ANNUAL MESSAGE
OF THE RECORDER
Concluded from Page 5.
While we dispute the Justice of tliU increased
Mtc iti this city, the Insurance companies cite
the (art that the fire lcsci throughout the
United .States line been Increasing at such an
alarming rate the list few years, that they have
been brought to the point where they must re
echo moio money (or the protection which they
guarantee, or clo, lit many cites, cease doing
biuincss altogether, a situation, in (act, to
which many of the old, established companies
hue already been (orccd.
The numerous recommendations which the un
dcruiltcrs mudc ut different times for the In
creased efficiency of the fire bureau have in al
most ocry instance, and In all essential details,
been scrupulously followed out, and the director
of the department has labored cea&elcssly to se
cure for our citizens the removal of this excess
premium, but In the fact of n gcncial advance
throughout the country of at lea6t 23 per pent.
it is easily understood why his efforts in this di
re cl Ion have been of no avail. Meanwhile, we
may be assured that the money we hate expended
upon our tire bureau, pirtly n t the dictation of
the underwriters, and partly of our own volition,
will prove in the future, in the increased protec
tion it will affoid our homes and business places,
to hive been money well spent.
'J he work of the bureau of health during the
jcar bos been of very great importance tr tho
whole city. During Januiry, the dUeaso knows
as smallpox, which Ins been prevalent to an
alarming extent in Europe and America, made
its appeiri'icc in this city. The health authori
ties with commendable promptness, took the
(situation in hand. A pest-houso or emergency
hospital was ut once put up and a rigid (juiran
tine established over Al infected houses. Wliole
falc vaccination was recommended and phjM
clans were hired to vaccinate, free of charge, any
personi who might desiie treatment.
The number of people who availed themselves
et this privilege demonstrated that the com
munity was thoroughly aroused to the supreme
importance of raising every possible barrier to
the further progress of tnc disease, and this
Bttion on the pirt of rur citizens supplemented
the efforts of the health authorities to a very
great extent. A special approprhtion of ten
thousand dollars was made to meet this emerg
ency and to such good purpose has the money
been put tint the disease is now entirely stamped
out. Any balance lcmainlng in this cinerguey
'mill will be held to apply on the retirement
vf the loan negotiated at that time. The man
ner in which our health bureau lm handled this
emergency has merited for its able superintend
ent and his assistants our wannest cominenda'.ion.
The old crematory, which was constrticlccl many
oars ago for the incinera :ton of gaibage and
efiisc vegetable and animal matter, had become
partially worn out and Is in process of a gen
eral overhauling and repairing at this time.
The Mipcrvlsion over the ford products oflered
for sale in the city has been thorough, and the
division of plumbing, by compelling builders and
property owners to pay a moie strict observance
to the rules of hygienic plumbing and ventila
tion, is: supplementing to a marked dcgiee the
work of the health bureau.
The bureau of building inspection ha, accord
ing to the statistics which the director has ex
hibited in his report to me, and the opinion
which lie espresso.! on its efficiency, shown a de
rided improvement over old conditions. A care
ful examination is nude of all building plans',
and they aie approved in every instance bcfoio
a permit is issued. These penult arc paid for
promptly bv the parties taking them out, and
although this buicau was not cieatcd with tlu
idea of est ihllshliig a lovenue producing of
fice for the city, its levcuues as a nutter of tact,
liavc considerably exceeded its expenditures for
sonic time.
The grouping of the several bureaus which com
prise this department into a single division of
the city government, under one head, makes it
expedient that the various cilices should be as
convenient to the ofllcc of the director a-i pos
sible. As they arc now locitcd throughout the
building they ore inacceslble, inconvenient and
as illy.anangcd irencially as they well could be.
The superintendent of the bureau of fire is in
a small office in the tear of the building on the
third floor, the building, plumbing and food in
peclors' offices aie in the same lucallon, the
health office is on the second tlooi fi out, while
tlic director's own office U on the first floor, It
Is the purine that .is soon as the fourth floor
of the building is finished, as provided for in the
bond ordinance, this entile dipaitment (hall bo
locjted there. The quarter in this section will
be light and roomy and Willi the Installation of
an elevator will be convenient to the general
public.
I believe that the seveial bureaus of this de
partment are in a mote efficient state at this time
than they have ever been before. Tho tupjiiii
tendents I am convinced, aro endeavoring to
their utmost to bring their bureaus to tho
highest Mate of efficiency and to maintain them
there. A compaiiccn of such important branches
of the municipal government as the bureaus of
fire and police und health witli the coriespond
ins divisions in other cities of our size, with
a comparison of the annual appropriations made
for maintenance of the same, will convince any
one inclined to make a research into this subf'rt,
that our citizens aro receiving s good public
service,
lleforo passing this very Important department,
I desire to publicly commend the administra
tion of tho present director. His course lias
been marked by conservative action, jet ha lias
not hesitated to act promptly und villi. decision
in any matter ol first Importance to the publlo
lately, lie has demonstrated a combination of
qualities indicative of true executive ability.
Department Public Works.
The report of tho director of the department of
public works is a very interesting paper nnd
contains a number ol timely suggestions with
refrrenco to improving the condition of tho
public property with which this department his
to deal. Ho has act forth in detail tho vork
Hone during the year by tho different bureaus,
u well as the work which Is planned for the
coming year, and passes opinion on many matters
which I believe will prove of very jjrest value
liter on.
The director and myself havo discussed a num.
ber of times curlng the jar the uecesslly of
making a rHonition of tho elect rio lights, and
he has given this matter prominence In his re
port, 1 desire to heartily iccommcml what he
Could Fill the Paper with Them.
This paper might. ro filled with items
like tho following, und every one he the
absolute truth; I hud rheumatism tor
yonra und tried almost everything, but
got no permanent relief until I used
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, three bottles
of which have cured me. It Is the' best
medicine I ever 3ed.r-PhiIlp E.l(.)ads,

100 WILLIAM 6T., NEW YORK.
has said with reference to the matter. The city
had in service on Feb. 1, 009 arc light, with
provision in the appropriation ordinance for 4J
more, and tho demand for additional lights from
all quarters of the city still continues. This is
n large number of lights and is costing the city
more than $51,000 per year tor maintenance. I
, would urge upon jour honorable bodies that a
joint committee be appointed from councils,
who in conjunction with the director of public
works shall investigate this matter very care
fully, and make such a rc-lcatlon of the lights
as would seem Just and fair to the whole city.
In my opinion the city has long since reached
the limit of appropriation which should be made
for lighting, und 1 believe that this measure
would result in a more satisfactory light ser
vice, and would arrest tor a long time this
constantly growing item of expense.
The painting and .repairing ot the city hall,
for which provision was made in the appropria
tion ordinance last J ear, has been completed
and the building presents a cleaner and more
attractive Interior than it has for several years.
The director in his report cites the tact that
many of the bridges in the city arc too light
to support the heavy loads which arc now com
monly hauled over them, and still leave the
margin for factor of safety, which prudence re
quires. They were of sufficient strength when
they were built to accommodate the haulage
of that time, but the tendency nowadavs 'is-to
constantly increase botli the weight of truck
and thu load carried at a single haul, until now
loads two or even three times heavier than the
heaviest loads of twenty-five or thirty jcars ago
are commonly carried. This is a matter which
it will be well for us to keep in mind when
replacing the structures which were swept away
or destroyed .by the recent floods. The city
will have to replace these bridges at an early
day, and 1 would advise that the department
of public works be authorized to prepare their"
plans and attend to all preliminary work in con
nection with tills undertaking so that as soon as
an appropriation becomes available no time need
be lost in going ahead witli the work.
Special stress is laid upon the importance of
the proper care of the public highways, and as a
preliminary to this it is urged that the "ity
should utilize the stone whirh is found in a
quarry which it owns in Nay Aug park. This
material is made available by an offer ot the
Scranton Street Railway company to transport
it free of charge to any part of the city where
the department may direct. This is the best
material to be found in this region for road
construction and repair, and this offer by the
railway company would make it as cheap to the
city as ordinary roll. To utilize this material
it will be necessary for the city to have c stone
crushing plant at the quarry, nnd the dhector
is confident that the economy of making repairs
and the improved condition of our highways
would amply warrant the expenditure, which
he estimates at $2,500.
During recent jcars the attention of the city
has been repeatedly called to the variability of
the Lackawanna river, both with respect to its
volume and its course. The vital dependence
of this city on the this stream as the outlet for
its sener system makes it an object ot special
concern to the municipality, and its recent
inclination to leave its natural course, to the
great Injury and damage to abutting propeity,
with the subsequent possible liability of the city,
places a financial aspect on the matter as well.
The confining ot this stream to a fixed chvi
nel and the preparation of its bed to best seive
the purposes of the city, and remove this long
standing menace to the public health, is an en
gineering task which the city will probably
have to tako up at an early day. As a prcllmi
naiy preparation to this work the engineering
bureau has made a map showing the boundrlcs
of the stream from 1S57 to lS90f which is now
on file in the office. This map shows many
variations in the course of the river during that
period, and ns an aid to a ciretul study of
the nature of the stream is a very valuable
work. The director of public woiki, has very
aptly summarized the relation ot this stream
to the city when he savs in his report "as a
matter of fact the liver now is but a sewer and
as such it appears to me that a regular cour.-c
should be .decided upon and a uniform width
established."
Tho depattment of public works is exerting it
self to the utmost to prevent the filling up of
the liver bed by the dumping of iisl.es and
lefusc matter in the stream, but even with the
total cessation of this practice the trouble
would be only partially overcome, and the
stream can never properly perform the service
to the city, which nature intended that it
should, untirtts courrc is straightened and con
fined to one fixed channel aud Its bed properly
dredged and kept clean thereafter. The prob
abilities arc, however, that if the couisc of the
river through the city was straightened the nat
ural freshets would, to a very great extent, keep
its bed clear, and i educe the dredging necessary
to a minimum.
This question is of so great importance to the
city that it should receive the early and aretul
attention of your honorable bodies. The constant
dimuultion of its annual volume ot water will,
in a very short time, forco the problem upon us
for solution, willing or not as we may be to
consider it, and I believe that the question it
woithy the appointment of a special commis
sion of competent engineers, who, in conjunc
tion with our public vvorks department, should
make a careful and exhaustive study of the mat
ter, and report with a plan and cstinuto ot cost
for this work at t lie earliest time practicable.
The question ot the proper manner of clean
lug our paved streets is one which has been
seriously considered by every administration for
many jcars. After a number of experiments
our public works department lisi como to the
conclusion that tho sjstcm ot flushing, all
things considered, is the best. This method is
especially adapted to tho heavy grades which
prevail to a considerable extent in this city,
where the ordinary cleaning forco of tho water
is assisted in carrying off the loosened dirt by
the action of gravity. The abundance of water
in the city at all seasons of the jcar, and the
reasonable rest ot the came to the city, is rn
other argument in favor of this method, Whether
the work can bo done most economically by tho
city Itself, or by letting it out by contract to
private parties It a matter on which tho do
pal I men t is not fully decided, and on which it
may have something to report later on.
The department has been greatly In need of
a yart! for the storage and protection ot (lie
machines and tools used in its work, I am
very much pleased to note that jcur honorable
bodies have made a provision in the bund ordin
ance for this purpose, and feci confident that
the wisdom of the expenditure will show Itself
in the increased efficiency of tho depaitment.
Our parks come In for a good share ol the
attention of the public works department, and
the money which has so far been expended on
Nay Aug park bas greatly improved that resort.
Tho 2S,0Q0 which tht bond ordinance provlics
(or park improvement will bo equitably divided
among all of th parka. It la the intention of
the administration that tho two (mailer parka
shall; not be neglected 'in favor ot the Urge
one. Among the Improvements which the direc
tor urges for Nay Aug park are suitable quar
ters (or the animals, a swimming pool, a wading
pool (or children, an aquatlo garden, additional
walks and drives and protecting wall and
VUe drain atonic the ravine.
Tho numerous Important city works which are
prosrnilrd under the supervision ol lli depart'
inent, have been carried on In a very rjslematlr.
and buslnrss-llkn manner. Tim director has de
voted much of his time lo n careful and scien
tific study of the details of the many widely dif
ferent problems wllh whltli hli department hat
In deal. Illi object has been lo sjsteiiiatlra and
bring around In an economical and rfilelsnt basis
the manner tif conducting I lie wnrl: ol thu dif
ferent bureaus. The progress which the depart
ment has alinwn this jcar Is mnt gratifying end
promises well for n si lit further Improvement In
these Important bureaus.
Law Department
The report of the city solicitor Is a ronclo
and satisfactory ttatement of the afTaln of
this department during tho period extending
from April 1, 1001. to Feb. 1, 1102. It eho'vs
that there was collected from municipal lm
provcmcnU during that time the sum of M,
272.07, n very creditable showing for tho depart
ment, indeed
At tho usglnnlng iof the fi.cal year tho illy
was a party to a large number of suits which
were In the hands of rcfciec", ome of which
were partially tried and othcis In which time
had been no meeting. Thee cases liavu nil
been tried and settled or referred tinder the net
of assembly authorising same to be done. Many
of thceo claims before referees have been very
large, aggregating thousands of dollars, but the
city linn been generally successful so far In this
class of cases,
The Jury cases have been for negligence and
for taking property under tho statute. The
negligence cases have been very Important, the
damages claimed being large, but fortunately
so far no verdict has been secured ngattut the
city in these cases. I consider this a particularly
fortunate circumstance, and a worthy tribute to
the vigilance and ability of our law department.
Several small Judgments have been secured
against the city on cases growing out of the
taking of property, but the solicitor states that
he is about lo ask court to relievo us from pay
ment, with good prospects of success.
The city has been engaged in three very Im
portant cases which have appeared before the
Supreme court tlds spring, but the outcome has
only been determined in one of them.
In the case of the City of Scranton xs. II. IJ.
Sturges, wherein tho city was endeavoring to col
lect the price of a lien for pavement in front
of defendant's home, the decision ot the lower
court was against us. The case vvai taken to
the Supreme court and here nlso the city was
defeated. The case arose on the question ut
the right of the city to include in on assess
ment for raving, the cost of keeping such pave
ment in repair for a term of jcars. There is
very great danger that unless tho city Is re
lieved by legislation at Harrlsburg at tho next
session of the legislature, the effect of this de
cision will be to entail great loss on the city in
the collection of its paving liens, since this
question first came up, in all subsequent paving
work the cost of the pavement has been epa
rated from the cost- of maintenance, so that this
later work will not bo effected by this decision.
The second case Is the one which has become
historical as the viaduct case, nnd is of very
great interest to a large number of our rltlzcns,
as it involves our right to build a viaduct (vcr
West Lackawanna avenue, under certain legis
lation already passed. The last case Is that of
Jenkins xs. the City of Scranton, wherein Mr.
Jenkins is seeking to establish his claim to the
collcctorsliip ot delinquent taxes and to receive
compensation for his services.
The solicitor in his report states that during
the next six months it will be necessary to file
in the neighborhood of 4,000 municipal Hens,
and to issue scire facias on municipal liens al
ready filed, to the number of 1,000 more, and
many suits will have lo be brought to protect
the citj-. The burden of work whirh this will
place upon the solicitor and his one assistant
will bo very great, and tho provision which
jour honorable bodies have made for clerk hire
in this department, thus relieving them of a
great deal of the routine work of tho office, is
timely, and I am cspeciallj- gratified that this
bas been done.
Assessors' Department.
The- jcar just closed bis been one of the most
important in tho history of tho assessors' of
fice, in that it has witnessed an entirely new
departure in the manner of making the as
sessment. Whereas this work has heretofore
been done by twenty-one different men, in as
many different wards, it was attended to this
year by a single board of five men, who in the
course of four months, succeeded in vicvvlnsf and
assessing all taxable real estate in this city.
This manner of making the assessment necessarily
entailed a vast amount of very hard work upon
the board, but its results, in giving the city
what is probably tho first fair and uniform
assessment it has ever had, will amply- justify
any extraordinary clfort it may have tost.
It was nlso our first assessment made under
the second class citv law, and necessitated a
new rating and clatsification (or all real estate.
Considerable assistance was rendered our own
board by the advice and suggestions we le
ccived fiom the boards of Pittsburg and Alle
gheny, whose experience in making assessments
under this law naturally ante-dates oms by
many jcars, and the- sjstcm followed out in those
cities wxs copied as closely as conditions v.-ould
permit, in our city. The classification made in
this city, briefly stated, is as follows: All
blocks in which a majority of the lots were
built upon, also coil breaker), washerlcs and
all machinery pertaining to the mining of coal,
and all othery manufacturing industries, regard
less of locution, ure a-scactl as first class. Itlock
that contain a majority of vacant lots, as sec
ond class, and wild and agricultural lands as
third class. These classes pay respectlv t y, full
rate, two-thlids of full and one-halt of full
rate of levy for taxable purposes.
The liw governing the assessment In second
class cities requires that all taxable property
shall be assessed at full value and this lias re
sulted In raising our assessed valuation fiom
$23,000,000 to $63,000,000. The fact that the
present assessment is only $0.1,000,000, whereas
the old one, which presumably was on a one
thlid basis, was almost 2J,000,000, can bo ac
counted for by the general re-adjustment of values
which the board made on this asscsment. The
probabilities ore that the ptescnt assessment is
much neater coircct than the picvlous ones have
been.
Tin- new assessment gjves councils a debt in
curring power up to $1,210,000, a responsibility
which I trust will bo fully appreciated by all
future councils-, nnd n power which should not
bo exercised except when entirely Justified by
the public needs.

Our special thanks arc due the five gentlemen
who so carefully nnd satisfactorily look after
the sinking fund. These gentlemen have to u
very great extent the honor of the municipality
In their handi and as the compensation which
Is allowed them Is merely nominal, the city
Is doubly obligated to them for the responsi
bility they assume and the faithful manner in
which the interests ot this Important office arc
attended to.
Detorc closing this communication I desire to
Invite the attention of ycur honorable bodies to
a few matters for which I think it advisable mat
new legislation should be provided.
It has long been a nrlnclnio of law that all
legislation carrying with, It penalties against its
infraction should be properly nuvertiscn or pud
llslied In some manner so that the law rhould
be ncccHiIblc and convenient to the people and
Its provisions familiar to them, j-et we ate con-st-mtly
turning out legislation of this charac
ter, without making any provision for Its pub
lication. As a step tow arils this end I would
suggest that jou authorize the city solicitor to
prepare a digest of all city ordinances which
carry with them this penalty clause. A work of
this kind would vastly simplify the application
of our city laws, and would be of incalculable
value to our magistrates, hifore whom many of
these cases arc tried.
I would nlso urge that j our honorable bodies
enact a law that all cases for the Infraction of a
city ordinance, shall be tried before one of our
regular magistrates, so that the city shall re
ceive the full revenue from these cases, as it
was no doubt originally intended it should be.
I shall also ask for legislation providing for a
place of dctenlicn for female prisoners and for
the appointment of two police matrons. In the
manner in which we now care for the unfortunate
women who arc 'taken in from our streets, we
are but little advanced bejend the Dark Ages.
There are many matters which some police au
thority must attend to In relation to our female
prisoners, such, for example, as searching the
prisoner, which can only be decently done by a
woman, and the need of providing for a woman
to attend to these matters b urgent, as the con
tinuation of the present method ot treating this
class of prlsoneis would be little less than a
disgrace to the city. Provision should also be
made for the special care of the children who
from time to time aro brought into our police
quarters." These also could be attended-to by the
matron, but they should be separated as far as
possible from the degrading influences which
necefsarily surround the police courts.
During the year I snail ask jour honorable
bodies! for tho necessarj' legislation to thor
oughly establish our pelice and fire bureius on
a civil service basis. This is a duty imposed
upon the municipal authoiitie.s bj- tho charter
act under which we now operate, and should bo
provided at the earliest moment that a satis
factory and Just plan can be devised. In con-iee-tion
with this change in our police and fire bu
reaus I shall also ask authority for the crea
tion of a pension fund for these bureaus, nnd
the diversion of the moneys received nnnially
from the state tax on foreign fire insurance com
panies, to the benefit of the firemen's portion of
this pension fund.
The present time is a period of special signific
ance and importance to this city. Our transi
tion from a third class city to one of the sec
ond class is bringing with it many new prob
lems and questions which will call for our most
painstaking and conscientious consideration. The
precedents which wo establish now will be last
ing and far-reaching in their effect, and the
wisdom or lack of wisdom which wo display in
shaping our legislation, will undoubtedly affect
our city In future j-cars moie than we at this
time realize. It is a fact, with which wo can
not too strongly impress ourselves, that we
are to a very great extent laying the foundation
stones of the legislative structure ot the second
class cltj- of Scranton.
In conclusion, I beg to thank the heads ot de
partments for their faithful and earnest efforts
to perform the work of their offices well, and to,
unitedly, bring credit upon tills administration.
My requests for information have invariably
not with a full and detailed explanation, and a
desire has been constantly manifested bj- all de
partments to earry out suggestions that I might
make. I believe that tho prospects for a suc
cessful and economical administiation ot city af
fairs for the coining year are excellent.
I trust that the harmonious1 relations which
have existed between jour honorable bodies and
this office during the past jcar may continue.
The courteous tieatment which I have lecolvcd
at jour lunds i deeplj- appicciatcd, and jour
continued nnd unanimous support ot my of
ficial acts is especially gritlfjlng.

Wall' Street Review.
New York, April ". The upward movement of
stocks which had attained some headway during

in face of the rapidly contiaeting supplies in

thu leaders of l.iet week's movement were the
chief sufferers from the selling. The total vol
ume ot dealings fell considerably below the
million share maik touched on I'uday but run
tlderabl mure than oue-thiul of thu total was
made un of .St. Paul, Louisville and Xochvillo
and Union Pacific. The selling cost St. Paul
2-Js, Louisville and Nashville lis and Union Pa
cltlu l?a. The rather abrupt reaction in the stocks
as a mult of the development In the money
innihet was considered rcm.irl.ublc fiom the fact
thai those developments weie generally admitted
to bo impending last week. Tho answer made to
this was that the abundance of capital in the
we.t would lelievc the situation and give free
scope to the buying of stocks. Hut when tha
call money rate fhot up to 7 per cent, this
afternoon, the highest point of the season, this
assurance did not avail to prevent throwing over
of laigc amount of stock. The foreign exchange
mirket was- apparently not in the least ulfeeted
by the outgo of $1,3X1,000 showing that the con
signment is lu pajment ot foreign uhllgitlons,
as has been the c.iu with preceding shipments
for some time, llcside the gold sHlpmcnt the
banks hive lost to the sub-treasury slino the
weekly bank statement some it-WS.ooo. As the
bank statement on Saturday showed the surplus
reserve down to V.UIVi-'J, it will lie perceived
that today's demands weiu sufficient to wipe out
the surplus. All departments ot the lUt were
affected nnd the daj's lossea run quite generally
fium 1 to 2 points and over that' in exceptional
rases. Amalgamated Copper ignored tho general
tendency ot the maiket, as It did when the mar
ket was going up, and rose brakly at the last
of the day to l'i over last week. Other firm
pots vveio In the local tractions, some of thu ex
press stocks, Wcstliie'house Klectilc, Chicago and
Alton, the Wisconsin Central stocks, the l)u
luth, South Shore and Atlantic stocks and come
minor stocks, The market closed active and
easy and generally at the lowest. Total sales
today, 017,100 thsres. A few- of the newer bond
issue were udvauic-d but tho general tendency
was sllKhtly easier In sjnipatliy with storks. To
tul sales, par value, 1,010.0. United Mates
bonds were all unchanged on last call.
