ALLEGED INVALID LIENS.
West Lackawanna Avenue Property
Holders Oppose Them.
Testimony is being taken by Miss
Mattle Thomas in City Solicitor Vos
burg's ofllce In the caso of the West
Lackawanna avenue paving lien cases.
M. Vosburg represents the city and
Attorney Thomas P. Duffy uppears for
the property holders.
The defendant property owners, eight
In number, are opposing tho liens on
the ground that they were not filed
within the prescribed time and theio
foro are Invalid.
The law requires that they shall he
filed within six months from the date
of making the final assessment. The
liens wero filed June 1, 1896. The as
sessment was certified to the city treas
urer Dee. 4, 1893. This would make the
liens three days late. The city, how
ever, contends that December 4 repre
sents the date when the city engineer
began filing the final assessment and
that it was not until December 7 that
he completed the work. This being
true, the liens would be valid, as the
law reads "six months from the com
pletion of the final assessment."

to matter of condition of tho Sunutoii

the National Hoard of Fire Underwriters,
beg to report as follows:
Your committee waited upon his honor
Muyor Molr, on tho 8th Inst, by appoint
ment, tho chief of tho llro department,
Mr. Walker, being present, and presented
thu following communication:
Scranton, Pa., Sept. 8, 1S99.
lion. James Molr,
Mayor, City of Scranton, Pa.
Sir: Tho undersigned aro a commlttea
leprcscntlng the Firo Insurance Under
writers of the City of Scranton, Pa. Wo
have been Instructed to watt upon you
with reference to u communication re
ceived fiom tho insuiauce companies do
ing business in our city, calling attention
to what they term the alarming condition
of tho fire protection system ot our city.
Their nttcntion has been called to this
matter by tho report of an oxpert general
inspector for all tho Insurance companies
doing business In the United Slates, hav
ing his headtiuartcrs In New York city.
This expert has mado two exhaustive
Inspections of the lire department, and
the wholo fire protection system ot our
city; one 011 tho 19th of April, 1593, nnd
tho other on the 31st of July. 1S99. His
last report Is to the effect that tho whole
system Is In a very unsatisfactory con
dition, and embodies a summary of rec
ommendations as necetsary to put tho
bystcm in good condition, which we hand
you forthwith.
REQUEST TO CONFER.
Wo aro retiuestcd to confer with your
honor, and with the chief of tho firo de
partment, and ascertain what has been
done, or Is being dono to remedy tho
defects of the system as therein set
lorth.
Whilst the Interest of the underwriting
companies In this subject may bo said
to be purely one of rutes of Insurance,
to be readjusted from time to time, ac
cording to tho hazard Involved, there has
nevertheless Leon an almost universal
expression ot great surprise and regret
that so enterprising and progressive a
city as Scranton has proven herself to
be, should, In this most vital matter of
protection against fire, have suffered her
self to diop so far to tho rear.
The underwriters of our city, represent
ed by this committee, have not only tho
business Interests we lepresent, in com
mon with all other citizens and property
owners, but a deslro to prevent If possi
ble tho Ineiease of Insuranco rates, which
tho increased h.irard involved in the pres
ent condition of tho llro protection sys.
to as leported might demand.
Very lespocttully yours,
(Signed by Committee.)
Ills henui nnd tho chief lecelvcd us very
cordial!' and entered Into a full discus
sion or tho subject. Wo found them fully
ullvo to tho needs of tho department unJ
most earnestly engaged, so far as possi
ble, In remedying defects.
After somo discussion, his honor agreed
to reply In wilting to tho communication
from the committee, which ho did and his
letter Is herewith submitted. This snoultl
bo read In connection with tho summary
of tecominendatloni of the National
boatd. which was handed to the mayor
as part of our communication.

IMPROVEMENTS SINCE.
It should be botno In mind that the io
port of the national board was mado July
Klst, over two months ago. The mayoi.
chief of lire department and councils wcro
then actively engaged In remedying th
defects of tho department. Since then
2.B0O feet of hose have been purchased
nnd l,5(io feet of additional hoio aro on
hand will give a total of 10.000 feet, nnd
every engine and hose company a reason
nlile supply of good serviceable hose.
The steamrts which were then out of or
der have since been thoroughly repaired
and put In first class condition. The hoo
tower, which has been erected In tho
central part of the city has a capacity
of drying 2,000 feet. "Otheis will be erect
ed In the near future.
Whilst the city docs not own Its firo
alarm system, your committee would
stale that It Is operated by tho Central
Pennsylvania Telephone and Supply com
pany, under contract, with a reasonable
derreo of efficiency; we bellevn that there
Is llttlo cnuse for complaint of that ser
vice. Your committee beliovo that a paid fire
department is an absolute necessity, and
are pleased io state that tho city is
gradually working townrds that end. It
has at present 32 paid men and 10 partial
ly paid or call men, together with a
good corps of volunteers. Wc beliovo the
paid system to bo a probability of tho
near future.
Our water supply Is ample, no city in
tho world Is better provided. Tho chief
advises your committee that ho has ar
rangements made with the Scranton Gas
and Wnter company, whereby tho press
ure of water may lie Increased at any
point desired, Immediately upon notice.
In conclusion, your commltteo believe,
after a careful Investigation of tho sub
ject, that the (Ire department with the
Improvements made and those In pro
gress, will be efllelent and afford fire pro
tection equal to that of any city of like
slzo having a partially paid fire depart
ment. Respectfully submitted,
