THE CITY'S STKBETS.
Tho work of Street Commissioner P. J.
O'Hoyle since assuming ofllco six months
. ago has been eminently satisfactory. It
must bo remembered that, when he took
up tho work, almost the entire appro
priation for the? department had been
expended for the repair of the asphalted
streets In the central city. He has tlitiv
foro been obliged to tceinomize In every
direction slncu then and tin- results ac
complished by him have, under the con
ditions, been really remarkable. It Is
worthy of remark that but mm ot the
appropriations for this department will be
overdrawn this year and that this, tint
for the repair of bridges and culverts,
will be overdrawn only a small amount.
With ii full year's appropriation to draw
from. I feed sure that Mr. O'Hoyle will
make an enviable icoord In hsl depart
mental work.
THE POLICE OKPAllTMENT.
Too much cannot be said in praise of
the work of the Scrantou police depart
ment during the year .lust passed. Chief
Martin Ourrell has adhered to the lines
laid down by e:;-Chlef Frank Itobllng, jr..
who Is an ofllcer In the service ot the
United Stales. With a smallei fotce In
proportion to population and area than
any city In the country, we have been
freer from denredatlo-s of criminals o
nil classes than any other city of like size.
As 1 have pointed out in previous mes
sages this fortuuale condition Is uiiques
llonably Mrgelv due to Hie excellently
lighted streets In this city. This abund
ance of light serves the same purpose as
u number of policemen and Is oxpcci.illy
a deterrent to such pettv offenders as
chicken, clothes-llr.e and refrigerator
thieves. I herewith submit n brief sum
mary of the work of the department dur
lug tho year Just ended:
Jlon. .lames U. H.iilev. Mayor, Scran
ton, Pa.
Sir: Ileiewlth I beg to submit a sum
mary of the work of the police depart
ment for the year beginning Jan. 1, IMN.
The total number of arrests made was
2.0SS. and tho total amount of lines col.
lecfed was K!,.T&.Cn.
Besides the work of making nrrests 'he
patrolman have bei n engaged In other
duties of various kinds.
Over 7,010 poles belonging to the several
telephone, teb'gri'Ph. electric lUht and
railroad e'ompanles were counted and up
portioned by the olllcers during tho year.
In snow storms the patrolmen have
made house-to-house e-alls directing ten
ants to clean off tbclr sidewalks.
One hundred i ml fifty dogs and cats
wero ellttpoxcsl of. Of these animals 81
wvro shot by the ofllcers.
A number of Hies were discovered by
tho patrolmen and extinguished without
the aid of the lire department. The olll
cers also sent In several alaims of fire.
Muny lost chlldtcn were found and re
stored to their parents.
The pollro ulso reported over Id.fluo hourx
of shortage of light In the street lamps.
Tho olllcers on night dutv discovered a
number of buildings llcodeit by the burst
Ing of water pipes and hud the defects
remedied.
Tho patrol wagon wns In use over TM
times during the year.
Ono hundred and forty doors wero founl
open In tho night time and the tenants
or owners of tho property nolilled.
Many hundred complaints of one kind good that was accomplished through its
Insurance saved
Alarms: 19 rtllls. S false
oral. 11.1 bells; total, 17'i.
I regard this showing as one worthy
of all priilsc. In proportion to the amount
of money expended for firo protection. It
Is not excelled by nny department In any
city whose report has reached my ofllco.
A HEASONAHI.E BOND OHDINANCF.
The necessity of certain Improvements
which are enumerated in this message
are so apparent that argument upon their
advisability Is supeitluous. The con
struction of adequate sewers, the opening
of certain street, the fitting up of a cred-
liable park and tho building of a viaduct
e.n West Lackawanna, avenao are the
most pressing of these Improvements.
For the maklnu of these it Is necessary
Hot ei bond ordinance should bo passed.
It is useless to attempt to dodge this
eiuestlon. These lmpiovements must be
made within n very short time and the
matter may ns well be submitted to the
people now as a year hence. With proper
dlllgene- and careful consideration of
the subject IV rouneiU. Hit ordinance
can be passed In lime to bo voted upon ut
the February election. 1 eame-stly rec
ommend that this be done The people
should be given the earliest possible op
portunity to express their wishes in this
Important mailer and w are not Justi
fied in plnclng any obstructions In tho
way of such expression.
CITY HALL IMPROVEMENTS.
In my Inaugural adtlress of tlnee years
ago, I recommended that the floors of
the corridors In the city hall be tiled anil
that the walls be cleaned and painted,
The woik of tiling the corridor on the
first floor has Just bton completed and
tho Improvement Is so marked that It
should servo as an Incentive- for a con
tinuation of the good work.
THE THAMP NUISANCE.
The winter season brings into Scianloa
an iiirmy of vugrants whose loose habits
and whoso disregard of the rights to
property that the law confers up in every
Individual make them a euro to the pnll-.'o
department and a menace to right-living
residents of Scranton. Tho statute laws
of Pennsylvania contemplate tho placing
of these vagrants nt some form ot hard
labor In a workhouse to be provided by
the county. As no provision has been
made by the county commissioners for
the proper enforcement of the Nagrnn-y
laws, 1 would suggest that their attcn
Hon bo directed to this omission. The
establishment of a workhouse, If its af
fairs weru property administered, do
more toward eliminating the tramp nuis
ance than all the police court lectures
nnd all the thirty-day sentences In the
world. I have really no authority undr-r
tho law to place these men at work upon
the sttvets or anywhere else. The only
penalty that can be Imposed Is a fine or
Imprisonment in the county jail. They
cannot pay tho fine and the tmpilson
merit during the cold months Is exactly
to their liking.
NAY AUC3 PARK.
Through tho generosity und tho enter
prise of some citizens, first among whom
1 would mention Dr. G. 11. Hill, Nay Aug
park has been Improved and bvau tilled to
a greater extent than the annual appro
priation would allow. Park Commis
sioners Scrnnton, McCann and Bedford
have unselfishly devoted much time and
work to tho duties of their others and 'ho
results are apparent to every one who
will take tho trouble to make mi Inves
tigation, During last tunimer, Nny Aug
park, was, mora than ever, the pleasure
ground of the people of this city. Tho
mayor explained thnt lie lind referred
the mutter to the jtnlleltor.
Au iii'dliinnco providing for n per
manent limn for Nov Aug Englno cotn-
pnny wns reported favorably. Some
objection wns uuiilo by Mf. Lansing
to creating olllccs for which no sulnvles
nre available. Mr. Schrocdcr, In reply,
said that councils should not lnirchnse
npparnttis nnd then fall to provide
men to operate it. Tho measure! failed
to pass ilrst reading, the vote bolng
0 to 7.
The streets and hrldgoH committee
reported favonibl:. n common coun
