The congregation, ho said, had tho

WILL REMOVE ABUTMENT.
D., L. & W. Company to Tnko Awny
Carbon Street Obstruction.
Director nf Public Works Roche re
ceived a letter yesterday from Chief
Hnglneer McFurlan, nf tho Delaware,
Lackawniina nnd Western cnnipnliy,
announcing Hint tho stone abutment
nil Cnibon stioet, just west oi i-eiin
u venue, will bo removed hy the com
pany next spilng.
This nbiitineiit has long been n souico
of tintible and nnnoyance to the travel
ing public. It Is used to support n
brnndi tinck, known ns tho "Dlnmond
branch," which crosses tho stiect nt
this point. The company now proposes
to plan- steel girders fur tho track,
i mining ft mil one sldo of the stioet to
tho other, thus doing nvvny with the
necessity of a support.
Tho removal of this stone abutment
will only monn tho lemoval ot n pait
of tho obsttuctlons on Carbon sticot.
In addition to tho abutment and ad
joining It theto mo tin eo Iron columns
supporting tho Hacks used by tho
Scianton Coal company for handling
the coal taken from tho Pine Ilrnok
i olllory. The officials ot the coal com
pany have piomlscd on previous occa
sions to be guided lnigely by what the
Ddawuto, Liu kit wanna and Western
company does, nnd Dliector Rocbe be
lieves that they will now agiee to le
movo tho columns.
There weie, In past years, u number
of agitations started for the lemoval
of these obstiuctlons, but they nil
caino to naught, the councllmanlc com
mittees who waited nn the company
officials being met nlmost Invariably
with n polite refusal.
LENGTH OF THE TERM.
Some Question ns to the Term of the
Additional Councllmen ftom the
Even Numbered Wards.
Thoie lias boon a gio.it deal of dis
cussion among those intetested In
inutile Ipal matters for some time past
ns to wbethoi tho additional common
i nuiu Union doited In the even vvurds
last spring will servo only until ne.t
spilng, when coutu Union fiom the oven
numbered wards nio to be eloited for
u full toini of two ours.
A Tilbtine man asked a former city
sollc Itor for nn opinion on tho subjci t
V'Ktoidny', and was Informed that tho
additional omition couiidlmoii from
the oven numbeied wauls would scivo
for a full tot in of two rurs.
"Thoie inn bo no question about
that," said he, "and this talk about
them serving only until next sptlng Is
tho veriest bosh. Those men weio
elected lo 1111 places created hy tho now
second-class dty laws, under which
this dty came on Apill 1, and weio
not elected to till vacancies. If they
weio elected to 1111 acanties, then
would be some icason In saving that
they could scive only until next year,
but they weio not."
It is ovtiemely probable that City
Solicitor Watson will be called upon lu
Iho near fiittue to furnish a wilttcn
opinion on this subject.

APPEAL PROM
ASSESSMENT
IT HAS BEEN TAKEN BY THE L.
I. & S. COMPANY.
Before Judgo J. W. Carpenter Yes
terday the Company Produced Evi
dence with a View to Convincing
His Honor That tho Assessment on
Certain Plccos of Property Owned
by It Ought to Bo Reduced Mate
rially City Will Offer Rebutting
Testimony Today.
Judgo J. W. Carpenter In court room
No. 1! yesterday heard nn nppcal ot tho
Lackawanna Iron & Steel company
from the assessment of tho city and
tounty assessors: on ccitnln pioperty
In the Dlovonth nnd Seventeenth wards
of this city which the company con
tends Is too high. The contention Is
based hugely on the fact that shops,
mllM nnd furnaces have been practi
cally abandoned by the company nnd
nre being dismantled ns tapldly as pos
sible.
The properties on which the company
nsks that the assessment be reduced
follow: Sawmill anil offices, assess
ment $1,000, want It cut to $1,000;
blast furnace, $10"i,000 to $30,000; North
Steel mill, $150,000 to $.".0,000; old engine
houses, $19,200 to $12,000; mule barn
$.",300 to $1,000. Tho nssessinonl for city
nnd county purposes Is Identical ex
cept ns to the blast furnace nnd North
Steel mill. The former Is assessed for
$130,000 for county purposes nnd tho
latter for $200,000. A pattern shop li
nssessed nt $3,500 for tounty purposes,
which tho compnny nsks to have
stricken off entirely, alleging that tho
building was torn clown some time ago.
It is not nssessed for city purposes.
ATTORNKVS N T11D CASK.
At esterdny's hearing the compnny
was lopresented by Attorneys O'Urlen
& .Martin and the city nnd county by
City Solldtor Oeorgo M. Watson nnd
County Solicitor II. L. Taylor. All of
the ovldenii? on tho pnrt ot the com
pany was put In yesteiday nnd today
tho city will put on a number of real
estate men who will testify to the
aluo of the land nnd buildings which
tho company says are assessed far be
ond their value.
The Ilrst witness examined yester
day for the company was William F.
Kelsel, who has charge ot the land
mterets of the company. Ho went
over the disputed properties In groat
detail to ptove that the piescnt assess
ment Is far to high as all of the build
ings In question have been abandoned
so far as manufactuilng purposes are
