DECISION IN A
LACKAWANNA CASE
LOCAL COURT SUSTAINED IN
JADWIN-HURLEY FINDING.
Supeiior Court In Session at Harris
buig Yesterday Affirms tho Opin
ion of Judgo Albright That the
City Ticasuier Has no Authority
to Issue a License to a Real Estato
Broker Authority Is Vested in
County Ticasuier, as Mercantile
Appraisement Is a County Affair.
Among tho decisions handed down by
tho supeiior court nt llnrrlshuig yes
terday was otic nfllrmliiK the llndlntr
of the local court In the case of Jadwln
against Hurley.
This suit irrow out of a dispute over
commissions on a real estate sale be
tween C. P. Jadwln, tho real estate
agent, nnd H. V.. Hurley, the promotor
ot the Noith Patk addition to Scranton.
The suit Itself, Involving as It did only
$205, was of no moio than passing- Im
portance, hut when It came to he tried
the defense raised n point of law that
was of extreme Importance, as It
brought Into question the legality of
nearly every mercantile license under
which bur.Inoss Is conducted In Scran
ton. in addition to defcndinR the case on
Its met Its, Air. Hut ley's nttoincy, T. F.
Wells, made tho technical contention
that tho plaintiff's leal estate broker
license. Issued by the city treasurer,
was Invalid and that, In consequence
thereof, he cculd notcollect at law for
sen Ices rendered as a roal estate
broke!.
This contention i.is founded on tho
nlleged lepeal of a special law for this
city at Its Inception by subsequent gen
eral legislation.
The special law authorized tho city
councils to name tho city mercantile
appraiser unci directed the city treas
uier to lecelve the assessments and
issue the licenses. Tho general legis
lation made the matter of mercantile
appraisement a. county affair and the
county treasurer Issued the licenses.
The city continued to Issue certain
special licenses, such as those for real
estate btokeis. This, the defense In
the suit In l'aston claimed, was wrong.
Judge Hdwln Albilght, of Allentown,
sustained this contention of the defense
and now the Superior c mirt upholds
Judge Albilght.

MAKING SURVEYS
ABOUT LEBANON
FORCE OF LACKAWANNA STEEL
CO. ENGINEERS ARE THERE.
This Lends tlio Lebanon Report to
Concludo That the Lackawanna
Iron nnd Steel Company Proposes
to Construct n Steel Billet Plant
nt That Place Can Get No In
formation on tho Subject from the
Ofilclnlo of tho Company at Leb
anon. Tho Lebanon Report of Wednesday
contained tho following nrtlcle which
Is of gieat interest In this city:
"The long-floated rumor that Leban
on Is soon to httvo a steel plant re
ceived a sudden and veiy petceptlble
Impetus last evening when an eglnoer
corps, headed by C. C. Conkllng, C. U,
of Sctanton reached this city
and registered for the most
part at the Fagle Hotel. Their com
ing had not been heralded and the few
on the "inside" knew of their arilval
though boxes of Instalments nnd those
weapons suggestive of suiveylng had
already aroused suspicions thnt some
thing unusual was In the wind. Rut
neither Air. Conkllng nor any of his
party seemed over communicative and
the wondering public has still the ptl
vllege of guessing nnd guessing it Is.
"The facts in the caso are that an
engineering party of some nine or ton
Is here that is employed by the Laek
w annua Iron and Stool company, that
Air. Conkllng, its chief, has been to
Cornwall "to look around," that data
iclatlve to tho geology of tho South
mountains Is bring gathered, maps me
being scanned nnd counsel Is being
kept closer than does a miser his cher
ished stole.
TO DRILL FOR WATER.
"Another chain In tho evidence Is
that on the way Is the outfit of a drill
ing machine, wherewith tho coips will
seek to find what tho city has so long
desired in the South mountain that
tiling that topers sometimes take "on
the side,' to wit: water.
"What else Air. Conkllng nnd his
corps may do prior to their night fiom
these delightful climes Is a matter of
heaisav.
"Inquiry nt headeiuartcrs avails prac
tically nothing. What they know or
what they do not know Is for them and
not for the public. When their plans
arc complete or when they aie piepared
to drop any plans that they may hav o
regarding uny local developments, the
Scranton managers will take the pub
lic Into their conlldence. Until then
those who llnd pleasure In unraveling
mysteries or choosing blindfolded be
tween two unknown matters mo right
In It anil these seveial dealers In fu
tures nie not slow In outlining tho
whole scheme, provided always that
'I'm kept out of It, 'you won't quote
me,' and 'don't say I told jou."
All premise these statements with the
declaration first made some live years
ago, that the Lackawanna lion and
Steel compny must build a steel plant
somewhere If not here, then else
where. As the company owns a num
ber of shares in the ore banks, two
laige furnaces and a pait of the Corn
wall and Lebanon railroad, It Is ad
vanced thatLebanon Is the proper place
for this new steel plant on account
of the cheap assemblage of 'raw' ma
terial. As any steel mill, water Is a
sine qua non, the fact that these en
gineers ate llrst delving after Adams'
ale Is taken as conclusive ov lelence of
the long dreamed of steel plant,
Af ATTURS NOT KNOWN.
"What Air. Conkllng and his corps
nre hero for, what they will do, wheio
they will investigate, what they will re
port, what tho Lackawanna company
will do with that icport are matteis
locked up somc-vv here beyond the scent
of reporter or bloodhound. If condi
tions In Lebanon aie favoi.ible to the
economical making of steel billets and
a plant can bo erected here at a cost
within the nattnal commeiclal limit,
It may be concluded that a steel plant
Is among the probabilities.
"Rut the suggestion Is wisely held
out that landlords before raising rents
had better collect back dues and wait
to see the mill foundations in."
