have work on hand in adjoining cities, the delays are at times quite lengtny. As an instance of the Inconvenience caused I will direct your attention to one ease where a cut was opened on Adams a venire on May 1 and two or three dan afterwards was refilled. A load of rubbish was left on the street and remains until the present time awaiting the relaying of the asphalt. The asphalt company's men are other wise employed or out of town, and the poultice could not be placed, thus in terfering with the cleamlng of the street besides being detrimental to the looks of the thoroughfare. it must be admitted that one of the drawbacks of the asphalt pave Is that If the cut Is made during winter or dur ing the fall, that It cannot be repaired until the spring or warm weather As an instance of this, I had to repair a cut on Lackawanna avenue during last winter with cobble, as a precaution against accident. STONE BLOCK PAVES. Stone block paving is made in several forms, the dimensions best known now being 3x4x6 or 8, or by 6 or 12, laid In courses either on a bed of sand or con crete. This kind of paving undoubtedly stands best the severest test of the heaviest traffic, and it possesses one great advantage, In the fact that It can be taken up at any time of the year and relald Immediately, and workmen with sufficient skill can always be found at any time of the year to carry out the work. Brick paving has the same qualities as far as the question of repair Is con cerned, and in addition the benefit of a smoother surface. It will stand a large amount of wear, and Is the easiest to keep clean. It can also be flushed or swept without detriment to the sur face of the pave. Cobble stone also has. Its place and has the merit of being tho cheapest of all paving. In Scranton, however, It Is too well known to require any explana tion. I wish to say, however, that on very steep grades coLMe stone paving Is the best, for In a year or two after the stone block has been laid the cor ners and edges wear. . Thus on steep grades cobble stone gives a better foot ing for the horses and prevents the side-sliding so objectiouable In the mo tion of carriages. Another question Incidental with the Improvement of our streets Is the mat ter of Inlet basins. At present the water Is carried two blocks before the basin Is reached. This, I venture to think. Is a mlBtake, as a basin should be placed on each block. I presume that the question of clean ing streets would probably come within the range of my subject, so that the cost of cleaning the pave, cost of main tenance, and the amount of the appro priation will be of interest. ASPHALT OUT OF BOND. There are at present 8.46 miles of as phalt In this city out of bond, that Is, they have been laid longer than five years, during which the pave was main tained by the company. For the repair of this asphalt the sum of $4,600 was ap propriated during the present fiscal year, and the sum of $11,000 was like wise appropriated for the cleaning of all the asphalt pave, making a total of $15,500 for the maintenance of the as phalt puve. For all other pave, viz: 4.214 miles, the sum of liflo was appropriated for re pairs and 12.000 for cleaning, making a total of $2,500 for the maintenance of all stone block, cobble stone, in streets and alleys. I might Incidentally re mark that the cobble stone alleys are fast becoming business places and re quire as much attention as the streets and avenue3. These figures, therefore, show that the average cost per mile per annum of maintaining asphalt pave Is $1,640 as compared with $fi3 the annual cost per mile of maintaining other paves. The sum of 115,732 is appropriated for street repairs In the various wards. As the mileage Is 80.075 miles, the an nual average cost per mile Is $246. against $595 for streets paved with stone block, etc., and $1,540 for asphalt ed streets. There are In the city 365 traveled Btreets and highways, and the general appropriation Is divided among the v.irlfus wards, but It Is really not sufficient to maintain the rtreets In re pair, as earth roads require constant and considerable repair on account of the washing, especially In places where no sewers are constructed. The most conspicuous places In this city showing the folly of attempting to repair dirt roads or wasting any money upon them, arc North Main avenue, Providence road and Capouse avenue. There is a heavy travel on each of these thorough fares and we may consider as wasted every dollar expended until the roads are paved. CLEANING THE STREETS. The system, if It may be so called, of cleaning the Btreets is shifted and changed as necessity requires. The most satisfactory one known is the block system, by means of which a man Is assigned to one or more blocks, as the traffic necessitates, and Is employed all day In keeping that thoroughfare clean. The streets are thus kept con stantly in the same neat and cleanly condition. On several residental streets In this city the system has been adopt ed with success, the city paving a por tion of the cost per month. Washing or flushing the streets which Is regarded as the best system In this city, has some drawbacks, but It is not the cheapest. For stone or brick pave ment luld on a concrete base there can be no objection to the flushing system, but where the pavement Is laid on sand it Is not safe to wash the pavement. There Is no doubt that the water Is detrimental to the asphalt pavement. A large numbe.' of cities do not allow even the sprinkling of asphalt pave ments. In this city, however. It has been the rule for years. When I llrst began the Hushing of streets. I followed the old style of having the scrapers on the day turn and the washers at night, but the result was that two or more gangs of men were necessary to clean the sewer basins. I then made a change and arranged that the scrapers be placed on at night Just ahead of the washers, thereby carting away all the luavy material, and leaving the fine material only, which could easily be carried Into the sewer. During this summer about 50 blocks have been scraped and swept at night and about 30 blocks have been washed. On an average about 22 cart loads have been removed each night from the streets, this necessitating the employment of a scraping gang of ten or twelve men, one foreman and two horses, FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. In concluding, permit me to thank yiu for the honor of addressing you upon this Important subject. In regard to the future development of our great city in this respect it would be out of my province to make any remarks, except to observe that the additional paving of our streets rests nlmost en tirely on the Individual citizens,' who proud of their city, and desirous of In creasing the value of their own proper ty, may at any time petition councils to carry out such paving schemes as they muy desire. Glancing back at recent years I think we may be satisfied that the citizens are fully alive to the value of good streets, and 1 believe thnt the time Is coming when It will be unneces sary for Mr. Atherton to order the driver to keep on the paved streets, ns we shall then have so many of them that the driver will be unable to find any of the old dirt roads, which are so inconsistent with the record In other respects of the most enterprising city in the commonwealth. ,At the conclusion Mr. Kinsley was interrogated by a number of the mem bers and asked to explain In detail a number of the Ideas he had advanced. For steep grades he gave It as his opin ion that cobble stones properly laid make a better pavement than asphalt, brick or stone block because It gives the horse a firmer footing. THH PROPOSITION IGNORED?" The manufacturers committee report ed adversely on the proposition of George D. Hedlan, of New Tork city to organize a $500,000 corporation In this city, for the purpose of manufacturing weldless and seamless steel tubes. The committee did not deem It advisable ow ing to the present condition of business, to ask our capitalists to go Into an en terprise of this character at the present time. The report of the committee con tinued: Since our last report, a company has been organised In this city for the pur pose of manufacturing bicycles. The company 1b capitalized at M,0w. Mr. J. A. Mears has been elected president, W. J. Hand treasurer, Edward Vernoy sec retary, and F. C. Holmes superintendent. They have leased the old Wlghtman plant on Washington avenue, and are now put ting In place the necessary machinery. They expect to have the "Black Diamond" wheel on the market In a week or ten days. Messrs. S. G. Barker & Son's have also added bicycles to their product. They ex. pect soon to place on the market a wheel to be known as the "Anthracite." Both concerns will make high grade wheels only. The manufacture of bicycles In this city promises soon to become an Indus try of no little Importance. We also bg to offer the following reso lution, and recommend its adoption, to wit: Resolved, That the July and August meetings of the board be dispensed with. Respectfully submitted, Luther Keller, Chairman. This report was unanimously adopted and A W. Dickson, chairman of the board of trade building committee, re ported In favor of accepting the follow ing proposition from the Scranton Board of Trade Real Estate company: To rent to the Scranton board of trade certain rooms In their building now In course of erection, being one assembly room approximately 70x30 feet, ceilings M feet high, and two adjoining rooms on the Dlx court side of the building, be ing each 15 feet 4 inches by 26 feet Inches all on eighth floor, at a yearly rental of $500, and 60 per cent of the revenue realised from sub-letting of the assembly room. The sub-renting of the assembly room to be under the exclu sive control of the Scranton board of trade. We further recommend that up on the completion of the building tne Scranton board of trade take immedi ate possession. This report was also adopted. Albert Kramer called the attention of the board to the condition of the wood block pavement on Wyoming avenue.between Linden and Mulberry streets. The streets and highways committee was asked to do what lays In Its power to secure a new pavement for the block. MAYOR BAILEY'S POLICY. Attitude He Will Adopt with Reference to the Board of Health and Positions It Has to Fill. Mayor Bailey yesterday gave out to a Tribune reporter his policy regarding the board of health appointments which are to be made next month , The mayor says he will confer with the board of health and if the board agrees with him as to who should be ap pointed he will allow it to name its own offlcers.as every board of health for the past ten years has been privileged to do. The offices of food Inspector and sani tary policeman he proposes to All with out considering the board of health at all. The secretaryship, the position of health officer and the superlntendency of the crematory will be left to the mem bers of the board of health to fill as they may deem best. Keeping In mind, how ever, that they must "agree" with His Honor as to who are the proper men for these positions. The conference at which the members of the board of health are expected to be present and aureeable will take place during the coming week. The board starts next 'Monday or Tuesday on its annual Inspection of the reservoirs and upon the completion of this task they will be called in to talk over the ap pointments. Reorganization occurs on the first Friday in July, which will this year, fall on the third of the month. Colonel Ripple Is the only member of the board whose term expires) on that day. He will most likely be re-appointed. The administration expected that . there would be two appolntmens to be made, believing that membership on the poor board and board of health was forbidden by the law relating to Incompatabllity of offices, and that Dr. Paine would have to re-sign, but contrary to expectation, and doubtlessly wishes City Solicitor Torrey ruled that the offices ore not incomputable and Dr. Paine will hold over. A hard battle Is being waged by Dr. O'Malley for Health Officer Allen's place but Is likely th'at the mayor if disposed to favor Dr. O'Malley's aspirations will have to use his most convincing argu ments to Induce the board of health to agree to Dr. Allen's displacement. The board will also struggle against any at tempt His Honor may make to have them agree with him that Nnthan Vlda ver, W. W. Baylor, Frank McAndrew and his own brother, E. H. Bailey, would make a better main than Walter Brlggs In the office of secretary. Henry Loftus, the superintendent of the crematory, Is also giving excellent satisfaction and the board will not will ingly agree to his removal. While the board would like to see Captain BuTke retained as sanitary officer, the proba bilities aro thut the members will not even be consulted about him or Food Inspector Thomas, John C. Roche and Thomas Cullen being slated, respective ly for these two offices. he Saw paddy, he did. Bad Man with Blood in His Eye Bans Against One Who Is "Bndder." As Patrolmen Flaherty and Lowry were standing oh the corner of Frank lin avenue and Center street about 2.30 o'clock yesterday morning Mike Duffy, the famous, came out of the alley and with blood in his eye Inquired if they had seen Paddy Moran. "Just gone into Ed Horn's," replied one of the officers, who a moment be fore had seen the familiar figure of the ex-puglllst disappearing through the screen door. "He did, did he? Well, I want to see him, see?" and with that Duffy rolled up his shirt sleeves, doubled up his fist and made a bee line for Horn's. But he didn't go In. That Is, he didn't go all the way In. The policemen saw him step across the threshold, then suddenly pause and then come out head foremost, landing in a heap on the side walk. When the officers reached his side they found him unconscious and had to work with him several minutes before he could be brought to. As he was being bundled Into a cab one of the patrolmen asked him In a gentlemanly sort of a way If he had seen Paddy, but he would not deign to answer. Paddy came out a few minutes after ward and Innocently inquired, "Who was that fellow that bumped against the door coming In a little while ago?" TAX COLLECTIONS NOW ON.

FLAMES IN THE WEST RIDGE MINE aaatyof the Fire Boss aad the Tim bering Burned-. Smoke Filled Two Veins and Made the Men Scramble for Safetya.Prompt Action of Mine Officials Prevented Serious Damage. Many of the two hundred men and boys at work In the West Ridge Coal company's mine la the North End nar rowly escaped being burned or suffoca ted yesterday morning. The shanty of the fire boss near the foot of the slope was discovered afire soon after the men began work and the flames spread to the timbering. Several of the veins were filled with smoke and there was a great deal of excitement on the surface while the men were making their escape. The flames were extinguished by the, city Are apparatus before any serious damage was done. At 6 o'clock last night the timbers that were weakened by the flames had been replaced or re paired and the usual work in the mine will be resumed this morning. The fire. In the shanty is supposed to have been started by the flame of a naked lamp or by a lighted match; at all events the Interior of the little hut was a mass of flame when Fire Boss Neeson discovered It. Huge clouds of smoke were pouring along the roof and Into the three and live-foot veins which commence at this point and In which most of the men were at work. UNABLE TO BREATHE. Neeson tried to make his may Into each of the veins but was unable to breathe on acoount of the smoke and so could not alarm the men. He made his way up to the head of the slcpe and a city alarm was sent in, the North End companies responding. A long line of hoso was put down the shaft, situated near North Main avenue and back of the residence of Postmaster Vandling, and stretched to the shnnty which Is about midway between the foot of the slope and the shaft. The firemen were not allowed to en ter the mine but the stream of water was dlrcted by Neeson, Inside Foreman Richard Martin and Outside Foreman Clngsley. Within forty minutes after the fire was discovered and within twenty-five minutes after the hose wns run down the shaft the flames were ex tinguished. Meanwhile the air currents had car ried the smoke In among the chambers where the men were working off the three and five-foot veins. It was Impos sible to attempt any rescue owing to the dense volumes of smoke. About 60 per cent, of those who had been at work below reached the sur.ace by plunging blindly through the Bmoke Into the purer air near the mouth of the slope. It was later learned that of thuse who failed to come to the surface had either preferred to take the chances of froing toward the face of the workings or had been working so far back that the smoke did not reach them and they worked on In blissful Ignorance of their danger. V CHANGED THE AIR CURRENT. When the two foremen and Fire Boss Neeson went down the shaft to direct the stream of water from the hose they changed the air current so that the smoke was turned away from the fac ings. Thus the men at work in the ex treme chambers were protected and the mine was soon cleared of smoke. The fire created so much excitement among the miners and their families that there was no effort made to resume work yesterday. However, this might have been done In the afternoon, as the damage was slight. - Photos. June 30th will be the Inst day to have sittings on our tickets. Come In at once. Starrier, photographer.
