REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMIT
TEE OF SELECT COUNCIL ON
ASPHALT REPAIRS.
To the Select Council, Scranton, Pa.
Gentlemen! The undersigned, your
committee, appointed to cdnsldcr and
report upon that part of tho rcuort of
the city engineer relating to tne ques
tion of repairing of asphalt pave In this
city, beg to make the following report!
Since tho year 18SG thero has been
laid upon tho streets In tho central,
business and residence portion of this
city about 220,000 uquaro yards of as
phalt pave, all at a coat of about $503,
000, exclusive of the cost of curbing nnd
footwalks. All of this work whh paid
for by tho abutting property holders.
During the flvo years guarantee period
which each and every contractor gives
upon nil asphalt pave laid here, the
pavements were kept In good condition
and repair. Since the expiration of this
guarantee period on the several streets,
but slight expenditures have been made
for their maintenance, nnd ns a result
of this neglect of them the older pave
ments, ranging from twelve yearB
down, have become very much broken
nnd out of repair, no much ns to at
tract tho very serious attention of this
body over n year nga At that time a
special committee was appointed for
tho purpose of dcvlBlng some plan
whereby tho pave might be repaired
and the city saved tho expense for pos
sible accidents which were likely to
occur owing to their bad condition. As
a result of the labors of that commit
tee n plan was devised whereby tho
city should on Its part make a contract
with some responsible paving firm for
tho repair and maintenance of the
streets In good condition for a period
of ten years, and to this end an ordi
nance was passed by the two councils
authorizing the proper offlcera of the
city government to advertise for nnd
receive bids and enter Into contract for
this service. Illds were received from
four competing companies. The sched
ule of these bids was published In the
city engineer's rcpoit, and shows that
the contract wns awarded to the Har
bor Asphalt Paving company, the low
est bidder by a very considerable
amount, and the contract wns awarded
and entered Into by tho city officials
with that company. Subsequently tho
question was raised by competitors and
a few of tho citizens of this city, ques
tioning the power of the city to enter
Into such a contract, and the opposi
tion to this action culminated In a suit
filed In courts, asking that the officials
of tho city bo enjoined from entering
Into such a contrnct. The question was
thoroughly tried on both sides, and tho
court decided that the city had ample
power to make such a contract, and
the contrnct wns again a second time
entered Into with that company to per
form tho work of repairs to the asphalt
pave.
During tho closing weeks of tho last
councils the committee of tho two
bodies Inserted an Item In the appro
priation ordinance for tho sum of $17.
D20 for tho payment of tho service of
repairs to the asphalt pave during tho
present fiscal year, In discharge of thj
obligation which tho city had tnken
upon Itself in executing tho contract
for thnt work, nnd that ordinance
passed both branches of tho council
nnd went to tho mayor, who, In his
misjudged zeal to perform a public ser
vice for the community, vetoed tho Item
in question.
So it would seem that the city gov
ernment Is In the position of having
entered Into an obligation to pay a
certain sum of money for the perform
ance of a certain class of work repair
of asphalt pave and Is without tho
funds to dlschnrge this obligation.
A great deal has been published In
public print, and a great deal of talk
has been Indulged In in regard to the
amount of money which the city has
promised to pay for the performance of
tho work of placing all the asphalt
pave In the city In good substantial
condition. When the bids were received
by this council for the work in ques
tion, offers came in from four different
companies, whose Interests, develop
ments afterwards showed, were antag
onistic to each other, and It Is fair to
presume that the price bid and at which
tho contract was let, was the most
favorablo one that could be procured
from nny responsible asphalt paving
company doing business In tho United
States. With the bid of the successful
contractor for this work camo a letter
explaining the manner and method In
which they proposed Xo undertako and
carry on this repair work. They say
that they will undertake to place the
pave of this city in good repair and In
perfect order at an expenditure of over
$100,000 within tho period of two years.
What do we find In this proposition?
It Is, that this reputable firm proposes
to furnish In advance to tho city of
Scranton a sufficient amount of capital
to place the streets in perfect order
within that time and then maintain
them and keep them In proper shape
for a period or ten years, and then re
ceive from the city In annual Install
ments tho capital which they advanced
to do the work. This is undoubtedly
the most advantageous proposition
that tho city of Scranton has ever re
ceived from anyone In the execution of
public works, particularly so when we
find ourselves without means to accom
plish the object sought to be done.
A computation of the expense of re
pall's shows that It Is only 3 per cent,
upon the orignal capital Invested In
laying the pave; whereas the cost of
maintenance of railroads, machinery,
mining plants and other works Is 10
per cent, or more. These figures un
doubtedly show that it will cost less
to maintain the asphalt pave, based
upon tho original cost of the Improve
ment, than any surfaco Improvements
In the clty.of Scranton.
Viewing the matter as your commit-
teo does, we believe that the propo
sitlon which Is embraced In the contract
between this city and tho Barber As
phalt Paving company for the repairs
and maintenance of the pave for tho
next ten years which practically fur
nishes new pave for from 80,000 to 100,
000 yards, and keeps them In thorough
repair for the next ten years, Is a most
advantageous proposition, and greatly
subserves the Interests of the city and
property holders.
Respectfully submitted.
T. C. Melvln, chairman.

TAKING OFF TRAINS.
Central Railroad of Now Jersey Re
ducing Passenger Service.
After today there will be only one
Sunday train running over the Central
Railroad of New Jersey out of this
city and this ono will be the regular
through train All local Sunday trains
are to bo abandoned between hero and
Wllkes-Barre. The regulur train ar
ilvcs here nt 12.45 p. m. and leaves at
2.15 p. m. In addition to the above, a
change will be made In tho dally local
service out of Wllkes-Barre to Wana
mle nnd Scranton. Only one train will
make the round trip. Instead of three
as heretofore. In addition to this, two
through trains will arrive and depart
from tho city.
For some time the Central enjoyed
the distinction of having the only Sun
day (local) service out of Scranton. The
Sundny service on tho Bloomsburg
division of tho Delaware, Lackawanna
nnd -Western railroad nnd Delaware
and Hudson naturally t educed the Cen
tral road's patronage.

FUTURE OF THIRTEENTH.
An Extension of Tlmo May Be
Granted Now Armory Will Fol
low Reorganization of tho
Regiment.
There Is n faint possibility that nn
extension of tlmo will be granted tho
Thirteenth regiment to effect reorgan
ization, ns has been done in tho case
of tho Ninth, but there Is very little
possibility of more than one or, at the
most, two of the Thirteenth companies
being able to reorganize.
Captain Robllng's Company C has
forty-two members enrolled for rc-en-llstment,
and the number sufficient to
fill out the minimum quota can bo
recruited, the captain savs. Ho was
prcpated Tuesday night to present a
full company for acceptance, but was
prevented from so doing owing to tho
absence of Mujor Millar.
In due tlmo, extension or no ex
tension, tho Thirteenth regiment is
doomed to dissolve, nnd when that oc
curs orders will quickly follow direct
ing Colonel Watrcs to proceed with
the reorganization of tho Eleventh reg
iment In conformity with the new act.
This being effected, tho new armory
will appear. The manner and whenco
ncss of Its coming Is not, as yet, public
property. All that can be said Is that
tho new armory will follow closely
on the heels of Colonel Watrcs' assign
ment as permanent commander of tho
local regiment.
A number of tho officers of the Thir
teenth will be Invited to accept posi
tions In the new regiment. Lieuten
ant Colonel F. W. Stlllwell will bo one
of those. Major E. D. Fellows and
Major W. A. Wood will likely bo two
others. Such officers ns do not suc
ceed in securing places In the new regi
ment will, it Is said, bo permitted to
resign their commissions.
