COUNCILMEN TO
BE PROSECUTED
For Failure to Repair the City's Paved
Streets.
BOARD OP TRADE IN DEAD EARNEST
It Wiiii Voted Unanimously nt Last
Night' Combined Dinner nnd
.tlentlng to Direct Ex-Cily Solicitor
Torroy to Procure Indictments.
Nonrly Nlnoty Members nnd Appli
cants Attended tho Housing Meet
inc of tho rtoatd.
The numbers of both branches of
councils are to be prosecuted, not in
a perfunctory formal way but with all
the Influence nnd power of the Scranton
bonid of trade. Following tho supper
nnd during tho regular meeting of the
board last night K. B. Sturges made a
motion which prevailed, amid much
enthusiasm, that James II. Torrey bo
directed ns tho board's attorney to
pecuro Indictments against the mem
bers of councils for maintaining a nuis
ance In their failure to keep the clty'a
pavements in repair.
This action developed after a discus
sion of the 1898 city appropriation and
the report of Colonel F. L. Hitchcock
nnd 12. S. Williams, of the committee
on highways, in reference to their re
cent audience with tho Joint estlmntes
committee of councils, to -whom tno
fcwo centlomen. as board rcpreaenta-
tlvs, asked tint tho I.ackawnnna nnd
Washington avenue pavements be ro
sin face 1. The report of Colonel Hitch
cock nnd Mr. Williams was, in part, as
follows.
Tin question of rcsui facing tho asphalt
pavement on 1 ackawanna nnd Washing
ton a i inns, trom tho Lackawanna no
nuo biklgo In Ulbbun street, lias received
caieiul attention. lhi committee
went otr both streets with Mr. Phillip,
city engineer, and niude it careful esti
mate of tho jaidugo, which .oiild re
quire resurtatlng. iour committee then
wont before tho estimate committee of
councils and sii'mltted a statement to
Hum. This statement was sup
plemented by erbal lemarlcs by both
membeis ot tho committee, Intended to
Impress upon councils the necessity for
Immediate action ns recommended In or
dtr to s.ao theso pavements. A number
of Questions wero iiblced the committee
by councllmen, which wero promptly an
swered. RECEIVED WITH COURTESY.
Your committee tako pleasure In snylng,
they were received by tho estimates com
mltteo with tho utmost courtesy, but ho
far as getting tho required appioprlation
is concerned, our mission was a failure
Not for want of disposition on tho part
of the estimates committee, but for want
of funds. However, it does seem to your
committee, that some means Hhould be
found to Bavo these pavements, from
what threatens to bo absolute ruin, even
If somo other necessary matter had to
wait for a time. Somo things can wait,
without great danger or loss. Somo other
things cannot. These pavements belong
to tho latter class.
Here are 25,000 squaro jards of pave
ment in tho very heart of our busy city
which cost abutting owners over ?Gt,0u0.
Tho city has had the use and benefit of
them for twcHo years at a total cost for
repairs of about $'t,uM. Much less money
than tho streets could possibly have been
cared for without the paemcnts. They
aro now in an almost Impassable condi
tion and disintegrating with a rapidity
which not only threatens total destiuc-
tlon, but which renders travel ilpon them
unsafe. Yet we aro told that this condi
tion of affairs Is without remedy, owing
to tho present state of tho cits finances.
It has been suggested that an ordinance
bo passed Increasing tho bonded dfbt of
tho city, and monev so raised be "X
pended In needed city Improvements, in
cluding tlieso pavements But this can
onlv be done by a voto of the city at an
election held for that purpose, nnd If the
funds were to be raised in this way, it
would requlro from lour to blx months to
do It, Who can tell what the condition
of theso streets would bo at tho end ot
that time.
President George Sanderson, of select
council, supplemented the report with
some exhaustive statistics. His figures
showed thPt ftom lS'Jl to 1S9S inclusive
Increases in the appiopriatlons for the
fire department, electilc lights, police
department and street department
had been, respectively, $17,700, JJ4.700,
$18,200 nnd $9,000 in round numbeis.
This was to show, ns Mr. Sanderson
said, to what extent the city's most
important depaitment h'ad been sao
ilftccd in making appropriations from
vear to year. A bond Issue he advo
cated for a prcsnt source of funds and
an increased assessed valuation of
piopeity for future relief.
MUCH DAMAGE CAUSED.
Ebenezer Williams offered tho first
suggestion of possible dnmages. Ve
hicles were constantly being broken
and horses Injured on account of tho
dangerous condition of the pavements,
especially those of Lackawanna and
V ashlngton avenues, and-it was only
a question of time before some person
would recover damages for physical In
juries and nobody could foretell where
tho damages would end. Prosecutors
would certainly have a clear case.
Later in the meeting the regular or
der of buslnesfl ordinarily devoted to
what might como under the head of
new business was set aside for Im
promptu speeches by persons called
upon informally by President Luther
Keller. It was during this period that
emphatic action against the councils
was decided upon. James II. Torrey, In
his remarks, urged tho board to advo
cate city appropriations for general
purposed and to make a stand against
ward items which benefitted only cer
tain localities and consumed thous
ands of dollars that could be used to
better advantage to the city at large.
Tho neglect of pavements, he said, was
no less a legal than a moral offense.
Councllmen wero individually nmen
ablo to tho criminal law. On the ground
of public safety, councils could bo held
llablo for appropriating money for triv
ial purposes when it was plain from
tho clamor that the voice of the peo
ple was unanimously for pavement re
pairs.
MR. STURGES' REMARKS.
Mr. Sturges, when called upon by
President Keller, proceeded at once to
wnnn up to tho pavement repair ques
tion. Properties In which he was inter
ested had been assessed 14,000 for a
certain part of the Washington avenuo
pavement, when it was allowed to got
into disreputable disrepair nearly all
of tho property owners petitioned
councils townid the close of tho five
year period not to surrender the bond
of tho contractors until they complied
with the terms of their contract and
left tho pavement In good repair. Coun
cils promptly Ignored the" petition and
) permitted tho aurrender of tho bond
whllo tho pavement was positively dan
gerous. For one ho would not pay any
further Installments on the paving as
sessments until counclts provided for
repairs. He, individually, would pros
ecute councils, If necessary, to get the
rights to which ho was entitled by law.
The councllmen responsible for tho
present condition ot the pavements
should bo In Jail , ho said, and taught
that there Is a law.
Mr. Sturges concluded his rcmnrkfl
with tho motion mentioned In the fore
going. It was seconded by a score of
members and n topted by an unanimous
rising vote. Mr. Sturges' sentiments
wore later endorsed In lemnrks by W.
W. Watson, J. A. Lnnslng, select coun
cilman from the Seventeenth ward; B.
S. Williams, Colonel T. L. Hitchcock,
C. II, Pond and others.

Tho transportation committee through
Its chairman, J. M. Kemmcrer, reported
progress.
An important report was submitted
by T. J. Moore. D. M. Rcllly and Sam
uel Lebeck, of the membership com
mittee. It nas leeommended that the
membership (now ISO) should be not
lesa than 275, which would permit a re
duction ot the annual dues from $35 to
$20 nnd provide $1,000 annually for
Judicious advertising. The committee
suggested that the secretary send a
personal letter to each member request
ing each ono to secure at least one ap
plication in the next ninety days. To
cover tho suggestion that the annual
dues be reduced, the committee recom
mended nn amendment to tho by-laws
to read as follows:
REDUCTION OF DUES.
When tho membership of the board
numbers two bundled and seventy-live or
more, regular members of this associa
tion shall pay annual dues of twenty dol
lars, payable, ten dollars February 1, ten
dollars September 1. When tho member
ship of the board numbers less than two
hundred nnd seventy-five, regular mem
bers of this association shall pay annual
dues of twenty-five dollars. paable, fif
teen dollars February 1, ten dollars Sep
tember 1. In no case shall any4 one be
considered a mmbor until a membership
fee of fifteen dollars has been paid, the
payment of such fee to npply on dues
for tho cuircnt year; and when tho mem
bership feo Is not paid within three
months from tho time of election, the
name shall do dropped from the rolls.
The report was adopted. Under the
rules tho amendment cannot be finally
approved until the April meeting.
Captain W. A. May, for a special
committee, reported favorably on the
committees investigation of th'o Prran

g
Carpet profits are small profits always. Carpet
prices run about the same usually. No matter where you
go, one store sells about as low as another if the store
keeper bought in the regular way. No chance for any
"Great Sales." Still you see them advertised. Aud they
exist on paper, as a rule. Why ? Goods to be sold at
half price must be bought at half price. That's common
sense. But not a common occurrence. This is probably
the first time in Scranton. The Kerr &. Co. Stock is
ours. Every piece of it. Ours today, yours tomorrow.

KIMBALL.

Great musicians use Kimballa. Thb
testimony of musicians who command
a salary of from $1,000 to $2,000 for each
performance must bo accepted as hav
ing weight. They, at least, escape tho
chargo of not knowing what they aro
talking about. Lillian Nordlca Bays:
"Tho moro I use my Kimball piano tho
better I like it." Jean Do Rcszke says:
"We have concluded to purchase Kim
ball pianos for our personal use." John
Philip Sousa claims: "Tho Kimball
piano is first-class in every respect."
Somo of tho most beautiful cases In
walnut, mahogany and oak can be seen
here. I have somo fine largo pianos,
all colors, from $250 to $350, on easy
terms, and a term of lessons free.
