BOTH VETOES
s SUSTAINED
sent to select council by
hecordeb connell.
Did Not Approve of Council's Action
in Directing Dr. Allen to Return
to City Treasurer the Fund for
Burrying Dead Animals and
Thought tho Deficiency Resolution
Should Have Boon an Ordinance.
Lively Dobate Over Lackawanna
Avenue Sower Othor Business.
Hecorder W. L. Council sent two
vetoes to the select council last night,
and both of them wore sustained. In
each Instance the veto was directed
against a resolution.
Councils passed a resolution direct
ing Dr. W. n. Allen, the superintend
ent of the bureau of health, to pay back
Into the city treasurer the sum of $10,
which was drawn for the purpose of
hnvlng nn hand a fund for the paying
for tho burial of dead animals.
This lesolutlon did not find fnvor
with the recoider. He said tht while
ho thoroughly appreciated anh com
mended the attitude of councils In
seeking to -vheik any action which
might nt some ftitute time bo taken as
a precedent. Justifying tho practice of
making advance payments out of the
city ttetiMir, he believed that In this
particular Instant e nn examination
would convince them of the Justice nnd
necessity of this fund. Ho then went
orr to say that heretofore It has been
necessary for various city oillclals' to
advance the money necessary to bury
theso animals, and he thought this was
not Just. He explained that the money
was properly safeguarded.
Councilman Vaughan nnd Merilmnn
thought the resolution should pass,
notwithstanding the veto, for the rea
son that It would be establishing a dan
geious pieccdent nnd that at all events
tho city treasuter was the only person
authorized to disburse money for the
city. They conceded the convenience of
the nnangement to the burcnu of
health, but believed the lesults that
would eventually follow would be bad.
Coutullmen Cosgrove and Melvin
thought the ariangement was a very
advantageous one all niotind and that
council ought to suppott the icioider
In the attitude he took. A 1 oil-call
showed that the veto was sustained by
the following vote:
eis Recau. Vlilouej, Mcrilimn, Oliver,
VaiiKhati. ( hittenden 0.
Nats Roj, I'irin, ( ostello, l.sans Mnrcan,
Mihin, S hnelder, Shea, Losrioio, "chroeder,
demons, O'Royle, O'Malle), McAndrew 14.
TUB OTHER VLTO.
The other veto was of the lesolu
tlon directing that all deficiencies for
the last fiscal year b'i charged against
tho corresponding Items for the pres
ent llscal year. In his veto, the re
coider takes the position that changes
cannot be made In the appropriation
ordinance save by otdiuairce and sug
gests that an otrilnnnce be passed au
thorizing the city contioller to trans
fer from tho balances shown to exist
by his statement, such amount. as
may be neco.s-saty to wipe out these
dellclencles. Ho considered that a
more business-like method of dispos
ing of the matter than to wipe out de
llclencles in items of last year at the
imminent ilsk of creatlngnewdcflclen
oles In the same appropriations for
this year. The passage of the sng
geste I otdlnanco would also operate
without embarrassing the dopaitmentH
which Imv made arrangement! for
the expenditure of the moneys pio
vlded for In the piesent appropria
tion oidlnance.
Accompanying the veto was the fol
lowing statement trom the city con

These deiU'Iencies do not Include
those provided for in the general ap
ptopilation ordinance. The Recorders
veto was sustained without a dissent
ing vote.
There n quite a splilteri fight over
the passage on third reading of tho
ordinance for the reconstruction of the
First dlstilct main sewer In Lacka
wanna avenue from the "Y" to the
rlv er.
MR. CHITTKNDRN'S SL'GGKSTIO.V.
Chalt man Chittenden relinquished
tlio chair and said that by connect
ing the basins of the Lickawannd av
enue with the Tenth district main
sewer which runs close to them the
water of the dlsttict above the Inter
section of Lackawanna and Jefferson
avenue which now flows Into the Lack
awanna avenue sower would be divert
cd Into the Tenth district which can
easily caie for It, the Lackawanna nv
enue sever would bo greatly relieved
nnd the proposed reconstruction would
be unnecessary. The change suggested
by Mr Chittenden would cost less than
$300 he said The reconstruction pro
posed will cost $12,000.
Mr. Merrlninn endorsed Mr. Chitten
den's plan nnd Mr. Melvin argued vig
orously against It. Chairman Chitten
den had called Mr. demons to the
chair during the argument and though
the latter ruled that It would be Im
proper to pass It for the reason that
the plans were not attached to It
council passed the ordinance by tho
following vote:
ea Ross, Mernman, Cosiroie, Oilier, Clem
ens, Vaughan, (hittenden 7.
Nan -Finn. Coitelln, Ksans, Mnrsran, Ileum,
Maloney, Melun, Schneider Shea, bchrocder,
O'RojIe, O'Malle), McAndiew U.
Other ordinances that passed on
third reading were:
Providing for the construction of a
sewer system, section "D" In the
Sevetitenth district in tho Nineteenth
ward; providing for the assessment of
the costs and expenses of said sewers,
icgulatlng tho manner of collecting
assessments and appiopr luting funds
to pay for same.
Pi escribing 1 tiles for tho govern
ment of tho sinking fund commission
ers of the city of Scranton and tho
duty of tho city treasuter In con
ncctlort therewith.
Providing for a lateral sewer on
Prospect avenue from Alder to Wil
low utrcets.
The exoneration lists of the follow
ing delinquent tax collectors were ap
proved: Thomas CSIIgallon, Js'lnth
waul, 1S9S. $358.45; T. W. Davis,
Twenty-first ward, 1S97, $H1.39.
ORDINANCES INTRODUCED.
The following ordinances were Intro
duced: Providing for lajing flagstone
sidewalks on a number of streets in
the Flint ward; for construction of two
sewer basins In the Fourteenth ward,
at West Linden nnd Chestnut afreets
and West Linden street and North
Main nvenue; for the construction of
an extension of the retaining wall on
Robinson street; nmendlng file of com
mon council No. 1, 1001, providing for
the levy and collection of a license tax
In the tlty of Scranton, by ptovidlng
that the licenses shall be obtained fiom
the department of nubile safety In
stead of from the treasurer; authoriz
ing the city tieasurer to place dupli
cates of delinquent city taxes In the
hands of assistant collector nnd ic
qulilng such to. Rive n Judgment bond
to the city of Scranton, nnd.llxlng the
compensation of the collectors nt ten
per cent, of the amount actually col
lected and pnld Into city treasury,
A resolution Introduced by Mr. Evans,
of the Fourth vvnrd, provides for re
leasing to David Williams a strip of
land ten feet wide nnd seventy-eight
feet In depth, owned by the city, being
tho westerly portion of nn alley ex
tending west from Bromley avenue, be
tween Jnckson nnd Lafayette streets,
previous to the opening of Price street.
It was lefened to a committee for con
sideration. A lesolutlon was passed granting per
mission to William Puhl to connect his
Alder stieet property with the Lnvelle
court sewer, providing this shall not be
construed ns releasing the property
from nny sewer assessment for which
It Is or may become assessed.
WON'T GET A
FRANCHISE
Rapid Transit Ordinance Is
Killed in Select
Council.
Select c ounell last night gave a death
blow to the oidlnance granting a fran
chise to the Rapid Transit Street Rail
way company. After the ordinance was
killed, council proceeded to bury It, that
It may not be lesunected this year
Towards the close of last night's ad
Journey session of select. Councilman
Schneldci. of the Eleventh ward, called
the oiriinntue up on third reading. This
was done for the purpose of ending Its
enreer by defeating its passage. Coun
cilman Vaughan, of the Nineteenth
w.ttd, who has been a champion of the
ordinance ever since It was lnttoritieed,
moved that action on the ordinance be
postponed, but the time for Its death
had in lived and council would not stay
its hand.
Councilman demons, of the Seven
teenth, took the floor nnd characterized
the action council wns about to take as
cowardly.
"This oidlnance has been called up."
he said, "by men vv ho are opposed to It
nnd who will vote against it. I don't
think that's right. If you want to kill
It, why don't j,ou do It decently and In
the open. Call It up and Indefinitely
postpone nctlon, If you want to, but
don't go nbout It In the way you ate
doing now.
"If you don't want two stieet l.tll
ways, say so. I want to see street lall
way opposition, and I don't cute who
knows It, We ought to have better
street car service In this city, nnd I
don't believe we'll get It until there Is
opposition."
MERRIMAN'S OPPOSITION.
E. L. Mcrrlman, the member from the
Thirteenth, said he could not consist
ently voto for the ordinance, because It
contemplates using Wyoming avenue,
and his constituents aie opposed to
that. If the ordinance was suitably
amended It would have his support.
Mr. Clemons moved to lay the oidl
nance on the table, but his pioposltlon
was defeated by a vote of 1 to 12, the
niembeis voting no follows:
eas- I.i.iii', Merrirnan, (Vnsroic, Oliter,
(.'Union. Oiiiislf, Vaiitlun, ("hittenden S.
Nais-Rosii. linn, loletlo, Morsan, Kenan,
Vldlonei, Melun, Schneider. Shea, fechrocder,
O' Mallei, Vlt Vndrew li
Mr. demons then moved to go into
a committee of t he whole to nmeo 1
the ordinance, but the members also
voted down that proposition. Mr,
Schnleder's motion to pass the 01 di
nner on third nnd tlnnl leading was
then put nnd tho ordinance failed of
passage by the following vote:
Veas i:ian, C'o-sroie, Oluer, Clemons,
Vaushan 5.
Nais-Itoss, linn, Cot(llo, Moigan, Kenan,
Vialoney, Melvin Minoidei, Miei, Vlerriimn,
Schrocdei, Oiloylc, O'Mallei, McAndiew, Chit
tenden 13.
Mr. Chittenden explained that he
voted against the ordinance because
he Is opposed to giving away valuable
ftanciilses. If this franchise was to
1 tin for twenty-five Instead of forty
years, he viould vote for It.
REFUSED TO RECONSIDER.
Later In tho meeting, Councilman
McAndiew, of tlio Twenty-fU.st ward,
moved that council reconsider Its no
tion irr defeating the ordinance. Mi
Malnnoy, of tho Seventh, seconded the
motion. By a vote of seven yeas and
eleven nays, council refused to iccon
slder its action. It will not be pos.s
ble to revive the ordinance this year.
Mr. Clemons characterized this mo
tion as the refinement of cruelty.
