BOARD OF TRADE
WILL NOT GIVE UP
Secretary Atherton Says That It Will
Direct the Preparation of a Com
plete New Second Class Act.
Sectetary V. M. Atherton, of the
board of trade, who was one of the
delegates from that body sent to Pitts
burg to confer regarding second class
city legislation, btated emphatically
to a Tribune man yesteiday that the
board had no Intention whatever of
abandoning the Idea and leaving It
entirely to the councllmanle commit
tee. "This committee," said he, "will di
rect Attorney James H. Toney, who
was oilglnally a member ot It, to pre
pare a general act governing cities of
the second class and this act will be
Introduced In the leglslatute. Let the
councllmanle committee lnttoduce Its
amendatoty act In one branch of the
legislature and we'll Introduce our act
In the other branch. The mote the bet
ter. If one net falls of passage the oth
er may get through. You can say that
we're not going to back out ot this
thing at all."
Select Councilman Chat lea I J. Chit
tenden, who is the chairman of the
councllmanle committee, stated yester
day to a Tribune man that the com
mittee would use oveiy effort possible
at tonlght'M meeting to dlssttudo tin;
members of the board of ttade com
mittee, who have been Invited to at
tend, fiom having any separate act
prepared and Intioduced In the loglsla
tuie. "Goodness knows," said he, "the situ
ation is complicated enough without
having this city go down to Hart Is
burg with two acts. Theie Is, to my
mind. Just about one chance In a thous
and for us to secure the paasace of
our few umendments without trying
to put thiough a whole act.
"Why, all 1 would favor would ln
to go down there with just that one
amendment giving the mayor power
to appoint the heads of the executive
departments. I'd Just us soon have the
other amendments dropped. Personal
ly, I don't think we'll be able to get
even that thtough. I am only lending
my assistance to this movement be
cause I believe It Is my duty to do so.
I don't think the people of this state
want good government, and I think It
will be along near the mlllenliim when
we get It."

management to provide the best pos
slhb meals at tho ino.st reasonable

cordance with thla idea.
WATER RATES
NOW FIXED
MAYOR MOXR SIGNED THE ORDI
NANCE YESTERDAY.
It Establishes a Uniform Price to Be
Paid for Water and is to Qo Into
Effect on April 1 Rates Fixed Are
About One-Half Those Now
Charged The Legality of the Or
dinance Will Undoubtedly Be Test
ed in the Courts and May Be Car
ried to United States Coutt.
The ordinance establishing fixed rates
to be charged for water on nnd nfttn
April 1 is now a law. Mayor Molr
signed it yesterday afternoon in the
presence of a Tribune man, Haying as
be did so: "Now we're ready for a fight
on this question."
There Is hurdly any question that
there will be a fight over the legality
of the oidlnance nnd that It will be
hotly contested. Lawyers say It will
be finished in the United States su
preme court.
The ordinance establishes water
rates which may be said to average
about one-half those which nre now
charged by the Seianton Gas and Wat
er company. That corporation refused
to giant the board of trade's request
to i educe Its meter rate to manufact
uieis and, as tho ordinance establishes
a meter rate almost as low as the one
requested by the board of trade, It is
to be expected that It will contest the
city's right to fix certain lates.
The oiUlnanco contains a penalty
clause piovidlng that "any person, firm
or corporation" violating Its provisions
shall be liable to a fine of $30 for each
and every offense, to be rccoveied In
an action of assumpsit befoie the may
or or any alderman In the city.
THK PROBABLI COUnSU.
On und after April 1 If the company
refuses to comply with the ptovislons
of the ordinance some cltbon will go
before the major or an alderman,
backed by the city's legal department,
and bring such nn action of assumpsit.
The company will then undoubtedly
appeal the case to the local courts nnd
if a decision unfa vol able to Its inter
ests Is rendered It may be expected to
take the case to the supieme court and
fiom that tribunal to the United
States supremo court. If necessary.
The city, Mayor Molr says, will cany
the matter aa far as the Supreme court
of the state, in case tho local court
ihould decide that a municipality has
not the right to establish uniform
water rates. The company could take
the case to the United States Supieme
court, because the foutteenth amend
ment of tho Fedeial constitution Is in
volved. This movides that no Mate .shall
make or enforce any laws -which shall
"deprive any person of life, liberty or
piopeity." it will be probably con
tended by the company, if the case
ever teaches the highest judicial tri
bunal In the country, that to fit by
law the price to be charged for a com
modity is to deprive In a. certain sense
the person selling that commodity of
their propel ty.
City Solicitor Vosburg and a number
of other leading lawyers of this city,
including ex-City Solicitor I. H. Burns,
hold that municipalities have a right
to rcgulato the price of commodities
dealt In by quasi-public corporations,
such as wuter companies, whose Inter
ests are so closely allied with the In
tel ests of the public at large. In his
opinion on the water question, sent to
councils over a, year ago, Mr. Vosburg
quoted a United States Supieme couit
decision which he believes settles clear
ly that cities can establish a certain
leasonable price to be charged for
water.
ORDINANCE RE-INTRODT'CKD.
The water ordinance, which was in
troduced In councils during the fiscal
year ot 1899-1900 by Councilman Mel
vln, was allowed to die a. peaceful
death, never being reported from com
mittee In common council. This year
the measure was ie-lntroduced, with
numerous changes, by Councilman
Costello, of the Third ward, who has
made a vigorous fight for Its passage.
The full text of the ordinance Just
signed by the major Is as follows:
.Vn ordinance lluiltiii the prli lo lie cluid

THE KATES DIFFER.
The piesent lates of the company
differ gieatly from the lates fixed by
the oidlnance. The price for a slnglo
family Is the same, but l'or each addi
tional family In a single houre It !s
6 Instead of 14, as In the ordlnanc
The price for bath tubs Is now t-i,
Instead of the tl.30 piovided In the
oidlnance, and the price for water
closets In pilvate houses Is now Si
each, Instead of $1.2i ns fixed by tho
ordinance. For lawn or hose connec
tions, ft! Is now chaiged. Instead ot
the late of Jl estiblMied by the or
dinance. The meter lates nt present charged
aie as follows: For dally aveiage of
10,000 gallons or Ies. 20 cents per
1,000; from 10,000 to 20,000 gallons, IT.
cents per 1,000: from 20,000 to 30,000
gallons, 10 cents per 1,000; from 30,000
to fiO.OOO gallons, S rents per 1,000; for
dally nvernge of .".0,000 or over, 6 cents
per 1.000.
The greatest "avlng In meter late,
If the new ordinance goes Into effect,
will be to the small consumer, such
as -the saloon keeper, hotel man und
met chant, who use less than 10,000
gallons per day. It will mean a sav
ing of just one-half. They now pay
twenty cents per 1,000, while the ordi
nance fllxes n late of 10 cent.
If the ordinance Is ever declared
legal and If the citj Irs placed In a
position wiiote it can enfoice Its pro
visions, the company can be expected
to continue Its meter system lionise.
In all such places ns those mentioned
above, lather than chnrge according
to the other fixed schedule. That
method would mean In the majority
of cases a i eduction of two-thirds.
The ordinance gives the company the
right to put In a meter wherever It
may deshe.
DEAD BODY OF AN
INFANT WAS FOUND
Had Been Deposited in an Ash Dump
Near the Power House of the
Scranton Railway Company.
Exposed to the drizzling lain, care
fully wrapped in a tiny night shirt
nnd cotton, the dead body of nn un
known infant was found yesterday ly
ing upon an ash dump near tho
Scranton Railway company's power
house, on Providence road.
While ovei hauling the heap for bot
tles, CJeoige Looker, of 743 Kiessler
couit; Oeorgo Hainba. also of 74?
Kreshler couit, Und Samuel Portar,
colored, dlscoveied n bundle, which
upon Investigation pioved to be the
body ot a newly-boin Infant. The
baby was tendoily picked up and
placed In a tin box. The police weio
notified and Detective Molr put on the
case.
There is no cine to the identity of
the poison who deposited tho baby.
The place wheie found is situated
In a field within a half block ot tho
power house.
How long the body lay there Is not
known to a certainty, but as there Is
no odor. It Is thought that It must
have been deposited yesterday morn
ing, , The men who discovered tho
child say that the smell of ether was
quite strong.
Coioner JtoueMis v. as nouiteu, out
has not yet conducted an autopsy, so
there aro no means ot ascertaining
whether the child was still born or
otherwise There nro no marks of vio
lence on the body.
' THE BICJGEST DAY YET.
Large Number of Children Vaccin
ated at Lackawnna Hospital.
Notwithstanding that the board ot
control Is about to extend tho time for
vaccinations to February 1, tho num
ber of applicants for vaccination at
the Lackawanna hospital yesterday
was the largest yet.
Ono hundred and fifty-seven children
were vaccinated.
WAS SIGNED
BY THE MAYOR
THE RESOLUTION CONCERNING
TRANSFERS IS A LAW.
Copy of the Measure Will Be Served
on the Officials of tho Company.
Some Dispute as to Whether or Not
the City Has the Right to Revoke a
Franchise with a Resolution A
Lawyer's Views on the Language
of the Resolution and the Purpose
to Be Achieved by It.
Mayor Molr yesteiday afternoon
signed the resolution giving the
Scranton Railway company ten days'
notice to Issue transfer tlcke, and
declaring a; forfcltute of all thcWtan
chlscs of the various street railway
companies meiged Into that corpoia
tlott. The resolution will be served upon
the company officials some time today.
The company' poltlon In sending
one of their attorneys before councils
on Thuisday night with the proposi
tion that Mr. Vaughrvn's tesolutloit be
teferied to a committee for the pur
pose of conferring regaidlng the
question, Is taken ns nn Indication of
their desire to back down gently, In
the face of tho great public sentiment
which has been nroused against the
obnoxious order.
The objection was made by seveial
of the councllmen during the progress
and after Thuisday night's meeting,
that tho city had no right to declaie
an Immediate forfeiture of the com
pany's franchises until the company
had violated some provision of them,
and that It had not done so. Inasmuch
as the transfer system his not yet
been abolished. Scvenl who opposed
the tesolutlon on Tlnuday night did
so on this giound.
A LAWYER'S VIEWS
A well-known lawyer stated v ester
day to a Tribune man that the only
proper Kind of n tesolutlon tu pass
was the resolution prepared, by Solici
tor Vosburg and introduced by Coun
cilman Vaughan. lie said that tho In
sertion of tho clause declaring an un
conditional fnrfeltuie of tho com
panv's franchises was nboluiey tie
cessar Councils alone, he said, had author
ity to forfeit n franchise, but the final
adjudication of such a quetlon was
always made by com t. In other
vvoids, th" foifelture of a franchise
by councils was not necessarily bind
ing upon the company. It was moiely
a ptellnilnary step which had to be
taken to make the question ripe for a
Judicial opinion.
If the company recalled the trans
fer order within the ten days given It
by councils, the forfeiture of the
franchise by councils would have no
effect, unless It was followed up by
more aggirsslvo notion and to so fol
low It up, the city would have to be
sine that It had icasonable ground for
action, which It, of course, .would not
havo If the trnnsfers wcie Issued.
MANNER or ni'.VOKlNCS.
Those who believe In transacting
councllimtnlc business uccoidlng to
the strict letter ot the livv, and In
such cases as this, where there Is n
.st lung possibility of the matter being
bi ought Into couit, such adherance to
the technicalities is neeessmj, con
tend that the franchises of ilio com
pany which weie gi anted by oidl
nance cannot be forfeited bv a iomi-
lutlon
They claim that a privilege- gi anted
by an oidlnance can be i evoked only
by .m oidlnance, nnd point to th
state leglstatuies and congiess, where
laws ine lepeoled by acts and not by
simple esolution. It is also con
tended that there should have been a
loll call on the resolution. Theie was
no roll call In either the select or the
common council and no reeoid appeals
on the minute books as lo the num
br of membeis who voted for eaeh
Fiio Boss Fortune Dead.
