FRANCHISE ORDINANCES.
Railways Committee of Select Agree
on Amendments.
At n meeting of lite railway com
tnltUi! of select council, held last night,
It wan decided to teport favorably to
night upon the ordinances awarding
franchises to the South 'Side nnd West
End Street Hallway companies, with
the Vpcommendatlnn that amendments
bo adopted providing for a graduated
tax on the gross receipts, running up
to five per cent, for 1018 nnd every year
thereafter nnd for a forty year time
limit for the franchises.
There were only three members ot
the committee present, and only two,
Messrs. (.'lemons and Itoss, voted In
favor of the forty year amendment, Mr.
rivntio voting In the negative. An ef
fort vnn made nt n previous meeting
lo have this nmendment Included In the
North End Street Hallway ordinance,
but it was unsuccessful,
The committee had nlreody acted
upon the latter ordinance, Including the
amendment providing for the tax on
the gioss receipts.
SOUTH MILL SHUT DOWN.
Last Rail Was Sent Through the
Rolls Yesterday 1400 Men Out
of Employment.
At the South mill yesterday morning
the last rail was rolled and later In
tliu day tlie woilc of dismantling the
mill began. The great majority of the
1.-I00 men employed there will bo
thrown out of employment. Superin
tendent fieorge Uarnard was present
and personally supervised the work of
1 mining the last heats of steel through
the mill. ,
The first heat of steel when the mill
was opened in 18S3 was blown by Mich
ael Swallow, and he was yesterday
given the honor of blowing the last
heat. Thomas Kearney, who straight
ened the first rail at the mill, Is still
employed there as a rail inspector, and
at the suggestion of Foreman M. J.
Connerton, lie took his place at the rail
straightener and straightened the last
in.ll.
One of the stralghteners at the mill
for a long tune has been ex-Patrolman
James 11. Coleman, who as a youth
learned the business under the watch
ful eye of Mr. Kearney. The skill of
the Scranton rail strighteners is con
ceded in rail mills all over the coun
try, and the product of the Scranton
mills is looked upon as comprising the
be? t, straightened rails that go on the
market.
Mr. Coleman and Matthew S.iyers
were pupils of whom Mr. Kearney was
particularly proud. They were con
cededly two of the most scientific in
the country. Mr. Coleman was the
creator of an idea by which the rail Is
strightened from one end, saving time
and labor, and which has come into
general use.
The average monthly pay roll of the
South mill was in the neighborhood of
570,000. A great many, of the men
thrown out of employment will be
given work at Buffalo, but it will be a
iong time before they will be ready for
them there, and In the meantime a
serious question confronts them.

FIGURES ARE
CONFLICTING
RECORDER RECEIVES MUNICI
PAL WATER STATISTICS.
They Show That Municipal Owner
ship Is Highly Successful In Some
Cities nnd Highly Unsuccessful in
Others Milwaukee, Wis., Clearod
320,000 in Profits LaBt Year,
While Rochester, N. Y. Had a Ee
licit of 30,000 to Make Up Com
parison of Water Hates.
Recorder Council some few weeks ago
sent out a number of letters to cities
ot population ranging from 75,000 to
300,000, asking for information as to
their water supply cost of plant, rat erf
charged, grosH receipts, expenditures,
etc.
A number of recites have been re
ceived by him, but a close analysis of
these does not warrant the drawing of
any particular conclusion as regarding
the advantage or disadvantage of
municipal ownership. The figures from
some cities show municipal ownership
to be a splendid tiling, and the figures
from other cities are not nt all satisfy
ing, it would seem that local condi
tions enter largely into the question.
The city of Syracuse, N. Y., which
has a population of 108,000, or COOO more
than Sciranton, owns its own water
works, having paid a total of $4,000,000
for them. The gross receipts per year
average $250,000, while the expenditures,
including Interest charges, amounted to
$-'47,000 last year, leaving a net profit of
$3,000. The rates for a single family
are $,", for water closets, $3, and for
bathtubs, $4. The rates charged by the
Scranton Gas and Water company in
tills city at present are $8 for a single
fimllr$3 for bathtubs and $3 for water
closets.
In Heading, with a population of 78,
000, municipal ownership appears to bo
a distinct success. The water plant hits
cost the city $1,879,832. The gross re
ceipts are $175,000 nnd the running ex
penses and interest charges, $104,000,
leaving a profit of $71,000 for last year.
The rates are far cheaper than those
in this city, water being furnished to
dwellings for $4.50. Bathtubs are $2.50
each and water closets, $2.50 each.
ROCHESTEK'S EXPERIENCE.
In Rochester, N. Y., population 1C2,
C08, municipal ownership appears to be
a. dark and dismal failure just at pres
ent. The plant cost $7,465,204. The gross
receipts last year were $400,000 and the
expenses $439,000, leaving a deficit of
$39,000 to be met.
The city of Milwaukee, population
2S5.000, is apparently coining money on
its water system. The plant was ac
quired for $2,000,000. The gross receipts
amounted to $500,000 last year and the
running expenses including interest
charges to only $179,485, leaving a net
profit of $320,000. Tin- bonds for the
plant were issued in 1875 so that they
have now been virtually nil redeemed
and the interest item reduced to eom
parltlve insignificance. The rate
charged is six cents per 1,000 gallons to
large and small consumers.
The municipal water plant In Provi
dence, R. I population 175,000, is a
paying establishment but the rates are
considerably higher than they are in
this city. The plant was acquired in
1871 and cost $G,470,093. The gross re
ceipts last year were $37S,SS9 and the
expenses, including interest, $202,000,
leaving a net profit or $376,000. The
rates for one faucet in a dwelling are
$C and for each additional faucet $2.
Bath tubs are $5 each and water clos
ets $5 each. Tho rate to large con
sumers is ten cents per 100 gallons up
to $600 a year and one and one half
cents over that sum.
Allegheny City, population 129,000,
owns its own water plant but had a
deficit of $12,000 to meet last year. For
a six room house the charge is $10.25,
and for houses with n larger number
of rooms $1.50 per each additional room.
Water closets are assessed at from $2
to $10 according to location. These rates
are excessively high as compared with
local rates.
AT GBAND RAPIDS.
Grand Rapids, Mich., population 87,
000, owns Its own water plant and
paid $1,440,000 for It. The gross re
ceipts last year were $110,000 and the
expenses only $88,705. The rates
charged- are five cents per 100 cubic
feet to all consumers; ten per cent,
off for prompt payment.
St. Paul, Minn., with a population of
165,000, paid $4,050,000 for Its water
plant. The gross receipts last year
amounted to $190,000 and the expenses
were $63,000, leaving a profit of $27,000.
The rate charged is $3 for a four room
house and thirty cents for enclt addi
tional room. Water closets cost only
$2. This rate will average about one
half tho rate charged by the Scranton
Gas and Water company for dwelling
houses.
Nashville, Tenn., population 80,000,
has owned her own water plant since
1S31, and Its estimated value Is now
placed at $2,500,000, The gross receipts
last year amounted to $150,820, and tho
expenses to $123,000, leaving the nent
little net profit of $27,000. The rate for
a six room dwelling, including every
thing, Is $9 nnd for nn eight room
dwelling $11.
Lowell, Mass., population 91,000. has
had a disastrous experience with her
municipal water plant which was ac
quired at a cost of $2,943,821, Since the
city has been running the plant the
gross receipts have been only $4,293,
847 as compared with running expenses
of $7,378,687, This means a total de
ficit up to date ot $3,084,840, all of which
has had to come out of the tuxpayors'
pockets.
A SMALL-POX SCARE.
Child Suffering from Measles Dis
covered in City Hall.
There was a small-sized small-pox
scare in the city hall yesterday morn
ing caused by the discovery of a child
with a heavy rash on Its face. The
child was brought Into the building by
Mtchuel Bugnamo, an Italian from
Plttslon, who had three other small,
children with him, His wife had died
and he wanted Mrs. Duggan to pluce
the children in some Institution.
Janitor Ward noticed the rash on the
chlld'u face and hustled the party flown
stairs. lie telephoned for Dr. Pane,
the bureau of health's small-pox physl
clun, who pronounced the child to be
HiillVrlng from measles. Mrs. Duggan
had tho child taken to the hospital,
and sent Bugnajno and fhe rest of his
fiocl; back to Luzerne county.

BOWLING WAS ERRATIC.
Big- Scores and Small Scores Made by
City Bowling League Teams Ar

but the rolling throughout was erratic.
The Liederkrans: team made a total of
937 against the Hampe team, and tills
score is flanked on either side by scores
just barely over 700. The Humpe team
fell down on the last game and made a
poor showing. The score:

BOOKS WERE
NOT PRODUCED
AWARD AGAINST THE STREET
OAR STRIKERS.
Their Slander Suit Against Dr. H, E.
Lutz Was Heard Before Arbitra
tors Yesterday, but Thoy Refused
to Produce Tholr Books and Papers
as Requested by the Defendant,
and, Under tho Law Governing At
bitrntlons, an Award of No Cause
of Action Was Given.
"No cause of action," was. the decis
ion of the board of arbitrators which
yesterday heard the case of P. J. Shea
and others, comprising the executive
committee of the local Street Car Men's
union, against Dr. II. K. Lutz, an ac
tion to recover $5,000 damages.
Tlie decision was arrived at early In
the hearing for the reason that the
plaintiffs refused to allow tlie books
and pnpers of the union to be brought
Into court for examination. Rather
than comply with the request ot tho
defendant for the books and papers,
they permitted their action to full.
About the middle of January, Dr.
LttlK Interested himself ln trying to
settle the strike nnd succeeded in at
tracting a good deal of attention. A
committee of the strikers, pre
tending they were dissatisfied with the
management of tho strike, went to see
Dr. Lutz, and to them he talked very
unreservedly, ns they alleged, stating
among other things, that the executive
committee had misappropriated $1,100
of strike funds and that they were in
the habit of giving suppers with tho
funds of the union.
It is charged that the doctor made
similar statements in many other
places. He was arrested for slander by
the committee and damages In the sum
ol $5,000 were nsked. The case came up
for n hearing yesterday, before Arbitra
tors Ralph Levy, C. E. Daniels and
Frank Glbbs. The committee was rep
resented by Attorney C. Balentine and
the doctor by Attorneys J. Elliot Ross
and John Gunster.
REFUSED TO BE SWORX.
When tlie hearing opened yesterday
morning, Mr. Balentine called Dr. Lutz
as for cross examination. Attorney
Ross .objected, saying that It was a
quaslcrimlnal action and that the de
fendant could not be called by the
plaintiff. The arbitrators over-ruled
the objection and then Dr. Lutz, by ad
vice of his attorney, refused to be
sworn.
Mr. Balentine asked that he be com
mitted to jail for contempt, but Mr.
Rons contended that a board of arbi
trators had no power to commit for
contempt. The arbitration was ad
journed until 1.30 in the afternoon, to
give the attorneys an opportunity to
present their authorities. After the re
cess, Mr. Ross said he was willing that
his client should be sworn, but that
he would not permit him to testify. Mr.
Balentine said he only wanted to ask
him if he had ever seen tlie books of
the union. Dr. Lutz admitted that he
had not, and was thereupon permitted
to retire from the stand.
P. H. Dougherty, one of the members
of the committee that waited upon Dr.
Lutz on Jan. 15 or 16, sald'Jiat tho
defendant told him that tlie executive
committee was short some $1,100 In its
accounts and that It had spent the
union's money in suppers. Attorney
Ross, during his cross examination of
Dougherty, showed the necessity of
having the books of tlie union present,
to establish the fact that Dr. Lutz
spoke truly. He said lie had served no
tice on the committee to produce its
books, papers, vouchers, etc., but they
had failed to do so.
BALENTINE'S CONTENTION.
Mr. Balentine admitted that notice
had been served on them but that they
would not produce the books. Justifi
cation, ho said, was no defense to tho
charge against Dr. Lutz, and as he was
not trying to establish justification, the
books were not necessary to the de
fense. Mr. Ross thereupon asked for an
award of "no cause of action," under
the act governing arbitrations, which
provides that the decision shall be
against any person who fails to pro
duce books or papers necessary to de
termine tlie matter at issue.
The arbitrators allowed Mr. Ross'
motion and filed an award ot no cause
of action.
