For a second time the local court de clares valid and commendable the ten- year contract between the City of Scranton and the Barber A'xphalt com pany, for repairing the asphalted streets. The equity suit of H. Camp- ; I bell and William Farrell, brought by Attorney C. Comegys, counsel for tho Alcatraz Pavlnpr company, attacking wWeh ,t W(lB pxcclltcdt was ycstcrUa.v UIU CUIUIUUl illlll W1L" UlUIIUIlItU UIlUl'l dismissed by Judge It, W. Arehbald, at the cost of the plaintiff, on the de murrer filed by City Solicitor A. A. Vosburg and ex-City Solicitor I. H. Burns, counsel for tho Barber com pany. The former case was that of K. Moses against the same parties, with the same attorneys as counsel In each case. Judge Ounster gave the decis ion. Tho charges of fraud in connection with the passage of the ordinance and execution of the contract, which Judge Arehbald characterizes as "very loose ly and indefinitely made," were px nresslv withdrawn at the time of the argument, and the onlv question left, which the court deemed worthy of dis cussion, was whether the councils had a right to make a contract for repairs of streets extending through a term of years. Against this right, Judge Arehbald goes on to say, It Is contended that municipalities arc required to pursue a "pay as you go" policy, annual reve nues belns collected and annual ap propriations made for annual needs. This, the court says, may, to an ex tent, be true, it certainly is not abso lute and unbending. Speaking of the argument that the contract In controversy Is for a munici pal duty specially excepted, out of those which are required by the stat ute to be performed by contract let to the lowest responsible bidder. Judge Arehbald says that the "ordinary re pairs of highways" are no doubt ex cepted, but tho repairs contemplated in this contract are not "ordinary," but on the contrary, "extraordinary." "It may be," the judge says, "that It would be to tho decided advantage of the city to equip Itself to do Its own repairs, but the mayor and councils who passed the ordinance authorizing the contract.apparently, thought other wise, and, over their judgment we have no control. Tho conditions, at least, were not ordinary, and they had a right to meet them as thev have, and, assuming that the city was not In shape to do its own repairing, the con tract extending over a term of years was tho only reasonable and economi cal way of fujtotlng the problem. "By it, the city, in consideration of a fixed annual expenditure extending through a term of years yet to come, was enabled to get the benefit of im mediate repairs, largely In excess of the amount at once payable; and the rate bargained for was likely to be materially less when the party who was to do the work had the cost ot the plant, which had to be maintained, spread over ten years. Instead of be ing concentrated upon one or two. These considerations and others, which might be referred to, entirely Justify and approve the contract as made. "They go to show that it was one which, on sound business principles, the city authorities were warranted in making, and that the work which It covered could not have been properly met by any 'hand to mouth' policy from year to year, such as Is sug gested. "All things considered, we are clear ly of opinion that no excess of author ity in entering into the contract Is shown, and that the plaintiffs, as tax payers, have no just cause of com plaint on account of It." RETURN JUDGES MEET TODAY. They Will Compute the Vote Cast at Saturday's Primaries. In the arbitration room ot the coutt house this ufternoon at 2 o'clock, there will be a meeting of the Republican return Judges of the Third legislative district, who will compute tho vote cast at Saturday's primaries. Up to last evening Secretary J. E. Watklns had received the unofllclal re turns from all but three of the voting precincts of the district, and they showed that James had received 18H votes and Mackey SS2, giving James a majority of 932.

PETITIONS FOR A NEW SCHOOL WERE READ AT MEETING OF BOARD OF CONTROL. People of First Word Are Not Agreed ns to Whero They Want the School Building Located Considerable Discussion Over the Appropriation of Money for tho Kindergartens. It Was Decided to Devoto $4,000 to That Branch of School Work. Tho Pay Roll Passed. A petition was read at last night's meeting of the board of control, signed by 208 ot tho voters of the First ward, requesting that a new school building bo erected at the Boulevard nnd Ilaine street, on tho lot recently purchased by the school board, and after much debate was refened to the building committee. Controller Shlrcs. of tho First ward, ardently championed the petition und referred to the fact that on Jan. 22 tills school was recommended by the building committee, but was voted down by the board. Remark's wore made on the subject by various mem bers of the board, who claimed that there was more need for now school buildings In many of the wards other than the First, Mr. Gibbons citing the Sixth ward and Mr. Francois tho over crowding of No. 25 school. G. E. West, a resident of the First ward, who was sitting in tho back of the room here arose nnd asked tho privilege of the ilnor, and it bplng granted, said; "I am ot the opinion that a good many people who signed that petition did not know what they were attach ing their names to, because they are also affixed to another petition which hns been handed in to tho secretary, and which is to exactly the opposite effect to that Just read.. Of the lot3 owned by the school board in the First ward, tho one picked upon is the least suitable. The close proximity of tho foul-smelling river breeds disease, there is a preclptous bank near by and tho general site Is dangerous nnd un sanitary." MOTION CARRIED. The motion which had been pre viously made to refer tho petition to the building committee, was put to the house and was carried, Mr. Shires casting the only dissenting vote. The second petition was then read. It brought out fully the objections to the site ot the proposed school, already stated by Mr. West. After the reading of It. Mr. Shires sprang to his feet and exclaimed: "I'd like to have the names signed to that petition read, so that we can see whether the people whose names are nfflxed live in the First ward or the Fifteenth." Mr. Francois immediately laughing ly retorted, "That's the reason that I would like to hear the names on the first petition. From what I have heard most of them live at the Notch." The petition was referred to the build ing committee. Another question which aroused considerable debate was the motion of Captain May, that an appropriation of $1,000 be asked by the finance com mittee for the maintenance of the same number of kindergartens for the coming year, as are at present main tained, to be under the board's super vision. Mr. Jennings objected to this appro priation as too large, saying that the results obtained fiom the kindergar tens were entirely too small as com pared with the funds expended. Mr. Frnns characterized the entire kinderg-'i'ten system as "an expensive luxury, and one which had now passed the experimental stage," and declared that the board was not warranted in such expenditures, in view of the largo burden ulready carried. KINDERGARTEN CHAMPIONS. Messrs. Leonard and Gibbons figured as the kindergarten chajnplons, and the latter In particular proved a warm advocate. In speaking on the subject he said; "I do not feel competent to set my own judgment against that of tho best educators in the country, all of whom aro In favor of the kindergartens. We oughtn't to be afraid or a few dollars. The tax-payers uren't kicking and are satisfied so long as we spend the money honestly," The question was then piit to the house and was carried by a vote of 13-3, the vote being as follows: Ayes O'Malley, Eynon, Golden, Roche, May, Schafer, Neuls, Jennings, sr-hrelfer, Langan, Schwass, Gibbons.

His Opponent, Patrick Dlowltt, Re ceived Only Three Votes Demo crats nnd Republicans to the Number of Thlrty-soven Declare That Mr. Phillips Has Done Well and Should Be Continued Coun cilman Morris Absent by Being Drawn as a Juror in Murder Trial. By an almost unanimous vote ot councils, in joint convention last night, City Engineer Joseph P. Phillips was reelected for another term of three years. , Patrick Blewltt, cx-mlne Inspector, and a former city engineer, was nom inated against him, but the vote would indicate that he had not made a. very vigorous, or, at all events, not a vety effective canvass. Mr. Phillips re ceived thirty-seven to Mr. Blewltt's three. The vote in each council was as follows: SKLKCT COUNCIL. Kor Phillips Messrs.

Morris, of the Second ward. The latter is on the Jury in the Luddon murder trial and while thf ,,-.,,,. ,.-.. ,i ., ... ,.!, i ., balloting was going on, was locked up In a Jury room In the court house. Mr. Philllos had been promised his vote, and when he learned of his hav- I Ing been drawn on the jury went to t, ' Attomovs O-Brlnn & K t see ,f th , way of securing his release long enough to allow him to cast his ballot. When tho lawyers saw that the Jurors were sworn singly as they were accepted, and further that a full Jury would be chosen before adjournment, they re gretfully informed their client that If Mr. Morris' vote was needed to elect him, he was as good as defeated. Mr, Phillips was disappointed, but as told above, ho managed to pull through nicely without the vote, of which the cause of tho commonwealth deprived him. The Joint convention waa presided over by President Grlfllths, of common council, his nomination by Selectman Oliver being unanimously approved. Mr. Phillips was placed In nomina tion by Mr. Oliver, with Mr. Keller ns seconder. Mr. Roche, with Mr. Ruane as his second, nominated his neighbor, Mr. Blewltt. At the end of the meeting, Mr. Phil lips entertained at the St. Charles In honor of his election. This will be Mr. Phillips' third term, and it is safe to say if councils con tinue as appreciative as theyhave been for the past six years, he will have as many more terms as he wants. City Engineer Phillips is generally admitted to be one of the most competent city officials Scranton has ever had, and no department of the city government is freer from cause for criticism than his hns been. obituary: Hairy It.
