Resolutions Avo Introduced Tending to Enforco the Ordinance Upon tho Property Holdeis Agreolng to Pay tho Assessment but These Are Set Asldo and an Amendment Substi tuted Permitting a Private Con tract Under Certain Conditions. Other Important Measuies Dealt with. Until branr-hCH of council last night ngteed to allow the propel ty owners on Piovldence road and North Main ave nue, between Jones street anil the city line, to enter Into a urlvnta paving contract, providing the work shall he done by the contractor engaged under the ordinance now In litigation and that tho pioperty holdeis and eontrac tor shnll absolve the city by written agreement fiom all liability tinder tho original contract. Tho matter came up In relccl coun cil in a resolution Introduced by Mr. Koss directing the city engineer to fur nish Ccnti oiler George McDonald with lines, stakes and such information ns may be necctRnry for the paving of Providence road and North Main ave nue, upon the property nolder3 agree In:? to pay the usessnient, notwith standing whit the outcome of injunc tion proceedings may be. Mr. S'ltideiMin offered u.s un amend ment the lesoltttlon allowing the prop el ty holders to enter Into private con- ttaet. If stipulated, In addition to what Is mentioned above, that no block be Included In tho contract unless every ptopetty holder theieon signs the prescilbed release. Mr. Iloche seconded Mr. Snndersjn'n motion to adopt the amendment and presented for the consldeiatlon of council an opinion fiom City Solicitor McGlnley calling nttentlon to the In junction pi encodings chaiacterlzing as dangerous to disregard the litiga tion, and advising, in line with Judge Sti rick's opinion, In a similar case from this city (Unnes vs. City of Scianton), that "municipal ofllcers should leain to follow the plain, spe cific prov islons of the lav. " To adopt a measure such ns Mr. Itoss piesented would be liable to mulct the city feir the whole cost of tne pavement The opinion follows In full CITY SOLICITOR'S OPINION. To the Select and Common Councils, City of Scranton Gentlemen: I deem It ni) duty to sub mit to )ou ii Htuteni) nt of the le'gal status of tho protect topave North Main ave nue und Providence ro id The consum mation of this great improvement wuiild be a gratlt)ltig addition to the man) evi dences of substantial developments which this city has had: but It must be effectiHl in the way and after the manner that the law contemplates such Impiovcmcnts shall be made. Tho contract with George McDonald lor this pavo was executed on August 10, lS'K. On August M, 1S1-!, a suit in equity w is Instituted by Charles S. Lour) who named tho city ef Scranton and Ueot-to McDonald as defendants. Tho bill as filed attacks tho validity of the oidlnatiee In pursuunco of which tho contract was made, and nsks the court to isue an In junction "restraining the said defend m's from tiling liens against )our oiators property or In any manner proceeding under the mithoilty of tho ordinance nbovu set fottli to collect fiom )oui oi ator an) sum of money in pa)inent tor the Improvement as above set forth, tnJ to restrain the said contractor, Georgo McDonald, fiom digging up, obsti acting or in any manner interfering with tho strec In fiont of your orator's prop er!) ." All owners of abutting pioperty along the lino of the proposed pave will bo aftected by tho decision In tho Low rj case notwithstanding they are not parties to the bill An answer, on behalf of the city, was filed on September G, 1SM. Equity couit, in which cuos of this natuie aie heat I, will not sit until tho week commencing November 7. 1S9S. But tecognizlng the near nppioith of weather unsuitable for paving, ever) effoit was exhausted to have the caso disposed of at once but without avail. On October 1 1V0S, court ordered Mr. Lower) to demur to the an swer of the city or replv thereto within ten da)s, or In default thereof replication to be entered by tho prolhonotary. If this step should result favorably to the city, tho case could then be heard at uny time convenient to the judges VKIfi UNWISE POLICV. It Is now siirtgesti il b) ownns ut prop city along the line of the proposed Ini piovemcnt that councils enfoice thu pio v Islons of tho contiact und instinct the city engineer 'to assumu ellieetion and supervision of the woik. This dlsieKaid of the pending litigation would be u vo.y unwise policy tor the city to pursue If she assumes such a course, she duca it nt the peill of becoming liable tor tht rost of tho entile pave amounting to about $s0,0W it the ordinance be declined b) tho court to bo legal, thin thu ex pense of the pave will be usscssea to und bomo by the property owners along ihe lino or work; if It should be (Iceland il legal, and the city authorities had direct ed the work to be done In the lace ot th suit, tho munlclpalit) would be liable lor tho entire cost. In such an event, in stead of tho expense being paid by thoo who leap thu imtneulato benetit, as is con templated by tho law undei which the ordinance is drawn, it would be u chai against all ibo taxpa)ers ot tho city, atU would be an unwarranted buiden upon a large majoiit) ol citizens who deiive no partlculm benellt from it. Tho principle ot hew Involved In this conclusion is well settled, one of thu more recent cabes being against the my of llarilabuif,, decided bv the circuit couit of tho United Stutes and i im ported In I'nlted States supreme couit ti ports, book 41, page Ml, In whicii ease tho city was obliged to pay an amou-it cleso to $J(i,U0U. Also, in the ease oi Barnes against the city of Scranton, le poiteel In Pennsjlv unlii state leports, book 117 page tbl, the same question w is ed upon This was a matter cone in . sessments for the constitution of the three main sewers. Some assessment i had bc-cn paid b) abutting pioputy own ers before tho contest was Instituted; but us a result of the action, all of the un paid balance) was placed upon the city Chief Justice Stcriltt, In dellveiing tho opinion of tho supieine ccvirt, said: "It Is an easy matter to follow the plain p o visions of assembly, nnd the sooner mu nicipal authorities realize tho necessity of doing so, the better It will bo for nil concerned. When this Is dune, less of our time, and the time of the local courts will bo necessarily consumed In attempts to correct Inexcusable blunders " ONLY SAFI3 COURSE. Tho proposition of some of thu abutting owners along Providence road and North Main uvenue to sign on nRioement to pay tho cost of pivo in front of their re sptctlvo ptopettle-s does not materially alter the situation. Thu act of assem bly provides a specific way of leulizlng the todt of Improvements such us is con. tompluted in this case. Tho only snfo com so to follow ,and that which Is most fair to all tho people Is to adhere strictly to tho law by which tho clly Is governed, .Air. Sanderson explained that he wns desirous of helping tho people of the North End to lemove, If possible, the obstucles that woo causing such vexa tious delays to tho paving project. Ho was informed by ono who seemed to speak with knowledge that tho con tractor would not go ahead with tho work under tho lloss resolution, and for that reason he had prepared tho amendment. Mr. Roche spoke In favor of Mr. San derson's amendment. The Koss reso lution was dangerous, lie said. It would Jeopardize tho city. The Sanderson amendment, while it might not be any moro opcratlvo thnn the Ross resolu tion, mos a safo measure, it shows tho people of the North End that there wns no ground for their suspicions thnt the select council, with tho city solicitor, nro throwing obstacles in tho way of the pave and nt the same time It does not endanger the city being held liable for an $M),000 paving Job. Mr. Sanderson In loply to a quei) fiom Mr. Roche, explained that the block between Court and Jones sheets was left eut of his resolution because the plaintiff In the equity suit. Chat lea V. Lovvery, lives there nnd It Is cettuln he will not sign the agreement. Mr. Lansing spoke a good word for the amendment, saying that while It was, In his opinion, Impoinllve, It showed a disposition on the part of select council to do all it can In thp preml-es and for that reason he would vote for It. Mr. Sanderson nodded concurrence In the Idea expressed by Mr. Lansing Mr. McCann wanted to know if the amendment did not conflict with the city solicitors opinion. Mr. Samlet son answered that while it was not exactly following Mr. McGlnlcy's advice, the adoption of the amendment would not In any way Jeopardize the city, as It is not opetatlve until all previous legisla tion and contracts are Ignored, At this Juncture council was much surprised to hear Mr. Koss suggest that both the resolution and amendment be allowed to drop. On second consldeia tlon It was eiulte evident that little, if any time was to be gained, us the sheet could hardly be canvassed much before court will have rendeied Its de cision In the Injunction eat-e. TO LET IT DROP. Mr McCann and Mr. Roche advised letting tho matter drop, as suggested by Mr. Ross. If their lepiesontatlves In council do not want us to do them this olllce, said they, theie Is no reason why we should foico It upon them. Chniiman Chittenden gave his advice In favor of waiting on the court's no tion. He also took occasion to explain that It wns he who had seemed the opinion from the city solicitor. He had noticed newspaper article's In which it was alleged that the city solicitor was putting obstucles In the way of tho pave. Ho went to see Mr. MeGlnley about It, learned something of the law In the matter, and becoming satMlcd that Mr. McGlnley's position wns the light one, suggested to him to glvo councils a conect undet standing of the matter. Mr. Sandeison and Coyne wanted to pass the measure for the moial effect It would have If for nothing eKe. Mr. Coyne, reverting to the otlgtnnl re'olutlon, asked If Mr. Ross had se emed any legal advice on It. Mr. Ross replied that It was drawn up by one of the nttorneys for the pioperty hold ers. This did not cause any wild tush ot suppoitets to the Ross le'solutlem. In this connection Mr. Melvln volun teeied the Information thnt when Mr. Rost. and Mr. Finn waited upon the city solicitor In legnrd to tho htund ho had tnken In the matter, Mi. Mc Glnley nsuied them that any reputable lawyer woulel tell them the same thing nnd offeied to pay out of his own pock et whatever It would cost to obtain nn opinion from any disinterested nnd p-cmlnent attorney. AMENDMENT CvERIED. The motion to adopt the Sandeison nriendment cnirlcd by a viva voce vole. No one culled for the ayes und l.iliH. The Keller usphnlt repair ordinance, contemplating n ten jear contiact, was lofeued to the puvlng committee to icpoit foithvvlth. Thp committee iee cminended that It bo submitted to the city solicitor for an opinion. Mossts. Sanderson, Lansing nnd Itoche. ndv lsed that it be passed on Hist leading und then submitted to the hiilli itor, which would avoid a wcek't, delay. This was dor Mi. Roche explained thnt the Dela wuic nnd Hudson Canal company Is closing up Pino stiect, between Wyom irie end Capouse avenues, and Ash sheet, between Monsey avenue and lh llvei, nnd introduced a resolution dlie'i'tlns the city solicitor and city en gineer to inquire Into the matter. These thoioughfarcs, to the best ot Mr. Lot he's belief, have been opened niid Ufed as stieets for over tvventv one yeats. An oidlnancj was Introduced by Mr. Sanderson granting the Scran ton Hallway company authoilty to extend Its lines as follows: Wyoming avenue, from Green Ridge Ltieet to tho line of North Park; oi.

Judge Searlo Keiused to Take the Olyphant Bank Case fiom the Consideration of Twelve Good Men and True, Judge Seaile ycsteiday refused the leiiuest of the plaintiff In tho Olyphant bank case, to take the case from the consldeiatlon of the Jury. Judge Mc Phcison who tiled the Inst one giant ed a similar motion, but later admitted that this was In euor und uwurded a new hlal. When dliectod to ptoceed to the jury Major Wan on for the defense and Mr Hums for the plaintiff made the clos ing arguments Each side wanted It to nppenr that the Olyphant bank was a badly managed Institution und when the nttorneys are considered It will be tendily believed that there are twelve men in this county at this particular time who have not what might be called a high regaid for the Olyphant Tutst company's dliectorute. It is a toss up as to whether Major Wan en's direct and uniesh allied lambasting or Mr. Durn's cutting sarcasm und cool satire had the most effect. The cas,e will bo given to tho Jury this moining.
