WAS FIFTEEN YEARS OF AGE.

Editor of The Tribune
Sir:-An article in your paper Of this
date states that Mary Gettie, employed
by the SauQuoit Silk Manufacturing COM
pany. who was killed on the Delaware
and Hudson railroad. would not be 13
years old until July 10 next. This state
ment, while, no doubt, made unintentially,
wrongs the Sauquoit Silk company. but
] suppose you got your information from
the best authority you could.
To set matters right l would state that
we do not employ girls under l3 years
Of age In our factory, as the law COM
pels us TO have an affidavit on file from
all girls under 16 years, sworn TO before
an alderman.
This girls father. Michael Gettie, had
such an affidavit made out on Jan. II.
1896, and its states that Mary Gettie was
born at Olyphant July IA, 1880. which
would leave her IL years. 6 months and z
days Of age at the time the affidavit was
made out: consequently. she would be
nearer 1J years and months at present
than under u years. Her appearance and
size would also indicate that the affidavit
was correct.
write this letter simply to set mat
tiers straight, as the Manufacturing COM
panies have to comply with the law, and
as. no doubt, you got your information
from good authority, you are not to blame
for the statement. william H. Davis.

NOW FOR THE PAVE.

The Scranton Traction company has
at last decided over that much wanted
strip of land on Robinson street. This
was the last obstacle in the way of
the Robinson street pave. The men,
bers of the West Side board of trade
especially A. NJ. Morse ana II. d. Jones.
are greatly elated over the result OF
their endeavOrs. One gentleman said
vast night that the pave would now be
pushed, and as everything has been
taken from its path II seems that the
improvement will rush easily along.
There Is n question as to what style
Of pave will be used. whether brick.
stone. or ashphaltum. Sentiment
seems to favor vitrified brick. AS there
IL so much travel on the thOrOughfare
the board should make no mistake in Its
selection of the material. Stone was
first suggested and 1t was to q petit
tion asking for "a stone pave that the
property owners first signed.
