Will CONTEST THE Claim
Councils Decide Not to Pay the Turn
pike COmpany's Claim.
POSITION THAT THEY TAKE
No Debate Upon Mattcr-Think II VIII BE
Good Thing to Have Dispute Def.
niteIy Settled as Guide In
Similar Affairs.

A joint session of councils last night
decided to contest the claim of $5,3S6.74
of the Providence Turnpike company
against the city.
In 1888 the company agreed to remove
its toll gate from Providence square
to point outside the city line, the city
agreeing to keep in good repair that
portion of the turnpike remaining with
In the city. Nearly $1,000 was expended
by the city during the first two years,
but the company was not satisfied with
the work and claims that $5,3S6.H had ia
be expended to keep the thoroughfare
in good condition. Last year the COM
pany renewed It's demand for the
amount in qestion. Councils demurred
and directed the mayor to secure a
legal opinion on the validity of the
claim. City Solicitor Torrey having
been interested in the case before his
election, the matter was referred to eX-
Judge Jessup who recommended that
the claim be paid.
Nothing was done in the matter, and
as the case is on the trial list for today
Mayor Connell called last nights spe-
clay session for the purpose of taking
steps in the matter. The Turnpike
company's willingness to wait until
April of next year for payment was set
aside and Mr.. Manley's resolution
adopted directing the mayor to engage
new council and request from the court
continuance Of the case. The resolu-
tion provides that the suit shall not be
contested unless the new council dis
putes the validity Of the claim.
The decision of the councils was the
unanimous voice of the fourteen men,
bers present in each branch. There was
no debate upon the matter, as preced-
ing the meeting the members expressed
the opinion that by court the matter
would be settled definitely and the re-
suit would guide the city in further con-
tracts of nature similar to the one in
DISPUTE.

HOnesdale Is Ahead.

Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir. In the Fridays issue of The Trib-
une we notice the statement that the pro-
posed chorus choir for the First Presby-
terian church Of your city Is "a feature
In church music that ia not known out
side Of New York, Philadelphia and other
large cities. A chorus will be
seated on the gallery In the rear of the
church, facing the minister"
The writer of the article seems to have
been misinformed on the subject. In Jus
tice to Honesdale, we would like to men
tion the fact that the First Presbyterian
church Of this place has a chorus choir of
fifty voices, which made It's first appear
ance on Easter Sunday. The organ is sit
uated on the east side of the church, and
the chorus choir Is seated in the gallery
at the south side, opposite the minister.
Although the organ and singers are sep.
arated by no little distance, the harmony
Is pronounced good and mo difficulty is
experienced In keeping together" Since
the chorus choir is new feature" in
your city we invite you to come over here.
and we may be able to give you some
points, So, once again, in respect to
Honesdale, Scranton is willing to adopt
the motto: I'VE follow, but not inferior"
Respectfully yours,
Honesdale, May q, 1856.

final one This year 224 pupils attend
ed the central examinations, and 70 the
final at Liberty hall.
Merit Of the Plan.
The number of graduates last year
was IA, this year 35. Another merit
which Superintendent Taylor thinks
the plan possesses, is Its tendency to
unity teaching in common branches
throughout the county and fix stand
ard by which AL teachers may measure
their work. 1t also calls attention to
neglected branches.
