BOND ISSUE OF
OVER 700,000
Cnuncllmanlc Hobbles Represent Nearly
Thrcc-Quarlcrs nt a Million.

Honors 8200,000, Bopnvlng 901,

500 is Wanted.
The proposed new Issue of bonds con
templates the expenditure of nearly
tlnee-quarters of n million of dollars,
or, to be exact, J707.500. The expend
iture of much more than that nmount
hns been proposed If the hundred and
one hobbles and Individual schemes of
councllmen nnd city ofllclnls are In
cluded In tho estimate. Tho $707,500,
however, Is made up of only such Items
ns have met v Itli more or less favor
and support.
Scranton's bonded Indebtedness on
April 1 will amount to $642,000. Ac
cording to law the city can issue bonds
to only 7 per cent, of its nsscRsed valu
ation. Councils can authorize bonds
for 2 per cent, of thl3 valuation, but
the remaning 5 per cent, can only be
Issued by nuthorlty of the people nt
the polls. It is this restriction which
made it necessnry for the electors to
authorize the last bond Issue, which
wns for bridges.
It Is estimated that tho tecent assess
ment will show a valuation of $23,000,
000. On Juno 1 the exact total will have
been determined nnd a return of the
assessment mnde to the city treasurer
for collection. Based on tho $23,000,000
the city Is now bonded 2.79 per cent.,
leaving a leeway of 4.21 per cent, to be
authorized by the people. The $707,500
would Incren&e the total Indebtedness
to fi.G." per cent, or within 1,35 per cent,
of the legal limit.
AMOUNTS WANTED.
Foitunately an issue of more than
$32fi,000, enough for sewers, repaying

THE SEWER IMPROVEMENTS.
The only Improvements enumerated
In the foregoing statement that would
not be subject to much change are the
sewer improvement. Further It is cer
tain that sewers would bo Included In
any bond proposition nmounting to
more than $200,000. For repaying It Is
equally certain that some provision
would be mnde, though possibly not for
bo many blocks as are Indicated in the
statement. For Lackawanna avenue to
AVnshlngtnn avenue and for the later
to Gibson street, however Buch a popu
lar clamor has been raised by the
board of trade and property owners
and Individuals generally who use
horses, that those sections would posi
tively be provided for.
Under the head of general Improve
ments tho most likely Items nre for
opening AVyomlng avenue, for a brldgo
nt tho Driving park, for a flro nnd
pollco heudquutters and for Improve
ments to the city hall nnd grounds.
The viaduct, paik improvements and
other Items nre unknown quantities,
although tho public, it Is belloved.would
most willingly vote $75,000 for parks if
councllmanio pulls did not keep that
Item off tho Issue to be voted for.
The only well-fancied Items under the
head of street Improvements aro those
Involving $1,000 for the straightening
and paving of Mattes street and $3,000
for the city's share or the upper Lack
a wanna avenuo pavement. For the
Mattes street improvement the central
city and South Sldu wards would stand
solid,
Until somo tlmo after the annual re
organization of councils, nearly three
weeks hence, tho bond Issue Idea will
not bo mentioned in councils to any
definite end,
