feet of a fall which Mrs. Zerfass sus-
tanned one week ago Wednesday. She
slipped on a particle of ice on the front
porch of her residence and the shock
brought on long period of intermit-
tent commissions. Her advanced age
made the attack more dangerous and
death was expected at any moment
since the accident. Mrs. Zerfass was
well known on the West Side. She
came here thirteen years ago and has
made many friends in that time. She

Joseph p. Phillips,
City Engineer.
The expenditure of this sum of money
shows for itself in the great and perma-
nent improvement Of the city's streets and
the cty's sewer system. There are still
many places, however, which require
your attention | am pleased to observe
that North Main avenue is at last in a
fair way to be made presentable and pass
able. Several streets on the South Side
also stand in need of immediate and lib
eral attention l would in this connec-
tion, call to your notice the advisability
of providing some good and permanent
method of designating the city's streets.
l was favorably impressed by the plan
which | observed in Buffalo. There an
iron post was placed at every intersection
of two or more streets and this bore the
several names of the streets and indi-
Gated the direction in which they run.
The old signs which We're tackled on hous-
es and barns at the several street inter-
sections in this city are now, in many
cases, either effaced or altogether de-
stroyed. The advantages of permanent
and tasteful signs are obvious.
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
The police department of the city of
Scranton is working under many and
great difficulties, but it is nevertheless
doing excellent work. 1t Is unjust to
require from so small force as that of
ours a perfect policing of this great city
1t is a matter of fact that only about
thirty patrolmen in all are available for
night patrol service and that we have
no detectives and no reserve force. That
the peace and morals of the city should
under these circumstances be so well pre-
served is as much cause for wonder as for
congratulatiOn. / earnestly urge upon you
the Importance and necessity of incEeas-
ing the police force to number which
will be at once creditable to the city and
an adequate protection to our citizens.
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The Iire department under Chief Hick-
| ey's capable direction is harmonious and
| doing good work. The firemen of this
| city both paid men and volunteers, are
| certainly entitled to the apprecative con-
| sideration of every citizen of Scranton,
Many fires which might have resulted
| disastrously have, after gallant efforts,
! been brought under control. The said sec
ton of the Scranton fire department is
! composed of twenty five men, viz: one
| chemical engineer two hose men and
| twenty-five permanent men distributed
among the several companies, The vol
unteer section consists of six assistant
| chiefs and 400 men. The apparatus con-
! sists of one chemical engine, one hook
and ladder truck, five steamers, three IN
| good and two in bad condition, eight hose
carriages, four in good, three in poor con-
dition and one totally unfit for service, six
