I? I t 'j-n - m THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE- TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1901. 3 , I 3. Of licet BURKE BUILDING LIGHT CONTRACT TO GO TO COURT Steps Being Taken to Test the Legal ity of the Resolution Which Coun cils Passed Over Mnyor Kilprtt rick's Veto, Awarding Three-Year Contract to Lackawanna Valley Company An Injunction to Be Sought. The city lighting contract, which was lapsed about on tins troubled council manic sea for several months, did not Tpatdi u port oC safety, It seems, when .1 paused common council cm Monday night of last week, over the mayor's veto, for steps" have already been taken towards socking the court's opinion as to tlio legality of the resolution that awarded the contract. The. public Is well Informed of the earnest spirit and determined light that marked the passage of the contract resolutions through both brunches of councils, and, while this now phase of the tight, for It wlis truly one, will serve to stir up warm discussions anew, there Is no mistaking the regret that will bo felt generally that the in tervention of the court is found to be necessary. The hope seems to ho well founded that the Issue would be settled for all time at the late meeting of common council, but the indications now are that the city will have to de fend against an Injunction thai will probably ho asked of the court within a few clays. Opposition to the awarding of the contract for more than a year, or prob ably It would be more correct to say the niiinnor in which the resolution was passed, and this opposition will be manifested In the form of an injunc tion, most likely, asking the court to restrain ll;e mayor from signing the contract until the validity of the meas ure awarding the same be passed upon by the court. Citizens who have taken a close Interest in the proceedings are I 'ii to have sought the opinion of 'ranton attorney, who is regarded i.s an authority on municipal law, and have received the opinion that the resolution was not legal: in fact, was not the measure that should be em ployed, and that the awarding of the contract is consequently not valid or regular. Reliance, it is assured by those interested, can be placed on the statement that the intention to invoke the court Is more than a rumor, and that definite action will be immediately taken.

She says : " Doctors have a perfect craze for operations. The minuts there is any trouble, nothing but an operation will do them ; ona hundred dollars and costs, and included in the costs are pain, and agony, and often death. " I suffered for eight years with ovarian troubles ; spent hundreds of dollars for relief, until two doctors agreed that an operation was my only chance of life. My sister had been using LycliaE. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound for her troubles, and been cured, and she strongly urged me to let the doctors go and try the Com pound. I did so as a last resort ; used it faithfully with the Sana tive Wash for five months, and was rejoiced to find that my troubles were over and my health restored. If women would only try Lydia E.
