THE SOKANTON TRIBUNE-WEDNESDAY MOKNTNGK ' JANUARY 13, 1SJ)7. West Side Department BOARD OF TRADE MEETS Number of Important Matters Consid ered by tlifi Organlzallon-Lettcr from the Qcncrnl Manager Read. The West Side board of "trade met last evening und ns Is customary at the meetings now a pood deal of busi ness wnp transacted. The board de cided to renew the buttle for the via duct; the Price street opening was discussed and the extending ot Hyde Park street far lines was talked over. President E. M. Clarke was in the chair. There were present: William l'm-roll, Hon. John It. Fair. A. M. Morse, n. 1). Kvuns, W. It. Williams, Councllmon Joseph Oliver and Simon Thomas, Dr. J. J. Carroll. II. D. Jones, and Secretary Alfred Twining. After Hit- regular preliminary business, John It. Fa it reported for the contingent of members that assisted Mr. Oliver In his recent endeavor to push the via duct ordinance through council. Mr. Karr told how the ordinance was killed; how the councllmeii tacked on amend ment lifter amendment and how Coun cilman Oliver ilnally tabled the uriiln lince. Mr. Farr thought that the blankettordlnance, I. e., the congealed Improvements, might go through coun cils and It might be the only way by Which to get the viaduct. Mr. Oliver In defending his action in tabling the measure said that some of the amend ments offered were ridiculous and could never pass by a popular vote. ".The councihnen were not slnceie," mid Mr; Oliver; "they wanted to vote against the viaduct ordinance in its "original form but they hadn't the courage to do It. So they tacked on the dead weights." He thought that ho was right In tabling the ordinance. The board on "motloil of 1). DvEvans approved of Mr. Oliver's attitude in the matter. Mr. Jones stated to the board that he had notified the street commissioner regarding the bad depressions on the Corner of Price street and Chestnut Btreet. 13. D. Evans called nttentlon to the fact that George Brown, tne Robinson Street drayman, has a mud sidewalk In front of his property and he uses part '6t tlio same to store wagons and bar- rels, No action was taKen. ih regard to the opening of Price Street, Councilman Thomas was asked tb explain. The measure has passed councils, the mayor has signed It, and all is ready for the appointment of a board of viewers. Uefore this Is done, however, his honor wants to see Evan J. Davis, who owns part of the affect ed property. Mr. Davis has set his price, but the mayor thinks the price Is too high. In the matter of sewering the Lu zerne street territory the board was not acquainted with the nature of the ac tion taken by the sewers and drains committee of councils yesterday after noon. It Is given In another part of this department. Councilman' Thomas stated that an effort is being made to have a chemical-hose combination wagon on the West Side. Jackson .street will not be paved for awhile. The matter was brought up, but the fact that the West Side hospital is now lo cated on the street and owing to the low condition of the hospital treasury . 'it la upt likely that the property own ers will be asked to pay frontage for a pave. For a time, at least. The board at Its last meeting In structed Secretary Twining to send to councils a protest against the granting of the right of way on Lafayette street . to the Scranton Traction company. This letter was prepared, but General Manager Sllllman, heating of it, asked Mr. Twining to withhold it from councils until the Traction people and the board had met In conference. The following letter was sent to the secre tary: Mr. Twining: I am just in receipt of your letter regarding wxtunslons in Hyde Parkand I have carefully noted what you say. AVe are not yet quite prepared to decide as to the best route for the La fay Otto street extension In Hyde Park under present circumstance and considering the points brought out at our recent con ference with the committee of Hie West ,Jjlde board of trade In Hyde Park. Per sonally, i am inclining lo me aweiianu and Sumner or liiomluy street route for Leaching Lafayette street. Wo i-'ji.rt to be very shortly In a position to suy what We will definitely do. It seems to me that It Would be as well that the action of the West Side board of trade on our former plan for going straight out Lafayette street should be deferred. We are not do ing anything to further this plan and will not until we have gono thoroughly into the question of the proposed rout? via Swetland or Bromley or Sumner street. (Signed) Frank Sllllman, General Manager. The board desires the extension of the lines on this side and for this rea son the members do not comu to be antagonistic to the company hut if the Traction olUchjls attempt to track LafAyetJe street, the "board will fight.

Roland had tho subject "Just Walt Till Next Time" or as It appeared on the toast "1900." Nowhere, however, was there any allu sion to what lo a man on the fence would seem to be the most timely topic for discussion "Who Is the Democratic Party?" If the committee was a little at fault In its selection of toasts It was not so In its choice of speakers. lEach of those enumerated above did full Justice to the theme assigned him and with the eloquent prefatory speech of Coun ty Chairman T. J. Jennings, chairman of the banquet, and tho witty opening and happy introductions of the toast master, the eloquent and entertaining Colonel Frank J. FItzsimmous, a most enjoyable evening of oratory and wit was enjoyed. The first part of the evening's pro gramme was in keeping with what fol lowed and Landlord McBrldo has Just cause to feel proud of his efforts as a caterer. The dinner comprised seven full courses and lacked nothing ap propriate that the season affords. Lawrence's orchestra discoursed ex cellent music during the pi ogress of the dinner nnd. a colored quartette enliv ened the occasion with their merry melodies at Intervals during the post prandial exercises.

A Worthy Appeal. Editor of The Tribune. Sir: .Ion Mission of tho United Evangelical church will celebrate Its third anniversary next Sunday, Jan. 17. This church Is partially sup ported by the missionary society of the conference to which it belongs. It consists' of some forty actual members, all of the luborlng class. Tho several de partments consist of Sunday school, Keystono League of Christian Endeavor, a Junior society and a Ladles' Aid, all of which are rendering effectual service. The missionary contributions for this year will uverage at least $1.50 per mem ber, and other benevolent collections will be accordingly liberal, and for all pur poses will average no less than $10- per member. The actual cost of the church and lot Is a trlllu less than f3,2(X. A debt of about Jl.SUO rests on the said propeity. One pur pose of this anniversary Is to at least can cel the debt on tho church. In view of the forgoing modest state ment, wo believe, no more worthy cause appeals to the philanthropy of the people of this city than this one. And were It not for tho cause of Christ and In tho In terest of righteousness, wo could not pre sume even upon tho charity ot the public. But we do uppeul for aid because we are not ashamed of the cause we represent. How many of our generous citizens whom tho Lord appointed stewards will como to our help? Because of the many similar appeals, we assure you we shall ho grate ful for any contributions, however small. We earnestly Invito the public to our an niversary and solicit a hearty response to this appeal, Contributions may be sent to tho undersigned, who will cheerfully ac knowledge the same Respectfully yours, G.
