City The Dliector Thinks Thnt
the Careless Methods of Collecting
Sower Assessments Which Hnvo
Prevailed In the Past Aie Respon

'Tills It rri'tnlnly nstnnlsliliiK." said
Mi. Kiu'lie tn a Trihiiiip man. "1 hnrdly

lmllove that the Mnvor rnntiurtoi have

'he belief that they, too. mlRht get out
without paying anything.
rnxTisAi-Tons ki:pt waiting.
'The tcMtlt of tliN tr.ui "fiction has
)i"Pt, that sewer conti.utoi.s hae been
Uppt waiting for years for money Just
ly due them, and In many Instatu s
haw been fort ed to lose large sums.
My olllte Is continually bombauled
with complaints ftom contractois who
have beconit heat t-nnto and weaty of
doing woik tor the city
"Thcie are a number of ways in
wlili li this tonditlon of atfalis can be
iinprowil. One of these li.n been put
into lotee of bite. The present city

ftom the tet order's talilnet. It doing
tilt" lift m his pimer to use vxtin
oiillnaiy dlllgente in the tolectlon of
s?wcr assessments and this action on
his part may pioiluce results.
"In some cities when- the piopeity
mwici pay pan of the cost of t on
sti lifting sewers, the plan has been
adopted of collecting all. or nearly all
of the money, befoie entciing into a
contract. This is a. wry good method,
but it tals lime and a ileal of pre
llmtnaiy xviiik. Then again, the entlie
tost of roiiHtrilctln? sewer.-, can be
pild dliectly by the city from tais
levied dliectly upon the cltUeur. at
laige. This Is the method in use in
the very large mnjnili of th Impor
tant cities of this cotintrj, and I'm be.
clni'ins to believe that It's the only
1'inpi I ,i after all
"Rumembei that I'm not sayng pos
sitlely that the lack of bids is due tp
past caiele.svness on the part of the
i Ity In toilet ting sewer assessments.
That's only my Individual guess, but
I'm Inclined to think it's a conecl
one."

Trillins' National bank has grown and

was not (iintent to he merely n bankei.
He Is also a lawyer. Devoting his
spine tltnu to a mastery of the Intri
cacies of the law. he passed the exam
ining board In billllant style and was
admitted to the bar sonic time ago.
His knowledge of the law will ptove
of gieat advantage to him in the wotk
that will evolve upon him after Octo

duties with the trust company. Mr.
Phillips xx 118 bin 11 In West Scranton

descent. Ilu Is letognlzed as one of
North Stranton's leading businessmen,
having been engaged In the plumbing
business fur a nunVicr of ycats, and

unique hostelry ever planned and

Although only thiee stories high, It
contains over 2.100 rooms and can ac

INDUSTRIAL
AND LABOR
OROUND FOR INOERSOLL-SAR-OEANT
PLANT.
Captain Atherton Has a Plot in
Mind and Will Consult with the
Officers of tho Company About It
Today Fhe Which Has Been
Raging In the Jeisey Mine, at
Plymouth, Is Believed to Be Un
der Control.
Captain O. H, Atherton, secretin y of
the bon id or trade, will piobably leave
today for New York, and there plate
berore the nlUeer? or the lngersoll-Sar-geant
Drill company the local pioposat
for the establishing In this city of that
concern's plant.
As has been mentioned before In
these columns, the conipany Intends
tiansferrlng .Its present plant rrom
Haslon and Is now receiving bids rrom
cities all over tho country xvhlch ate
desliotis or securing this great Indus
try, which employs between 1,500 and
2(ind hands.
The one xtipttl'itlon upon which the
Ingersoll-Saigeapt people Insist It that
exery proposed site shall be of at least
100 acies Captain Atherton has- se
emed an option on 11 piece or land
xihleh he says fulfils the icqtilremcnls
In every way and, armed with this, he
will leave today for New York nnd
make a detei mined effotl to land the
plant.
He will also confer at the metiopollp
with otllclals of another large company,
vvho are desliotis of locating a factory
In this city. It will employ one thou
sand opeiatlves and, as tho officers of
the company look upon Scranton with
11 favoilng eye, It Is very likely that
wo will se-ctite this latter industry.
Jeisey Mine Fire.
The fire In the Jeisey mine or the
Delawaie. Lackawanna and Western
Coal company nt Plymouth, which has
been 1 aging ror several months, most
or which time it has been impossible
ror men to enter tho mine, Is now be
lieved to be under contiol. Today sev
eral or the tlghteis were able to make
their way some distance Into the vxoik
Ings and leport the outlook ror con
fining the lite to one series of xv 01 kings
its xery bright. A new method has
haved the mine
When the light seemed hopeless and
the men had been driven by the flames
to the .snrfai e. a series or hot air sharts
xveto sunk to laige bicasts. xvheie the
lite raged, ror the purpose or drawing
off tho lntene heat, smoke and the
pasts. Tlics-e shafts so relieved the
mine that the fighters are now gradu
ally nblc to make their way Inside and
expect, within a few days, to hnxe the
lite under conttol. While they do not
expect to be able to put It out, they
think they can confine it to a cettaln
area, untiil it eats itself out. Wilkes
