I h orge A. .lessup sei rctnry of tlie meet
in. For tin hour the iuoceedlngs took
no detinlte turn. I'os.'lbly twelve or
llfteell of the gathering, the number
that spoke, expressed themselves ns fa
voring; land iis'iliult nnd all fuvotvd
bids on each oiiulhy.
City Knglneer rhlllips was subject
ed to a great ileal of cross-examination
dining which he announced thut In re
sponse to letters thirty-eight cities,
such us New York, I'hiladelphla. Wash
ington, UuffalOk Montreal, Toronto.
Chicago, liuliiuiniioll''. and the like,
thirty-seven resiauises pronounced the
lake article suiierior to the other. Mr.
Phillips had the letters with him and
announced that he had caused for his
own protection an analysts to be made
of the two products. The result showed
the land usphalt to be of Inferior qual
ity. He said he could not conscien
tiously interpret the word "standard"
In the ordinance to mean lake asphalt
and then advertise for bids on the two
kinds.
A resolution as follows, offered by M.
.1. Wilson, was adopted: '."Resolved,
Hint It is the sense of this meeting
that the specifications shall be so
drawn as to give the widest competi
tion to bidders." On motion of Charles
Scjilager a committee of five was ap
pointed to confer with the city engineer
and other city oflhials to the end that
the resolution might be made effective.
The committee was appointed as fol
lows: J. W. Carney, James Ulair, M.
.1. Wilson, Charles Schluger, J. H.
Ounster.
Then arose the question of having
the Ftreet of uniform width. An or
dinance is now on Its passage for nar
rowing1 the street between Wyoming
nnd Jefferson avenues from 40 to 34
feet. It Is now the latter width be
tween Jefferson, to Clay avenues, and
east of the latter thoroughfare the curb
for one block is In line with the curb
below Clay avenue. It was the sense
of the meeting that the width should
be but 34 feet along the whole dis
tance of the proposed pave. In con
formity to a motion by Mr. Schlager
Chairman Luce appointed A.J. Thomas,
O. W. Garney and Cleorge A. Jessup a
committee to confer with city ofllclals,
secure petitions and do whatever else
is necessary toward securing the pass
age of an ordinance for narrowing the
street.
ASSESSMENT BY BLOCKS.
There was some objection to a clause
In the paving ordinance which provides
for an assessment according to the foot
front rule. Many who own properties
on blocks containing Btreet ruihvay
trucks, between which tlie company
must bear the expense of paving, de-iiiiiit'-i1
against naylng an equul share
for the paving of blocks that are free
from trucks. K. A. Newing, J. H.
1 3 mister and Charles Jinrr were ap
pointed a committee to have changed
the assessment clause to the block sys
tem. Before adjournment no announce
ment was made of uiioiher meeting.

On the suggestion of Mr. Notz the

Is overcrowded and in rather unhealthy
quarters. The resignation of Mr.

Mr. Carson objected to that portion
of the report appointing Miss Jennie

Tlie entire reH.rt then came up and
was adopted. In making the report of
the building commitlee Chairman
Jacobs said Ilia I they had u bill of
$I.Pi. of Sinead i Wills they waul
ed the board lo consider. The bill is
for a gas engine place, in No. 13 bulld
Imj in the Fifteenth ward us a part of
the ventilating plum. Although the
engine has been In place for some time
it has not been te-.ted because the gas
main has not yet been exl.-n.led to the
building, nor is it likely to be for some
lime. The committee did not want to
take the responsibility of approving the
bill, but slill felt that the linn that
furnished It should be paid for it. The
bill was referred back to Hie i-ommii-tee
with instructions to report it with
u recommendation.
Rev. W. H. Slubblel.liic was given

"That's a story by Penn Driver." .
"Penn Driver!" excla'nied the editor.
"Who ordered anything from him?"

Kdltor of the Tribune.
Sir: Certain Individuals are circulating
rumors thut Rev. Father Hodiir, of Nun
tlcoke. Is to be the rector of the new "In
dependent" Polish Church of Scranton.
Such rumors are falso und mall. Ions, and
come from Individuals of little principle
or conscience. Last Saturday we waited
on the Right Reverend Bishop O'Hara.
with n petition signed by 787 members cf
the Polish congregation of Scranton, re
questing the appointment of Hev. Father
I o.l ii r us our pastor. To this petition
could have been added at least 3U0 more
names.
Rev. Francis Hodur addressed us urging
strict obedience to the command of the
bishop. We all have the fullest confidence
in tlie justice and wisdom of our bishop
and believe he will not hesitate In grant
ing the request of the congregation, know
ing that the future fate of every Cath
olic Pole of this city depends on his grant,
lug or refusing the request.
If the Right Reverend Bishop O'Hara
should refuse to grant the congregation's
request then It will be time to consider
future action, but we all hope that it will
not come so far. and any rumors discred
iting ns are without foundation. One thing
Is sure, and this is that all Poles of the
city are united now and will do every
thing In their power to redeem the good
name that was stained by constant trou
bles In the church,
