MR. MOIR TRIED TO IMPEDE IT Hut tho Ordinance Unit Soma Acllvo CliniuploiiB nnd It Went Through on Thirteen Allirmutlvo Votes. Now Ordinance Tor CIcnniiiK tho Streets by Contrnct--lu Select Council Home Important Measures woro JJotli Considered nnd Intro duccd. Both branches of council were In ses sion last night. Although President Sanderson's, knockout of the South Side sewer which Is reported In another column cversh'adowlnfr all other busi ness, there was ample material left for a breezy time, particularly In com mon council where the select ordinance was vigorously opposed by Mr. Moir. It now awaits only the mayor's signa ture to become operative. The ordinance was called up for third reading by Mr. JCeidler. In objecting to its passage Mr. Moir said: "I do not oppose this measure, Mr. chairman, on the ground that the Im provement la unecessary. I think the ordinance Is faulty nnd ambiguous and this should encourage special opposi tion to it In view of the great amount of money Involved. Where Is the money to com from? The ordinance doet not provide for it. "There are four methods whereby the expense might, under certain circum stances, be met: First, out of the gen eral revenue, but that Is an Impossi bility nt this time. Second, by bonds which would have to be authorized by the people a doubtful contingency. Third, by special levy; tout this could not be done as the limit of the bonded Indebtedness by vote of tho people has already been leached. Fourth, by ap pointment of viewers and luduments against tho city which would bo col lected to the detriment of the rejrulur city departments and would be a bad precedent." Mr. Moir was inclined to believe that possibly tho otdinanr-c was harmless and would never reach a board of view ers. In support of this argument ho related the history of the West Side viaduct In which court refused to ap point vleweis. The circumstances, he said, were Identical and the result might be the same. FOR THE ORDINANCE. Mr. Ollroy cited the ordinance for opening Price street as a measure for which Mr. Moir voted before viewers were appointed. In reply Mr. Moir said the two ordinances were not an nlagous, for In the case of Price street there was something tangible before councils and that the members knew tho limits of the ordinance. The ordinance passed third reading; by the following vote of 13 to 3. Ayes Gordon, Grler, Regan. Flanagan, Wenzel, Wlrth, Sweeney, Zeidler, Noone, Sheridan, McGrall, Norton, Nealls. Nays Moir, Jackson, Oliver. Not voting Gilroy. Absent Ree&e, Thomas, Walker, Kel ler. Mr. Ollroy explained he was an Inter ested prorerty-owner and could not le gally vote on the measure. A communication was received from the city engineer and street commis sioner in relation to their inspection of the Fourth district main sewer in tho Seventh ward. The letter was referred to the joint streets and bridges com mittee. After describing the condition of the sewer from the outlet at the Lackawanna river to the Inlet on Pop lar street near lohnson's mines, recom mendation is made that the-e be three direct connections with the sewer at Washington avenue as recommended by the city engineer to councils, Jan. 5, 1897. A copy of the recommendations of a year ago was enclosed, together with the following: Wc estimate the cost for clcan "ng, repairing rip-rap, nrefc. sidewalks, narrowing the Wash ington avenue culvert and three connections with the tewer $ Cll T5 Improvements at liver 2,126 00 Total for main sewer $2,737 75 City portion for constiuctlon of Wyoming avenue sewer 400 GO Grand total .... ..$3,1S' NEW MEASURES. Among the new measures Introduced was an ordinance by Mr. Reese provid ing for the cleaning of paved streets by contract. The ordinance directs the street commissioner before March 1 of each year to advertise for bids ac cording to a schedule and specifications to be prepared by him and to award the contract to the lowest responsible bid der. The ordinance was lef erred for printing. A resolution offered by Mr. Jackson was adopted directing the city engi neer to establish a ffrade on all un graded streets. Ordinances, all common council meusures, passed three leadings as fol lows: Regulating the salaries of per manent firemen; transferring funds in the hands of the city treasurer to the Scranton Voluntrer Firemen's Relief association; providing for the con struction of the Stlpu court sewer. IN SELECT COUNCIL. Select council received and referred to committee the following proposals to furnish coal to the various city buildings: James M. Murray & Son, $2.14, $1.70, SO cents; M. A. Donohue, $2.43. $1.43; P. Gllmore. $2.44, $1.44, $1; James Kearney, $2.D0, $1.50. The prices refer, respectively, to the larger slze.s and pea and buckwheat coal. The city engineer's communication In relation to the widening of Carbon street, containing an estimate of cost of paving 'that thoroughfare and rec ommending the removal of the steam railway pillars in the street, all of which was published In last Friday's Tribune, was received from select council, On motion of Sir. Roche the communication was referred to a spe cial Joint committee of three members from each branch with insttuctlons to confer with the city engineer and the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad and Lackawanna Iron and Coal companies and present a leport. President Sanderson appointed Messts. Roche, Finn and Ross. The two select council ordinances providing for a sewer syMf-m or North Main avenue, Providence road and Phllo street in the North End and in tho Nineteenth district on the West Side were reported favorably and passed two readings. There also passed two readings a batch of electrlo light ordinances from among the eleven pro viding for sixteen new lights, all of which had been reported favorably by tho light and wnter committee. Mr. Chittenden endeavored to prevent ac- tlon on the ordinances by a motion that they all be referred back toiconi mlttee for further Investigation, but the motion was lost. , Among the new resolutions intro duced were the following: Mr. Chit tenden Directing the hauling of manure from the fire department houses to the city's parks by lire de partment horses: Mr. Wagner direct ing the city engineer to establish a grade on Union street, from Ash street to the land of the Lackawanna Iron nnd Coal company; Mr. McAndfew directing the repair of Franklin Engine company at a cost not to exceed $400. The latter measure was adopted with out debate. A resolution was Introduced by Mr. Fellows, directing the city engineer to prepare nn estimate of cost for relay ing and repairing such old sewers ns are not large or perfect enough for proper drainage. An ordinance creating the office of plumbing Inspector was Introduced by Mr. Manley. APPLICATION NOT VOID Judge Archbald Hands Down an Im portant Opinion In the Matter of the Incorporation of Mooslc Borough. Judge Archbald gave a new Interpre tation to another law, yesterday. This time It is the Act of June 2fi. 1895, P. U, 389, that our president Judge declines to read as some of his brother Jurists have road it. The act stripped of Its legal verbiage says that when application Is made for tho creation of a borough tho same shall be disposed at tho term of court following the llllng of the application. The question was brought up locally In the case of the pioposed borough of Mooslc. Application for tho crea tion of the boiough was made April 17, 1S97. Owing to the Judges being busy and other various like causes, the hearings on the matter were regularly continued from time to time, until finally last December the matter came up In argument court, and the object ors made the claim that the applica tion for tho new borough was voided by reason of Its not having been heard at tho llrst term of eouit succeeding Its piesentallon. The court listened to arguments on this nnd other exceptions, but declined to listen to the merits of the appli cation until the matter of jurisdiction wns disposed of. Yesterday Judge Aichbald disposed of this question of jurisdiction by re fusing to dismiss the petition nnd or dering that the case come up on Its merits for final disposition at the next term of argument couit. Notwithstanding previous interpreta tions to the contrary. Judge Archbald says he can not bilng himself to hold that tho legislature intended a court should lay aside all other business, no matter how important It might be. to listen to nnd dispose of applications Jjor the creation of boroughs. As long as the case Is regularly continued from term to term it Is not voided by the act in question. Three of tho other exceptions were also overruled. The first contended that all the petitioners were not free holders, as the petition averred; the second was to the effect that Mill Creek and the Lackawanna river are not definite and stable boundaries as re quired by law, and the third contend ed that the descriptions of the villages to bo comprised In the proposed bor ough are vague nnd Indefinite. Other exceptions which enter into the merits of the case will be disposed of when tile final hearing has taken place. 00NZAIN0 IS WAITING. An X-Ray Picture Will Ilnve to Show Where tho Itullet Is.

IMnco Whoro Stray Tnbuios Arc Kept and Protected. Washington Cor. Chicago Tribune. One of the most floulshlns Institu tions in Washington is the "cat shel ter" which Is being run as a branch of the Humane society. There are now about seventy-five tabbies of varying degrees of personal beauty and strength of character being cared for at the shelter, which contains large grounds surrounded with wire netting to foice the cats to stay where th'ey are well treated. Th obiect ot the shelter Is to rid the city of homeless and dlseaFed cats without killing them, and several charitable women are de voting much time to the curious Insti tution. The society sends for the ani mals on being requested to do so by telephone or postal card, and when once In the shelter there Is nothing to good for the waifs of the alleys and back fences. They have bread and milk for breakfast, meat for dinner, and fish for supper. There are depart ments in the shelter in which are segre gated the handsome and healthy cats, then the kittens, third the Invalids, and ilnally the boarders. This last clnss Is rapidly Increasing, for the so ciety takes care of cats for 25 cents For GREAT Remember You can buy a Stylish Coat or Cape Cheaper of where.
