ATTOlt.NKYS HEARD.
The West End anil South Side or
dinances were missed on second rend
ing but when the North End ordlnnncp
was culled tin It was announced that
attorney's representing lit. Hov. Hlshop
M, J, Hoban, ltev. .1. A. O'Hellly, rector
ot St, Peter's cathedral, und tho In
ternational Correspondence schools de
sired to be heard. It was announced
that each attorney would be given live
minutes.
Attorney It. J. Botirke, representing
tito Disuop und tlie rector of tho cathe
dral, urged tho councils not to permit
the new company to run Its tracks out
Wyoming avenue. Tho cathedral prop
erty, St. Thomas' college and St. Ce
celia's ncademy represented $1,2.10,000
In value, he said, and such Interests
were deserving of mora than passing
consideration at the hands of councils.
He claimed that not only would tho
running of more cars out that
thoroughfaio bo of great disturbance
to the services In the cathedral and to
the study of the pupils In the two edu
cational Institutions mentioned but
that It would endanger tho life and
limbs of the thousands of men, women
and children attending these places.
Nearly 10.0CO people, he said, attended
the cathedral at various hours on Sun
day and the running of cars at live
minutes Intervals as contemplated by
the new company would bo a constant
source of danger and of peril. He also
pleaded to have Wyoming avenue
left free and open all tho way out for
a driveway.
Mr. Hottrko was followed by Attorney
T. P. Iloban, a brother of the bishop,
who spoke along similar lines, ,and urg
ed the same reasons tis did Mr. IJurke.
Attorney John P. Quinnun, represent
ing the International Correspondence
schools, made the same argument
against tho running of cars out 'Wyom
ing avenue which lie made before the
railway's committee. He told of the
tremendous business done by the
schools and of their impoitance as a
contributing factor to Seranton's Indus
trial development. He told of the an
noyance and discomfort which would
result from the 1 tinning of cars out
Wyoming avenue and urged the coun
cilmen to deal f.ilrlv with the Corres
pondence schools.
UEPMES Foil COMPANY".
Former Senator M. E. McDonald and
Attorney Joseph O'lhien replied to the
objections raised. Mr. O'Brien declared
that the objections offered were entire
ly imaginaiy. He admitted that there
wotilel be some lr.conxcnlciicc but said
that a certain amount of Inconvenience
must alwavs result when sttect lail
way lines site laid out.
"All the newspapers and all the peo
ple," he said, "favor the passage of
the new stieet railway lranchise ordin
ances. They don't all agree on the
smaller points but cm the general pro
position that the need of a competing
street railway system Is Imperative tho
opinion is unanimous. In the face of
this united sentiment, gentlemen, some
body has got to give way and some
body lias got to be Inconvenienced. It's
bound to icsult. Tho Col lery Engineer
company is not the only pebble on the
beach, by any manner of means and
thu sooner the gentlemen interested in
it realize this fact the better it will be
for them."
The North End ordinance was amend
ed and passed on first reading. Further
action on it was postponed until next
Thursday night when council again
meets.
The ordinance awarding a franchise
to the Consumers' Gas company was
called up and passed on first reading.
Tho amendments offered by the light
and water committee were r-ad and
adopted when the ordinance was
called up for second reading.
Those provided that the company
shall lurnlsh gas to the city hall and
the four police stations without charge
and that all streets and lanes shall be
placed In the same condition as when
dug up for tho purpose of layint,
mains.
EIGHTY CENT GAS.
Mr. Keller orfered an amendment
providing that the maximum pi Ice to
be charged for gas sliall be eighty
cents per thousand feet. This amend
ment provoked much opposition.
Mr. Hobathan declared it to he alto
gether wrong to place such a restrie-
: tlem upon tho company and he wa-j
' supported tn this position by Mr. Al-
worth, who thought the adoption of
' tho amendment would have the effect
ol scaling tho new company out of
business.
I Mr, Keller said that If the amend
ment was not ndopted, ho failed to sou
In what possible way tho city would
be benelltted and what return would
be had for the tearing up of thn
streets. If the new company started
in business, there would be such a
1 rivalry between It and the old com
pany, he argued, that tho price of gas
would bo cut so low tint a consolida
tion of both companies would bo an
inevitable result. Theie would then
be no competition and no advantage
iuciulng to tho tnxpayers,
Mr, Paine also championed tho eigh
ty cent prleo limit and declined that
gas could he made and sold nt a prollt
for much less thrfii tilts. Ho said that
tho gas company In San Francisco has
just entered Into a contract to furnish
gas for thirty-eight cents a thousnnd
for ten years. If that Is possible there
It Is certainly possible hero Jn Scran
ton, where fuel Is so much cheaper, ho
argued. Mr. Keller's amendment was
defeated by tho following vote:
