Vets Rciustntcd--Mr. Clarke Ques
tion, a Committee's Action and
Stirs Things t p.. After Some Ider
menIloth Councils in Session.
Each branch of councils met last
night and In both sessions matters of
Importance developed, unionir which
was the Mulberry street pavement re
garding which it was decided to Ig
nore all bids and re-udvertise accord;
Ing to the specification.
President Georee Sanderson was In
the chair In select council, all of whose
members were present excepting Mr.
McCann. of the Fourteenth ward.
The following In relation to the Mul
berry street pavement was reported by
the pavement committee:
Your committee, to whom was referred
the bids for the paving of Mulberry street,
from Mltl'n avenue to Prescott avenue,
herewith respectively beg leave to report
that after having carefully considered
ibe legal status of the matter ns well as
trie interests of the owners of property
abutting on ald street, your committee
has arrived ut thu following eoiulu-
"'J'irst That all the bids for the paving
of said mulberry street bd rejected.
Second That the speeilleattons as now
prepared bv the city engineer u far as
relates to the kind of asphalt to be used
be eo modliicd and amended to restore
thrill to the original printed words with
out iinv additions or erasures.

BASIS OF REPORT.
The report was baned upon four
'hinus: The property owners petitioned
fur a "sheet asphalt pavement on a
concrete base;" the ordinance reads
"Mi.uulai.l uMjjhalt:" the words "stand
ard asphalt or asphalt equally as good"
which huve usually appealed in as
phalt specilliH lions !. trusted In the
.Mulberry street specillcations and the
words "Tiinldnd Lake or liermudez,
usphalt" substituted, and finally the
city solicitor's opinion In the whole
matter guided the committee In mak
ing Its report as it appears above.
Mr. Chittenden moved the adoption
of the icpoit, but nn amendment by
Sir. Hobinscn, seconded by Mr. Frable,
w as offered that the contract be award
ed to the lowest bidder. In the discus
sion which followed those who favored
awarding the contract were actunted
by the belief that the work would have
t be performed according to the sup
ervision of the city engineer, and, in
consequence, the proper kind of asphalt
would have to be used.
Mr. Lunslnii, Mr. P.oche, Mr. Wagner'
and others who debated In favor of
adopting the report admitted the claims
of tluise who wished to award the con
tract but argued that the city would
be liable to the property owners for
any excess in cost. The lowest bid
could not be accepted without violating
the specifications, they claimed, the re
port whs according to the city solici
tor's advice; if the bid next to the
lowest was accepted the property own
ers' petition would be violated.
Mr. Hoblnson nnd Mr. Finble with
drew their amendment and Mr. Coyne
moved the adoption of the report. It
was udopted unanimously after about
twenty minutes, of debate.
CASE OF MR. SPROATS.
The friends of Permanent Fireman
Sproats almost succeeded In having
him returned to his position with the
Franklin Engine company, pending
the appointment of his successor. The
following resolution was presented by
Mr. Durr:
Resolved by the select council, that
William T. Sproats is hereby directed to
resume Ins duties as permanent man of
the Franklin Engine company nnd to per
forin such duties until such time as the
select council shall have conllrmed the
appointment of his successor.
The resolution was not debatable and
when Its adoption was moved by Mr.
Durr, Mr. Fellows moved that It be
tabled. The amendment wns lost by an
8 to 10 vote, but the adoption of the
resolution failed to prevail, the vote be
ing f to i, as follows:
Nays Ross, Clarke, Roche, Robinson,
Manley, Fellows, Lansing, Frable, Coyne.
Ayes Thomas, Williams, Durr, Chit
tenden, Wugner. Schroeder, llurns, Ale
Andrew, Sanderson.
The sewers and drains committee at
tempted a rap at Mayor l'ailey In Its
report on the appointment of Joseph
Hrlll to be inspector of the Monsey
n venue sewer. The report was as fol
lows: Your committee Is Informed that the
work on this sewer lias been completed
for some time and we thinK that the de
lay In sending In the nomination Is rem
hcusllde und should nut be tolerated In
the future. We have no olllcial knowl
edge that the within named Joseph ISrill
acted as Inspector of said work and we
recommend that action be postponed un
til this Information is furnished to coun
cils. Mr. Thomas and Mr. Williams were
most active in urging the adoption of
the report. They alone voted "aye,"
however, after it had been explained
by Air. Manley and others that the
mayor had made the nomination at as
early a date as possible. The report
was not adopted but the nomination
was approved.
OPPOSITION BY MR. CLARKE.
Air. Clarke started a prolonged dis
cussion, and recourse to flumes caily
in the meeting by lighting tne recom
mendation of the fir a department com
mittee that Conrad lid l,e awarded
the contract for building a new ser
vice wajon for the chief of the lire
department. The iiel Mil was $17r. it
including a 2-year repair guarantee,
nnd the furnishing of all equipment.-1.
Air. Clarke contended that the award
should be made to William K. Giliiool,
who offered to build the vehicle for
$IU). It whs explained by Air. Durr
that the Gilhool bid did not include
a repair guarantee, which the commit
tee believed involved more than the
difference between the bids.
Air. Clarke asked that nil the bids
be read, nnd in the readimr It developed
that J. F. AlcCawky & Brother's bid
was $!C5, but that the price did not
Include complete furnishings. Mr.
Clarke's motion that the bids be re
ferred bnck to committee was lost by
a vote of 11 to 7, and the award was
made to Plel.
A resolution which Indicated a sus
picion that some aldermen are hypothe
cating some of the tines collected in
their courts was presented by Air. Chit
tenden and adopted. It directs the city
or.lroller to furnish a report of monies
paid to the city treasurer on account
of lines and penalties collected by al
dermen during the present fiscal year,
and if any alderman have failed to
make returns the controller Is directed
to demand reports from them forth
with. Common council's amendment to the
ordinance providing for parallel turn
pike to Chinchilla was concurred In.
The amendment provides that the city
engineer shall approve the work and
the city soli"! tor .hall opprove the war
rants dedicating the land to the city
before the road Is accented.
ANOTHER SEWER DISTRICT.
A resolution was, adopted directing
the city engineer to prepare maps,
plans and estimates of the cost of a
sewer district between the Second and
Third districts and the Lackawanna
river and Main avenue.
Mr. Clarke's resolution granting "The
Deaf Literary society" the use of coun
cil chambers on Friday nights was
adopted by a narrow margin.
The Joint lire department committee
was directed by resolution to purchase
the necessary heating apparatus and
have the same erected in Nay Aug
Engine house.
The city engineer wns directed by
resolution to prepare plans and esti
mates for a sewer to drain that part
of the Fifth sewer district west of
West Market street and west of the
Lackawanna river, to Include uii the
territory thut can be drained Into the
river.
Mr. Coyne's resolution was adopted
providing for plans and estimated cost
of extending the pipe drain on Cherry
street from Stone avenue to the bnsin
on Prespect avenue, a distance of 100
yards.
The common council ordinance for
widening Rock street passed third read
ing. IN COMMON COUNCIL

al meetings occupied considerable time
at the common council session.
Two tracks on the West Lackawanna
avenue viaduct are wanted by the
Scranton Traction company as indi
cated in the following letter from its

The readlnz of the letter caused no
comment and it was referred to the
streets and bridges committee.

ed In the middle of a block. His mo
tion was lost by a vote of 13 to 3.

BOB DAVIS CAUGHT.
Wbcn County Detective Lcyshon Ar

Bob Asked, "What For ?"
After eluding the officers of the law
for the better part of a year "Bob"
Davis was arrested last night by

window of the room where Bho usually

It struck a larie parlor lump, which
was lit, and ninth1 pieces of it. Flosr.ie
Daniels was in the room ut the time,
and it missed her head by an Inch be
