ROUND WOODS WILL
BECOME PUBLIC PARK
ENTIRE TRACT OF LAND PUR-,
CHASED BY W. W. WATSON.
Negotiations Which Havo JJeen
Carried on Quietly for Some Tlmo
Between President TrueEdalo and
tho Purchaser Wero Closed Yester
day Surrounding .Lanct Will no
Made Available for Building Pur
posesPurchase Price Is Under
stood to Be 00,400.
Negotiations for the purchase of the
Hound woods and the udjolnlns prop
erty, from tha Delaware, Lackawanna
ami Western company, which havo
been going on tdr soma tlm between
President Truct laU and lion. W. W.
Watson, vice president of the Keystone
Land company, wero closed at tho
lf.rmyn yesteiday, and the entire tract
of land from South Main avenue to
tho company houses on the west end,
and from the city line to Lincoln
HolAhts becomes the property of Mr.
Wntson.
Th" tract comprises nlnetythree acres
una It Is undet&tcod that the purchase
price was $C3 per acre. The purchase
was made through President Truesdale
nnd E. T. Lultcns. ot Hoboken, general
land agent of the Delaware, Latkn
wnnna and Western company, nnd Mr.
Wntson, but It Is understood that oth
er parties besides Mr. Watson will be
come Interested In the purchase. The
deeds nre now being prepared and the
transfer will be made for a cash con
sideration, which will amount to $C0,
430. Heretofore, under ex-FrcsIdent Sam
uel Sloan's administration, a proposi
tion for the purchase of this land was
out of the question. Mr. Sloan was
quoted as saying that tho property
would never bo sold while he was
president of the company. Since the
advent of tho new officials, however, It
was quite generally hinted that they
were favorable to the sale of the land,
but the fixed price was $1,000 per ncra
for the woodland, nnd that was con
sidered pretty steep by real estate men.
FOR A PUnLIC PARK.
So much has been printed through
the newspapers regarding; the avail
ability of the woods for n public park,
and the fact that the West Side board
of trade, nt their last meeting, appoint
ed a committee to confer with tho rail
road olllclals regarding the donntlon of
the land to the city for that purpose,
opened up an avenue through which
Mr. Watson foresaw great possibilities,
and Immediate action on his part re
sults In the realization of a hope which
the West Scranton people have cher
ished for many yenrs.
Mr. Watson Is largely interested In
the Keystone Land company, nnd it Is
owing to the fact that their property,
known as Lincoln Heights, adjoins this
plot of ground that the purchase was
made. It will eventually become one
continuous residence district. makliii?
one of the finest KUburban sites In tho
city.
The unoccupied land surrounding tho
woods will be cut up into building lots
and placed on the market as soon as
possible. Already plans have been pre
pared for opening the land, and streets
and avenues lending to nnd beyond the
woods from Main avenuo will be laid
out. Tho woods will be cleared of the
dead timber now lying around tho
ground nnd the work of Improving the
grove will be commenced Immediately.
In fact, the Round woods will be con
verted Into whnt will eventually bo
known as Lincoln park, nnd no money
will be spared to make it one of the
most attractive spots In northeastern
Pennsylvania. Already tho natural
advantages of tho place speak volumes
for Its usefulness for such a purpose.
PLAN OF THE STREETS.
Mr. Watson proposes to lay out a
plot of ground fronting on Main nve
nue, which will be donated to the city
for public use, nnd from the plans sub
mitted to a Tribune representative yes
terday, nil nvenues will lead directly
west from Main uvenue to the park,
similar to Stratford nnd other avenues
in Lincoln Heights.
Tho city line, or Round Woods Inne,
which now divides the purchased land
nnd tho plot of ground known as tho
Farvlew Land company's site, will bo
widened to tho width of an avenue,
and will probably be the main ap
proach to the park, but this has not
been definitely decided upon. Shade
trees will bo planted on all the streets
nnd every Improvement necessary for
a desirable home site will be made.
The property Is situated on tho west
erly side of South Main avenue nnd Is
Just outside the city lino on either side,
but Inasmuch ns the city line extends
far beyond tho land both on the south
eastern and northern sides, there is a
possibility of It becoming a part of
the city. The tract belonging to the
Farvlew Land company has been
opened for several years, nnd there
Is an ordinance now In councils per
taining to the acceptance of tho streets
therein by tho cltv.
Tho promoters of the deal, Mr. Wat
son said, will so improve the land sur
rounding the woods and make It such a
desirable site, In addition to pointing
out tho necessity of the place for a
public park, that the grove will ho
available for that rurpose If the city
olllclals are so Inclined to purchase It.

'TIS TIME TO
CALL A HALT
So President Luther Kel
ler of Common Coun
cil Declares.
CITY PLUNGING INTO DEBT
Instead of Dividing Up the Balance
in tho Fund for Electric Lights
Mr. Keller Suggested That It Be
Turned Into the Judgment and
Incidental Fund and the Bills in
the City Controller's Hands Paid.
Proposition Did Not Meet With
Approval Lamentable Condition
of the Apparatus of tho Fire De
partment Disclosed.
At last night's meeting of common
council Luther Keller, tho president of
that body, relinquished the chair and
going upon tho floor, made a stirring
arraignment of the reckless and al
most criminal manner In which the
city business Is transacted.
During the meeting of the common
council one week ago last night a num
ber of ordinances were introduced
transferring money from the electric
light fund to place permanent men In
fire engine houses, establish fire alarm
boxes nnd electric lights nnd do tnnny
other things nnd Mr. Keller served
notlco on the members of council that
he would opnose all such ordinances,
not because he thought tho Improve
ments unnecessary but for the reason
that It would bo good business policy
to use this balance for tho payment of
the city's debts.
After the appropriation ordinance
was passed this year, Betting aside a
certain sum of money for electric
lights, the Scranton Electric Light and
Heat company reduced the price per
light for electric street lights, which
will make the city's bill for that Item
$1,244.03 less than the amount appro
priated. This represents a balance that
can he used for other purposes and the
councllmen of both branches have been
making nil kinds of assaults upon it.
WAY IT CAME UP.
Tho matter came formally before
council last night, when an ordinance
was called on third reading providing
for hiring another permanent man for
the Crystal Engine company, the
money to pay his salary to be trans
ferred from this balance In the elec
tric light fund.
When this ordinance was called Mr.
Keller relinquished theohalr to F. W.
Zlzlemnn and going upon the lloor of
tho council, entered a protest against
the passage of any measure to take
money from the balance hi question.
"I am sorry," said Mr. Keller, "that
I must speak against this particular
measure. The Crystals probably need
this additional permanent man nnd I
have no desire to hamper that or any
other company in the department. I
have too deep nn Interest In the wel
fare of the city to do that. My action
is based entirely upon what I believe
to be the greatest need of the hour,
the transaction of city business In a
business-like way. We go along
thoughtlessly piling up bills that we
are unable to pay nnd I say to you,
members of council, that it Is time we
stopped, for every year we are getting
deeper Into financial difficulties.
"I have gone to the trouble of seek
ing some Information during the week
and find that in select council thirteen
measures have been Introduced appro
priating $6,393, which Is to be taken
from this electric light fund. In this
branch of tho council the number of
measures Introduced to date Is twelve
and the amount required to make them
operative Is $0,754, making n total of
$13,147 to be paid out of a balance of
$1,211.95. What's tho use of that kind
of legislation, anyway?
UNPAID DILLS.
"I went to tho city controller's office
and found that he has $S,75S.03 there In
tho form of Judgments and bills ap
proved by councils that the city Is
making no effort to pay. The judg
ments are drawing Interest at the rate
of six per cent, per annum. Tho only
thing for us to do Is to stop short and
transfer this balance from the electric
light fund to tho Judgment and Inci
dental fund nnd enable the city to pay
off some of the claims that now await
liquidation In the controller's office.
"The kind of legislation proposed by
all of these measures is careless, al
most reckless, and we ought not to be
a party to It. Let us kill all of tho
measures In our own branch and hang
ud those that come from the select.
It Is time we came to a stop. Whore
Is the man who tries to pay his debts
who will do business In this way? We
may need more electric lights. I need
three In my ward, but we need to pre
serve the credit of the city worse than
we need electric lights.
"It Is not my purpose to obstruct
legislation, but I am firmly convinced
we ought not appropriate another dol
lar until tho cltv's outstanding; debts
are wiped out."
When '-Mr. Keller had concluded, E.
J. Coleman, the father of tho Crystal
ordinance, made a plea to save It from
death. He said all of the other fire
companies of the central city, save the
Crystals, have three permanent men
and that It Is almost absolutely nece
sary to have another man at that
house. He called attention to the fact
that Insurnnco rates are likely to be
raised because of Insufficient fire pro
tection and strongly urged that an ex
ception bo mado In favor of this ordi
nance. Councllmen Grler nnd Calpln
also spoke In favor of tho ordinance.
It passed by the following vote:
VOTE ON THE MEASURE.
Ycas-M. V. Morris, Grler. Godshnll,
Calpln, Ruane, Zlzelnian, Nugell, Phillips,
Wenzel, Watklns, Coleman, T. F. Morris,
Smith, Cuslck.
Nays Tewkesbury, Keller.
A few minutes later tho discussion
about present methods of doing busi
ness was resumed, when tho ordinance
transferring money from the fund for
the repair of the Franklin engine to
tho repair of the Franklin engine house
came up.
Explanations were asked and it wa3
shown that one year ago $400 was ap
propriated for the repair of the Frank
lin engine, that being tho amount an
expert estlmatod U would then, cost to
repair It. For some reason that no one
was ablo to explain, tho engine was not
repaired and now It Is almost beyond
help. It will cost $1,200 to get It In any
kind of shape for service and the mem
bers of tho fire department committee
believe It the part of wisdom to got a
new engine. It Is therefore desired to
use the $400 to make changes on th?
engine house.
Mr. ZUlcman, chairman of the Joint
fire department committee, was freely
Interrogated about tho condition of the
apparatus of the department and said
the General Phlnney engine Is In tho
same condition ns the Franklin. A year
ago It could have been made service
able for 5400. Now It Is almost useless
and It will cost $1,600 to get It Into any
kind of shape for service. Even after
expending that amount of money on it
there Is no guarantee that It can be
depended upon.
THE CRYSTAL STEAMER.
The Crystal steamer Is undergoing
repairs at the Cliff works. It was
stored In an unhealed building behind
the city hall last winter, tho water In
the Hues froze, then the flues burst, nnd
It will cost the city more than $4f0 to
mnke the repairs now In progress.
The hose rots because thero Is no
proper way of drying It, nnd the hose
wagons are falling apart because re
pairs are not made ns soon as they be
come necessary.
Mr. Zlzlcman gave It as his opinion
that a good deal of the city's appar
atus Is In such a deplorable condition
because the men employed by the city
to care for the engines nnd wagons are
In some Instances Incompetent and
careless.
Mr. Keller said It Is evident there Is
gross carelessness In the care of the
city property. If engines nre allowed
to get out of order and Btay out of
order, and If wagons fall apart through
Inattention, and hose rots because It
Is not properly dried, It Is someone's
fault and that someone ought to be
made to answer.
It was decided to postpone action on
the ordinance until the next meeting,
but the excitement was not allowed to
die out Just then.
While the fire department wim under
fire, James J. Grler, of the Tl n 1 ward,
wunted to say a word. Last vprll the
fire department committee bought $1.
700 worth of horses from Frank Cobb,
nnd two of tho horses went to the
Cumberland Hose company. One of
them has since developed a number of
ailments and Mr. Grler wants the fire
department committee to make Cobb
furnish a sound animal for the dis
eased one. He made a motion to that
effect and It passed.
Mr. Zlzleman explained that when
the horses were purchased they were
examined by the veterinary surgeon of
the department and he pronounced
them sound. Since then one of the
horses assigned to the Cumberland
company has become blind and devel
oped the fact that he is wind-broken,
spavined, a crlbber and has the heaves.
Mr. Cobb will be asked to do what Is
right by the city, Mr. Zizleman said.
PROF. CONANT INJURED.

Professor J. W. Connnt met with a
somewhat serious accident Wednesday

It was decided not to receive outside
patients hereafter, nnd to devote the
entire institution to Its original pur
pose, the care of the sick or injured
employes of the Delawnre, Lackawan
na and Western Railroad company
and the Lackawanna Iron and Steel
company. The custom of admitting
as free patients members of the Im
mediate families of employes was In
corporated into a rule.
The proportion of paid patients at
present Is nbout one-half, but tho
capacity of the institution Is not over
taxed at that. The hospital was
thrown, open to the general public
about two years ago by order of the
board of directors when It was seen
that the patients for whom It was or
iginally Intended did not commence
to fill It.

idea of enlarging tho usefulness of tho
hospital and making the most of Its
founder's niagnlflclent chnrlty. There
was no consideration of money-mak
ing when this step was taken as the
original endowment of Moses Taylor
with the additional bequests of his
