with the resolution of, common council
providing that the city clerk advertise
for proposals to light the municipal
building and fire company houses. The
company in its petition reminds coun-
ellis that when it secured its franchise
it agreed to light only the city offices
and three fire company houses, total
of seventy-two lights, but that now 1t
furnishes free to the city 500 lights ana
illumination in six fire company
houses.
The company cites the present condi-
tlon as unjust and mentions recent
franchises given the Suburban Electric
Light company and the Scranton Light
Heat and Power company, from which
companies the city receives no returns.
The petition presents the company's
willingness to furnish all the lights it
originally agreed to furnish and to pay
its pole tax of 5000 or submit to any
other fair arrangement with the city.
Considerable minor business was
transacted before adjournment.

Minooka Annexation Meets with Favor
in That Body.
The project to annex a portion of
Lackawanna township to the city in
cited a good deal of oratory at last
nights meeting of the common council.
The matter came up when Chairman
Hickey, of the judiciary committee,
presented a report favorable to the an
neXation of the territory. Captain
Moir opposed the adoption of the re-
port. He was member of the commit
tee, but refused to sign the report
though not from any sinister motive.
He thought that the matter should be
carefully considered by councils, as it
would necessltate the outlay of a great
deal of money on the part of the city
to give the territory to be annexed the
same conveniences and protection en-
joyed by other parts of the city.
Il. f. Robathan and Fred Godfrey
opposed the annexation on the ground
of the great expense to the city. They
did not think the time was yet ripe for
such an extension of the boundaries of
Scranton.
