lur of Scrunton capital. In every In
Htanco It has been foreign cupltal
brought to our city and expended among
our people by th employment of labor,
In the erection of buildings, and for ma
teriul, muchlnery, etc.
NOT SOLICITING STOCK.
About one yiur ago the manufacturers'
committee submitted a report to this
body, in which they said that In their
judgment it was not wise to encourage
industries to locate hero who required,
as an inducement, the Investment of lo
cal capital in their enterprises, and sug
gested that if fluunclal aid was required
it bo loaned on bond and mortgage. Dur
ing tho past year mm havo worked en
these lines. Wc have not solicited one
dollar of thu stock of any enterprise.
In ono Instance wo arranged to place
$20,000, first mortgage, 0 per cent, bonds,
on a plant to cost 570,000. In another hi
nt unco certain builders ugieed to take
U) per cent, of the cost of bulldlnfr in llrnt
mortgage r, per cent, bonds, piovlded
they received the contract, in atlll nn
olher lnstanco we made the same ar
rangement; but since tho erection of the
plant has been begun, the parties of the
llrht part have concluded not to issue
uny bonds, preferring to pay cash.
One hundred thousand dollars (In round
numbers) will havo been expended on
buildings nlono for manufacturing plants
aeciircd through the efforts of thu Uoard
of Trade during the past year. These
constitute u large silk mill now being
erected In the Tenth ward, the main
building of which Is of brick, IfcO feet
long by SO feet wide, two stories high,
wlht u large ell for engine and holler
room; a largo silk ribbon mill which will
be erected In tho south side section of
tho city, plans for which are completed
und building will commence as soon as
tho weather permits; this will bo fully
us large as the Tenth ward mill and will
employ about 400 hands. A woolen mill
now being built Just below the city lino
in tho borough of Taylor; this mill will
employ about 200 hands. They will
manufacture woolen goods for gents'
clothing. This Is the first Industry ot
the kind in this section. An nnnex to
the Carbondale silk mill has also been
established In this city. They occupy
three floors In tho building adjoining the
Jlears' building on alloy between Wash
ington and Adams avenues, and will
employ about forty hands.
In this connection I desire to say that,
In my judgmont, It would bo well to stop
and consider before encouraging the lo
cation of any more Industries employing
femalo help; at least for the present.
There aro (or will bo when tho mills
now being built and contemplated aro in
full blast) about B.000 females employed
In tho city. With a population of over
100,000 this does not seem a very large
number; yet I am ot the opinion thut to
Increase tho number to any largo extent
would not bo fair to those already locat
ed hero, who were Induced to come be
euuso of tho abundunco of such help to
bo had. I am aUo confident that wo can
best servo tho Interests of our city by
bringing here n divcrslllcd lino of Indus
tries rather than centering our Intercuts
on ono particular kind. I merely make
theso suggestions hoping they may bung

out a discussion ulong these lines which
will bo beneficial to nil concerned.
A shirt factory, employing fifty hands,
has been established on Adams nvenue.
Within tho next thirty days sixty addi
tional machines wilt be Installed, which
will Increase the working forco to ovur
100 people. They report more orders than
they ca,n fill with their present capacity.
A company has also been organized
and plant equipped for tho manufacture
of electric bicycle and mining lamps.
Their plant Is situated on Capouse ave
nue. You will remember Mr. Hubbcll,
the Inventor ot tho lamp, exhibited It,
alone with his prlmury batter, In our
rooms on Lackawanna avenue, some two
years ago.
.Negotiations for the erection of a laigo
carpet mill were completed early In the
fall; but for some reason unknown to the
writer tho pioject was abandoned,
COMPARISON ENCOUHAGINU.
A careful comparison of the condition
ot our Industries Jan. 1, 1WS, with that
ot one year ago, Is liHeed encouraging.
While In nu sense could tho word
"boom" be used In this connection, nor
has tho levlval been all that could be
dedred; yc so evident Is the change
for the better that Wo are certainly to-be
congratulated. All our fabric and silk
mills are In ooetatlon, employing a full
complement of hands, and In most cases
working overtime, Tho furniture uphol
stering plant Is hardly able to keep up
with the Increased demands for its
goods. Our steel und Iron mills have
worked more days during the past six
mouths than during any like period In
several years. In fact. 1 know ot but
one Industry In this city thnt Is not
working full, and thnt is the Scranton
(Jlass company. Right here 1 desire to
remark that steps Bhould be taken to put
this plant In operation. A few years ago
the glass company was working full,
empolylng Kiio men and boys, and paying
to Its employes the largest wages of any
concern In the city. Tho Oleen Hldgu
section, In which this plant Is located,
has severely felt the loss; lnlact, tho
whole city has suffered to a greater or
less extent by the closing of there exten
sive works, l'ropetty in the immediate
vicinity has depreciated In value, and a
Plant representing over jrSO.OW la goliu
to rack and ruin. I belleu thut by prop-
something that Is needed In the city, and
nlte was accomplished.
Among municipal Improvements during
the past year the paving of Mulberry
street with usnhalt Is to bo especially
noted. An ordinance, providing tor the
pavement of Providence road and North
Main nvenue from Carbon street to the
city line. Is now before councils una
should be unanimously parsed, and the
work completed ut the earliest possible
moment. This street is the main artery
to our city from the northern country
districts, and is much traveled, it Is at
present In a most disgraceful condition,
almost Imnassable, and a 3tandlng men
ace to our boasted pride and enterprise.
A number of extensive buildings have
been erected during the past year in the
business section ot the city, notably the
Connell building on Washington avenue,
eight stories high, of Indiana limertone,
fire proof, and embodying all modern im
provements and conveniences, and the
Colliery Engineer company buildings oil
Wyoming avenue, one ot native stone,
flvo stories high, ot massive proportions
nnd bountiful nichltccturn, in tho rear of
which Is another large four-btory build
ing of the same material, to bo used by
them as n printing olflce. Tho general
public does not begin to appreciate tho
value of such an Industry uh the Colliery
Engineer company or the Important part
it takes in promoting the welfare of our
city. It Is doing more to advertise
Scranton than any other medium. Their
literature Is mailed to every city and
town In every state of the Union. They
employ over 400 bunds In this city, nnd
pay out thousands of dollars weekly In
wages. A little Idea of the magnitude of
their business can be had from tho fact
that their postage bill ulono amounts to
over J2.&00 uer month.
The erection of the large department
store on .the bite of the Wyoming house
Is alfo a notable event In the history of
the city. I am reliably informed by ono
who knows, that there are few more
complete or convenient department
stores In the United States, my inform
ant having visited all like stores of uny
note In the country.
NEW DANK UUII.DINU.
The Scranton Saving bank's beautllul
building on Wyoming avenue is also
among the new enterprises of the year,
nnd Is a substantial evidence of the
thrift and enterprise on the part ot that
Institution. This Is also truo of the
Home for the Friendless in the comple
tion of their elegant new homo on North
Washington avenue.
Our banks have all shown un increased
surplus and deposits during tho year.
Tho total cuuitnl of the nine Scranton
banks Is tl,4SO,000; surplus, 1,iS3.UO0; un
divided profits, 1207,470.12; deposits, $U,
SOU, SOI."!, un increase in deposits of over
lit per cent.
The Anthracite coal trade has been
unusually active up to within tho pui.t
two months: but. owing to the mild
went her of tho Into fall and early whiter
months, the deinund has fallen ufl' con
siderably with n consequent decrease In
mining. The tnnmigo for the year was
22,371,01.1 tons, a decrease from last veur
ot 1.217.S23 tons.
A feature to abolish fake advertising
In the city was lately suggested und
adopted by the Uoard of Trade. All so
llcltors aro obliged to procure u certifi
cate from the board before they can
secure business from Its members. The
scheme Is working nicely und is ery
populur among business inou generally.
It should bo tho menus of largely In
creasing tlm membership of the board.
Ten meetings were held during tho
year; the usual vucatlon duilng July und
August was taken. Many matters of lo
cal and national Interest were dlseussd.
At tho meeting of the Nitloual Uoard
of Trade, held in Washington lust
month, wo were ably lepresentcd by W.
A. May nnd V. I.. Hitchcock. A number
ot matter suggested by this board re
ceived favorable consideration ut thu
hands ut the national bod.
The lack of proper literature, thut
which would depict the Industrial, social
hud educational features of our elfv,
and for which there Is u constant and In
creasing demand from manufacturer
und professional men who dctdre to lu
cute In Scranton, Is severely fell by your
secretnry. Did the finances or the board
warrant It, 1 would suggest humethlng
on tlm order of our ISOS report. It should
be printed on good paper, neatly bound
and piofusely illustrated, Such u book
would cost about t,uu0. Advertisements
could be solicited to cover cost, but I
unction the mlvlsublllty of such a
course, Perhaps If Ihls matter was re
ferred to tho publication committee,
some meuiiH could be devised wheieby
this wunt could bo supplied,
Tho membership of the hourd was In
creased somewhat during the past year
yet It Is far below whut It ought to be.
This organization should number ut leust
two hundred und titty members. Every
business concern 'In tho city should be
represented In the Hoard of Trade. They
owo It to themselves, they owo It lo tho
city; and above ull they should encour
age by their fluunclal aid a body that has
during tho past twenty-eight years done
so much for the city and either directly
or Indirectly assisted In making It what
It Is.

It will bo seen from the foregoing thnt

theso beautiful quarters In a most ap

addition to that tho expense of tho most
successful and largely attended banquet
ever given under the auspices of this or
ganization was met without cost to tho
members.
Our current bills aro all paid in full
to date. There Is yet a small balance duo
for extra lloor assembly room which con
easily be paid out of tho funds received
from assessments due February 1st.
There Is an unpaid balance due from
members of $ . In this connection I
can only repeat what I said In my lnst
report, namely, to urge upon every mem
ber the prompt payment of dues as soon
as statement Is received. Had wo tho
amount of arrearages now due from
members in the treasury, tho question of
supplying tho much needed literature
herein referred to could easily be solved
through which a great amount of good
could bo accomplished for our city and
every Individual citizen In It.
In my last report I spoke of the ad
visability of the Board of Trade acquir
ing this property under the terms of tho
agreement made with the Heal Estnto
company. I flm still of the opinion that
to purchase it would be a wise step on tho
part of the uoard or Trade, under tno
terms of tho agreement the board can
purchase the stock or the Heal Estate
company any time within tho next three
yenrs at $110 per share. I am informed
that a number ot the present stockhold
ers are willing to donate all or part of
their holdings to the Uoard of Trade In
order that It may own the property. I be
lieve if ninelv thousand dollars could bo
raised ninf ' ' the jnembers the entire
stock of th company could be pur
chased. The building Is rented complete,
with the exception of one store room;
this will be occupied April 1st. There
will then be an Income of nearly $20,000.00
annually. There Is a mortgage of $120,000.00
at flvo per cent against the property nnd
preferred six per cent stock of $20,000.00,
or. In other words, an Interest chargo of
$7,000.00, leaving a bnlauoo of $13,000.00
from which to pay the running expenses,
taxes. Insurance, etc. I would suggest
that this matter be referred to the build
ing committee for their early considera
tion. FOR EAHI.Y ATTENTION.
There are several matters of the ut
most Importance that should receive the
early and earnest attention of the sev
eral committees ot this board;
First The canalization of tax assess
ments. While this matter has been dis
cussed at considerable length during tho
past year, yet no definite move has been
uttempted.
Second The adjustment of freight
rates from Scranton to points west and
Houth. ThlB question was leferred to a
fcpeclal committee, with Instructions to
mako a personal appeal to the tariff
commission of New York, but ns yet
nothing definite hns been accomplished.
Third The paving of the alleys of the
central city. This matter has received
the earnet consideration of both the
Board of Health and this body, with no
Indication of udvuneement In the mnt
ter. The public health demands that
these disease breeding nrterlcs of the
lty be cleansed and that at the earliest
possible moment.
Fourth That proper sign boards be
erected at all street Intersections. At
present It Is almost Impossible to direct
n stranger to uny part of the city. Even
In the country districts you will find n
sign pointing tho wuv and naming the
road; but In this city, with Its number
less Htreets. avenuis and alleys, there is
not a thing to enlighten the stranger as
to where he Is or how he urrived there.
In this respect at least, Scranton is ubout
half a century behind time. Let us not
boast of our enterprise and progressive
ncss with this gluiing Inconsistency
staring us In the face und calling dowii
upon ns the wrath of tho lost stranger
within our gates.
It Is sincerely hoped that the ex-presl-dents
who huvf not yet signified their in
tention to donate a portrait of them
selves to the board, will do so at their
earliest convenience, ns It Is very much
desired to have tho number complete.
Before closing this report it seems to
me proper that 1 should mnku, more than
nn ordinary and stereotyped expression
of my thanks and the thanks of the
board to the newspapers of the city.
They havo borne a peculiar and Impor
tant part In keeping alive the Interest ot
the general public In the doings of this
body; und, not considering nny benetlts
received from a newspaper standpoint,
they and their representatives have beer,
imbued with our progressive spirit and
anxious at nil times to help us, 1 think
this Mtntement will be borne out by
those members who have, with me,
stood us mediums between the board
and tho public, nnd aro thus conversant
with the fuels, The newspapers certain
ly deserve our gratitude,
In conclusion, permit me to express my
hearty nnd sincere thanks to the officers
and members of the board for all the
kindnesses extended to mo in my official
capacity during the yenr Just closed If
it Is my fortune to be ni.ii In entrusted
with tho affairs of the ofllce, It shall be
my constant endeavor to ho perform the
duties that these pleasant relations may
not be disturbed,
