Wherein, West Scranton for jcars lias nkecl for
a viaduct at aforccald, the necessity for which
far exceeds that of any of Ihe Itcnu now In
cluded In the present bond ordinance, and
Whereas1, Tho estimated cost of construction of
a i Induct on the southerly side ol West Lacka
wanna avenue, between Seventh and Ninth
streets, would not exceed 22o,euO, and nt Hip
same time would give the city needed ground 'or
a market place. Therefore, be It
Kcsohod, That the West Side Hoiril of Trade,
for itself and the citizens ol West Scranton, bote
by demands that n sum sufflccnt for the construc
tion of a viaduct on West Lackawanna, .ncmic
over tho Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
tracks ni aforesaid be Included In the bond ordi
nance now before councils; believing that the
opiKirtune time for the icetirlng of the appro
prlation and for the construction ol a iiduct is
the present time, when general lmproement arc
contemplated for tho entire city. Further bo It
Itcsolicd, That tho ccuncllmen of the city, nnd
particularly Hip councllmcn from West Scranton
w.mla be usked to withhold their support fiom the
present bond ordlnunce unless a mm sufficient for
the construction of the latitat aforesaid be in
cluded within the terms of the ordinance.
(Signed) 1). I). Jlvans, T. Fellow Maon, W.
CI. Moscr, John It. Farr, Ilobcrt J. William', Com
mittee. T. Fellows Mason, who submitted tho
resolutions, spoke In favor of them. It
Is the duty of the bonrd, ho said, nnd
the duty of the recorder, to help get
this viaduct, as It Is vastly of more Im
portance than any other Item In tho
present bond ordinance.
President Daniels called the attention
of the board to the fact that the or
dinance has contemplated Improve
ments in It for every section of the
city but West Scranton, and while he
did not want to be construed as being
antagonistic to Recorder Connell's
views In the matter, still he was of the
opinion that there must be some reason
for such an evident omission.
In the first place, he said, the record
er did not want the ordinance amended
by any "riders," and' thus Informed the
committee when they waited on him.
Then it came to pass that $13,000 was
needed for South Scranton, and' now It
appears that $49,000 additional Is ro
rjulred for new bridges, etc.
"There Is something behind all this
that the board Is not conversant with,"
he said, "and If the recorder wants a
separate ordinance for a viaduct, why
not have separate ordinances for these
additional appropriations. We have a
right to ask questions, and In justice
to the people of West Scranton wo
should demand reasons for this appar
ent neglect."
W. Hayden ISvans expressed his sur
prise at the recorder's attitude in the
matter, nnd was heartily In favor of the
resolutions and in persuading the West
Scranton cotmeilmen to Insist upon the
appropriation being Included in the or
dinance. Select Councilman Joseph Oliver said
that it strikes him that the recorder
cannot veto Items in the bond ordlniliicc
after they have been passed by councils.
There is only one item in it, he said.

as important as tho viaduct, and- that Is
the $100,000 for the payment of judg
ments against the city. He is also sur
prised at tho recorder's attitude, and
believes there Is something behind It
nil. If the people had any say we
would get the viaduct.
Jenkln T. Reese endorsed Mr. Oliver's
remarks, but said he did not feel un
kindly towards the recorder, but Inti
mated that in years gone by he (the
recorder) promised to favor tho viaduct
when votes were wanted, and now ho
favors it, but yet wants to prevent us
from getting this much needed im
provement when such a splendid op
portunity is offered.
Councilman Robathan insisted that
the board should agree on what kind
of a viaduct Is needed, and stated that
his colleagues from this side were prac
tically a unit on the proposition of In
corporating tho viaduct appropriation
in the bond ordinance. "It is a ques
tion of expediency," he said, "and the
people of West Scranton must decide
where the viaduct is to bo located and
what kind of a structure is wanted.
Mr. Mason hero informed Mr. Roba
tluin that tlie structuie is wanted on
tho south side of tho street, nnd that
$1'2.",000 is needed to cover the cost of
constriR'tion and conperiuont damages.
Kx-.Iayor Follows alsi .spoke on the
question and threw some hot shot into
the administration. "Jt is tlie duty of
the board and tho recorder to help get
the Induct," ho said, "as it is of
gi eater importance than any other
item in tho bond oidlnanoe. 1 am happy
to stiy that I am not thin-skinned, and
J want this appropriation, nnd t want
our coimeilmen and recorder to so on
record in the matter.
"Wo want !i viaduct, and we don't
want to be sat down on by any coun
cihneu or refill der. The impropriation
should go through or fall with the rest,
mid ir need be, we should make this
m. liter a piililh-nl Issue."
U. D. Kvnns contended that the argu
ments advanced against a viaduct on
the south side of the street are very
lllmsy. !:. W. Thayer, who was elected
to membership along with John R. Kd-
wnrcls, expiessed tho opinion that It
will be necessary tu make tho viaduct
a political Issue.
H. 0. Morgan 'also favors making It
a political issue, and William Karrell
says It will enhance the value of prop
erty on the northerly side of the street.
After all the discussion, a motion
was passed instructing the secretary
to notify all tho West Scranton coun
cilnien that the board favors the erec
tion of ii viaduct on the southerly side
of tho street.
Accident at Sloan Mine.
At an early hour yesterday morning
an accident occurred nt the Sloan mine,
which caused a suspension of opera
tions for tho dav.

pair them. It 'Is expected the colliery
will resume operations today.
