Mr. l'.ates was one of those who sent

First That '.he Turnpike company de. by a cunp ny of Chirl'S Frol'.m'n's
mands that the road-bed of said r.iad, not i clever plavers. Mr. Frohman hen
recently repaired by the Turnpike com- mounted the niece. It Is said, in liN

grees with n liori.'.orlal line as rerpilred hy '
said contiact nnd ihe Act of Assembly In
inch cases made and provided.
Second That said road below whero the
siir.ie has been recently repaired by the
Turnpike company Is In bad condition, full
of hollows and ruts nnd not un f.vi.n'mii'-!
face und that the guards along said road
nredown and worthless and no protection
iiuulnst Injury, and in fact were insuf -
li.lcnt for guarding purposes.
Th'id The Turnpike coinonnv further
gives notice that it will? "jj! compHam-e
with your request, cease further work
upon snld road until the 1st lnv of Octo.
her. 1W. and unless the city of Scranton
on or before that date proceeds In good I
faith to speedily put the road In the con
dition above mentioned the Turnpike com
pany will, for its own protection and for
the benefit of the traveling public continue
Its repairs thereon.
Fourth That the Turnpike company In
sists that the repairing of the part of the
road as now being done by the city of
Scranton is but a pretense and does not In
any manner comply with said agreement
or the Act of Assembly for the maintain
ing of the road.
In our judgment the way tho clly is
now working upon said road Is a waste of
public moneys and we may further add
that the macadamizing recently done by
the Turnpike company covers about nine
hundred feet of the roud from Leg.
Belt's creek bridge to Providence Corners,
and tins cost one hundred and rlxty-sevon
dollars and fourteen cents ($1(17.11.)
Therefore to properly muriidatnlse the
whole distance, to wit. 7.W7.3 feet, w'll
not necessarily cost over l,5n0 and the
Turnpike company Is ready to do It for
the city for that sum.
