FIRE HOSE AWARDS

Select Council Spends Much Time In
Hearing tin Agents.
FOItMEIt MAJORITY REPORT OP
TUB JOINT FHtE DEPART.MLNT
COMMITTEE WAS ADOPTED WITH.
OPT OHANOE AFTER A OREAT
DEAL OF OlIfcTRCCTION HAD BEEN
OFFERED - COMMON COUXCI L
FAILS TO REACH A CONCLF9ION
ON TEE CONTRACTS FOR CLEAN
INC! PAVED STREETS.
Selert council lajt nlaht made n re
ft id f,or Itself bv occupying one hour
and fifteen minutest In coming to n con
clusion en lho proposals submitted on
lire hose and which have been fought
back and forth between the two
branches of councils for several week"
The action of last night awnided the
contracts as follows: Columbia Rub
ber Works niiiipony, 1.000 feet of
"White Anchor" brand at '$!; tlulta
1'crcha and Rubber company, COO feet
of "Maltese Cross" brand at $1: Fab
ric Fire Hose company. $lf0 worth of
"F. F. H. Co." brand at DO cents per
foot The awaid was In accordance
with the old majority report of the
Joint file department committee, but
will have to receive concurrence In
common council before the contract Is
fully authorized.
When the majority report was first
presented In select council several
oks ago a minority report recom
mending the purchase of $2,000 worth
of hose liianufni'ttncd by the Mjneral
Ized Rubber crmpany was nl"o present
ed nnd was adopted. On Thursday night
of last weeit the common council de
clined to concur but voted to postpone
nitl'jn until last night. On the same
night that consideration was gl,ven the
I epulis In the lower branch, select
council re-opened the Pght and It was
voted to reernsider. The rcconsldcin
tlen reached no definite end, however,
as the pap3rs could not then be re
claimed from the lower branch.
AC.ENTS WERE HEARD.
Last night In the second order of
business It was ruled by Piesldcnt
Chittenden that teronslderatlon should
be held dining the second order of bus
iness under conditions the same as
though no nctlon had been taken on
the proposals, excepting a resolution
passed at the previous meetlnir re
questing the presence last night of Ihe
representatives of all the bidders. Af
ter all this mixed piovlous procedure.
Councils began its ci utract-letting
anew by heating Ihe agents.
The following agents were heard' Mr.

Pierce, eech representing the Revere
Rubber company: T. Mcllroy. Jr., man

Packing company R. Bash, or the
Outta Peichu and Rubber company.
Each was permitted to make mi ad
dress or five minutes and was then oc
cupied from live to ten minutes an
swering questions put by the members.
Something of a stir was created by
the reading of a letter which was
hand"d t" Citv Clerk Lavelle by Mr.
Bash, of the Outta Percha and Rubber
company. It was n copy of a letter
from the conmany's attorney personal
ly delivered to the proprietors of tlu
Scrantonlan yesteilay concerning an
artlch' headed "Boodle Ring." which
appealed in last Sunday's Issue of tha,i
paper. The letter alleged that the ar
ticle had attacked the Scranton lire de
partment and contained false state
ments in the effect that a representa
tive of the Outta roic ha company was
under Indletir.ont at Ponghkeeple. N.
Y for bribery. The letter demanded
si retraction In next Sunday's issue of
the paper and announced that n su't
for libel would be prosecuted If the re
traction was not made.

Mr. McAiicirew moved the adoption
or the dd niln nlty report awarding the

drew It.
Mr. Roche nifered an amendment
that the proposals of all bidders on
hose' ot 55 pounds or moie per section

bo purchaMtl be distributed equally
among them.
Mr. Sanderson offered an amend
ment to postpone action until the chief
of the fire department had furnished
councils with a record of the age, con
dition nnd service of all the brands of
hose now In uso In the department.
Mr. ()' Boyle's motion to table Mr.
SandersonVi amendment was ruled out
of order aud the amendment was lost
Mr. Roche's amendment met the same
fate. Mr. Roche then asked time to
prepare an amendment that all the pro
posals accepted should be those of only
Scranton bidders. This amendment
was ntoo ruled as being out of order.
Then was recorded the only ac and
nay vote of the evening. It was on
the original motion of .Mr. McAndrew
to adopt the old minority report fav
oring the proposal of the Allneiallzed
Rubber company and wns lost by the
following vote of 0 lo 13:

BELIEF ASSOCIATION
Six Application Since the Emit Meet
ing Wero Reportod--.Hr. Con
Kor, ol Honesdnlo, i'rcucnt.
The regular weekly meeting of the
executive committee ef the Soldiers'
Relief association was held yesterday
afternoon In the board of trade rooms.
Captain W. A. .May presided In tho ab
sence of President Hand. The others
present were Henry Belln Jr., ,uthr
Keller. Hon. John R. Fair. Colonel E.
H. Ripple, C. H. Sounder, C. II. Mull
vllle, ,T. B. Dlmmlck. Secretary D. 15.
Atherton and H. II. Conger, of Hones
dale. The relief committee reported six up
pllcntlous for aid since the meeting of
last week. The cases had been Inves
tigated and the wants of several re
lieved temporarily. It was the opinion
of the committee thnt the agent be
paid by the day nt tho rate of $50 per
month, which wns the plan suggested
some time ago and under which tho
agent hnsjieci.)tn (irking under the di
rection of the committee.
It was finally decided by vote to fol
low the course suggested for one or
two weeks in order to determine the
expense under this. plan.
An excursion to Washington under
the nusnlces of the liclicf association
was mentioned as a means of icvenue.
The matter was on motion referred to
the re'lef committee to report at the
next meeting concerning rates, etc.
The fact that the soldiers would
probably not be paid oftener than every
sixty or ninety days after getting into
active service, led to n discussion of
a proposition to arrange for advanc
ing the pay of the men to th?lr fam
ilies, families who would not under
ordinary circumstances be classed as
applicants for aid.
It was thought arrangements could
be made for advancing money to these
people and securing payment from the
olllcers with the regiment when lho
men are paid. The matter was referred
to the finance rtimmltteo for consid
eration. Mr. Conccr, of the Honesdale relief
organization and a member of the ex
ecutive committee of the Scranton as
sociation, reported the progress of the
work In the former city. He said that
$100 hud been collected, a woman's
auxiliary appointed and the local work
put In active shape. A conceit for the
benefit of tho home organization wns
being arranged. Mr. Conger wished it
understood that the Honesdale asso
ciation would care for the wants of its
