.'Clio proponed paving would Involve
one of the biggest and most expensive
;, Improvements In the city's history. The

Jino,Sf)J.10, accmidlng to whether tin-
- pliftlr;' brick or stone Mock Is used,

CITY KNOINEElt'.S LETTER.
Tho following letter from City En
gineer Phillips to councils will give it
comprehenplve idea of tlie proposition:
Ocnttemen of Councils I have mnile a
iuirvoy of Piovldence road from Sandy
Banks bridge to Hull's Head, or North
Mtf.lti'nvc'nu and uf Nortli .Main avenue
lrom liull'n Head to the city line at
Dickson city.
From Rnndy Banks bridge to Tripp's
lavlne 1 (1ml no trouble, and have agreed
with the Did.iwurc. Lackawanna and
Western company for a 50-foot stici;t.
From Tripp's ravine to Hull's Head the
street line ami width of strict are very
indefinite, bilng In seme placcB fifty feet
mid In otliern furly-Ilve feet wide, apil
properly ovncrs still claim to own more
of the street. Between Tripp's ravine
nnd Court street i-omdderahlu griid'.iii;
would liavi to lie dope, and verv ex
pensive retaining walls would have to
lie built before this portion of the street
could be paved. The street ear track
between the last named points Is on
private ground. The property owners
on east Klde of (.aid track claim to own
some land between the .street ear track
and tbo road proper.
As a suggestion to your honorable
bodies, Sfi as to avoid the trouble with
tho street lines, grading nnd the ex
pensive retaining walls between Tripp's
ravine and Hull's Head, mentioned
above, I have made a survey from Prov
idence road along Diamond avenoii to
Wood street, and Wood street from Dia
mond avenue to North .Main avenue,
near liull's Head and tlnd a 59-foot street
nil the way with much less grade than
on Providence road.
LIST OI.' ESTIMATES.
Enclosed you will llnd a list of esti
mates fur paving the said Providence
Mad nnd North Main avenue, based on
the following:
Anphalt C-lnch concrete base, P Inches
of binder and 2 Inches of wearing sur
face. Stono block Cinch concrete base, 2-Inch
sand cushion nnd tor tilling.
Vitrified brick C-lnch concrete base, 2
.Ineli sand cushion and tar tilling.
Alt of the estimate Include onllnnrv
grading, curbing, tile drain anil Inci
dentals, but nothing for grading or re
taining walls near Tripp's ravine.
Very respectfully,
Joseph I'. Phillips,
City Engineer.
The estimate of cost of the several
plans, routes, truck arrangement, etc..
Is as follows:
Approsimuto estimate of cost for paving Providence road and North Main nve
nuo from the Sandy Banks bridge to tho city lino; roadway figured at 31
feet between emb lines:

With single truck and switches at pres

Itlio nnd Wood street deducted 15C.C57 10
Via Diamond avenue and Wood street
with douhlo tracks em wholo length of
street und double tracks on Diamond
avenue and Wood btrcet deducted.
Wood strict runs west from tho
Lucbawnniiu river to North Main ave
nue. It Is three blocks north of Court
street and lies between Jones and Plillo
stuots.
COMPANY WILLING.
Woll posted members of select coun
cil are The Tribune's authority for the
statement that the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western company, which
owns tho land on each side of Provi
dence Bond for about three-quarters of
u mile across tlie Diamond Hats, Is
willing to Join In a petition for the
pavement If It Is wanted by u major
ity of tlie property owners.
Tliu dltriculty experienced by the city
engineer in making the asphalt esti
mate is indicated in the fluctuating
bids of two paving rompnnles. the Bar
ker, undithe Columbia, who have done
Uiui'li TVnk In tthls city. The Colum-hia'-
company has in Heading secured
a contract on n bid much lower than
was made for paving Mulberry street
and the Ilarber company has In other
cities recently made currebpondlngly
lpv .proposals.

DONATIONS FOR THE HOME
Worlliy Institution Was Remembered In
a Very Substantial Manner.
Those Who Contributed.
Tlie annual donation day nt the Homo
for tho Friendless wns not greeted by
tho Btinshlne usually bestowed on this
occasion, but there was sunshine In
tho hearts of tin managers and the
destitute old people and little children
who know no other homo, us they saw
the proofs of remembrance pour In
from tho hands of loving friends nil
owr tho city nnd oven from beyond its
limits.
The face of Mrs. Walker, the faith
ful little matron glowed hist night ns
she eald, with tears in her eyes: "Oil
I am so happy this night! Just pec
how good the people of Seranton are
to us. I wIMi we could thank them,
every one. Such lovely tilings ns they
have sent, nnd the blessing they will
be to us this long winter!"
It was indeed n sight to mnke one
glad, tlie parcels of groceries, tlie bar
rels of fruit nnd vegetables, tne warm
clothing and tho many other moat wel
come gifts. Then there' were myster
ous letters, the contents of which
caused Mrs. D. E. Taylor, tlie tr-nsurer,
to smile with' mush satisfaction ns
checks and bank notes dropped on the
tublo.
Tlie amount received up to Inst eve
ning was $372.S7, which will be a great
help in bearing tho running expenses
during the coming months. There are
others yet to hear from who never fall
to remember the Home on donation
day, and thro rj still others who
have never contributed but who wisli
U send their gifts at this time. The
nanus of these will appear later.
There were many generous dona
tions of goods of various kinds. Pota
toes wore not .-tent in by tho car load,
however, and it Is hnried that many
contributions of these und of soap, sug
nr nnd, Indeed, any articles useful In
:i home, will la sent in today or later.
In order to give others an opportunity
to contribute to the cash fund or to
tho store of necessaries, arrangements
have been made to receive gifts to
day and tomorrow, tlie acknowledg
ment of which will appear appended
to this list. The following was re
ceived yesterday:
