In bis recommendation with refer
cnce TO the polo tax discussion, it is be-
lieved that the mayor has proposed .
compromise which will be fairly ac-
ceptable to all parties interested. In
brief, his proposition is that commit
tee OF councils ascertain the actual
number of really necessary electrical
poles, and that councils, upon that ba-
Bis, pase an ordinance providing for a
tax upon the excess by this method
he thinks that many OF the poles
which now mar tho attractive ap-
pearance Of our streets could be
Rmlcably removed. This plan would,
Of course, require sufficiently heavy
excess tax to render the removal Of the
superhuous poles certainty For that
reason it tshould be virtually prohibit.

and the rapid recent growth of tho less

But ile one reason which is becoming
daily more conspicuous can be traced
back to the multiplication of court
business, which is nowadays largely in
excess Of tho present capacity Of the
court to transact. even when working
overtime and with rsdoublod energy.
There is already abundant labor for
an extra judge in Lackawanna county.
and TINS labor will increase perceptibly
each year. 1t would DO the highest
economy to solve this emergency by
the enactment OF law creating tha
additional Office, and thus rendering
possible swift dispatch OF both civil

lnasmuch as it is necessary to make

confidence that it will yet bo reached,
IN Scranton rs IN all other cities Of
progress. But the mayors plan would
be distinctly b9tter step toward un-
derground wires than would nave been
the ordinance recently inlroIucsd by
Mr.. Browning, for the Obvious reason
that it would interpose 10 obstacle to
more sweeping action at a later stage,
While it would eliminate unnecessary
props, it would not, by licsuaing neces-
sary ones under the oyer-head system,
lead the electrical companies to infer
that so long as they paid their tax they
would be privileged to detaco the
streets at will.
What Scranton wants is an ordinance
that will not tie the hands of the fu-
ture.

Nothing in the message OF Mayor
Connell to councils suggests tn, parti-
san politician or the demagogue.
Everything in it suggests the careful
and progressive man Of business, who
regards his Office as fundamentally a
business trust, requiring close yet lib
eral supervision over each department
Of the city's executive branch and at
times nacessitating frank criticism as
well as candid praise.
Begining with graceful reference
to Scranton's happy immunity from
the critical phases of the recent general
business strinsency, the message re-
n9ws attention TO the city's numerous
industrial advantages, compliments the
energetic work OF the Scranton board
Of trade, renders cordial tribute to the
efficiency Of the various mulicipal de-
partmeuts and proceeds to review tho
detailed work Of these departments in
u manner that exhibits thorough com.
prehenaion of each subject aud high
regard for the best interests OF the
people.
We cannot hope in the brief space at
present. vouchsafed us to follow the
mayor, as We would like, into tine min
utiae Of his message. The message it..
self, elsewhere reprinted complete, will
well repay careful peru;al and preser-
vation. 1t is sufficient here to say that
the document, as whole, is lucid, can
did and to the point No bettor sum-
mary of municipal progress has ever
been sent to councils. We do not see
how better one could be written.
