A CORRECTION.
The subjoined clipping Is taken from
the Taylor correspondence of a Scran
ton paper In its Issue of Dec. 3:
Tho de?ree of court when the borough
was divided Into wards reads: "Each
ward shall be entitled to two councllmen
and two school directors, one of which
shall be elected annually to serve for two
years." Now some of the school directors
elected since the decree was made claim
that they have been elected for three
years, and propose to hold over for one
year because "three years" was behind
their names when elected. If this be al
lowed, what Is the use of decrees of court?
To prevent the further alarming
spread of such fallacious and Ir
responsible Interpretation of the de.
cree of court, we will insert that
portion of the decree relating to the elec
tion of councllmen and school directors In
its entirety, verbatim et llteratum:
"And it Is further ordered and decreed
that each of the five wards shall be enti
tled to elect two councllmen and two
school directors, but not so as to Interfere
with the terms of those already eleouel.
And at the next annual municipal election,
the electors In the several wards of the
borouKh shall elect officers es follows:
"First ward The qualified electors of
the First ward of said borough shall elect
two councllmen, one for one year and one
for two years and one school director for
three years at the next annual municipal
election to be held in the borough.
"8econd ward One councilman for two
years and one school director for three
years.
"Third ward One councilman for one
year and one school director for three
years.
"Fourth ward One school director for
three years.
"Fifth ward One councilman for one
year and one for two yenm: or "vl
director for two years and one for three
years."
This Is the decree as prepared by J. M.
Harris, egq., by the court on April 30th,
1894. The first succeeding municipal elec
tion, therefore, would be the one occur
ring In February, 1895, and the directors
elected at this election, except those elect
ed to fill unexpired terms, must neces
sarily be elected for three years In strict
compliance and accordance with the de
cree of court, with the single exception of
the fifth ward. In this ward there were
elected two directors; one for two years
and one for three years. In consequence
of this legal requirement there will be no
election for school director in the Fourth
ward for Instance, Mr. James Price having
been elected for three years.
Why the erratic correspondent should
glaringly misstate the law and the facts
is utterly Incomprehensible.

The cable way which the Mooalc

for the conveying of salt petre from
their switch on the Delaware and Hud

the mill yard, thereby dispensing with
a great deal nf lubor and teaming, is
comprised of two towers, named Main
and Tail towers. The main tower Is
fifty-five feet in height, the tail tower
being forty-five feet. The former Is lo
cated In the mill yard, the latter east
of the Delaware and Hudson tracks.
The distance between towers is eight
hundred and fifty feet. The main cable
is two feet in diameter, the hoisting
rope seven-eights of an inch. - These
two are operated by a double cylinder
link motion LIdgerwood engine, fifty
horse power. On this engine are two
drums, one for the main cable, an end
less rope attached to the carriage.
This cable has four turns on the drum.
This operates the carriage on main line.
The second drum, to which the hoist
ing rone is attached. Is used In raising
and lowering the carriage. The fifth

of New York, has had unlimited experi

the past six months he has erected ten
cable ways at the Panama canal. In
1893 he superintended the building of
twenty at the Chicago Drainage canal.
He also superintended at the Point
Pleasant cable way. over the Kanawha
river In West Virginia, which at that
time (1S'J2) was the longest span of
cable way for hoistln? and conveying
in existence. In' El Nado, near San
Diego, South California, where It rains
but once a year, along In . January,
when It rains for about two weeks, he
erected a cable for use In the erection
of a dam, for the collecting of water
during the rainy season for further
use. Mr. Delaney is a strong believer
in high protective tariff and sound
money and having visited jtountrfes
with the gold, silver and double stand
ards, he can substantiate any state
ment which he might make. The
Moo8lc Powder company's cable way
will be completed in a few days, when
it can be seen In operation. '

The board of directors of the Young
Men's Christian association have suc
ceeded in opening a reading room In the
opera house block. This organization
has been In existence for some time,
but owing to the fact that the direct
ors were unable to raise sufficient funds
to carry on the work they were unable
to. furnish the, room until the present
time.' There I no doubt that such a
place where the young people could go
and 'read papers, periodicals, etc., is
heartily welcomed. In the past during
the winter months the young people of
Forest City had no place to go where
they could enjoy such privileges. The
directors are men with strong charac
ters and who) are setting good exam
ples to the young by their dally lives.
It Is the desire of these gentlemen to
see the young people prosper and Im
prove their talents. It Is very encour
aging to know that the work of the or
ganization is already accomplishing
that for which It was Instituted. The
only way to keep the organization in
existence is to help by contributing any
thing which will be of use to the society
such as books, papers, etc. It requires
quite a good deal of money to keep the
work going and as none of the men
back of the organization are wealthy It
is a matter of hard work and sound
judgment In carrying It along. It is
the earnest request of intelligent citi
zens that the work of the directors may
be encouraged 'and that such a place
where It would be a source, of comfort
both socially and Intellectually be es
tablished which would last us long as
the town exists.
