JOSEPH TAYLOR
IS CONFIRMED
MAYOR'S NOMINEE FOB NORTH
END PAVE INSPECTOR.
Select Council Approves His Nom
ination nnd Also That or Thomas
B. Potter to Be Police Patrolman.
Resolution Adopted Providing tor
Assistants to City Assessors in
Making tho lfaOO Assessment To
Beo What Can Be Done Toward Re
pairing Asphalt Pavements.
Mr. Lansing of the street and bridges
committee reported favornbly on May
or Bailey's nomination of Joseph Tay
lor to be Inspector of the Frovldenco
pavement at last night's select council
meeting. A long debate followed a
motion to confirm.
President Chittenden asked If there
had not been some legal action Insti
tuted against tho beginning of tho
work. Mr. Ross said there had not
been. Mr. Wagner said Mr. Ross was
Incorrect and nrgued against confirm
ation until the matter was out of court.
Messrs. Williams, O'Uojlc, Kearney
nnd Roche nrKUed for confirmation,
the latter suggesting the adoption of
a resolution providing that the Inspec
tor receive no pay until the work was
started.
The nomination was confirmed by a
vote of 18 to 1, President Chittenden
alone voting against It.
A brief communication from the city
solicitor Informed councllsof thocourt's
opinion In the case of Henry Kochler
versus the city, that the petitioner wus
liable for only tho cost of the pavement
In front of his property. The recom
mendation of tho city solicitor that an
appeal bo taken, was adopted.
QUINCY AVENUE PAVE.
The piopohal of the Barber Asphalt
company as follows was the only one
for paving Qulncy avenue, between
Pine and Gibson sticets: For grading
and paving, $1!,37 per suuaio yard; for
straight curb, 46, 63 or CO cents per lin
eal foot; for circular curb, OS cents per
lineal foot; for resetting old curb, 27
cents per lineal foot
President Chittenden called the at
tention of the pavements committee,
to which tho proposal was referred,
to tho fact that the proposal was high
er than tho price mentioned In the
petition, $2.10 per square yard.
It was later explained that the pro
posal was higher because of the Scran
ton railway company's Intention to lay
a double track. This would throw ve
hicular traffic upon a limited section
of the pavement, necesltatlng a deep
er concrete base than was provided for
by the original specifications.
The following resolution relative to
employing assistants In the city asses
sors department was adopted:
That tho city asttssors are
authorised to employ clerks to
assist in making up tho assessment for
1MK; ascertain tho rames and residences
and occupation of all persons within tho
respective wards of tho city liable to
assessment, together with the pergonal
property owned by each liable to assess
ment, also all transfers and alterations In
real estate, together with tho number of
dogs, etc., and ownership of the same.
Tho compensation of said clerks to bo 7
cents for each assessment and 10 cents
for each clog, tho exper.so to be included
In tho deficiency appropriation for 1SDJ.
LETTER OF EXPLANATION.
Accompanjlng the resolution was the
following letter of explanation from
the assessors:
"Wo respoctfully call your attention to
the fact that no appropriation or provls
lon has been made lij jour honorablo
bodies for tho purpose of empling help
to prcparo thu city assessment for 1S9&.
In tho past, councils have deemed it
advisable to employ help for the purposes
of lsitlnjr each house to nscertain wheth
er there had been any changes in own
ership of real estate or whether assess
ment on persoml property or occupation
wero correct. We assume that cltj coun
cils h.ivo not concluded to discontinue
this practice, which surely has consid
erable merit and which prevents, the con.
fusion which must necesnarlly arise In
case the errors In personal property and
occupation aru not com cted.
It is evident that it would be impos
sible for the board of nses),ors to visit
every houso in the city In the time al
lowed. Wo therefore request tint ou tn'co
Mich action on the accompanjlng reso
lution as to jou shall seem best.
The major's nomination of Thomas
B. Potter to be police patiolman wns,
on motion of Mr. Roche, taken from
the table nnd eontumt-d.
An Impoitunt action wns Involved In
a select council resolution Introduced

B of the Fifth Sewer district u re

ferred to his proposal submitted on
May 23 and said the price of labor ana
material had Increased Hlnce then; that
the coMt would bo further Increased If
a pavement was first laid, that tho
amount of the bond required, $3,000,
and, tho fact that ho would have to
wait u long period for the city's sharo
of the cost, bctwecen $0,000 and $7,000,

Two Important communications con

Scranton, Pit., Aug. r, U'js.
Gentlemen of Councils I learn thnt two

the present force, without filling the pies

The prospects now arc quite different
and jou should know that there Is an
immense) amount ot work before me tills

Its lrregularit) will requlro more time
and labor fiom this dcpuitmcnt than if
doublu tho amount of thla Impiovetnent
was being deno in the central cltj. A
veiy Important point In the constiu -tlen
of this pr.vement as well as the pro
posed Quinej nvcnuo pavement is the
fact that the cir tracks will be an entire -ly
new construction for tills cltj. A sf'el
channel tlo every ten feet will bo useel
(but no wooden ties whatever) altei the

If this is not elono proper!) iho

together will have been solved and tho
Inconvenience to tho traveling public and
Injur)' to our pavurcnts caused tluough
the continual cutting up of our pave

dom heard of or seen In the futuie
This mode of coi structlon has been
done suecessfullj- In other cities, and ve
should be aide to do ns well Ime, but
to accomplish this desleleratum sulllclent
help must bo given this department ai.d
competent Inspectors appointee! to see
and Insist that the work be prop. rlj
elono and the requliements of the speci

tho other hand I respect fulv aslc von

THEY ARE CONFIDENT.
Letter Cairier Delegates Determined
to Get tho Next Convention for
Scianton Pledges Received.
John H. Phillips, E. 15. Jones, Mich
ael O'Mallev and Joseph Fldlnm, the
Scranton delegates to tho Letter Car
riers convention which begins next
Monday in Toledo, Ohio, left at 1210
o'clock this morning via of the Dela
ware, I.acknwonnn and Western toad
to bo on the ground enrly In the move
ment to bring the 1S91) convention to
this city.
They are aimed with endorsements
ot the Invitations from councils, tho
mayor, the editots of the local papers,
and fifty of the most prominent busi
ness men. They also have campaign
placards and buttons and enthuslnsm
galore.
More valuable still they carry with
them twenty proxies from cities In
Pennsylvania that do not Intend to
send delegates. The whole state, with
tho exeception of Philadelphia, which
Is non-commlttnl, nnd New York state
with the exeception of New York city
and Buffalo which like Philadelphia
would give no decided answer, arc solid
for Scranton
Baltimore nnd Ohattnnooga nre tho
llval claimants The light, however,
will be between Chattanooga and
Scranton, as Baltimore It Is quite cer
tain Is only In tho light for the pur
pose of making a deal for the first
vico-presldcnc).
Theie will be TOO delegates and 000
votes In tho convention Every brnnch
In the union has been "seen" bv the
Scranton cnmpalgneis and from tho
nnswers received theie Is every reason
to believe that a majority of them will
favor this clt)
This is the third time tho Scranton
cnrrleis have made a fight for the con
vention. Two )ears ago they were de
feated by only six votes and they had
the whole of New York against them.
Last )ear when Toledo captured the
prize It was conceded quite generally
that Scranton should be lecognbel
next time and If the sentiment that
prevailed then had not unelercone n
great change tho local delegates will
come back 'victotlous.
