From a Carefully Compiled Estimate It Would Appear Tlmt It Will Require no More, or nt All Events Not Much More, to Run Scranton Second Class Than It Does nt Present Revenue from Liquor Licenses Will ile Greatly In creased. Leaving aside all consideration or the Increased revenue that would come from liquor licenses, Scranton lias little to dread In a financial way from lis nppt'ouchlng transformation from ft third-class to a second-class city. Not counting paid firemen, police lieutcriiintH, detectives and patrolmen and such other employes as vary largely In number according to the size and systems of cities, there is paid nt present in salary and wages $59,470, divided as follows: Mayor Cloik Treasurer Chief clerk Controller Clerks Solicitor Assistant City clerk Assistant Cletks Common council clerk Janitor and assistants ....

In applying the sal ary list of a second-class city to Scran ton, and using Allegheny as a criterion, allowance must be made for a number of offices that aru not necessary to this city, as for instance a superintendent of the bureau of wharves and landings. Some cuts that could be made in Al legheny's salary list, should it bo ap plied to Scranton, follow: Mayor 4,110 J2,;0) Central police magistrate... l.oOO fOO Comptroller 2,500 2,000 Clerk hire 2,400 ,.Vi0 Treasurer's clerk biro 'J.'oOO l.sno Solicitor's 3.70U 2, sot) Hacterlologlst 1,500 "Hure.ui of water S.2U0 Hureau of lighting 4,fiS0 Supt. wharves and landings 1,000 ... .

This brings the Allegheny list down to $63,710, or only $4,210 more than It costs to run Scranton under a third class charter. Below Is given a second-class city salary mid wages list such as would bo fair and reasonable for Scranton, tak ing the present salaries and wages paid in Scranton as a basis for positions that aro similar as to duties, under cither charter, and basing the re muneration for new offices on the Al legheny list with due allowances made for tho difference in tho size of the two cities: AN ESTIMATE.

Difference 9.4W MIGHT HE DISPENSED WITH. The superintendent of bureau of li braries Is an ofllce that might bo dis pensed with In this city. In Alle gheny this official looks after the li brary buildings. Here, tho librarian of our one library would very likely bo willing to wear tho title without asking extra compensation. He at present docs tho work that belongs to the ofllce. The police magistrate may or may not be aldermen. If the city chooses t.i bo economical It will select aldermen for Its police magistrates, as they could afford to do the work for a nominal figure, except In the case of the ven tral magistrate who would cxpec. probably $500 a year for presiding at headquarters' police court. In some Instances It Is likely a snv Ing can be made In tho assistant sup erintendents of bureaus. Just at ind ent this city is hardly largo enough to warrant nil theso oillces and with a wise and discreet, councils directing the organization of tho new city gov ernment some of theso seemingly un iii'iossary unices will bo lopped off. Pur instance, the assistant superin tendent of tin1 bureau of police could hardly find enough to do under an energetic chief to keep him out of mis chief. When tho city and the police force expands In due course of time such an official may be lndlspcnslbl. but for some years to come the de partment could very likely worry alonjj without him. Tho same would apply to the -up-erlntondent of the burVau of fir?, or as we call him, chief of the lire de partment. Clerk hire can also be cut down extensively by comblr.l '.g, fox Instance, tho clerical work of the various bureaus of a department Just ns 'the mayor's secretary, at sir 'Hint serves as the clerk to the chief of police, and the clerk of common coun cil acts as clerk to tho street commis sioner. Another saving that must be taken Into consideration Is tho present cost of running the poor board. Under tho now charter, as explained last Mon day, the poor board Is dissolved and the work of tho Scranton portion of the district devolves upon the depart ment of public charities. Tho cost of one about balances tho cost of tho other, and In consequence $3,000 can be subtracted from the $9,440, which the above computation shows is the oxcess in tho expenses of running Scranton as n, second class city over Its present governmental expenditures as a third class city. This coupled with the other possible savings suggested leaves It a question as to whether or not Scranton could be run Just as cheaply under a sec ond class city charter ns at present under a third class charter. PLUNGED DOWN THE BANK Street Car Jumps the Track at Wes ton Place Switch Four Persons Paintully injured others Have Narrow Escape. Car No. 160, of the Scranton Rail way company, outward bound to Peck vllle, and In charge of Motorman Jn seph ((111 and Conductor Kimball, jumped the track at tho Weston Place switch at 9.23 o'clock last night and plunged down tho embankment on the east side of the track. Tho register Indicates that there were twenty passengers aboard and the car's crew report that all escaped except three, two women and one girl, who wore slightly Injured. Dr. D. H. Jen kins was called anl attended the in jured. Contused wounds and shock seemed to bo the main trouble. The women and the girl were removed to their homes, said to be In Olyphant. Motorman Gill was bruised and his face lacerated by being thrown against the platform gate. Fortunately for all concerned, the car Instead of going to the bottom of the embankment or turning over, ran over the edge and by reason of its weight sank Into the soft earth. RELIGIOUS NEWS NOTES.
