FELICITATIONS
EXTENDED
COUNOILMEN HONOR DEPART
ING FELLOW MEMBERS.
Senator-elect P. F, Calpin and, Representative-elect
Fred Phillips Re
signed Last Night from the Com
mon Branch nnd Expressions of
Good Will Were Given by Several
of the Members Mr. Phillips Lost
His Box of Cigars Which Went
Over to Select Council.
Common Couiiclhnen P. !'. Calpin, of
the Sixth ward, and Fred Phillips", of
the Eleventh ward resigned their seats
last night to take effect Dec. 31, be
cause of their election ns state senator
and representative respectively and the
occasion wns made ono of the most
enlivening of the year.
After the letters of resignation had
been read under the ninth order of
business, Mr. Paine arose and proposed
that all Join in singing "nuld Lang
Syne." which waf done to his vocifer
ous lending. President Robitlhan was
tho llrst to make any remarks and ho
did so In his characteristically clever
way. It was with a paradoxical feel
ing of pleasure and sorrow, he said,
that he witnessed the departure of
Alessis. Phillips and Calpin, pleasure
thot they had graduated Into higher
legislative bodies and sorrow that they
were to leave that body where they
had been so useful.
Mr. Phillips, who doesn't pretend to
he much of a speechmakor smiled his
prettiest and expressed his regret at
leaving the council, but Senator Cal
pin made a brief address.
The Senator's Remarks.
"I want to thank you. gentlemen,"
he said, "for your kindly feelings of
regard and to express to you my keen
sorrow at severing my relations with
this council. My relations with the
members have always been extremely
cordial and the little tuts and contro
versies which we may have had were
only, ofter all, t lltle inconsequential
ripples on the surface of our friend
ship, which lies too deep to be affected
by them. I trust that I may continue
to merit your respect in the new asso
ciation to which I go."
Mr. Partridge referred to Mr. Cal
pin's successor, the late Senator James
C Vaughan, ns a big man In every
sense of the word and said that he be
lieved Mr. Calpin had the stuff in him
which would In time enable him to
measure up to the dead senator's stand
ard. It remained for Luther Keller, who
has been perhaps more often arrayed
against Senator Calpin than any other
member of the council, to pay the final
tribute.
"The only objection I have to Sena
tor Calpin." said he, "Is that he's on
the wrong side of the house and I only
hope that he'll vote as often with the
Republicans in the senate as he has
In this council. He is a very young
man and I want to extend to him my
heartiest congratulations for the
splendid vote he polled. He succeeds
two men who were eminently able but
I feel that he will be able to maintain
the record which they have established.
I bespeak for him the best wishes of
his constituents, regardless of party
affiliation, and shall be glad to uphold
anything he may do for tho best In
terests of this district."
Joke on Phillips.
Mr. Phillips, he of the expansive
smile, was the victim of a practical
joke before his letter of resignation had
been read. He had put chased a box of
cigars for general distribution among
the members, but while his back was
turned it was spirited away by Select
Councilman Regan and carried over to
tho select council chamber. Mr. Phil
lips looked everywhere for the missing
box but failed to llnd it nnd was just
on the point of sending1 for another one
when a solemn faced committee of
members from the select branch came
over and presented a resolution.
This resolution extended a general In
vitation to the membeis of the common
council to join the selectmen in a smoke
at the expense of Mr. Phillips, whose
expansive smile tinned into a look of
pxtrpine illsiruL when he honr:l I' i .
olutlon , !- ' t 'ciliiuin Cole-
mpn I' I In the meantime doctored up
two of the cigars by pultlne pieces of
rubber comb Into them, and the gentle
men unfortunate enough to receive
them were councllmen H. E. Paine and
John McHale.
The latter took a few puffs and then
threw a look at Mr. Phillips and said
something warm in a very audible tone
of voice about "a nice kind of clgats to
give out." Mr. Paine looked at his
with distrust after he bad smoked for
a time, but he finished it to the end.

SHOULD BE
PAID YEARLY
OBJECTION RAISED TO $100,000
BOND ORDINANCE.
Select Councilman Quinnnn Held
That the Bonds Should Mature at
Yearly Intervals nnd Cited "Rip
per" Act, but tho Measure Was
Passed Dr. Rogers Israel Re
appointed ns a Library Trustee,
Common Council Wrangle Over Or
dinance Inspector.
The ordinance providing' for the Issu
ance of $100,000 worth of bonds for the
purpose of paying off all Judgments
and other adjudicated clulins outstand
ing against tho city, was passed on
third and final reading- by the select
council last night, despite what seems
to be a serious technical objection
raised by Mr. Qulnnan, and now goes
to tho recorder for his approval.
The ordinance nrovldes for the re
demption of the bonds at live-year In
tervals, but Air. Qulnnan sprung a sec
tion of the "ripper" bill on the coun
cil, which apparently provides for a. re
demption at yearly Intervals. The por
tion of the act In question Is u. part of
Section 1 of Article XI, nnd reads as
follows:
"Whenever any new bonds shall bo
Issued by any of said cities, they shall
be made payable In annual Instalments,
equal to the tax levied therefor, and
shall be paid annually from the funds
so jjrovldf.U."
The members decided to nut tho
question as to whether the ordinance
Is framed in accordance with law up
to Recorder Connell, and passed It on
third readli:.
Recorder Council sent In u. communi
cation appointing Rev. Dr. Rogers
Israel as a number of the b;.md of
library trustees to succeed himself,
und the appointment was unanimously
confirmed.
The following lesolutlons were intro
duced and adopted:
By Mr. Morgan Directing the direc
tor of public works to notify the prop
erty owners on Jackson street, between
Rebecca and Garfield avenues, to put
their sidewalks to a proper grade.
By Air. Maloney Directing the chief
engineer to prepare plans and specifi
cations for a relief sewer on Poplar
street, extending from the Dunmore
line to the Lackawanna river.
Air. Cosgrovp introduced nn ordinance
providing for the erection of an elec
tric light on the corner of Edwards
place and C'osgrove court.
The following ordinances were passed
on third nnd final reading: Providing
for the laying of llagstone sidewalks on
Sixteenth street and Lincoln avenue,
and Increasing the salaries of the city
clerk and his assistant.
IN COMMON COUNCIL.
Quite a little discussion was provoked
in the common council last night when
the ordinance creating the ofllce of or
dinance Inspector and fixing his sal
ary came up on third reading.
Air. Paine objected to the ordinance
because he had no information that the
office was a. necessary one und because
it has been already filled before coun
cils created it. Air. Calpin re-echoed
the last objection though he thought
there was a need for the office.

than replied rather warmly and pointed
out that Mr. Qllllsple, who at present
holds the position, has saved the city
thousands of dollars by devoting his
entire time and attention to the col
lection of sewer and paving assess
ments nnd to keeping a watch so that
no Ileus are ullowed to lapse. The or
dinance was finally passed, only three
votes being recorded ngalnst It,
City .Solicitor Watson sent In nn opin
ion expressing his belief that the direc
tor of public works could go ahead and
build 11 temporary bridge over tho
Roaring Hrook at Ash street without
nn appropriation but suggesting that
It would be better to heed the director's
request for a transfer of funds for that
purpose.
The following ordinances were passed
on third and llnul reading: Providing
for the erection of two eleotrlc lights 111

lights on Meridian street und at tho
