Colonel Sanderson la select council
last night introduced and succeeded in
having passed resolution appropriat-
ing $500 to meet the expense of the
sewer repairs In front of the Wyoming
house and of repairing the Olyphant
road near Capouse where the rains
have made it well nigh impossible.
Common councils idea that before
electing delegates or otherwise apprOv-
ing of the Reading convention called to
revise the laws governing cities of the
third class, that the opinion of all the
third class cities of the state should be
sought as to the necessity of such a
convention, was heartily approved of
by the select branch and the matter was
referred to the judiciary committee for
Investigation. The ordinance repeating
the Providence and Abingdon turnpike
compact was called up for final passage

den II was referred to the special COM
mittee which now has that matter in
charge.

FUNDS FOR THE FRIENDI.ESS.

Another day has failed to bring any
addition to the fund started by The Tri-
bune for the benefit of the Home for the
Friendless. 1t is possible that today's
returns may be more encouraging. The
Home deserves from the generous peo-
pie of this community much in the way
of help, apart even from the new build
ing fund. 1t will be some time before
that structure will be in readiness. The
interval needs looking after. There are
immediate expenses that call for
liberal popular response. In the mean
time, this is The Tribune fund to date:

the visit of the Massachusetts mill
man by negotiating for sites and pre-
pairing in other ways to offer induce
ments at the proper time. The prospect
of locating here simultaneously five
cotton mills is the first opportunity or

bestowed by manufacturers on Scranton

truth of the assertion that this city is
destined on its merits to really rival
the much advertised Niagara power.
