ALL WORK MUST
BE POSTPONED
EXTENSIVE CITY IMPROVE
MENTS ABE DELAYED.
Hayes & Son Will Not Tnko tho
9200,000 Bond Issue Awarded
Them Last April and It Is Almost
a Certainty That Now Bids Will
Have to Be Advertised for Boa
sons Assigned for Bofuslng to
Tako tho Bonds Aro Characterized
ns Being Without Merit.
Keen disappointment Is felt In city
hall, and eventually will make Itself
generally felt through the city, over
tjio fact that tho 5185,000 north of lin
piovemcnts contemplated for this sum
mer will In all probability have to put
over for a year, na n result of Hayc3
& Sons failure to take the bond lsaue
awaidcd thorn last April.
The city authorities had planned to
have all tho work done this summer,
Tho preliminaries weto arranged early
In the spring and It was hoped that
the bonds would be floated early In
May. The city authorities did all they
could to bring about tho desired results.
but their efforts promise to go for
naught. Hayes & Sons, seemingly, do
not want the bonds, nnd as It would
require long nnd expensive litigation
to compel their acceptance, the llkell
hood Is that the bonds will be rc-adver
Used and another purchaser secured.
The city, however, will make a stub
born fight to retain the $3,000 forfeit
which tho bidders posted to Insure
compliance with the terms of their bid
In case they were successful.
THE IMPROVEMENTS.
The improvements which must be de
layed as the lesult of the Hayes &
faons' back-down nnd the money ap
propriated for them will be found
among the following items of the bond
ordinance:
Improvement of Nay Aug nark $ Sl.OCO
Joint file and police headquarters... 40,000
I'lmcnix hore house and land 20,v00
Opening of Irving avenue and Vine
htroct 30,100

I'm chase of lot In Fiovldcncc 2.0CO
Storchou-o for the department of
public winks 6,000
liuprowng tho fouith floor of city
hall KJ.OM)
Retaining wall on Third avenue H.flCO
Reining wall on Yard sticct 1,U0
Retaining wall on Bust Maiket
street 1,000
Iipe drain on Abh street 2,000
?1S3,000
The other $100,000 provided for in tho
bond ordinance Is to be applied to the
liquidation of floating Indebtedness. The
city is paying six per cent, on this debt,
and by reason of the delay in cashing
the bonds is losing two and one half
per cent, interest.
Tho bonds arc S's per cent, and tax
bearing, the (list $50,000 worth maturing
In five yeais and the remainder in stat
ed periods extending over a term of
twenty-five years. Hayes & Son offer
ed to take the Issue at a premium of
$7,09.'. -The Pittsburg Trust company,
Dick Bros.' and Rudolph Kleybolte &
Co., made bids the lowest of which was
only $S0O less than that of Hayes &
Son. Four other houses made much
smaller bids.
MADE PREDICTION.
The agent for one of the latter said
at the time of the opening of the bids
that Hayes & Son would never tnko
them at that figure. Thcie Is scarcely
any market for three and one-half per
cent, bonds, he claimed, and they nre
only purchased by bond houses, as a
rule, when a customer has been pre
viously seemed. Some Inconsiderate
houses make It a practice to bid very
high for bonds with the Intention of
taking them only in case a customer js
secured.
Their high bid secures the award and
then they start out to peddle them.
To effect the delay of the delivery of
the bonds they dilly-dally about tech
nicalities. If, finally, they conclude they
do not want them they will have their
attorneys find some fault In the bond
ordinance and send word that they can
not take tho bonds as they are not
legally Issued. It Is nothing more or
less than getting an option on tho
bonds, without cost, for nn Indefinite
pcilod. If something happens to make
the bonds marketable the deal Is closed.
If not, the bonds aro refused. In tho
case of municipalities the money Is
urgently needed and Instead of trying
to force tho option holder to tako the
bonds at tho end of a couple of years
of litigation, the municipality, sniotheis
Its clmigln, parses a new ordinance and
readvertlses for bids. That Is what tho
city of Scranton will likely have to do
In the present Instnnce.
Tho reasons given by Hayes & Sons
for lefuslng to take the bonds am
flimsy according to City Solicitor Wat
son. In fact ho contends they have
no well founded icasons whatever.
PRINCIPAL OBJECTION.
Their principal objection Is that the
bonds aro Illegal because the ordinance
provides for ti mixed Issue. The state
law says that an item for refunding a
loan and an item for contemplated im
ptovements shnll be provided tor under
separate and distinct conditions. Tho
ordinance In question provides for
$100,000 to pay off judgments and Hayes
& Sons contend that this Is refunding
;i loan. City Solicitor Watson declares
that tho refunding of a loan and the
paying off of floating debt judgments
nre two different and dibtlnct things
nnd stands ready to prove that tho
contrary claim of Hayes & Sons Is
ridiculous.
Another ground seized upon by Hayes
& Sons for attacking the validity of
the Issue Is that the statement of in
debtedness filed by City Controller Cos
tello Is not complete. There Is no merit
in this,, City Solicitor Watson says,
because, In the first place the htate
ineiit filed was simply for the Infor
mation of the bidders as to how the
city's flnnncea stood nt that time, and,
in the second place, because the law
penults of the tiling of this statement
at any (line prior to the issuing of the
bonds which takes place when the
bonds uro delivered and tho cash paid
for them. The city did not pretend
that tho debt statement (lied was a
completo statement. Some few thous-

"Pleased at the Remarkable Progress"
33D Cliciry Street, Scranton, Va June 11, 1002.
Mr. J. Alfred Pennington: ,
. Dear Sir: After a year's application to the study of
music, by inv daughter, nt your Conservatory, I nm
pleased to note tho rcuuuknblc progress she has been en-,
nblcd to make. Am well satisfied with tho quality of
the work the Conservatory Is doing. Really, 1 nm surprised
to nnd that It offers such superior advantages to those de
siring to pursue advanced studies In music.
Very truly yours, V. P. DOTY,
Pastor St. Paul's M. E. Church.
New Prospectus Will Soon Be Out,
nnda of dollars worth of recent Judg
ments were omitted because they had
not been turned In, but the city was
then engaged In canvassing Its out
standing judgments and by the time
the bonds would bo ready for delivery
would be prcpatcd to file a complete
statement.
A TECHNICALITY.
Another objection came because the
clause levying taxes to meet tho prin
cipal and Interest of the bond might
bo Interpreted to read that tho taxes
were to bo levied for only the first
year. Tho phrase, "and every year
thereafter," should have been Inserted
In this clause It Is claimed by the law
yers for Hayes & Son. City Solicitor
Watson characterizes this as hair
splitting, and to prove the complete
shallowness of the objection points to
the fact that the city could bo com
pelled by mandamus to levy taxes to
meet the bonds as they came due.
Finally, City Solicitor AVatson points
out, a municipal bond Issue, though
teeming with such alleged regularities,
Is legalized the moment It passes to a
econd party or "innocent purchaser."
There was never a municipal bond Is
sue in Pennsylvania that was Invali
dated, ho savs.
Even If the city went to law it Is
likely Hayes & Son would win out, for
theie Is a "fine print" clause In their
pioposal making their liability for the
acceptance of the bonds subject to the
approval of their attorney.
About the only hope of the city being
saved from the expense and delay of
re-advertising the bonds is that there
will be a change in existing financial
conditions which will make this class
of bonds marketable. Tho fact that
there were only three bidders for the
school board bonds would indicate that
the changed conditions aro not Immi
nent. Social and

A very charming wedding last night

Only two contestants scored points
yesterday In Tho Tribune's Educational
Contest. They were Charles Dorsey, of
Scranton, and J. A. Havenstrlte, of
Moscow.
Charles Dorsey appears to be doing
about all the work these days. While
this ambitious young man Is hustling
to the top of his bent his colleagues
sit idly still and watch him climb closer
to the top day after day.
J. A. Havenstrlte is tied this morning
with Homer Kresge for twelfth -place,
just where he was on July 1. Each of
these young men have brought In an
equal number of points tills week.
Tho leaders still seem to be "a little
bnckward about coming forward." Tho
contestants who aio making the pace
now are those who aie down below
ninth place. Of those who aie In the
top positions Burns has scored but 7
points since July 1; Kipp, 2; Gunster,
0; Rodriguez, 2; Stanton, S; Sherwood,
6; Madden, 0; Kresge, B; Havonstiite,
5; Cooper, 0, and Miss Harpur, 2. A
now contestant could seize this p'resent
Inaction with great advantage, or oho
of those down on the bottom of the list
could by energy and perseverance win
his way to the front rapidly. Now Is
the time to get In the good work. Va

DECISION AGAINST EVERHABTS,
Lehigh Vitlloy Coal Company Won In
Suit for Royalties.
"President Judge Arnold, of common
pleiis court No 4, handed down an
opinion ycslordny In favor of the Lehigh
Valley Coal company In Its suit against
Ucorgo W. Evctiutrt and othcis, to
have the rights ot the company to cer
tain unmlncd coat on the Evcrhnrt
tract of land In Luzerne and Lacka
wanna counties, legally determined,
and also to pi event the Evcrhnrt helis
from attempting to lcstimc possession
summarily ot the piopcrty. until the
coiifpany shall have milled and removed
the remainder of the coal from tho
laud," says yesterday's Philadelphia
Press,
"The trouble arose over the terms of
a lease of the coal lands granted by
the Everhnrt heirs to Fiedctick Mcrcur,
In 1SSI, nnd ns-slgiied by Mcrcur to the
Lbhlgh Valley Coal company. Tho
lease provided that tho Evcrhart3
should bo paid certain annual royalties
on all coal mined 'and removed nnd it
in any one year the stipulated minimum
cash royalty shall bo paid and sufllclont
coal to equal such loyalty shall not
have been mined nnd leinoved, the
deficit may be mined and removed,
without charge, In any subsequent yenr
of tho term,'
"Halt of tho coal In tho land belong
ed to the Lehigh Coal company which
was therefore entitled to receive one
half of tho royalties collected.
"Tho company did not begin mining
until 'November, 1S'.)0, but In the mean
time It paid the stipulated annual roy
alties. The coal which has been mined
nnd removed from the land was brought
to the surface through openings upon
adjoining properties.
"Judge Arnold says that payments to
the Everhart heirs appear to have
been made In excets of the value of the
defendant's share to the amount of
$S661.15, according to the method of
valuation provided by the lease, and
that the Lehigh Valley Coal company's
prayer for relief should be granted."
