SCRANTON COMPANY
GOT THE CONTRACT
OPPOSITION HAD NOT SECURED
A CHARTER.
The Contract Is for Ten Years and
the Price Is Twenty Cents Per
Night Bid of the Electric City
Company Was for Eighteen Cents
a Night Considerable Debate
Over the Awarding of the Con
tractMayor Moir Again Reported
for Not Paying Police Pines.
Select council last night awarded to
the Scranton Electric Light and Heat
company tho contract for lighting the
city streets for a period of ten years at
twenty cents per light. The Electric
City Light, Heat and Power company's
bid of eighteen cents a light was
Ignored because the company is not
chartered. It threatens to ask for an
injunction to prevent the contract from
being executed.
When Mr. Melvln, chairman of tho
light und water committee, presented
a resolution awarding" the contract to
the Scranton Electric Light and Heat
company, Mr. Kearney moved its adop
tion, but before the motion could be
put, Mr. James, with Mr. Chittenden
as second, moved as an amendment
that tho resolution be laid on the table.
The amendment was lost by tho follow
ing vote:
Ayes Messrs. Finn, Ros, James, Chit
tenden, Lansing 3.
Nays Messrs. Kearney, Thomas,
Roche, Melvln, Wagner, Schneider, Shea,
Sanderson, McCunn, Fellows, Schroeder,
O' Boyle. Frable, Coyne, McAndrew, Will
iams 10.
Mr. Sanderson then moved to refer
the matter to the city solicitor to see
if It Is legal to award a contract of this
kind by resolution. In his opinion nn
ordinance is necessary.
BY RESOLUTION ALWAYS.
Mr. Wagner thought it strange that
this point should be raised, in view of
the fact that councils have always
awarded contracts by resolution. Mr.
Sanderson contended that this was
only done when the work was provided
for by ordinance and provision made in
the ordinance for awarding the con
tract by resolution. To this Mr. Wag
ner replied that the matter of securing
electric lights for the city by contract
was provided, for by ordinance fifteen
years ago, and the resolution awarding
the contract Is predicated on that ordi
nance, nil of which, he claimed, met
Mr. Sanderson's objection. Mr. San
derson didn't think so and gave It as
his opinion that tho contract if award
ed by resolution wouldn't bo worth a
snap.
Mr. Lansing thought there could be
no harm In getting an opinion -on tho
matter and, as there was no occasion
for hurrying, ho favored referring It to
tho solicitor, that councils should know
Just where it stood.
Mr. Melvln volunteered the Informa
tion that the resolution "had been sub
mitted to ex-Judge Willard and he pro
nounced it effective.
"Well," broko In Mr. Chittenden,
"that may all be, but I would like to
ask the chairman of that committee
why it did not recommend awarding
the contract to the lower bidder?"
"Because," answered Mr. Melvln, "the
lower bidder was not chartered and w
cannot award the contract to an un
chartered organization."
MR. CHITTENDEN'S POIW.
Mr. Chittenden called attention to the
fact that at present the city Is getting
a 2,000 candle-power light for twenty
cents and that the new contract which
tliu committee favors provides for a
1,000 candle-power light for tho same
figure, and then asked Mr. Melvln to
explain how his committee could rec
ommend a contract that is dearer than
the present one by four cents per light
per night, when quality and price are
considered together.
Mr. Melvln's reply was a query to
Mr. Chittenden: "Do you think you
are getting a 2,000 candle-power light
now?"
Mr. Chittenden said he knew nothing
about It except that the city is now
paying twenty cents a light for 2,000
candle-power. If the city is not get
ting -2,000 candle-power light now, he
would like to know what assurance
there was that under the new contract
it would receive a 1,600 candle-power
light. To his way of thinking the reso
lution simply allowed the high bidder
to make a new contract at the old
price for a poorer quality of llght.whieh
would bo equivalent to giving It per
mission to reduce Its expenses twenty
live per cent.
Mr. Roche and Mr. Wagner explained
that tho new contract in more exacting
than tho old, requiring the successful
bidder to furnish apparatus that will
test tho lights and prove at any and
all times that the full power Is bring
delivered, and also providing that
when a lamp is extinguished for any
part of a night It Is to bo canrlJored
out of service for that whole night and
ro on.
MOTION WAS LOST.
The motion to refer to the city solici
tor was lost by a voto of S ayes to 13
nays, as follows:
Ayes Messrs. Finn, Ross, James, Chit
tenden, Lansing, Schneider, Sanderson,
MeCann-S.
Nays Messrs. Kearney, Thomas,
Roche, Melvln, Wasnir. Shea, Fellows,
Schroeder. O'Royle, Frable, Coyne, Mc
Andrew, Williams 13.
Tlu motion to adopt the resolution
awarding the contract to iho W. W.
Scranton company wau carried by the
folluwlng vote:
Ayes Mcssis. Kearney, Thomas,
Roche, Melvln, Wagner, Schneider, Shea,
MrCann, Fellows, Schroeder. O'Uoylc,
Frable, Coyne, McAndrew, Williams Z.
Nays Messrs. Finn, Ross, James, Chit
tenden, Sanderson, Lansing fl.
Mr. Sanderson explained that ho was
not prepared to say he would voto
ngdlnst awarding the ronliact to tlu
Scranton company If the resolution
purporting to award tlrn contract was
legal. He folt there, was same strength
In this company's claims. However,
ho would have to decllno to stultify
himself by voting for a resolution
which he considered Invalid. Mr.
Lansing expressed similar sentiments
in eNplulnIng his vote.
To set at rest all fears of a mistake
being made Mr. Roche had a motion
passed directing the city solicitor to re
train from executing the contract If
be deemed It Illegal to award It by
resolution.
The appropriation ordinance was in
troduced by Chnlrman Chittenden of
tho estimates committee, favorably re
ported upon nnd passed on two read
ings as reported from committee. Mr
O'Boyle tried to have 1300 transferred
from various Items to enlarge his ward
appropriation to $n00, but was dofentpd.
This was tho only attempt made to
amend tlu ordinance. An ndjourned
meeting will be held next Thursday
night to pass It on third reading.
LTS1C REMOVED.
Mayor Moir communicated the dis
missal of Permanent Man John Llsk,
of tho Phlnney Englrc company, and
the appointment of Joseph H. Sowurd
as his succesor. Hoth actions wen
approved. Mr. McCann wanted to have
n voto on LIk's removal, but Messrs.
Sanderson and Chittenden contended
that counsel hnd no authority over dis
missals In the fire department and the
contention was siistnlned by tho chair.
Messrs. Finn nnd Roche opposed Im
mediate consideration of tho Seward
nppolnttncnt, but voted with tho oth
ers to confirm.
Chief Robllng sent In n lettf.r tellltut
that he had used a llttto over $200 of
the tiJO In police llr.es wlflch ho hid on
han'l last month. Tho money wns us-jd
to bilng Robert and Morel from Can
ada, lie usked to have his action ap
proved. Ho hnd no money In the de
tective fund to meet the emergency
and took It upon hlms.Mf to usV this
portion of the fines, with the under
standing that the county will reim
burse the city In du time. Counsel
gave the desired approvul,
Following this ciin-.' n letter from
City Controller Howell reporting that
up lo- the close of business February
2S, no police fines bad been turned over
by Mayor Moir for January or Febru
ary. Tho letter nlso contained extract
from the law showlnj: how It Is thu
duty of th mayor to turn over thcsi
fines monthly, nnd of the controller to
report him lo council If ho failed lo
do so. A note was added stating that
nil other heads of departments bad
fully complied with tho law.
SOUGHT TO EXCUSE.
Mr. Chittenden sought to excuse the
mayor by referring to Chief Robllng's
communication. Mr. Roche called at
tention to tho fact that tho chief hnd
used only a part of the fines und that
there was no reason why the balance
should not have been turned over to
the city.
City Solicitor Vosburg sent In a let
ter stating that he could settle the
damage claims of Mrs. Margaret Caf
frey nnd Mrs. Mary Dttrkln, of Phelps
street, for $300 each and he was author
ized to do so.
Among tho new measures Introduced
was a resolution by Mr. Roche calling
upoh the city controller to state an
nccount of how much the city might
have saved had the mayor obewd the
law requiring him to conduct all police
hearings, instead of farming them out
to aldermen In the outlying precli'cts.
Mr. Chittenden thought this was
"nagging" at the mayor and succeeded
In having It killed. Mr. Roche called
attention to the fact that the city had
Increased the mayor's salary and gone
to ths expense of procuring n patrol
wagon and team to effect this very
saving. Ho also referred In caustic
terms to Mr. Chittenden's severity In
everything pertaining to economy ex
cept In this one Instance.
The tax levy ordinance wn3 Intro
duced by Mr. Roche and referred for
printing. It provides for a levy of
twelve and seven-one-hundredth mills,
a decrease of one-one-hundredth of a
mill us compared with last year.
ID TAX RECEIPTS.
Mr. Fellows Introduced nn ordinance
to tax the Scranton Railway company's
gross tecelpts. Three per cent. Is to
be levied the first year; four per cent,
the next year and five per cent, every
year thereafter. Mr. Schroeder Intro
duced an ordinance calling for bids for
city printing. Mr. Finn offered an
amendment that none but union offices
need apply. All were refer) ed for
printing. Mr. Coyne Introduced a re
solution directing the city engineer tu
make a map and estimate of the c jsl
of the Eighteenth district seve, It
was adopted.
E. H. Jordan's request to be re
leased from the bond of Tax Collector
J. F. O'Connor was granted on motion
of Mr. Coyne.
The Meade avenue sewer ordinance
and tho ordinance for sidewalks and
curbs on Pine street, between Wash
ington and Wyoming avenues, passel
first and second readings.
Ordinances for sewering the exten-'
slon of Wyoming avenue; grading of
Taylor avenue, between Vine nnd Olive
streets, and for sewering Schultz court
and the territory adjoining, passed
third reading. The Eleventh ward
sewer ordinance was referred to Mr,
Schneider to secure options on the pri
vate property which It will occupy.
A motion by Mr. Ross to take from
the hands of the special committee the
matter of the Delaware and Hudson's
company's alleged encroachment on
Centre street was defeated. Mr. Mel
vln promised to have a report ready
for next meeting.

AROUSING INTEREST
IN HOME MISSIONS
LECTURE BY REV. JOHN DIXON,
OF PHILADELPHIA.
Spoke in First Presbyterian Church
Last Evening Told of the Great
Prosperity Soon to Ensue on tho
Pacific Coast as the Result of Ex
pansion nnd Pointed Out the Nec
essity of Sending Missionaries
There The Great and Crying
Needs of Puerto Rico and Cuba.
Rev. John Dixon, of Philadelphia,
assistant secretary of the board of
homo missions of tho Presbyterian
church of the United States, delivered
nn Interesting nnd timely lecture last
evening In tho lecture room of tho
First Presbyterian church on "Home
Missions," telling In a forceful manner
of the necessity for a resurrection of
the old-tlmo home missionary feeling
now that this country has entered upon
a new era, and giving reasons whv
this awakening should come.
The doctor said In beginning his re
marks that the question which tho
board was now face to face with was
whether It should stand still or make
an advance, nnd, If an advance, In
what direction, how fast and how far?
There will be no money left over at
the beginning of tho fiscal year on
Apill 1 and, as tho board has made
Its solemn promise to the general as
sembly to steer clear of "tho deep
twateis of debt," the proposition It Is
facing Is a serious one.
AFTER THE CIVIL WAR.
The doctor told of tho great wave of
homo missionary enthusiasm that
swept over the country shortly after
the Civil war and how this was due
to the fact that the eastern people be
gan to take a greater Interest In the
welfare of the western neighbors when
the great trans-continental railways
began to be constructed. "The time is
now ripe," said the doctor, "for Just
such another wave of spiritual enthusi
asm. "This country has now come to an
other period In Its history: to some it
appears a crisis. It may appear to
some a tar cry ftom the Spanish war
to home missions, but I think it can
be readily seen that it has brought to
the church a great responsibility,
which, if It Is wise, it will do Its ut
most to meet. This war has practical
ly revolutionized tho country three
ways, commercially, politically and re
ligiously." Dr. Dixon then described In detail
tho great commercial advantages ac
cruing to this country by the taking
of Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philip
pines, and In so describing revealed a
marvelously comprehensive and wide
grasp of affairs. "Whether It was
wise or foolish for tho United States
to take possession of the Philippines
Is not the question now," said the
doctor, .i'that Is an act now beyond
recall.
MUST MEET RESPONSIBILITY.
"It Is for us as a church to meet the
responsibility and to take our part In
the christianizing of the world. God
established His church that It might
be witnessed of all men and let us
each make our little effort to further
the coming of that time when Jesus
will again return to the world for which
he died."
The doctor explained the great and
stupendous boom that this opening up
of the Chinese and eastern trade will
produce In the west nnd said that It
was the duty of all Christians to see
that when the new towns are estab
lished the minister with the gospel Is
the first Inhabitant.
"Fifty years ago we made a great
blunder," said he, "by allowing the
miner to go to the great west without
his God. Today the most barren field
in nil this land for the missionary of
God Is Northern California. Prav God
that we shall not do this again. Shall
we allow this great Influx of people
that will soon ba rushing to tha Pacific
coast to go alone? Shall we alio;" the
children of the living God to sit silent
ly by?"
CONDITIONS IN PUERTO RICO.
Dr. DIxen then tola briefly of the
needs of Puerto Rico where there are
only three Presbyterian clergymen
working among 1,000,000 inhabitants,
whom he classed as "Ignorant. Im
moral and Irreligious." The Presby
terian church, he staled, had tut yet
sent a dollar to Cu'ia. "God is calling
ull the churches throughout this land, '
said he, in conclusion, "to HKe up ar,l
work up an Interest, 'ii the noma .nls
slonary work."
In the afternoon the doctor con
ferred with a number of tho clergymen
and elders of the church as to the best
means of action during th coming
year, nnd ho stated last cvjrlitg that
ho would carry away with him many
valuable suggestions made at thlj con
ference.
