Visited tho High Service Heservolr on Spencer's Hill and Those at No. 7, Elmhurst, Williams' Bridge, Dagen Farm and Staffoid Meadow Brook Drlvo Was Over tho Sys tem of Beautiful Roads Construct ed by the Company Supply of Water is Pure and Inexhaustible. Nothing save a miracle can ever cause a water famine In Scranton. Every contingency short of a miracle lists been provided against by the com panies that nro f-upplying this city with wnter. Yesterday tho members of the board of health and other city ofTcInlfc resumed the work of examin ing tho city's water supply and its sources and what they saw filled them v.'lfh unbounded admiration. The whole day was spent In visiting the various reservoirs of the Scranton Gas nnd Water company which are the most extensive owned by any com pany In the country supplying a city the fclze of Scranton. Some idea of what this company has done In tho way of preparing for the future may be gleaned from the fact that it has nciiulred possession of nearly fourteen thousand acres of land for the pur pose of protecting its reservoirs and the streams and springs supplying thpm. Practically the entire water shed from which It drains its supply Is now owned by the company which Is thus able to protect it absolutely fiotn defilement of any kind, Tlii total capacity of the various reservoirs of the company is forty-five hundred million gallons exclusive of the supply available at Like Henry, a pretty little lake high upon the moun tain five miles east of Moscow. In that lake are four hundred million pallt-ns of water obtained from pure mountain springs. Pipes have been laid fiom this lake so that tho water can be diverted from it at any time into the Roaring Brook nnd conveyed Into tho big i escrvolrs lower down tho fetream. SURPRISE TO THEM. Few peopl in Scranton have known of tho presence of this lake ajid it was not until yesterday that the majority of the members of the board of health knew that It had been acquired by the Scranton Gas and Water company. It was almost 9 o'clock yesterday morning when tho inspecting party left the city hall In carriages. It con sisted of Maor James G. Bailey, Dr. W. A. Paine. Dr. W. K. Bentley, At torney George S. Horn and Jr. J, Kel loy, of the board of health; Dr. W. E. Allen, health officer; Attorney R. J. Murray, secretary of the board; Cap tain W. H. Burke, health officer: T. N. Cullen, food inspector; M. F. O'Malley, p'umbing Inspector; Robert Reeves, superintendent of the Scranton Gas and Water company, and V. E. Ar nold, assistant superintendent nt the Providence Gas and "Water company; Select Councilman John J. Kearney and Common Councilman M. J. Cuslck. At the high service reservoir on the tori of Spencer's hill, Dunmore, the first stop was mad?. This has a cap acity of 1,700,000 gallons and Is used to supply the high points of Petersburg, Sanderson s hill and Hyde Park. The water is piped to this reservoir from tho Williams' bridge reservoir which Is over In the mountains three miles east of Spencer's Hill and six hundred feet ibove the city. The water Is carried from one reser voir to the other by gravity. One of the principal reasons for constructing tho high service reservoir was "to break the bead of the water" as Mr. Reeves, the superintendent of the company expressed it. In other words If the water was taken to the city direct from Williams' bridge the pre? sure would be so great that it would be unmanageable and would destroy the service pipes In most of the city residences supplied from that source. Tho water coming from Williams' bridge is exceptionally pure and cool. It does not require filtering nnd Is cool enough for drinking purposes without having ice applied to it. NO. 7 RESERVOIR. From the high service to the No 7 reservoir, a mile away, the party pro ceeded. This was once the main res et voir of the company but is now used only as a settling and distributing res ervoir, It has a depth of thirty-five feet and is capable of storing 80,000.000 gallons. From this reservoir nearly the entire supply for Scranton Is tak en. It is on the Roaring brook and further up the stream at Elmhurst is a storage reservoir that has a capacity of thirteen hundred million gallons. The water has an average depth of exty-flvo feet and covers 170 acres of land. At Elmhurst Oak Run flows Into tho Roaring brook from the northwest and on this one and one-half miles above rimhtirst is another reservoir that can store three hundred and forty million gallons. The Elmhurst reservoir Is an immense piece of masonry, flfty feet at the base and sixty-live feet in holghth. The spillway is 150 feet wide. No water is piped from either of these dams. It Is carried along Oak Run In tho natural channel to the Roaring brook and from the Elm hurst dam In the latter along the bed of the stream to No. 7. The ownership of tho land on both sides of tho stream by the company makes this feasable and safe. Arriving at No. 7 the water is al lowed to settle and the sediment goes to the bottom. All the water taken from this reservoir for city purposes comes from within ten feet of the top, Insuring tho greatest purity. After lavlnc the dam the water passes through the extensive Altering plant of the company constructed two years ago at a cost of $100,000. It Is In real ity a double system. If anything hap pens to one of the filters or It Is de sired to clean It tho wnter can be turned off and tho other filter will screen and clean enough of water to abundantly supply the city. MEASURING THE WATER. As the water leaves tho filters It In measured by the Ventur meters. At present the city is using 17,000,000 gal lons a day from this reservoir. An electrical arrangement connects this meter with -the main office of the ocm pany In this city and every ten minu tes registers tho amount of vatur that has passed from this dam, A private telephone also connects this and the other dams of the company with the main office. At tho bottom of No. 7 dam Is a large pipe through which the sedl- .Continued on Pusc S. TWO STAMPS ON DRAFTS. Oplnlon of Revenue Collector Pen man on the Subject. Cashier William II. Peck, of the Third National bank, has received from Collector Penman an opinion de ciding that two stamps must be affixed to drafts, ono by tho mnker and the other by the person accepting it. Tho opinion is as follows: Internal Rovenuo Service, Twelfth District of Pennsylvania, Collector's Olllce, Scranton, Pa July 21, 1S0S. William II. Peck, Esq., Cashier Third National Bank, Scranton, Pa. Sir: I have received and considered your letter of tho JOth Inst., concerning tho application of tho "nnr revenue'1 act to drafts, and submit to you my opinion on the samo ns follows: You ask, Flrst-"Should a sight dratt to which tho maker has affixed a 2-c?nt stamp, be stamped ogaln by the acceptor when he writes his acceptance across tho face, making It payable at a bank?" I am of the opinion that the above question should be answered In tho af firmative. When a fight draft Is presented to the drawee nm ho duties to honor It, he has tho option of paying the cash to the hold er or glvlntr an order upon another person or bank for Its pajrr.cnt. If he adopts tho latter couise, It Is equivalent to glv Ing a check upon the person or bank where payable, rnd the acceptance should havo afrtxed thereto a 2-ceiit documentary stamp, property cancelled. Second "Should a time draft to which tho maker has afllxed tho proper amount of stamps l.o stamped again with tho samo amount of stamps by tho acceptor when ho writes his acceptance across tho face, making It payable at n bank? In my opinion this question should nUo be answered In the affirmative. Tho reve nuo act puts the time drafts In the same class with promissory notes, and re quires the drawer to affix stamps in pay ment of the tax bared on the amount of the draft. Tho acceptance of a time draft is equivalent to giving u nolo promising to pay at tho expiration of the time men tioned In tho draft, nnd should also pay the amount of tax required for a note of the samo amount. Yours respectfully, T. F. Penmnn, Collector. BOY'S LEG CUT OFF. John Burke, a Nine-Year-Old Boy, Was Crawling Under Cars When They were Set in Motion. John Burke, the 9-year-old son of Michael J. Burke, proprietor of the Eureka house at tho corner of Provi dence road and Diamond avenuo, was injured on the Delaware, Lackawanna nnd Western railroad near the Roaring Brook dam at 6 o'clock yesterday af ternoon, and his right leg was so badly crushed under the wheels of a car that amputation had to be done at tho Lackawanna hospital. The shock and loes of blood rendered It doubtful for a time what the out come of the.case would be, but toward midnight he rallied well and his chances for recovery are more assur ing. The boy and some companions were swimming in tho dam. On their way home they met a train of cars that had come to a standstill. Burko got down to crawl underneath a car and as he did the train started up. Before he could get out of the way his right leg was crushed. Tho Moses Taylor hos pital ambulance was summoned and also that of tho Lackawanna. He was brought to the latter place. Amputa tion was made above the knee. It was Impossible to save that joint. SERVICE WAS NOT LEGAL. Alderman Howe Decides to Reopen Rush-Higgins Case. Martin Hlgglns, of Dunmore, by his attorney, E. W. Thayer, went before Alderman Howe yesterday and asked that the case of trespass brought by William Rush, also of Dunmore, be opened. March 16 last a horso belong ing to Hlgglns was tied securely to a post at the Union Cash stores of that place, and the animal, frightened by a flying piece of paper, made a dash, breaking the tie-strap and ran away. Tho horse's maddened chase termin ated In the yard at Rush's home, doing considerable damage. Rush entered suit for damages before Alderman Howe, charging Hlgglns with negli gence. The 22d of March was flxed for a hearing. The constable wrjg was given the summons went to Hlgglns' house and, thero being no adult at home, the paper was read to a small boy. The lad did not remember, or per haps did not understand tho instruc tions left for Hlgglns and In conse quence the defendant did not learn of the suit brought against him. He not appearing at the hearing, Judgment was given against him. Now he asks that the matter be opened. The alderman agreed to the demand. The hearing was flxed for Friday even ing next at 7 o'clock. MARION STUART CANN'S PLUCK. Places a Muscular Man Under Arrest and Takes Him to the Lockup. Marlon Stuart Cann made an arrest last evening that was plucklly accom plished In the face of superior odds. Between 7 and 8 o'clock a large-sized, muscular man hove along Jefferson avenue under the Influence of liquor and giving expression to profanity. He was very much of a nuisance to the people In the block opposite Elm Park church. Mr. Cann attempted to reason with him and, finding that of no avail, placed him under arrest. The prisoner was about 190 pounds In weight and above medium height. As they walked along to .the police sta tion he was a striking contrast to Mr. Cann. After tho prisoner was placed In a cell he became warlike and exerted himself In trying to break the iron bars. He would not give his name, but said he lives In Archbald. He had n quart bottle of whiskey in his coat pocket. INTERMENT MADE AT SALEM. Remains of the Late Joseph Nash were Taken There Yesterday. The funeral services of the late Jo seph Nash were held at the residence, No, 421 Ninth street, at 8 o'clock last Wednesday evening. A large con course of friends were In attendance, as also was present delegations of the Grand Army of the Republic and Pa triotic Order Sons of America. The services were conducted by Rev. F, P. Doty, formerly pastor of Hampton Street Methodist Episcopal church but now pastor of Cedar Avenue Metho dist Episcopal church, this city, who preached an appropriate discourse from Psa. 34:19. The remains were viewed by many of the friends who had long known Mr. Nash. Yesterday the Patriotic Order Sons of America, accompanied by the immediate friends of tho deceased, conveyed the remains to Salem, Pa,, where Interment was made in the fam ily burial plot. ORDINANCE IS COLD AND DEAD COUNCILS REFUSE TELEPHONE COMPANY A FRANCHISE. Tho Report of tho Joint Conference Committee, Wat Presented in Select Council Last Night and Adopted. It Provided That the Committee Bo Discharged and Further Action On tho Ordinance Indefinitely Postponed Debate on tho Matter. Action of the Common Council. It will require very heroic treatment to vitalize the ordinance granting a franchise to the Lackawanna Tele phone company after the treatment It received last night. As predicted in Tuesday's Tribune the measure was laid out cold nnd dead. When the conference committee, appointed for the purpose of endeav oring to harmonize the differences be tween the two branches of the coun cil with lefeience to the ordinance, de cided to adjourn Monday night after discovering that It could do nothing It was agreed that another meeting should be held last night prior to the council meetings. All of the committeemen were pres ent, but P. F. McCann, the chairman of the Joint committee, made no effort to get them together. When the meeting of the select coun cl was almost over Mr. McCann pre sented the following report: Your conferenci committee has met In conference with tbe committee lrom the common council and we are unable lo agree on the section In dispute. We would recommend that the committee be discharged and further action on the or dinance bo Indefinitely postponed. MR. FINN OBJECTED. Mr. McCann moved that the, report be received and Its recommendations complied with. This drew forth a pro test fiom Wade jr. Finn. He said the conference committee was to have met last night but had not done so, and as It had not exhausted all Its efforts to agree he suggested that action be de ferred for a week to enable the com mittee to have another mettlng. Mr. McCann said It was not his fault that the committee did not meet. He was around ready to confer with any member of the committee who wanted to meet with him. Further meetings, he thought, would not be productive of results for at Monday night's meet ing one of the common councllmen said he did not see the use of further meet ings for an agreement seemed impos sible. A vote was then taken on the motion to adopt the conference committee's report and it was adopted by the fol lowing vote: Yeas Kearney. Williams, Roche, Mclvln, Shea. McCann, Trablc, Coyne, McAr.drew 11. Naj c Rots, Finn, Thomas, James. Fellows, Wagner, Robinson, Schrceder, O' Boyle 7. COMMON'S ACTION In common council Mr. Jackson for the conference committee, reported that two meetings had been held and the differences had not been adjusted. Ho could only report progress. Mr. Gllroy moved that the committee be discharged. This brought Mr. Zlzelmann, another member of the committee to his feet, v 1th the statement that the common council committee was ready to meet at 7 o'clock, which was the time fixed for a meeting, but the select council members did not show up. The motion of Mr. Gllroy was not pressed. FUNERAL OF WILLIAM BOLAND. Held Yesterday Morning from His Late Home on Irving Avenue.
