COUNCIL REFUSES TO
RAISE MAYOR'S SALARY
Ordinance Introduced fit Lnst Night's
Meeting- of Lower Branch Hardly
Saw the Light of Day Only Two
Votes in Its Favor, Kennedy, the
Father of the Measure, and Loftus.
Talk About Exonerations Other
Business.
An effort whs made In common coun
cil last night to mid to the ofllce of
mayor something that It has lacked for
years, namely, remuneration In keeping;
with the. dignity and honor; but the
effort failed. Them was an ordinance
introduced raisins the salary of mayor
from 5300 to $700 per annum, but In the
language of "Chuck" Connors, It was
"properly trimmed." The couneilmen
would hear nothing of such ti move at
this time, and the ordinance was hastily
rejected. The rejection was quite un
ceremonious, only two votes being- re
corded in its favor, that of Mr. Ken
nedy, who introduced the measure, and
that of air. Loftus.
The ordinance was dealt such a fell
blow, not because it was considered
without merit, but because It was con
sidered inopportune. In other words, it
was believed to be bud judgment, or
rather not good policy, to make any
change in the salary after the nomina
tion of officers and when there was an
election pending for this otllce. The
time for such a change, a desirable and
proper change, tbe majority of council
was of the opinion was some time be
fore a. nomination or between elections,
to take effect after the next election ot
maror.
The ordinance, which was Introduced
by Mr. Kennedy, was as follows:
An ordinance fixing- the salary or the
mayor of the city of Carbondale.
Section 1 He it ordained by the se
lect and common councils of-the city of
Carbondale. and It is hereby ordained
Ji.v the authority of the same, thai the
oalary of the mayor of the said city
Miall hereafter bo seven hundred dol
lars jier annum.
Section 2 All ordinances or parts of
ordinance herewith or with any part
hereof are hereby repealed.
On motion of Air. Loflus.slt was given
to the Judiciary and legislation 'com
mittee with instructions to ipport
forthwith. .Mr. Kvans and W. II. Mas
ters were the members of the commit
tee present. It took them only a min
ute to formulate a report, which was
unfavorable. When the report was pre
sented. Mr. Kennedy arose and made
an earnest talk in support of the meas
ure. He said that perhaps the mem
bers of the committee had good reasons
for reporting unfavorably, but in his
Judgment the .salary of the mayor of
Carbondale should reach the same level
of the ofllce. At present this was not
true. Twenty-live dollars per month
was a poor inducement to a good man
to accept such an ofllce. in Justice to
himself he could not go Into the ofllce
and discharge its duties In the manner
called for. By so doing It would bo a
disadvantage to his other Interests and
n loss to him. It was a sort of a joke
among the eltlj-.en.s or other towns, the
valary that the mayor of Carbondale
ecelved. The salary of other mayors
hi towns smaller than Carbondale was
nrger. notably Plttston, where the
chief executive was paid one thousand
Inline potaumui).
Mr. Stone could not concur In Mr.
Kennedy's judgment thut the mayor's
.alary was inadequate. Good council,
inon were paramount In the Ufo of n
city, hut they, the luw-mnkers, received
no .salary,
W. II, Masters, one of the committee
reporting the ordinance adversely, con
ceded that the salary of the mayor was
too low, but ho questioned the policy ot
making tlio change to raising it at'thls
time. Though no other members ox-
pressed themselves, it can bo said that
this belief was shared by them. "When
tho question was put there was n
chorus of tiyes to adopt the report to
give the ordinance Its llnlsh, while only
the voice of Mr. Kennedy and of Mr.
Loftus was heard among Urn nays.
Mr, Musters called attention to Hie
complaints of citizens against tho fast

.his own Judgment that the. trolley ours
exceeded the speed limit of tho ordi

Council took no action, an the matter
rests with tho mayor and the chief of
police.
A resolution was passed; nt the In
stance of Mr. Thompson, directing- Fire
Chief AIcNulty (o make what repairs
are needed on fire hydrants about the
city.
There was ti good deal of talk about
the list of exonerations handed In by
City Treasurer Connor. It was the
opinion of some of the eouncllmen
that there were persons anions those
exonerated who were able to pay the
tuxes from which they were recom
mended to be relieved. After quite u
discussion, the exonerations were given
to the committee on treasurers' ac
counts, with instructions to confer
with the city treasurer and report nt
tho next meeting.
An amended resolution adopted in
select council last June was adopted.
It allows ,'ino feet of hose to the Co
lumbia and the same, number to the
Mitchell lioo company.

UTLEY AT HOSPITAL.
His Eeet Were Badly Frozen Ton
Days Ago Other New Hospital
Cases.
William irtley, who is a farm owner
at Clifford, but who resides with his
mother on Belmont street, this city,
was taken to Emergency hospital for
treatment yesterday.
lHley is the young man whose feet
were so badly frozen while on his way
to his farm In Clifford on January 15.
The surgeons at the hospital say that
all of the toes of the right foot will
be amputated and then is some fear
that he will loose' one or more of the
cither foot. This will be determined
in an examination to be made today.
Utley had a narrow escape from being
frozen to death. He was mot near the
Finch hill church by Marlon Pierce,
who assisted him to James Chine's
place near the Lee racing park. Pierce's
timely appearance probably preserved
Utley from being lost. The patient
was on his way to his farm when he
succumbed to the cold.

NO MORE FAST CARS.
. k
Tho Sovnnton Railway Company
Makes Some Promises,
The Tribune has been assured thut
there will be no more fast running of
trolley cars through the streets of
Ciirllondnle.
This assurance comes fro 111 olllchils
of tho Scranton Hallway company,
who are vested with such authority
that weight can bo attached to this as
sertion, tt was claimed by these same
oitlclals that the cars had boon run
ning tit no higher rate of speed than be
fore the strike, but this, however, Is a
matter of argument in which the roll
way people are In ti minority. How
ever, It Is hoped that the discussion or
ventilating that this question has been
given will result In the, exorcise of
greater Judgment and care on tho part
of the motormen who have shown a
disposition to put on extra speed and
shoot through tho streets. Klght miles
an hour Is the speed limit fixed by or
dinance of councils and this should be
observed, the wishes or whims of the
motormen to the contrary, notwith
standing, Frankie Company Makes a Hit.

mon was by llov. Charles K. Fessen

ate to the epiphany season, lie unfold
ed the themo of the manifestation of
Christ to the Gentiles in a most Inter
esting manlier. lie told about tho
Voinlng of tho wise nit-ii from the east
and the various traditions that cluster
around the event, together with the
speculations of philosophers; as to
whether the star of Rethlehem was a
natural phenomenon or a miraculous
luminary created for tho event, As the
preacher proceeded, ho elaborated the
Idea that religion and tuienco are not
nt variance and that some of the great
est minds have accented the miracu
lous birth of Christ as a fact. Tho ser

effort was highly complimented,"
