MAKING SELECTIONS
Miss Griffin Will Go to Swarthmore,
Anderson to Lafayette, and
Lewis to Stroudsburg.
As soon as the results of The Trl
biineV Fducntlonal Contrst were an
nounced on Monday morning, the suc
cessful oontesnnts began to make their
selections from the list of rewnrds.
There weie three great sui prises for
those who have been watching the le
sults fiom day to day, the most re
markable of which was the avalanche
of points tinned In by Miss Wllhelmlnn
nrltlln on the closing day. She more
than doubled her score of Saturday
morning, making her victory nn abso
lute certainty Uat field Andeison. of
Carbondale, also surprised his friends
by passing Mejer Lewis, who had held
first place for three months; nnd the
thlid surprise was that Mr. Lewis did
not meet the expectations of those who
weie watching his apparent safe hold
at the top of the list. His ability to re
tain his position was n foiegone con
clusion, and the contest was supposed
to have 1 calved Into a struggle among
the others for second place.
It was not until Monday evening thnt
word was iecelved-by telephone from
Miss Orlflln ns to her choice, but there
was very little doubt as to whnt she
would select, ns the $1,000 scholarship
In Swarthmore college wns what she
had hoped to secure all along. Miss
C.rillin called at the office of The Til
hune ycsteiday afternoon nnd wns
given the following letter of Introduc
tion to Dr. W. W. Hlrdsall. president of
Swarthmoie college, entitling her to

declared to be tho proper one In each

Arrcssor Seiimans said last night to
a 'Jiihune man that If as much work
Is done every day ns wns done yester
day there would be no trouble In finish
ing the tough work of making the as
sessment by December 1, or one month
enilcr than the time limit fixed by
Uw.
"Wo made excellent progress yester
day." said he, "and will get through
with the First ward before the end
of the week. If we do not have any se
vcie weather we should be ready for
the hearing of appeals on January 1."
The assessors have decided to follow
the example of the Allegheny assessors
and will classify all compactly built-up
property ns first class, which pays full
rntrs.
"What will the assessors consider to
ba compactly built-up property?" Mr.
Seamans was asked by the Tribune
man.
"All business blocks nnd all residence
blocks which are thickly settled," was
the reply.
Mi'. Seamans explained at some lit
tle ltngth that tho main residential
street.- of the central city, North, West
and South Scranton and Gieen Uldg
wou'd be Included within the propel ty
classified ns flrst-elass.
Whete a street is only sparsely set
tled or, In other words, where there are
nurierous vacant lots between houses,
til's property upon it will be classified
as suburban or second class, which
lu'ys two-thirds lates.
' Wo expect that there will be n lot
of kicking," said Mr. rieamails, "but
we've decided that this is law and
we'i3 going to live up to it."
