q DIM E a DAY.
What This insignificant Sum Will Do
When Properly Managed.

What This insignificant Sum Will Do
When Properly Managed.
A dime is not n particularly large
sum of money and not much can be
accomplished with it, A great many
people think nothing of spending many
dimes every day for cigars or other
luxuries that they could just as well
get along without. and such expsndi.
lures are usually made with the
mental apology that "it is only dime
after all.
But small as is the little silver piece
and Insignificant as are its apparent
possibilities yet when properly man
aged it may be made to procure one of
those levers which move the world.
Many people expend thousands of dol
lars upon their own or their children's
education, and it has come about that
an education is regarded as one of the
costly luxuries only to be attained by
the wealthy.
This il an erroneous idea, as will he
demonstrated, and it will furthermore
be shown that for the insignificant sum
of a dime, put away daily for short
time in the savings bank furnished by
THE TRIBUNE, anyone may obtain pos.
session of an epitome of all the knowl.
edge Of the wisest men in the world
This may look like an exaggsration,
but it is literally true.
Everybody knows what the Encyclo-
pedia Britannica is 1t is Il collection
of articles upon every imaginable topic
under the sun, written by scholars and
students of the highest rank. 1t cost
millions of dollars to gather this infor.
nation and pnt it into available shape
and until recently it has only been pos.
sible for people of ample means to take
advantage of this unsqualied reservoir
of knowledge.
But now The TRIBUNE has stepped
into the educational arena and put
within the reach of its subscribers the
entire magnificent set of twenty five
volumes, supplemented to date, at 4
price less than one-fourth heretofore
asked. Aud more than that, it has ar
ranged matters so that for a single
dime put away daily anyone may
obtain possession of this great work,
and thus have at command the best
education that can be conceived.
If you cannot call during the day,
come Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday
evenings. This offer must necessarily
close in short time. Do not delay
but settle the matter to your own mind
at once by ordering set.

West SIDE VIADUCT.
Special Committee Meets and Discusses Plans
for Its Erection.
COMPANIES TO Be ASKED TO help
1t Is Proposed to Build a Bridge
Thirty-Four Feet Wide from Sew
enth Street to Ninth Street for
$35, ,ooo-Committee Will Wait on
Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern and the Scranton Traction
CompanY.

The committee appointed by coun.
ellis to consider the question OF a via
duct over the Delaware, Lackawauna
and Western crossing on West Lacka-
wanna avenue met last evening in the
city engineers Office and discussed va
rious plans. There were present Mayor
Connell, City Engineer Phillips, Select
Councilmen f. H. Clemons, James
Manley and Common Couuoilmeu I. B
Howe and T. Ellsworth Davies.
City Engineer Phillips submitted
plans foa y viaduct from Seventh to
Ninth streets. IL is proposed to make
this viaduct with roadway twenty
two feet wide, two sidewalks, each six
feet wide. ana double street Car tracks
1t is also proposed to pave the road
way from Seventh street to the cross
ing and from the opposite side of the
crossing to Ninth street with vitrifed
brick on six inch bottom of concrete
Over the tracks will be double floor
ing, or what is known as regular
flooring of twenty inch plank with a
surface Of three inch plank.
COST OF PROPOSED STRUCTURE.
The plans discussed last evening
We're all good and the cost will be less
than s95. 900 1t is proposed to ask the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad and the Scranton Traction com.
pany to bear share of the expsnse Of
building the viaduct. Each of the com.
panies will be asked to contribute
one third of the cost and the city will
stand the other third Mayor Connell,
City Rngineer Phillips aud T. Ellsworth
Davies, were appointed a sub-commit.
tee to call on the representatives of
both companies and see what they will
do regarding the proposition.
Councilman Davies stated that the
same plan was now in use in Reading
and also in Harrisburg, and that it
gave excellent satisfaction at both
places. The proposed plan will not
interfere with the business places on
that portion of the avenue, as they
will have access to the present road
way just the same. The viaduct
would be built upon iron trussss the
same as the elevated railroads, leaving
plenty of roadway beneath the via
duct.

in BUILDING TRADES
The Year 1893 Was a Very Poor One for
Mechanics.
A DECREASE OF ss,OOO,OOO
Permits That We're Issued in the
Month of December-A Revival in
Business Looked For-The Reasons
as Advanced by Building Inspector
John Nelson.

Building inspector John Nelson is
very busy man these days, but he took
few minutes yesterday afternoon, and
answered some questions put TO him
by TRIBUNE reporter. The substance
of his conversation will be found in the
subjoined narrative.
The total cost of the buildings for
which permits were issued last month
will not exceed $50. 900 and do not
compare favorably with the report of
tho corresponding month of last year
when the total value represented by
the permits issued was 1896. 900. 1t ia.
however, fair average month for the
work done during the year, the season
heing the dullest experienced by
builders in some time
For example. the sum total Of all
buildings erected during 1893 is only
1915, 900, while for the preceding year
the total was 1875, 48G, last year thus
showing a decrease OF more than 49,
600, 900.
PERMITS ISSUED IN DECEMBER.
Although the permits issued in De.
cembSr show only cost value Of $780,
900, still it will be seen that it is above
the average for the months Of the year
that it closed The permits issued
during the month were as follows:
Cooper and Davis, four frame buildings,
Twenty-tirst ward.
George Senker, two frame buildings,
Twenty-first ward.
E, A. Clark, frame building, Fourth

PROSPECTS, FOR 1894
1t is generally believed that the year
1894 will see revival in the building
trades. The resumption of work in
the various industries in this city as
we'll as in the country at large, will
have the effect Of restoring confidence
and many persons who hesitated,
dreading the future, will 60 right on
and award their contracts.
II look for brisk year in the build
ing trades, said Inspector Nelson to a
TRIBUNE reporter. During the past
two years it has been very easy to OBJ.
tain desirable houses in any part Of
the city. TO let signs being numer-
Gus. Now thesa placsrds are rarely
seen and there are very few houses un D..
tenanted. More houses have to be
built to accommodate the people and
expect to sse propsrtyholders set about
it right away"
