PERMIT NOT GRANTED.
Mrs. Harriet Mott Cannot Connect
with the Sewer.
A plumber who desired to connect
the premises of Mrs. Harriet Mott
with the South Main avenue sower
called at the ofllco of Street Commis
sioner Thomas on Monday afternoon
for a permit. Ho was tola he couh1
not get one, as ho could not present
a certificate trom the city treasurer,
as required by law, showing that the
sewer assessment had been paid.
Mrs. Mott's attorney appeared a
short time afterwards and explained
to the street commissioner that a Joint
resolution had lately been passed by
councils exonerating his client from
paying the assessment. Tho street
commissioner then explained that this
resolution provided that she be ex
onerated only with tho consent, of the
city solicitor and that the latter had
not yet given his consent. Mrs. Mott's
attorney then decided to wait until
Mr. VosburK returned from Philadel
phia before pressing th case further.
It will be remembered that this
sewer' was constructed soma fourteen
years ago and that the original Hen
was outlawed. The claim was never
settled.

WHERE WILL THE
CUTTING BE DONE?
ESTIMATES COMMITTEE WILL
SOON BEGIN WORK.
They Are Confronted with the Ne
cessity of Lopping Over Fifty
Thousand Dollars Off of the Esti
mated Expenses of the City for
the Next Fiscal Year Depart
ments That Ale Asking for Big
Increases Over Last Yctr and
What Increases Are For.
The Joint estimates committee of
councils will soon begin tho woik of
lopping off $;6,SH.10 from the estimated
expenses of tho city for tho coming
llscal vear to make said estimate con
form with the estimated revenue which
Is placed by tho controller at $311,923.00.
In tho meantime It Is Intetestlng to
note the vailous Increases over last
year's appropriation asked by tho sev
eral heads of depattments and Just
what these Increases are asked for.
The largest Increase asked Is one a
little less than $20,000 for tho police de
partment. Last year's appropriation
was $34,6Sn, but Chief Robllng wnnU
$74,520 for next year. This Increase Is
explained when It Is taken Into con
sideration that tho salaries of the ten
extra patrolmen and tho three extra de
tectives which the chief and mayor
thinks necessary are Included. $3,000
Is also asked for a police signal system.
Provision Is also made for an extra
desk sergeant. An extra $300 Is nsked
for now steel cages for tho North
Scranton station.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Tho next largest Increase asked Is
for tho fire department. The appro
priation for tho past fiscal year for this
department was $13,011.30, but Chief
Walker wants $37,039.94, or nn Increase
of $11,025.5$, for the coming year. On)
of the lamest Items of Increase asked
by the chief Is $1,000 for a new hook
and ladder truck, which he savs the
city Is badly In need of. Fifteen
hundred dollats, which did not appear
in tho past year's appropriation, Is
nsked for the purchase of horses.
Three thousand dollars is asked for
the purchase of hose, where $1,500 was
appropriated last year. Two hundred
and fifty dollars extra Is nsked for tho
purchase of a water tower attachment
and In the estimate the clerk's salaiy
is raised from $390 to $600. The sal
aries of the additional permanent men
appointed during tho year, of course,
figure In the estimate, but as these
appointments were sanctioned by coun
cils they cannot go back on them.
Tho estimate of the city engineer's
department Is $22,S20 In excess of the
past year's appropriation, but this Is
partly explained by the one Item of
$17,320 for nsphalt repairs which tlu
city must pay yearly for ten years. One
extra rodman at $060 a year Is asked
for and another Item is $0,000 for paint
ing and repairing the bridges of the
city. Neither of tho two lo"tter appear
In last year's appropriation.
BOARD OF HEALTH.
The board of health asks more than
double what it received for tho past
year. In the estimate the salaries of
the various olllcers are increased as
follows: Health officer, from $S00 to
$1200; food Inspector, from $900 to $1200;
plumbing Inspector, from $1000 to $1200;
secretary, from $G00 to $800; an Increase
of $1,200 for the salary of crematory
employes Is asked, and an extra $900 is
also demanded for the salary of an
assistant sanitary engineer.
In the estimate of the park commis
sioners an increase of only $297 Is asked
for. This Is variously divided between
the three parks.
An Increase of $3,184 Is asked for the
general city department. Twenty
thousand dollars for Judgments and
Incidentals Is wanted where only S10,S00
was appropriated for the past year. To
balance this, however, only $41,330 Is
asked for whore $1S,774.93 was appro
priated last year.
An Increase of $1,301 for deficiencies
Is also asked but this appropriation
varies continually and Is always al
lowed. Tho board of revision and ap
peal want an Increase ot $1,990. Of this
$300 Is for new assessment maps and
$000 is for a deficiency from 1S99. The
board Itself wants $675 more for Us ser
vices. The city solicitor's department want
an Increase of $S00 over last ear's np
proprlatlon, $400 of this Is on Increase
In the salary of tho assistant solicitor
nnd the remainder Is for stcnogriMihtc
hire. Tho city treasurer's department
demands an increase of S230 only, divid
ed between tho several Items In rose
tho license tax ordinance becomes a
law, $1,600 Is wanted.
STREET COMMISSIONER. '
The street commissioner's estimate
Is $12,249.10 In excess of last year's ap
propriation, though tho total estimated
ward approptlatlon Is only a little over
$1,000 In excess of last year's. Mr.
Thomas asks for tho following Items,
which do not appear In last year's ap
propriation ordinance: Two thousand
one hundred and sixty dollars for throe
assistants; $624 for a machinist; $200 for
two dump wagons; $300 for paper re
ceptacles. There are increases varying
from a few hundred to $2,000 asked for
In the other vailous items of the es
timate. Tho estimates for tho public library,
mayors, city clerks and city controll
er's departments are almost Identical
with what was appropriated for last
year, varying only slightly.
Those of a speculative mind will no
doubt begin to llgure out Just what
Who Pays
for the Present?
But one answer; namely
tho individual who buys
the tea. Wo have been re
cently aaked to intro
duce this method, sell tea
worth 25c, for 50c. and
throw in a present, but wo
declined. We have excellent
tea blended nt 35c, fine Oo
lonfj tea at 40c, fine Japan
tea nt 50c, fine Ceylon tea
at 50c. At profits of 5 and
10c per pound how could we
give a present unless we
put its value on price of tea.
No other way. Buy our tea.
Buy your present and you
will make money.
E. Q. Coursen

Items will ho cut out or Into, but until
the estimates committee nets down to
work It will bo puro speculation.

WAGON AND HORSES MISSING.
Frank Rooney, a Green Run Farmer,
Notifies Police of Loss of Team.
Frank Rooney, a furmer of Green
Run, Roailng Brook township, entered
police headquarters last evening and
Informed Chief of PTMIco Frank Rob
llng that a horse and wagon belonging
to him were mining since Monday
afternoon, and in company with J. em
was gone William Arndt, his hired
man. Arndt had left Rooney's farm
with the team and a load ot produce
Monday morning, had disposed of the
load and then after having tin 'wigin
lilted with feed started for home. The
last seen of him was at Pell's black
smith shop, at tho corner of Plttston
avenue and Alder street, where ho had
the horses shod.
Since then ho has not been heard of
and Mr. Rooney, beginning to enter
tain suspicions yesterday, thought It
best to notify the police.
Arndt has only been with him a
short while, about three months or so,
nnd before that worked at Durvea,
Ablngton and other places In the vicini
ty. He Is 20 years of age, about 5 feet
8 inches In height nnd of a heavy
build. He has a very ruddy complex
ion and a heavy sandy moustache.
When last seen he wote a cap, black
coat, blue overalls and boots. Tho
vehicle was a heavy lumber wagon,
containing about a half ton of feed.
The team consisted of a bay horse and
a gray marc. Arndt Is known to occa
sionally drink a little 'too much and it
Is thought that ho might have gone
on a spree and tho horses been taken
from him and placed In some livery
stable nearby.
Chief Robllng called up several South
Scranton liveries by telephone, but was
unable to learn anything concerning
the missing wagon, team or man.

Claims of tho Anglican Church." He
traced the use of Anglicism beginning
with the Reformation, paying special

He told of the desire on the part ot
many English clergymen to return to
tho old church and disproved the valid

He further stated that tho alleged In
