be verv dry and uninteresting sub
jects, but they were made decidedly
attractive at last night's stated meet
ing of the board of trade. 1 here were
two addresses by General Rov 'Stone,
special agent and engineer of the road
imiuiry branch attached to the depart
ment of agriculture of the I'nlted
States government, and by K. O. Har
rison, assistant to General Stone.

sought to decline his nomination, but
Mr. Keller and J. A. Lansing, wno
made it, and A. W. Dickson took the
mutter In hand and the proceedings
away from the cha.lr, having tne nomi
nations rlosed for the presidency and
declaring Captain May the only candi
date. The report of the manufacturers'
committee recommended the re-election
of Secretary Atherton. The ejec
tions will tuke pluce at the January
meeting.
tli'iieiul Stone and Mr. Harrison went
from the meeting to the Scranton HI
evele club house, where they met and
addressed a number of wheelmen.
That gathering Informally .decided to
perfect a "good roads league."
GENERAL STONE'S ADDRESS.
In his address before the board Gen
eral Stone set his hearers to thinking
by his assertions that Pennsylvania,
while bavins the poorest roads in the
I'nlted States, pays more than any
other state for the good rouds it don't
get. Mr. Harrison, too, emphasized
thut point and then told something
about the ideal highways of New Jer
sey and the popularity they had at
tained. Kuch speaker presented his
subject in such a crisp way that their
listeners will be active and influential
agents in supporting one or all of the
severul "good roads" movements now
afoot in the legislature or, through oth
er channels.
About twenty-five persons, most of
them the active spirits of the board of
trade, were present. The speakers and
the subject for consideration was sug
gested by the Interest taken In good
rouds by several of the board's leading
members and by the recent good roads
meeting In Philadelphia of the Penn
sylvania division of the League of
American Wheelmen attended by A. U.
Dunning, Jr., a good roads enthusiast,
and the board's secretary. D. U. Ath
erton, who Is also president of the
Scranton' Bicycle club, which organi
zation will soon begin a political and
educational good roads campaign.
General Stone several times empha
sized the expediency for appointing a
commission from the board of trade
or other public body to Investigate the
question, and the later organization of
a local good roads league. He was
certain that the organization Would
be effected and productive of a great
deal of good. He discussed at length
the league movements in California,
New York and New Jersey. In Cali
fornia a system has been created
through the influence 'of public or
ganizations whereby material Is pre
pared and loaded on cars for 30 cents
per ton und It is transported by the
railroads for the actual cost of haul
ing. In recommending the application
of the system it was the best step ever
attempted for the employment of con
victsin a way that does not Interfere
with organized labor ami for the Im
provement of highways.
NEED GOOD P.oADS HERB.
"From what I have observed and
been told," said General Stone, "you
need good roads in this region; you
need them badly. Your roads are cer
tainly not good. Your city has grown
and prospered because of its cheap
fuel, plentiful labor and railroads, but
you will find that there are other ave
nues to which you will have to look
for continued und Increased prosper
ity; good roads is one of these. You
need t hetn. not alone to make it easier
und cheaper to get supplies, but, also,
to make It convenient and mot at
tractive to live in the country and to
attract city visitors to these beautiful
hills. In France it Is not uncommon
to see a farmer and his load of farm
product fifty miles from home. In this
locality It is unusual If the farmer
an his loud (of produce) travel live
miles on a trip. You have to pay for
this inconvenience."
General Stone approved of the pro
visions of the Flynn bill us u tempo
rary and perhaps permanent system.
The Flynn proposition Is to permit a
good rouds tax levy of as much as 2
mills according to the local option of
counties, the commissioners to decide
and select an overseer of construction
A U-mlll tax In Lackawuuna county
would create ti0,UUU. He further ap
proved the idun of Professor Hamil
ton, of State College, a plan similar
to the "state aid" svstem of New Jer
sey and abolishing the office of town
chin supervisor.
"Pennsylvania," declared General
Stone, "spends more than New York
or anv other state for rouds, but has
the poorest roads and the greatest va
riety of poor rouds of any state in the
I'nlon." lie concluded by stating that
his assistant, Mr. Harrison, a practical
road maker, would tell In detail how
highways should be made,
Mr. Harrison looks like a farmer and
he suld he was a "hayseed" after Cap
tain May hud Introduced him as "pro-,
lessor.'' He said he was a Pennsyl
vanlan by birth, a Pennsylvania far
mer during his early muuhood, but a
superintendent of good road building
in New Jersey durlns recent years. He
described very humorously the "pic
nics" or road making bees In the town
ships of this Btate. The system dif
fers slightly at -present from the time
when nearly all Pennsylvania was a
wilderness.; t
Then, when the farmers' (all work
was done and they had nothing else to
occupy their time or that of their sons
or laborers, they repaired the roads, a
rebate being allowed on any given far
mer's taxes according to the amount
of land he owned. Th- system was
much the same today. In consequence
the roads are repaired but once or twice
a year, and then without method or
Judgment.
The New Jersey state aid system Is
vastly different and more practical.
There road taxes are payable in rash.
The state pays 33 1-3 per vent., the pe
titioners for a road 10 per rent., and
the county the balance, lit 2-3 per rent.
The county commissioners employ at
a stated salaiy an overseer or Inspector
to see that the road is built according
to siieclHcatlons. It must be "smooth,
hard and suitable for travel at all sea
sons of the vear." . A Toad Is declared
"liermanenl" when the state Inspector
so pronounces it. Then the state pays
one-third of the small expense for re
pairs and maintenance.
Pennsylvania paid in 189.1 as much as
$3,622,724 to keep its township rouds, as
bad n they are. That expenditure was
exclusive of cities, boroughs and
bridges. Mr. Harrison mentioned sev
eral agricultural counties which ex
pended from $100,000 to $130,000 each on
roads. He averred that he could pro
cure any one of a number of practical
road makers who could do the work
for that sum, make the rouds four times
better than they are now and pocket
$25.(MNi annually as a prolit.
Mr. Harrison then descillied how a
good country road should be construct
ed. Water and frost, the gre'utest ene
mies of a highway, were overcome by
making the six. eight, nine or 10-Inch
construction a self -constituted roof und
by the exeriilse of n practical knowledge
of drainage. Drulus are built either
at the sides of the bed or beneath 11.
ORDINARY VTONES lTSKl.
Ordinary stones whose surfaces would
equal that of small loaves of bread are
carefully luid in rows at right ungles
to the direction of the road. They are
laid so that the iiiterctses are V -shaped
and pointed downward. The liuse or
natural dirt surface has been carefully
rollel ufter all soil spots huv? been dug
out und tilled with the nust natural
soil.
The most Important und final treat
ment is the laying of the surface mate
rial. This should I e of the hardest vol
canic stone which has no "streaks" or
grain. This kind of stone In Its prepar
atory crushing forms Into cube-like
squares a little over an inch In dia
meter. It Is placed over the bottom
ing of big common stone und then
tolled. The peculiar surface of the
cubes makes them pack closely togeth
er In the rolling. Finally is added the
dust or rrumbllngs which accumulate
during the crushing of the ti p layer.
Water cannot penetrate it and so the
base Is ns free from upheavals by frost
as in an earthen iloor beneath a farm
shed.
The volcanic stone Is obtained along
the Delaware. In New York and from
the orange mountains. Its first cost
and freightage amounts to nearly one
third of the total expense of road mak
ing. .
WYOMING AVENUE FIRE.
Building Occupied by J. Bolz, the
Furrier, Damaged Exact Origin
of the Fire Not Known.
About 10.tr.' last night Patrolman
Sloat saw smoke issuing from the roof
of the building at 138 Wyoming avenue
and immediately turned In an alarm
from box 22 to which the central city
companies responded. By this time
(lames were shooting through the roof
and a destructive tire seemed certain
so Chief Hlcke-v turned In a second
alarm and brought out another batch
of companies. After nearly an hour's
work the Are was extinguished.
The building Is owned by Nicholas
Rice and was damaged to the extent of
between ruo and $1,000. J. Bolz, fur
rier and milliner, occupied the base
ment, first, second and part of the third
Moors and carried a stock estimated to
lie "worth $15,000. It wus badly dum
aged nv water. Thet amount of Mr.
Uolz's loss could not be accurately as
certained last night, as he Is In New
York cuty, but It is understood that he
is fullv protected by Insurance.
As to the origin of the fire nothing
definite is known. It started In a
closet on the fourth floor which is un
tenanted and is supposed to have hud
its beginning In a discarded cigar or
ciragette butt. The fire melted several
lead water pipes in the closet und they
ilulncrpH the Imlldlnir. cnuslmr neailv
all the damage done by water.
NEW ENGLAND DINNER TONIGHT.
Decorations Will lie of a Very
Elnbornte Nature.
The tenth annual dinner In Scranton
of the New England society of North
eastern Pennsylvania, will take place

room of the hotel the most elaborate
pieces of decorative work of Us kind

The insurance problt m was before the
school board uguin last night. Mr.
Gibbons und Mr. Jennings crossed
swords, but there wus no tire Hashing
from their blades as at the former
meeting. Mr. Gibbons made a motion
to cancel the policies held by C. tl. Bo
land & Co. Herman Nutz seconded it.
Mr. Jennings raised the objection that
the motion could not lie entertained be
cause It proposed to reconsider the ac
tion of the last meeting, and such a
motion must come from one who voted
In tho atllrm-itive when the same sub
ject was pervloiislv considered. Mr.
Gibbous hiid not voted in the ntlli -.native
and therefore could not make such
a motion. Mr. Jennings hoped the
chair would so rule, but President
Si biefer took a different view of It and
said he would entertained the motion.
Mr. Jennings said be did not want to
appial .tiom the decision of the chair,
but lie couldn't Imagine why the chair
should inlurlain Mr. C.lidioiis' motion.
Mr. Casey, from the Sixth, arose and
moved that the motion lie tabled. The
dues' Ion was put and Mr. Casey's mo
tion lost by a tie vote us follows:
AyesCas.v. Schaffer, Conrad. Walsh,
Jacobs, Jennings, l.'innan, l.aiigstatt-S.
Navs-Scliarar, Francois. O'.Malley, Da
vis. S. hriifcr, Barker. Nutz. Gibbons- X..
The chair understood Secietarv Fel
lows to say the vote was S to 7 In fa
vor of tabling the motion ami so ruled,
but the secretary quickly corrected him
and said the vote was N to S. und be
fore the chair could announce his rul
ing. Mr. Jeiinliifss said he thought that
some of the members didn't understand
what they were voting for und he
suggested'that the roll be called again.
MOTH N WAS TABLED.
Home of them evidently didn't know
which way they were .voting first for
on the second roll call the motion to
table was carried by the following
vote:
A ws Francois, o'Malley. Davis, Casey,
Schah'cr, Conrad. Jacobs, Jennings, Bar
ker, l.aiiKan, millions.
Nnvs-tfcliai.il-, Sclu-lefer, Notz, Long

own motion there was a loud laugh,
but he wanted them to understand
he was no dummy, that he knew what
he was about. "Don't you see that I'll
have a chance to move for reconsidera
tion V" he said.
Mr. Davis followed with a motion to
cancel nil policies the first of the year
and let the board do Us own insuring.
Some of the members think inasmuch
as there has been no destruction of
school houses lu several years that It
would pay the board to put the money
paid up Insurance into a- fund. The
motion was so amended that the ques
tion was referred to the Insurance coig
mlttee with instruction to report nt
tile next meeting, which Will be next
Monday night.
Each of the three members of that
committee, Messrs. Jennings, Barker
und Gibbons spoke against requiring a
report ut the next meeting as it Is
too important a mutter to dispose of
In that spare of time. The motion
passed but the committee was not di
rected to report at uny specllled time.
The pay roll for half a month wus
pussed Bnd the teachers will get their
warrant Thursday. There wus a good
deal of discussion on the question of
inuking nn experience of two years in
teaching night school Instead of three
years the basis for a salary of $.15 a
month. The motion was withdrawn
before n vole was taken on it.
Mr. Gibbons wants the board to pur
chase from Patrick Best in the Twen
tieth ward u plot on which to build a
school. Mr. Conrad took Issue with
the gentleman from the Twentieth as
to the rival necessities, of their con
stituencies for new- schools. The prop
osition to buy Mr. Best's property was
referred to the committee.
