THE SCRANTON TJUBUiNE-FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1899.
CARBONDALE
FIRE ALARM SITUATION.
It Is Too Lato for Present Councils
to Accomplish Anything.
It was Intended to Introduce In com
mon council tonight an ordinance pro
viding for the snlo of $12,000 bonds,
$3,000 or which was to be appropriated
for lire ularm, nntl IC.COO for surface
Bowers on Garlleld, Salem, Seventh und
Klghth avenues.
It wna dlscoverd, however, that there
Is not time enough between now and
the first Monday in April to get the
measure through both branches as It
can bo acted, on at regular meetings
only As the new councils cannot tnko
up unfinished work of the old the or
dlnace will have to wult. If started
now It would simply die with old coun
cils. ,
Hence there Is no prospect of a llro
alarm system Inside of four months.
It will taUe until the first or middle of
May to get the ordinance through and
easily another month to advertise, get
bids and have the system erected. "With
nil possible expenditure It will ho the
Fourth of July before the city can be
provided with the protection It so ur
gently needs.
It is proposed to have tho bonds re
deemable at tho rate of $500 a year und
to levy a special tax of four-tenths of
a mill to pay principal and Interest.
This Is tho situation and it will do
no good to stew about it. The fire
nlarm will come just so quick and no
quicker. Derelict as councils may have
been in tho past they are now doing
the best they can.

JERMYN AND MAYFIELD.
The recent severe weather und re
ports of frozen hydrants in neighboring
towns has aroused the anxiety of some
of our citizens ns to the condition of
the hydrants In this borough. A local
correspondent in referring to the mat
ter says: "Our local authorities nre
not at all alarmed about the condition
of the hydrants. They have had no
examinations mado and they appear
to Ignore tho timely warning given in
other towns. The expenditure of a
few dollars to make an examination
of and thaw out any hydrant that
might be frozen would be a mere trifle
compared with the serious result of a
fire with nothing but frozen hydrnnts.
We suggest that tho proper authorities
make an examination us soon as pos
sible." The pupils of the high school have
placed an eight day clock In their
room
Rev. J. G. Evans, of Vandllng, will

A Smart Lawyer Who Was Never
Fined for Contempt.
Detroit used to havo a lawyer who
was ehrewd enough to show contempt
of court without incurring danger of
tho penalty that would have been vis
ited upon an offender less diplomatic.
He was at one time being heard In an
Important matter before tho supreme
court, and mado an assertion which
elicited from one of the Judges: "That
is not the law, sir."
