SCRANTON. Thoy Are to Point Out to tho Gas nnd Wntor Company That tho Present Rntos to Largo Consumers Will Throttle tho City's Growth nnd That if Only for n Solfleh End, tho Compnny Should Mnke More Reasonable Rntos nnd Thoroby Encourngo City's Dovolopmont. Whether It was the luncheon an nounced to bo served nt the conclu sion of the business session or the knowledge that water rates were to be discussed that was responsible did not develop, but, be that as It may, last night's meeting of the board of trade was the most numerously nttended of the present year, not even excepting tho memorable paving meeting or tho night Cnptnln Dibble, with the aid of his new fangled students' grill, served a free duck sumier. It was a most representative gath ering, too, and fully capable, as events proved, to ably discuss both of the leading features of tho evening. The water rate question was present ed by Secretary Atherton In a resolu tion commending tho councils In Its proposed campaign for a cheapening of the water service to large consum ers nnd pledging the co-operation of the board of trade In furtheilng tho movement. The resolution read as fol lows: THE BOARD'S RESOLUTION. Scrnnton, lJa., Nov. 20, U99. To the Oillcers and Members of tho Scranton Hoard of Trade. Gentlemen: Some two years ago tho board of trade took up tho question of excessive water rates to the manufac turers In this city. At that time statis tics were compiled showing the rates in muny of the principal cities of the coun try. These statistics showed that rates In Scranton wero far In excess of those of other cities. At that tlmo a commltteo of the board of trade was appointed to wait upon Sir. Scranton, of the Scranton Gas and Water company, to, if possible, have the rates to manufacturers so adjusted, that tho Industrial growth of our city would not be retarded as was the case then, and Is now. Nothing, however, was accomplished, and we find ourselves today In practically a worse condition than wo were at that time, from the fact that In many of tho plnces whero a yearly rato was given, they have Blr.ce put on meters, which has Increased the rate three-fold. Tho tlmo has now come when It seems necessary to take s'trlngcnt measures In the direction of having these rates "re duced. The water rates In Scranton aro almost prohibitive to Its further develop ment along industrial lines. Instead of tho water company encouraging the In dustrial growth of the city, and- thereby Increasing Its revenue through domestic consumption, it has erected a barrier, that If continued, will completely stop the growth and development of the city. What Is desired Is a low uniform rato such as manufacturers In Cleveland. Erie, Philadelphia and Buffalo enjoy. We do not object to the meter system, but do object to the exorbitant rate charged per thousand gallons. Understanding that tho city councils nro about to tnko steps, which they hope will remedy tho evil above referred to, It Is believed that the Scranton board of trade, representing as it docs, tho Industrial and commercial side of tho question, should assist tho councils In every way to bring about tho desired end; therefore bo It Resolved, That tho Scranton board of trado recommends to councils tho pass age of such legislation, as In their judg ment wilt bo the means of the adjust ment of the water rates to large consum ers In tho city of Scranton; and be It further Resolved, That tho Scranton board of trado pledgor Itself to assist the councils by every honorablo means nt its com mand to bring about this most desired result. THE DISCUSSION OPENS. In opening tho discussion on ths resolution, Secretary Atherton mado the startling statement that If It was not that the manufactures committee had found sites containing Indepen dent water supplies tho city would have had to give up all prospects of having a tin plate plant, and, further, that a woolen mill which was to em ploy 1,500 hands wanted to locate here recently and was nil rendy to come when the owners learned of the water rates charged here nnd forthwith ceased negotiations. Secretary Atherton Bald he thought If the matter was presented to tho gas nnd water company In n proper light concessions could be secured. If It was shown to tho company that by discouraging tho growth of tho city it Is hurting Its own Interests It would grant a generous concession, If only from a Feltish motive. "Hns the matter ever been present ed to Sir. Scranton in that light?" In quired Colonel Boles. "Yes sir." answered the secretary, "a commltteo of the board waited up on him two years ago and argued with him along that line, as well as from various other standpoints." "And what did ho do about It?" in quired the colonel. "Handed the commltteo a rate carl." This abrupt description of the char acteristic action of tho gas nnd water company's president wns received with loud laughter and some hand-cHp-plng by the half hundred board of tradesmen, most of whom knew from personal experience that the agrts. slve Sir. Scranton says and does thing" without waste of words or effort and withal effectively. THE COSIPARATIVE RATES. A request was made for the statistics with which tho committee had armed Itself before going to consult Sir. Scranton, nnd Secretary Atherton quoted from his minutes, among other things, tho following comparisons of water rates In large cities; The different columns show a sliding scale bated on the amount consumed, the smallest rate, of course, being for the largest consumers. Where ono figure In given the rato Is uniform for all con burners.

H. Jessup snld thnt while courts havo a certnln supervlpory rower over tho wnter rntes. ho went on to my, little relief enn be expected from that nuar- J ter, for the law will not step In to prevent n wnter compnny from, mak ing n fnlr rate of Interest on It3 In vestment, nnd It Is quite possible tho company enn show that It Is not get ting more than a rciiionable return for tho capital Invested In Its plant. limited rowrcn or couiitr. In further pointing out the limited power of tho courts In this regard, he states thnt If complnlnts were made each would have to be treated separ ately. Tho courts could not reduce the water rates generally. If (in Indi vidual feels nggrloved nt his water rate ho can go Into court, nnd If he shows that the water company' charges are exhorbltnnt the com pany's divided profits being the crltcr- ! Ion the court may, In Its Judgment, revise his rate. To thun secure a gen eral revision of rates all over the city It would bo necessary for every rate payer one nftcr the other, to go Into court nnd repent this performance. Whether or not tho gas and wnter compnny's exclusive lights In Scrnnton had lapsed; whnt proportion of profit It divided on the capital Invented, nnd other Information necessary to nn In telligent dlscusflon of the question wns not nvnllable, Judge Jessup snld. because the books of tho company wcie not offered for public Inspection. "Possibly some of tho stockholders here, sententloutly remarked tho judge, might bo able to enlighten us on the number nnd nmount of dividend pnld." This provoked another burst of laughter. Concluding In n serious vein, Judgo Jessup said he did not believe any court would reduce the wnter rtes when the books of the company were Investigated, hnlng In mind the fact that for years tho company ha been placing nearly nil Its surplus In Im provements. Colonel Holes corroborated this with the stntement that his wlfo held n few Minres of gas nnd water company stock nnd It never pnld over 4 per cent. "Do they ever pay stockholders divi dends?" Judge Jessup Inquired In sur prised tones, nt which there wns more merriment. COL. BOIES' EXPERIENCE. Colonel Boles told of nn experience ho hnd with the water comnnnv when he was establishing tho wheel works, lie had an annual rate nt first nnd wns well satisfied, but after a short tlmo the company put In a meter nnd from that tlmo on the wnter nt the wheel works cost more than the fuel. Every conceivable system of economy was practiced, but the meter showed up the same measurements. Tho colonel kicked. Ho says that much himself. What followed the kick was not revealed In detnll by the col onel, but that the meeting between himself nnd the president of the wnter company was something In the nnturs of a collision was Intimated by the col onel later In last night's meeting de clining to servo on a committee to wait upon Mr. Scranton. "He dlsqunllfiol himself." Judge Jessup remarked. Colonel Boles, however, wns fully Im pressed with the belief that If a com mltteo waited upon Sir. Scrnnton nnd presented tho case as tho board of trndo viewed It. the visit would not be a fruitless ono. "I move," he went on to say. "that a committee of three from which I shall be religiously ex cludedbe appointed to confer with Sir. Scranton relative to tho cheapen ing of water rates and to Investigate and report upon tho legal aspects of the water question." Ex-Judge Hai'd arose to speak on the motion. The water rate on his Commonwealth building wns J1S0 n year. A meter was recently put In, nnd calculations based on the showing so far Indicate that the meter will rnlsa his water charge to J8R0 per annum. He nt onco set out tn economize. Some $500 worth of Improvements were pro jected about the building to enforce economy and as each one was com pleted tho water rate, prospectively, diminished. But It ivno nu- -,,,.., Ively, for as the meter showed a de- ' crease In the amount of water con- , sumed, tho judge found his building gradually but surely approaching th "small consumer" scale, and now he Is wondering whether It Is cheaper to pay twenty cents n tnousnnd en 011s fnr 10,000 gallons of water or ten cents a thousand gallons for 20.000 gallons. The Judge figures It out that he has spent $300 to save water for the company. WILL BORE FOR WATER. He also Informed the board that Sir. Stears had sunk an artesian well under the Slears building and was securing n plentiful supply for nil except drink ing purposes. He, himself, contem plated boring. He had the water ex amined and discovered that It Is only slightly tainted with sulphur and per fectly safe to use In the boilers Judge Hand was not altogether sat isfied that n committee could Induce sir scrnnton to feel that he Is charg. ing toe mum ror tne wnter, tnking tho compnny's Investment ns n basis of calculntlnn. Ho wns not nronnrod tn sny whnt tho city could do in the premises, but knew full well thnt a proposition to buv tho plnnt would not be favorably received by Mr. Scran ton. "I went to him once with a prop osltlon of that kind." ald tho ludge, "nnd he turned on me with, 'Are you ngnlnst me, too? " Nevertheless. Judg?

Tho stereoptlcnn nrrnngements wero so perfected ns to lenve no room for complaint, nnd the pictures shown wero specially adapt able to tho screen, where the luminos ity nnd ntmosnhere of certain woik were most ndmlrnbly counterfeited.

Tho mnrvelnus contrast In tho prices received by the grent nrtlst wns noted. In the fnct that "Tho Sowers" wns flnnlly sold for r0, 000, "The Olenners" for $80,000 nnd "The Angelus" for tho fabulous sum of $110, 000. FAMOUS PAINTINGS. Many reproductions wore shown, anions them "The Sowers." "The An gelus" nnd "The Sinn with the Hoe," when the lecturer mercifully refrained from quoting SInrkham's poem, nl though he referred to the fact that SI11 let painted this nt n tlrne when ho hnd rcnlly embraced socialistic Ideas and wns hnrshly nccused nf endeavoring to stir up revolutionary thought by means of the renllstn In the dull, sodden fnco of tho lennlng pensant.

Tho splendid "Sheep Shearing," ho snld, was practically duplicated In the copy owned by Colonel Chapman, of Brook lyn, N. Y. That so mnnv excellent Slillet's nre possessod In this country, nnd particularly In Boston, is largely duo to William Storrls Hunt, who prac tically "discovered" tho Barblzon nr tlst. In sponklng of "The Angelus," Prof, von Lner stated thnt this picture had been greatly over-estimated nnd could In no respct be consldeted tho nttist's best picture.
