SECOND-CLASS CITY. City Cleik Lavelle Believes It Is Not Advl&able to Go Into That Class at This Time. nARTIN T. LAVE1.LI:, Citj Cluk of .scmnton. IMlIm ot 'Hip Tilbwit Sir: I am most lieaitlly in favor of tho .suggestion mude to keep Scianton In tlm thlid class by amending the classification act to make the limit of population for tlilid-clas.s cities 123,000 instead of 100,000, as at piesent. I'm In tnvor of this plan because I don't think It possible for Hctanton, for ten yeais at least, to enter the same class as tho wealthy cities of Allegheny unci ritsbuig, especially the hitter, These cities ate not only wealthy but they aio old, Plttsbuig Inning been a city and quite u large one when Scrnn ton wah as yet known as Slocum Hol low. The older a city, the moie permanent Improvements It has got. Anybody will admit that. Go to Pittsburg and Alle gheny and you'll tlnd their stieots neaily all seweied and paved. Heie In Scianton wo'va only begun to sower and pave, Wo haven't got a thlid of the city's streets seweiecl yet. I tell you that tho pxpenso of sewer ing and paving thlb city in the mm ten years Is going to bo a eiy hlrf item of expense, far larger than many peophi Imagine. Them is nobody who has made a cuieful study of tho opeiatlon or the second-class city law in Plttsbuig and Allegheny who does not know that if It was applied to fei anion It would mean a ticniondous added expense eveiy jeur. What would be tho lesult If wo did enter tho second class We would either have to give up our hew ei lug and pav ing, and who Is them that believes we should do this, or put tho taxoayera under u burden of uuuecessailly heavy taxes? Unnecessarily heavy because there is no sensible teason why wo should go Into the second class If we can prevent it, and 1 think we can. Them are theorists who contend that we huvo been hampered too long by being in a class with the smull cities of the state, and that It has been impos- Rlble to pass any legislation favorable to tho latgc thlril-chies cities. I'd ilka to be told when any nttempt was made to put thiottgh nny tlili-d-class legisla tion fnvmnlit' lo Pcinntoii or any of tho ollirr lingo cltlrs. t don't know of any such atteinpl, I'm not coiitcndlhir that the piesent tlilid-cliiRs city law Is nil that could be deslipd for Hcuinton, but It's better than the second-class city taw. Why itipii't our local repiesenlatlvcs In the leglplatiiro told to go down to Ha 11 Is btiifftiiid hno (he taw amended so that It will lit our needs? Tlmt's what should be done, nnd the citizens of this city should see that one of thorn Intio duceH nn amendment which will keep Scranton In the thlid class. t don't agipo itt all with thoie who dilate upon the wotiilciful lienelltn which will nun iu to this elty If wo go Into the second class, We would rank with Plttsbuig, to be suie, but that's nierelv an empty honor, nothing 111010.

Tobey, chief clerk of Supeilntondent Loomls, or the coal department of the Dola wam, Lackawanna nnd Western rail road, Is a hunter of renown. When we sny that not ninny persons am nvvaio of the fact, all people outside of the Lackawanna station ale meant, tut In side the building's tour walls, Mr. Toboy's fame has long been established. When he lionchtilnntly leiinitkod on tho day befoio Thanksgiving that he would spend the national holiday In put suing festive game In Stisquehnnna, visions of venison (linnet s tloated be foio tho eyes of nil his friends, and a prominent member of the transpoita tlon olllee penetously ofleted to put at the Nhni oil's disposal an pxtin freight car or two to cany the victims of his plow ess, The mfiisal of the genial head cleik of the offer was considered at the time to be only another Instance of a "man trying to hide his light under u bushel." Filday motniiig Mr. Tobey was a little late In ui living at the station, and when he cntomd his office he found It thionged with heads of depaitments, chief cieiks anil even otllco boys, with eager, expectant looks on their faces for the promised game. Dut alas! dis appointment awaited them all, as Thanksgiving proved a Waterloo. Bal iiklava and (.lottysbuig combined, and not a single blpid or quadtupi'd was bagged by the spoilsman. -Mr. Tobey managed, however, to as suage the gilef of his venison-hungry colleagues, and still icinalns one of the most popular men in the "Lackawanna station. He was funnel ly one of the chief cieiks in tlie Etio station at Xevvuik, X. J., and came to this city with Super intendent Loomls. He has acquired hosts of ftiends heie by his constunt good humor and amiability, and is one of the leadinu spiiiis In the Oieeu Hidge camp of Model u Woodmen, where his peiseveiance and industiv hi get ting new inenibi'is has pained bint decide-; piomlnence.
