the members of the old board for tliu
nllcRod fshortnKCR In their accounts ns
found by the nudltorq, wns Riven over
to Attorney II. C. nutler, the board's
solicitor, for advice as. to what action
would be Justified to recover this wide
ly discussed Indebtedness of the old
members of this body. The matter
wns brought up by Mr. McCabe, who
expressed himself as belnrr In favor of
prosecuting the old board, even if It
wns necessary to spend as much
money as the alleged shortages
amounted to In order to bring about
the purpose aimed at.
Mr. McCabe has warm supporters In
Secretary AVIIllams and Mr. McMillan,
and while Chnlrmnn Thomas took no
part in the dehatc, it- is shrewdly sus
pected that he will assent and will
lend his nld to whatever proposition
Ihese three members will lay before
the board. This will give a majority
vote and If the agreement holds among
these four, the prosecution of the old
members may be expected, provided
they refuse to settle up the amounts
for which they have been found de
linquent by the auditors.
The course, however, which the
board will pursue will hinge on the
recommendations of Solicitor Tiutler,
to whom the matter was referred, and
to whom the bonds of the old mem
bers and all of the other papers which
are a part of the transaction were re
ferred for examination and advice.
What Mr. Tiutler will advise can onlv
be conjectured as his judgment will
not be learned until he submits his
report to the board at its next meeting.
The board, however, will he guided by
bis recommendations, as the motion at
the last meeting indicated such ac
tion. Another matter of interest in con
nection with the poor board Is the
bill which wns introduced into tho
senate a, few weeks ago by Senator
Vaughnn, of Scranton, which Axes the
fees of ofllce at throe dollars per dav,
not to exceed thirty-five days each
year. "Whether or not the meetings
of tho board are to be considered as
a day, the bill does not state, and this
question would possibly be raised by
the auditors who are to decide what a
day's work constitutes. However, the
maximum sum which the directors can
receive is one hundred nnd five dollars,
the eompansatlon for thirty-five days.
The fees of the auditors, which wero
heretofore left in the discretion of tho
court are also regulated by the bill.
They are three dollars per day, the
work of auditing the accounts not to
exceed twelve days. It was to pro
vide for tho auditors that the bill was
especially introduced.
Tho bill is as follows:
AN' ACT to rfKUlatc the comiicns.it ion of the

tentions but with a lack of means.

TO REBUILD OPERATING ROOM.
Hospital Directors Let Contract for
Important Improvement Will In
. crenso Facilities.
The directors of Emergency hospi
tal, at their meeting yesterday after
noon, awarded tho contract for an
'important Improvement tho 'enlarge
ment or rebuilding ot tho operating
room at the hospital.
The contract was let to A. E. Tif
fany, whose bid was for $873.60. Tho
other bidders nnd their estimates wero
as follows: Nolan & Collins. $S7G; A.
J. Uoole, $S90 J. F. Robinson, SOS'.;
Tho Improvements which the plans
comprehend, when completed, will give
Increased foellltlcs, and will material
ly lessen the disadvantages which have
often been mot with because of lack
of room, particularly when there was
a number cf surgeons present at nn
operation.
Aside from this, tho new operating
room will be as antiseptic In Its Mir-roundlng-3
.as it Is possible to secure.
This will bo accomplished by entirely
rebuilding the presant room nnd re
placing the wooden floor, which U
prone t'j:ollect nnd retnln dust, which
Is liable lo bo germ-laden, with a tlio
floor. About tho room, serving ns the
mop-board, will be tiling nbout six
Incites, or thereabouts, deep. This
will appreciably minimize possible
harm from dust.
Tho plans, which have boon prepared
by Architect It. l Rutherford, of
Scrnnton, call for an addition of ten
feet to tho present operating room,
which will almost double the capacity
of these quarters. Tho new operat
ing room will also have added to Its
equipment a sterilizer of tho most ap
proved type.
H Is the purpose of the directors,
when the opportunity is nt hand, to
erect a home for the nurses, which
will provide them with all the neces
sities and comforts and means of re
creation which their duties and mode
of life require, in order to maintain
themselves for tliclr aiduous work.
