the past live years this organization has
run successful excursions to the various
lakes surrounding Scranton. The ex

JUST LIKE A
GENTLE ZEPHYR
H. B. PAINE SPRINGS ANOTHER
UNIQUE SIMIL.
Lively Discussion In Common Coun
cil Ovor Concurrent Resolution
Calling for Cessation of Work On
Providence Road Pnvo Until Street
Is Opened to Fun Width and Penco
Lines Established Scranton Rail
way Company Directed to .Issue
Transfers. s
"air, clinlrmnn, I nm decidedly op
posed to this resolution. I believe the
city has no right to arbitrarily stop
work on a contract legally made, and
I furthermore think that the contrac
tor In charge wouldn't pay nny moro
attention to It than ho would to a gen
tle zephyr blowing from the South on a
balmy July day."
These sentiments were expressed by
II. E. Pnlnc at last night's meeting of
common council, when a concurrent
resolution from select council was .read,
which lcnucsts the director of public
works to notify the contractor In charge
to cease work on the Providence road,
until the street Is opened to its full
width and fence lines established, by
the superintendent of the bureau of
engineering. Several other members
expressed dissatisfaction at "the reso
lution, which was finally passed with
an amendment by Mr. Calpln, which
provides that Superintendent Phillips
must report to councils on the matter,
within n week.
Last night's meeting of council was a
very long one, the session lasting until
10.30 o'clock. A largo amount of new
business was transacted, among other
measures a resolution being passed
directing the Scranton Railway com
pany to Issue transfers, within ten days
from the passage of the resolution,
from the Bellevuo to South Scranton, J
lines and vice versa. This action was
taken, as the result of the report of the
joint committee of councils which was
appointed to confer with General Man
ager Sllliman, on the matter.
COMMITTEE REPORTS.
Other committee reports were tho
following: Light and water committee,
approved of tho ordinances providing
for two electric lights in the Second
ward, three street lights in the Fifth
ward and an electric light In the Twen
tieth ward; printing committee, ap
proval of the ordinance fixing the num
ber of newspapers in which the official
advertising of the city is to be done,
with an amendment changing the num
ber from four to three; public buildings,
approval of an ordinance providing
land for a yard and store house, for
the department of public works. This
committee made an amended report on
the ordinance, appropriating $40,000 for
a fire and police house, and this was
later referred back to the superinten
dent of building Inspection, with direc
tions to change the plans, from a two
story building, to one of three stories,
constructed of grey stone like that used
in the city building, Instead of brick.
Mr. Stipp's report for the railways
committee was adopted, approving the
ordinance providing for the erection of
safety gates on both sides of the Dela
ware and Hudson crossing on Poplar
street, and penalizing a failure of the
company to attend to this, nnd have
gatemen in charge. Mr. Evans, for the
streets and bridges committee, recom
mended the acceptance by the city of
West Park. The committee visited this
and found the streets in general good
condition, with the exception of small
parts of Sumner avenue, near Pette
bone street, and Hyde Park avenue,
between Pettebone street and Schlager
boulevard, where the rains have caused
considerable damage. A reduction in
the grade of Schlager and Oram boule
vards was also recommended. The re
port was adopted.
INTERVIEW WITH SILLIMAN.
Mr. Henry then made the report for
the special committee, which inter
viewed General Manager Silliman. The
latter was seen at his offlcc, August 7,
and then Informed the councllinen that
it was Impossible to issue the trans
fers without heavy loss to the com
pany. On the suggestion being mode
that ears be run direct from Bellovue
to South Scranton, he declined, and
stated that this would mean the run
ning of an extra ear, and an additional
dally expense of $1!.
In discussing this, the report states:
"Economy Is a strong point with Mr.
Sllliman. Fifteen dollars a day out
weighs the appeals of thousands of
people, in the eyes of this company,
which, it must be remembered, oper
ates In the city by the grace of the
people. After our conference, however,
wo were not sure whether tho company
existed by tho gince of the1 city or tho
city by the grace of the company."
Mr. Silliman stated to the committee
that the transfer clauses of the stieet
railway ordinance are null and void, aa
there are no connecting lines of street
railway in tills city, and the company
Is theiefore under no real obligations
to Issue any transfers. The committee
reepmmended that the proper city offi
cials take measures to enforce the ordi
nance, and submitted the resolution
given above,
Tho following resolutions and ordin
ances wero introduced;
Mr. Casterllne Directing tho direc
tor of public works to consult with the
chief engineer of tho Scranton Railway
company, regarding their proposed via
duct, from tho Intersection of Carbon
stieot and the Providence road to Mif
flin avenue,
Mr. Calpln An ordinance merging
tho unexpended balances of 1901, and
paying deficiencies existing prior to
IDOL.
Mr, Roche An ordinance granting
permission to the Luckawanna Light,
Heat and Power company to erect
poles und string wires, construct and
maintain underground conduits, etc,,
with u vlow to operating In this city.
Mr, Knoeppel's ordinance authorizing
the director of public safety to equip
tho Keyser Valley lloso company was
referred to tho proper committee for
Immediate action, on motion of Mr,
Norton,
TIME IS EXTENDED.
A resolution, Introduced by Mr. Nor
ton, was adopted, extending tp Dec, J,
the tlmo limit for the completion of
the Flist district sewer In the Eighth
word, which Is being constructed by
Contractor T. F. Gannon.
A large number of concurrent resolu
tions came over from select council,
but the one dealing with tho Provi
dence pavo was the only one to arauso
any comment. Said Mr, Paine, tho In
stant it was read; "Select council
would never have passed tiat resolu
tion If they had given the matter caro
ful thought. A contract bus been en

tered Into, and we can't arbitrarily
stop work. Moreover, this resolution
doesn't state when tho city engineer
is to attend to his part of It, and he
can postpone work and hold up tho Job
a3 long as he feels like it."
Mr. Gnlvln nnd Mr. Partridge both
expressed themselves as of the same
opinion, and the latter gentleman
characterized' the resolution as the
"height of folly." Mr. Cnlpin arose to
the occasion, however, and tho resolu
tion found In him a stout champion.
"As It seems to me," he remarked,
"there's a great deal too much talk go
ing on nbout the contractor -and too
little about the city. The real Issue at
stake Is whether or not tho city Is en
titled to a sixty foot street on Provi
dence road, instead of a forty foot
street. The convenience or inconven-
ence 0f tno contractor is merely lncl-
dental."
"Very true," Mr. Paine answered,
with considerable warmth, "but tho
ordinance has already fixed the width
of the road. The contract has been
made and it cannot be changed. We
don't want any unnecessary delay on
tho work, however, and that's the main
objection to tho resolution."
"All right. I'll offer an amendment
stipulating the length of time to be
given the city engineer to work on the
job," said Mr. Calpln, promptly, and
the resolution was then handed to
Chairman Robathan.
"I don't quite agree with Mr. Paine
about the Impossibility of changing the
contract," here remarked Mr. Sykes,
"but I do think It's all foolishness to
stop-work on Court street and Diamond
avenue, which wouldn't be at all inter
fered with by the engineer's operations
on Providence road."
"Well, vote down the resolution,
then," mildly suggested Mr. Paine. The
amendment was adopted by the follow
ing vote:
Yeas Henry. Snoxvilon, Itnggcity, Mc
Grcevoy, Calpln, Roche, Phillips, Rosar,
Galvln, Sykes, Gurrcll, McIJale, Graff,

COMMITTEE NAMED.
The concurred resolution providing
for a Joint committee of councils, to
Investigate the nuisance complained of
by Domlniek Henley who states his
property at the westerly corner of Ninth
street and West Linden street has been
damaged by a sewer there, was con
curred in. Chairman Robathan ap
pointing tho following committee to act
with the committee from select, and
Investigate the matter, In company with
Director Roche and Superintendent
Phillips, M. II. Stlpp, A. L. Lewis and
William Gurrell.
The ordinance providing for a trans
fer of $133 from tho printing appro
priation of last year to that of 100:', for
the department of public safety was
referred to the proper committee, and
Clerk Evans then read tho list of
amendments made to tho Consumers'
Gas company franchise, by select coun
cil. Common concurred in the amend
ments. A number of ordinances passed first
and second reading, among them the
amended ordinance, fixing the amount
and arrangements for official advertis
ing. Mr. Parttldge prefaced action on
the matter, by explaining the commit
tee's reason for reducing the number
of papers. When tho new fire house
ordinance was read by Mr. Sykes, Mr.
Paine "wanted to know the reason" for
making the changes In Superintendent
Brown's plans. "Well," said Mr. Sykes,
"We'll need lots of room there, and Its
no use putting up a two story building
now, nnd ripping tho roof off later on,
to make room for another story. The
way It's built now, there are too many
luxuries In that building, and by ton
ing these down, the appropriation can
be made to go farther," Council
thought it best to send the ordinance
buck to Superintendent Drown before
passing It.
The ordinance providing for the
equipment of the Keyser Valley Hose
house, which was favorably reported
on by committee passed llrst and sec
ond readings. Ordinances which passed
third nnd final reading wero the fol
lowing: For rebuilding tho substruc
ture and repairing the superstructure
of the Hollow street bridge, over Leg
get's creek in the Third ward; for In
stalling a switch board In the city
building und tho purchase of n number
nf additional telephones; providing tor
tho building of a lateral sewer on
Mciidlun street.

advances were made by contestants
occupying positions above tenth place.
The tie existing between Willinm T. S.
Rodriguez und Fred K. Gunster was
broken and Mr. Rodriguez passed up to
undisputed possession of the position,
although he holds it by the narrow
margin of one point. William Sherwood,
of Harford, sent in another batch of
fifteen points and again advances In
the table, this time passing Charles W.
Dorsey and getting a good hold on
ninth place. Maxwell Shepherd, of
Carbondale, who Is the next place
above, sent in five points, and Is still
considerably in advance of Mr. Sher
wood. Charles Burns, of Vandling, made the
biggest score of the day, turning In
twenty-two points. This places him
considerably nearer Mr. Kellerman, in
first place, who has not scored since
Saturday.
Another tie was broken by Hugh
Johnston, of Forest City, who passed
up ono place only to bo tied with an
other contestant. Homer Kresge also
scored a point, breaking still another
tie and giving him a cleur title to four
teenth position.
The only changes among the leaders

Burns, who went from eighth to third
