C.SNYDER an Spruce Street, Opp, Hotel Jermyn PROVIDENCE PAVE WILL BE HELD UP ATTORNEYS FOR B0PERTY HOLDERS VERY CONFIDENT. The BUI in Equity Attacking tho Validity of the Ordinance and tho Contract W.ll Bo Filed Today. The Improvement Was Afflrmod by Only Fifteen Votes in Common Council When It Should Have Re ceived n Three-Fourths Vote of the Members Elected. Today Attorneys I. II. Burns, and O'Brien nnd Kelly will nie the bill In equity In the Provldenco pave case. Charles S. Lowrey is the protesting property holder who will nppcar of re cord ns tho plaintiff nnd tho city of Scrnnton and Contractor George Mc Donald arc named as the defendants. The bill goes on to reclto that tho plaintiff owns a property on tho corner of North Main avenue and Jones street on tho line of the contemplated Im provement; that the city of Scranton by ordinance of June 9, 1SDS, directed that Providence road from Court street to North Main avenue nnd North Main avenue from Bulls Head to the city line be asphalted; that an assessment has been made by the city engineer against tho nbuttlng properties, which assessment Is to be entered against them ns a lien; that the contract for the paving has been let to George Mc Donald and that ho Is about to enter upon the work. The plnlntlff then alleges that the passing of tho ordinance and letting of tho contract was entirely Illegal nnd void and gives tho following as his reasons for the contention: REASONS ADVANCED. (a) No petition of tho owners of prop erty fronting and abutting on said street was ever presented to tho said councils of tho said city requesting that tho satd streets bo paved as provided by law. (b) Tho alleged ordinance providing for tho paving of said streets was not passed In both brunches of tho council by a three-fourths vote of all tho members elected to each branch of said councils. In that but fifteen votes were cast In favor of said ordinance on Us final pass age In tho common council, although tho wholo number of councllmen elected to said common council Is twenty-one. (c) Tho alleged ordinance above men tioned providing for iho laying of said pavement was not ads-ertlscd for thirty days from the dato of Its introduction and copies thereof published for ten con. secutlvo days Immediately following Its Introduction as provided by law. (d) Beforo the passage of tho said or dinance It becamo tho duty of tho city of Scranton to submit to the property owners along the lino of this Improve ment, tho question ns to what kind of pavement they preferred. A paper was presented to the councils purporting to bo tho choice of said property owners and in favor of vitrified brick, but said paper was utterly fraudulent nnd void as your orator Is Informed and verily believes, for the reason that tho said paper was never submitted to the property owners themselves, but was manufactured by parties Interested, CAUSB TROCBLB AND EXPENSE. Further It is alleged by tho plaintiff In his bill: "That If tho city of Scranton Is allowed to levy and assess against the property of your orator and to causo a lien to be filed against tho property of your orator for tho collection thereof, without authority of law, It will havo the effect of causing your orator as well as other property owners similarly affected. great troublo, oxpenso and nuisance, ana such Illegal assessment and Hen will bo a cloud upon the title of your orator In tho said reul estate, and In tho collection of said lien and other Ileus of a similar nature a multiplicity of suits will neces sarily, bo required to bo brousht. That tho said Georgo McDonald, as your orator Is informed nnd verily behoves, proposes to enter upon Eald street In front of your orator's premises, dig up and obstruct iho same In preparing the samo for pav ing and in the laying of said pavement, which obstruction would Interfere with your orators uto cf paid street and would obstruct his irgrcss and c-grcss to lib said lot and would constitute a public nuis ance, satd obstruction being unlawful and Illegal as above set forth. Wherefore, your orator prays: First That an injunction bo issued restraining tho said defendants from filing liens against your orator's property or In any manner proceeding under tho authority of tho ordinance above set forth to collect from your orator any sum of money in rayment for tho Improvement as above set forth, and to rostraln tho said con tractor, George McDonald, irom digging up, obstructing ou- In any manner lntcrfor. Ing with tho street In front of your ora tor's property. Second. After proper hearing nnd determination a decree bo mado declaring the said ordinance and proceedings thereunder null and void. Third For such other and further roller as to tho court may seem Just and proper, THEY ARE CONFIDENT. The plaintiff's attorneys are confident of being able to defeat the paving pro ject. Any one of reasons given, they say, would be sufficient to annul the contract but they place their greatest reliance for victory upon their ability The Reason Why everyone prefers Coursen's "GEM Flour" is because it is ALWAYS the same.

T hone Uiii BURNING, LUBRICATING AND CYLINDER OILS, PAINT DCPARTMENT.-Llneed OIL Yaraljh, Vrjeit, Japan and Bhlnglafciuin. to show that th ordinance on final pasfage In commen council received only 13 votes while tho law demands that It can only become opctiitive after receiving tho afilrmatlve vole of three fourths of tho members of each branch of councils. The net of May 22, 18VS, reads ns fol lows; All cities In this commonwealth shall have power, without petition of property owners, to grade, pave, curb, macadam ize or othorwlsn Improve any public street or alley or part thereof provided tho ordlranco or ordinances hu. thorlzlng nnd directing such Improve ments shall bo adopted and enacted by tho afllrmatlvo vote of three-fourths of tho members-elect composing tho coun cils of tho said cities. Under tho net of 1889 n two-thirds vote was eufllclcnt to authorlzo a street Improvement without petition. The act of 1895, however, provides that It shall be n three-fourths vote and that It Is Intended ns a substitute for "two thirds" clause of tho act of 18S9 Is in dicated by Its third and flnnl section, which says: "The manner of making assessments, collecting costs, etc., shall remain ns now provided by law." It Is clearly, by Implication, at Is held, a supplement to the act of 1SSD nnd that in Ignoring supplementary net the or dinance falls. OINNEGAN ARRESTED.
