The special Joint bond ordinance
committee of councils held its Initial
meeting last night In the city clerk's
olllce. Tho whole of the session was
devoted to an Informal discussion of
the proposed Issue and the temporary
designation of such expenses ns might
be met by n bond Issue.
There wero present: Messrs. Lans
ing nnd Sanderson, of Belect council,
and Jackson, Norton nnd Oliver, of
the lower branch. Mr. McCann, ot se
lect council, wis the only absentee.
Mr. Lansing was unanimously elected
chairman of tho Joint committee.
llcforo nny business of a definite na
ture was transacted Mr. Sanderson
outlined his views on whnt should bo
tho committee's couise. Ills aeas, In
formally expressed, seemed to meet
the approval of the other members.
He thought tho committee should rec
ommend no expenditure that wns based
on an indefinite estimate; that the
preparation of n teport to councils
should not be hastened; that consider
ation of any proposed Improvement or
nny contemplated expense should be
subject to further action, and that no
Item for the city's shnie of sewer con
struction should be Included In the re
port until the reports of viewers had
been confirmed In court.
snwnii nsTiMATn, askrd.
City Engineer Phillips was directed
to submit an estimate of the city's
shaie of the cost of seweis now pro
vided for In ordinances passed or pend
ing; nlsn to submit tho difference be
tween his estimate and the viewers'
nward on the city's share of expense
on the South Side sewer.
The city engineer wns directed to
fuinlsh the committee with the plans
for each of the three proposed West
Lackawanna avenue viaducts. One
route Is along the center of the ave
nue, tho fcecond Is along the sites of
buildings that would have to be con
demned on the southerly side of the
thoroughfare and the other has Its
western tei minus at Nealls court. The
question of damages Is something the
committee will consider later.
City Engineer Phillips was nlso di
rected to Inform the committee as to
the piobable cost of a portable asphalt
repair plant.
One of the most Importnnt questions
consldeicd was that of paik improve
ments. It Is considered Imoortant
from the fact that this expenditure, it
Is believed, will be the most favoiably
received when the bond proposition Is
submitted to popular vote. The com
mittee voted to request of tho park
commissioners a detailed estimate of
cost for Improving the parks accord
ing to the landscape and other plans
now possessed by the latter.
OPENING WYOMING AVENUE.
Although the damages Involved In
the proposed opening of Wyoming ave
nue will piobably not be determined
until viewers are appointed, the com
mittee decided to request Mayor
Hailey to submit what particulars are
at his command In reference to the set
tlements now being attempted by the
commission named bv the councils.
This commission consists of Mayor
Hailey. City Solicitor McGlnley and
City Controller Uoblnson.
Information ns to tha cost of the
necessary le-surfacing of asphalt pave
ments wns requested of Street Com
missioner Dunning.
That the committee looks with pos
sible favor on the urgently-recom
mended fire depattment headquarters
building pioposed for tho site in the
lear of the city hall, was Indicated In
directions to the city cleik and build
ing Inspector to infoim the committee
lespcctlng the plans prepared two
yeais ago by Architect Walters, the
cost, building specifications, etc.
City Clerk Lavelle was directed to
furnish partlculais In reference to the
lease, contract, option for purchase,
etc., concerning the fire alarm system
now rented from the Gamewell com
pany. The crematory lot was a minor
matter consldeicd. The city now pays
ii.terest on the land which can be pur
chased for $3,000.
THE TOTAL AMOUNT,
ltoughly estimated, the matters un
der consideration last evening Involve
$448,000. This sum Is too small or too
huge, according to what plan nnd route
Is considered for the viaduct. It was
the committee's opinion that the ordin
ance of eounclls providing for n pop
ular vote on the bond Issue, would
hnve to specify tho Improvement con
templated and the exact amounts to
be devoted to each.

The case of W. W. Williams against
Winifred Henly. was heard yesterday
by Attorney B. F. Tlnkham, ucting as
referee. This is a feigned issue framed
by the court to determine the validity
of a Judgment note. The defendant
denies that she signed the note In suit,
and also claims that It Is barred by the
statute ot limitations, and pleads cover
tuie. The plaintiff claims that the defen
dant did sign the note, that It was
given for necessaries, and that the de
fendant promised to pay it within six
years. Ex-Judge Knapp represented
the defendant and Atorney A. A. Vos
burg appenied for the defendant.

CASUS 11EA11D.
In argument court yesterday the Im
portant cafe In equity brought by Jo
seph J. Jermyn against the twenty-olio
school colli rollers of tho city was honrd
before Judges Archbald nnd Gunster.
Attorney I. H. Burns represented Mr.
Jermyn, and Attorney D. J. Heecly, the
defendants.
Tho plaintiff nlleges that tho school
tax should Vjo levied upon the valuation
made by the county assessors, which Is
$3,000,000 lower than the valuation nnde
by the city assessors. If tho inlllagv
for school purpose this year be the
Mime as last. 11 mills, there will be 512,
000 lots school tax for the taxpayers to
pay If the plaintiff wins
The act ot nsemby chartering Scran
ton as a city was passed in lfGG. In
1Si37 a supplement was passed author
izing the levying of taxes for nil city
purposes, poor, school, special, and gen
eral, and It fixed the city valuntlon ns
the basis upon which such tax should
be assessed. Mr. Burns aigued that
the supplementary act H unconstitu
tional because Its title Is defective. Tha
title simply reads, "an uct Intended to
dellne tho rights and powers of cities."
Mr. Burns argued that the unconstitu
tionality of the supplementary uct ic
qulres tho bonid to go back to the gen
eral net of 1854, which provides that
st hool tax shall be levied upon tht;
county valuation.
WHAT THE JUDGE INTIMATED.
Judge Gunster lntlmnted that I
might be better not to press the case
to a conclusion until the Snpiome court
disposes of the appeal to oust the twenty-one
directors. The case of tho Pitts
ton board, similar to ours. Is now In
the hands of the Supreme court nnd the
decision Is expected In a week or two.
If that goes against the bonrd of twenty-one,
the board of six will take their
seats on the first Monday In June.
Mr. Burns said tha object now was to
prevent tho ptesent board from going
ahead with the levy. Solicitor Reedy
assured him that tho levy would not
be made until the Plttston caw Is dis
posed of. That was agreeable to the
plaintiff and the case will be hltl over
until then.
Attorney O. B. lartrldge applied for
an order for counsel fees nnd alimony
In the proceedings for divorce brought
bv Hlchard Walsh against Maria
Walsh. In stating tho motion Mr.
Partridge said the court was too lenient
with Richard. In criminal court last
week a nolle pros was permitted in lh
care against him by Bridget Garvey.
Instead of that the court should havo
sent him to the penitentiary, Mr. Part
ridge said. Walsh Is nearly 'i0 years
old, and while living apart from his
second wife, he betrayed Miss Garvey.
Court ordered that he pay $25 for coun
sel fees and $5 a month alimony pend
ing the divorce proceedings.
Attorney A. A Chape attacked the
regularity of proceedings In the assess
ment of damages In the Eleventh ward
sewer system. He claimed the viewers
were not sworn, and that they did not
give the notlc through the papers as t
required by law. And also that many
of tho people nssesed would not derive
any benefit from the bower.
P.ROCKWAY DIVORCE CAS':.
Court made an order grnntlng $35 for
counsel fees and $20 for expenses in tho
divorce proceedings of Richard B.
Brockway agalnbt Fannie May Brock
way. The case of the Carbondale Herald
against the auditors of the township
was argued. Tho auditors ordered the
annual report of the supervisors and
tchool board printed In the Herald, and
there Is a dispute as to who suouhl pay
the bill.
The other cases argued were: G. R
Brock vs. T. Hunt Brock; rule to open
Judgment, and the Suburban Electric
