ORDINANCE PASSED FINALLY IN
THE LOWElt HHANOII.
'Each lirnnch of council? mot lust
night, tlits lower brunch In regular atitt
tho select In ndjntirncd session. Each
adjourned to meet nuxt ThursUiiy even
In r.
Conimoii council went Into tho fifth
order of business, Immediately nfter
convening, for the purpose of uppolnt
Iiik it conference commlttex1 to consider
with n similar committee of the select
branch the proposed amendment to tho
Providence road und North Mnln ave
nue pnvl'tig ordinance. A scant quorum
was present when President Molr ap
pointed Messrs. Morris, Jackson and
Keller as common council's represen
tatives on the committee.
Tho Joint committee recommended an
amendment removing those parts of
tho ordinance which had provided that
tho paving between the rails of tho
Scranton Hallway company should bo
performed by tho contractor and tho
cost ussessed against tho company.
Another amendment Is that the com
pany do Ijs own paving, using the sump
material and method as that employed
on the main thoroughfare.
As explained In The Tribune yester
day, the company's franchise exempts
it from paving, but the amendments
have been so prepared that In tho com
pany's work the pavlnu from curb to
curb shall be uniform. An understand
ing has been reached with the com
pany olllclals who have given their as
surance that tho paving will bo done
as Implied by the ordinance, us
amended.
CONCUKKED IN.
Later an attendant resolution "came
over from tho select branch and was
concurred in. Following are some of
the provisions of the resolution:
Directing the city clerk to notlty the
company of tho Intention to pave.
Requiring the company to tile within
ten days a notice of any change desired
in the location of tracks, with an agree
ment to pave between the rails with the
same material and in tho same manner
us thr balance- of the two thoroughfare.
jjii'cciing me cuy cieik to notiry tho
company that North Main avenue, Be
tween Pond street m.d the -Ity line, is in
cluded in the ordliu.nee; that with the
Valley Passenger company's franchise
US'12) the company liled Its agreement
to pave between Its rails and one foot
outside with the same material used on
the balance of the avenue; that it Is the
city's Intention to enforce the agree
ment and that the company niusl lays Its
pavement at the time the balance ot the
avenue is paved. '
Mr. Klstlcnun Introduced nn ordlj
mince repealing the ordinance provid
ing for the cleaning of paved streets by
contract. It was referred to commit
tee for printliiK If favorably consid
ered. Immediately following tho Introduc
tion of .Mr. Zlzleinan's ordinance, the
streets and bridges committee repotted
favorably the Select council resolution
awarding the street cleaning contract
to Dunn Hrus. Mr. Keller observed
that the Dunn proposal providing for
the payment monthly of one-eighth of
the contract price did not contain the
stipulation that n corresponding
umount of work was to bo done.
Then ensued ji long debate pro nnd
con the contract system nnd In rela
Hon to the proposals of XV. J. Burke anil
Dunn Hros. The debate did not. how
ever, bring out which bid was the low
er. After several motions had been
offered, that of Mr. Oiler was adopted
deferring action until the next meet
ing. The Lackawanna telephone fran
chise ordinance passed third and final
reading in Itn amended lorm. Messrs
H-ese. Walker, Wnth. Coleman and
Norton voted negatively. Tho meas
ure did not go over to Select council for

When Select council's minority report
awarding the contract foi 12.000 worth
of Hie hose was read. President Molr
ruled consideration of It out of order
because the majority report did not
nccompf.ny the resolution nnd the mi
nority report.

nor the three higher priced brands rec
ommended by the majority icport
should be purchased until nil ,.f ti.n.v.
had been tested. Mr. Klsdeinnn. from
the standpoint of n Urcmiin, opposed
the use of the cheaper brands. .Mr.
Oliver said the councils had found It
costly to consider ihe opinions of lire.
men. -Mr. Keller and Mr. Coleman moved
to concur In the minority repot t. M.
V. Mortis moved to table. The latter
motion prevailed by n vote of 10 to S.
The streets anil bridges committee re
turned the petition of property owners
on Wnsliburii street between Vnin -,.i
Sumner avenues, asking that the Scran
ton Jl.imvny company be compelled to
repair the pawinent between Its tracks,
with the committee's statement that
General Manager Sllllman. of the cum
puny, had promised to repair the street
tit once.
New ordinances and resolutions were
presented as lollows:

two readings.
Among the few ordinances paised on

bicycle and other vehicular tmfflo-nnd
providing for a brick pavement on
Hyde Park uvenue between Lafayette
nnd Division streets.
SELECT COUNCIL MEETING.
At the meeting' of select council a
communication was read from Attor
ney I). J. needy, solicitor for the
Scrnnlon school district calling atten
tion to the act of March 31, ls'fi, pro
vldlng thut, "Any person who shall
bo found Intoxicated In nny street,
highway, public hotite or public place
cdiall bp lined upon view or upon proof
made before any mayor, alderman or
justice of the peace, two dollars which
shall be paid to tho treasurer of the
school district, wheie such conviction
Is had by tho magistrate collecting
the same."
An examination of tho police dockets
shows that dining the past 0 ycu.rf
i.o'J'2 persons were arrested forThunk
etiness, S,fC9 were arrested for being
drunk nnd disorderly. There is now
due, Mr. lleedy said. $11,000 In this way,
and he nuked to hnvo the money paid
over nt an early date. The report was
ordered received and llled. This action
of the school board was in exchange
for the refusal of councils to pay for
the lights in tho board's room.
Chief Hlckey sent in n communica
tion culling attention to the condition
of the city's Ilro hydrants. They ure
In a deplorable condition, lie said, and
are continually out of order, due prin
cipally to their use for outaldo pur
poses, such ns lllllng sprinkling
wagons, Hushing streets and supplying
water for building operations. The
general opinion of the most experienc
ed englneeiH and superintendents of
water works Is that hydrants should
bo used for tire purposes only. If tluoo
outside purposes are not to be restrict
ed, then tho hydrants should be erect
ed at Intermediate points for that
special purpose. There is also a neces
sity for changing all small hydrants in
the central city.
RECONSIDERED ApTION.
On motion of Air. Kearney the con
tract awarded to the Mineralized Rub
ber Hose company nt the last meet
ing was reconsidered. Air. AIcAndrew's
motion to table was lost. Air. Kear
ney said he made the motion nt the
request of Chief Hlckey. Air. O'Hoyle
did not believe In following out the
chief's recommendation Air. Kearney
said that the chief claims the hose Is
too llsht for the test. Messrs. Alelvln.
Wagner and Roche spoke In favor of
reconsidering. The motion of Air. Roche
prevailed that action on the bids be
laid over until next meeting, and
meanwhile the city will notify tho bid
ders. A resolution was Introduced recom
mending that tho railway committee
of both councils be requested to confer
with tho Scranton Railway company
nnd other Interested parties to con
sider the feasibility of extending a
branch of the street railway to the
Hyde Park Catholic cemetery.
Air. O'Hoyle introduced a resolution
directing that all heads of departments
of city government shall hereafter be
present at all meetings of select coun
cil for the purpose of furnishing such
information us may be desired per
taining to their respective departments.
The ordinance providing for a lat
eral sewer on the easterly side of
Washington nvenuo between New York
nnd AInrlon street, passed third and
final rending.
SEWER ORDINANCE AAIENDED.
The intendments to the Providence
and North Alain avenue paving ordi
nance and the accompanying resolu
tion were adopted.
A resolution was passed directing tho
