COMMITTEE OF ONE HUNDRED.
Its Plans of Economy Presented t,
the City Council.
The Council Adopts Basis of Retrench-
ment Almost as Recommended

The citizens Committee of One Hun
dred met the city council last Monday
evening and submitted report to that
body relating to economy with the re
quest that it be acted upon. The com
mittee represents number of the
heaviest taxpayers of the city and tc
4 that extent has claim upon the attention
of the council.
Sweeping reductions are made in
some departments while all except that
of elective offices are scaled down con
siderably, the elective offices being left
to their own discretion in the cutting
down Of their salaries.
The report contained the f5rl6w7nt
recommendations:
That the South side and the North
side water companies each be reduced
to $500 per month, or a total of sl9,2Ot
per year instead of $4,000 as at present
All irrigators to be discharged for the
year.
The Pueblo Gas and Electric Light
to 50 lights at si1 per month, or a cut oil
of almost half.
That the Citizens Electric Light
and Power Company's contract be re-
duced from 3S to - lights at $3.50 per
month.
That the city hall lights be made to
cost only $3.50 per year.
This would make the lights cost
$4,000 per year as against s27,ss0 as at
present.
The fire department TO be cut down
and entailing sundry menial work on
the members. thereby doing away with
a janitor, II line man and Il sewer fusher,
and the police patrolmen to assist
steamer men when necessary.
Each of the four fire stations. Nos. /,
., 3, and to have three men each and
each to receive a salary Of $50 per
month. This would cut off one man at
stations l.. , and 3, but leave No. A
(Bessemer) as it is with three men.
The appropriation would be made on
a basis of $4,000 instead of $4,000 as
at present.
This would abolish entirely the hook
and ladder concern. letting the men and
team out, and also discharging the
stoker to the steamer.
The total number of men in the fire
department would be 20, and no extra
men appointed unless paid by the person
or persons whose place he takes.
The chief of police to get 81 800 per
annum instead of l,SOO.
The night captain to get 5000 per
annum instead of 81 200.
The police to get s65 instead of s75
per month.
Incidentals to be cut down, making
new appropriation s2l 900 as against
$4,000 as at present.
The three assistants TO the city
engineer were especially recommended
to be cut off after Jan. l next and that
the care of the streets. sidewalks levees.
sewers and parks be placed under the
engineer.
The building inspector. the city
stenographer, street commissioner and
Bessemer city hall janitor also to be
done away with.
No recommendations made relative
to elective offices, that being left to
themselves to adjust.
The several funds as lcvees, grading,
printing and elections etc, were also
recommended to be reduced.

MARCY SUIT TAKES new FORM.
Brings an Action in Trespass to Re-
cover S25o,ooo for Coal That
Has Been Mined.

Following in the wake of the famous
injunction case of tho Lackawanna
Iron and Steel company against the
Scranton Gas and Water company
comes the stupendous trespass suit for
$3.50 600 of William II. Marcy, of Car.
Dondale, against the Hillside Coal and
Iron company. The declaration was
filed yesterday in the Office Of Pro.
thonotary Pryor. Attorneys Joseph
OBrien, of this city; Il. d. Evans,
John r. Lsnahan and Edwin S Osborn,
of Wilkes s-Barre, represent Marcy, and
the law firm Of Willard. Warren and
Knapp are in behalf Of the defendant
coal company. The case will be tried
during the first week of the September
term OF common pleas court and prom
ises to be an unusually conspicuous
one.
In 1874 in Luzerne county at the
commissioners sale of unseated LANDS.
Marcy bought tract of 1872 acres OF
land in Carbondale township. That
was before the land was known to be
underlaid with veins OF coal and there.
fore the value of it was not placed at a
very high figure. However, the com
pany owning the land maintained that
it was an improper proceeding on the
part of the commissioners to set up fol
sale the property as unseated land d,
alleging that the tract was entitled to
classification as seated property.
Not until 1889 did Marcy bring suit
to dispossess the Hillside Coal and Iron
company. Then he began an action
under the right and title conferred
upon him in his deed of purchase
Owing to the indisposition of E. n
Willard at the time the case was con-
tinued from the June term. 1t has
been placed on the docket where it will
be reached in September.
The declaration filed yesterday sets
forth that the defendant company, il
the period from Nov. 90, 1889. TO the
date of the present suit, retained as
profits and revenues from the land il
this tract sum aggregating $4,000
and also that by opening a mine on the
property removed approximately 400,

June is generally supposed to be the
most popular month with brides, and
there is a belief that n greater number
of them make their debut during
June than any other month in the
year The facts do not bear out this
assertion. During June, 1919 marriage
licenses were granted by the clerk of
of the courts of this county. Exactly
the same number were granted in Sep
tember and October last. March has
the lowest record, having only 6? to its
credit, while February is next lowest
with i6 January was the most popu-
lar month during the wear that ended
with June, 13l licenses having been is.
sued during mat month. In June of
last year 1i9 licenses were issued.
