TO RE-CALL
THE CONTRACTS
SELECT COUNCIL DIRECTS RE
CORDER TO DO SO.
A Resolution Also Adopted Provid
ing for the Re-Advertising of Bids
for All tho Eire Apparatus Al
ready Purehasod Llconso Com
mitteo Recommend Dividing Li
cense Tax Ordinance List of Tax
able in Each Ward Received by
the Common Council,
Another snnrl In the tangle ancnt
tho recent awarding of the contracts
for fire apparatus was produced by
select council last night, when two
resolutions were passed directing the
recorder to recall the contracts already
signed nnd directing that new bids
bo advertised for.
These resolutions were offered by
Mr. demons, "by request," he said.
Tho llrst directs tho recorder to recall
the contracts and tn cancel them, nnd
also directs both him and Hie con
troller to refuse to sign any warrants
made payable to any of the companies
to whom the contracts were awarded.
Tho second resolution directs that
new bids for a steamer, a hook and
ladder truck and 1500 feet of hose bo
advertised for and that council shall
open the same and awnrd the con
tracts. Mr. demons said that this
last part of the resolution wns a
proviso Intended to take effect only
in case the "chaser" bill is not signed.
Mr. Melvln was the only member
who openly opposed the passage of the
resolutions. He said something about
the agent of the company which bid
the lowest on the steamer not ap
pearing before the board of city offi
cials which awarded the contracts, but
nobody paid much attention to what
he had to say.
PURCHASE OF STEAMER.
Mr. Oliver said that in the purchase
of the steamer alone the city had
been done out of $600. Mr. Melvln had
referred to Mr. Bauson, tho agent of
the company to whom the fire engine
ontract had been awarded, and Mr.
Oliver said it would be "a good thing
if tho city was rid of Bausch,"
whereat everybody smiled, as If mem
ories of the past were flooding in upon
them. The resolutions were notn
passed.
Tho license cnmmlittco, through
Chairman Cosgrove, reported the li
cense tax ordinance with the recom
mendation that it he split into two
ordinances, one including tlu part
providing for a tax upon the gross re
ceipts of corporations nnd the other
including the rest of the ordinance.
Several of the members of the com
mittee spoke in favor of appointing a
joint committee of councils to con
sider the license question on account
of tho fact that two measures, one
originating in each branch, are now
under consideration. There seemed to
be a general sentiment In favor of this
idea and a resolution Introduced later
in tho evening providing for the ap
pointment of such a committee was
passed unanimously. The following
resolutions were introduced and
adopted:
By Mr. Wagner Prohibiting tho exploding of
flic crackers or flicwoikn in Nay Aug park.
By Mr. Oliver Directing tho director of public
safety to fuini-h r.nmicilt with full information
legarding tho co.-t of maintaining tho lire alaim
system now in use.
By Mr. McAmhcw Directing the diteclor of
public worKi and lhc illiector of public safely
to take stcpi to liavu the inerry-go-rounds out
side of Nay Aug park removed and the gambling
alleged to bo prcalont near them suppressed.
Hy Mr. McAndrcw Diiccling the director o
public works tn icinicH the companies ownin;
pinpeity in Tripp p.uk tn connect the t-ewers
now bewcring portions of the piik.
DECLARED A Xt'lSAXCK.
One of these sewers has been empty
ing into a lot behind the old Tripp
homestead and got to ho such a nuis
ance that tho board of health yester
day notified all properly owners to
discontinue using the sower. If it can
be connected with tho other sower
which drains Into an old mine work
ing, tho difliculty will bo obviated.
Director Wormser sent in a com
munication regarding the telephones
in the several hnso houses, many nf
which must bo soon taken up. It was
referred to the llro department com
mittee. An attempt was made to secure the
passage on thrrd reading of tho or
dinance providing fnr a sewer on Rail
road avenue to relieve the Lackawan
na avenue sower, but action was In
definitely postponed.
COMMON COUNCIL.
Tho common council last night re
ceived from the board of nssossors a
list of tho taxables in each ward ac
cording to tho assessment recently
made. This Is to be used In computing
tho number of comman councilman in
tho enlarged council.
The list, which It is understood will
make no change in tho number of ad
ditional councilman already elected, Is
as follows: First ward, '.'091; Second,
1M17; Third. 7fi7; Fourth, 1:J0; Fifth,

several of the largo corporations was
passed on third and final reading and
was sent over to select but was not
acted upon by that body, The ordin
ance providing for the payment of a
judgment served ngalnst Fark Po

GOVERNOR IN THE CITY.
Stops Here Over Night on His Way
to Pike County on a
Fishing Trip.
Governor William A. Stone, accom
panied by his wife's brother, J. L.
Smith, of Philadelphia, and Deputy At
torney General Frederic W. Floltz,
stopped here over night on their way to
Blooming Grove, Pike county, for a few
days' fishing.
They arrived here at 0 o'clock and
took quarters at tho Jermyn. After
partaking of a lunch 'at Lohmann's,
the party retired, that they might make
an early morning start for the wild
wood. A Tribune reporter had a few min
utes' chat with the governor, but could
not induce him to discuss anything ex
cept fish.
When told of the contradictory re
ports prevalent here as to the signing
of the "chaser" to the Muehlbronner
act, the governor set the matter at rest
with the information that It had re
ceived the necessary executive ap
proval, and was now a law.
The anti-administration mass meet
ing In Philadelphia last night and' the
threatened third party movement In
Pennsylvania were broached for ex
pressions from tho governor, but he
excused himself from any discussion of
politics or affairs of state.
ALL WILL BE REAPPOINTED.

Night to Make No Changes.
Tho teachers' committee of the board
of control met last night In the munici

part of the meeting as chairman, stated
to a Tribune man that all of the teach
ers at present employed by the board
would, without exception, be re-appointed.

nite action on this until tomorrow af
