belongs, namely, in the Legislative depart
ment; promising the citizens of Scranton
that If your honorable bodies will pass
proper legislation, this department Will
see to II that this nuisance Is abolished.
The ordinance known as the nuisance
ordinance, in Torrey's laws and ordi-
nances, has proved conclusively from the
experience that we have had during the
past year In attempting it's enforcement,
that many of its provisions are Illegal.
j would therefore suggest that this or
dinance be referred to the city solicitor
with instructions to eliminate those por-
tions which cannot be enforced and re-
construct said ordinance so that 1t will be
IN harmony with the laws of the state of
Pennsylvania.
Growing Cost Of City Lights.
desire to call the attention of the honL
orable councils to the increased cost of our
electric lighting. In 1886 with resources
OF $l55,0O0, the cost of lighting the city
was $S,40O or about per cent. of our total
revenue. In 1895 with resources of $277 900,
the councils have provided for an eXpen-
diture or N3i3O for electric lighting, or
about l0la per cent. of the city's revenue.
The city Is now paying out for lighting
purposes all that 1t can consistently af-
ford to, and / trust that the honorable
councils VIII not permit the passage of
any legislation contemplating an addition
al expense to the city through this item.
| would also mention to your honorable
bodies that the regular annual increase in
The cost of our electric street lights. as in
dicated by the figures quoted above, would
suggest that discussion as to the feasi-
bility of the city owning and operating
Its own plant, would be entirely in order
in the very near future.
In conclusion l wish to thank the hon
orable councils Of the past year for the
courtesy which has been SO uniformly eX-
tended to me, and also to express my ap-
probation to the heads of the several de-
partments for the support and valuable
assistance in the discharge of my duties

Our Badly Paved Streets.

The wisdom of the suggestion made to
the honorable councils in my last annual
message as to the advisability of the APP
pointment of two assistants for the street
commissioners department, and the ap-
propriating of the entire amount used
for street purposes to that department
has been clearly shown by the deplora BILE
condition of our unpaved streets. There is
no city in the United States of 100000 in
habitants of the business and Industrial |
Importance of the city of Scranton, in
which its citizens have more reason to
complain as to the condition of its streets
and highways. We have always prided
ourselves upon the enterprise and energy
we have shown in every mart of trade
and we have heralded our name as tho
Electric City throughout the country, as
synonymous with progress and improve
ment but today we are held up to public
rldicule as to the condition of our unpaved

FIGURE G.

The only similarity in the address of "Mrs.
Noble" on the wrapper to the writing OF Dr.
Gibson is that the address is print, and DR..
Gibson's writing very much resembles print.
There is no Characteristic in the address that
bears the least resemblance to DR.. Gibson's
handwriting.
Did Durrant ever in the presence of DR.. Glib
son initiate the doctors handwriting? was
asked.
But no answer was vouchsafed to this.
Do you believe the address was written to
initiate the handwriting of DR.. Gibson?
No, / don't think il was. But ii would be
very easy 10 initiate the doctors writing, as II
is so exceedingly plain.
Mr.. Gibson was then asked IL he would
write the names of George X. King and
Professor Schernstern, SO as 10 permit OF
comparison being made in THE CALL with
fhcse that appeared OF The newspaper in
Eaa.-=.ss - EaaE= =. -. x7..l-L
This request was refused, with the prom
Use that IL might be granted later. II was
suggested that now. when suspicion had
been newly cast upon Mr.. Gibson, would
be the most appropriate time TO do this, so
