Scranton with its 100000 population
and SO officers Gncluding the chief,
lieutcnants, etcO does not stand very
well in a comparison, especially not
when its great area is considered.
However. the demands of the re-
formers are not at all modest, bur are,
in fact, rather too broad to meet with
very ready remedying. They want %
additional policemen which would in
crease the force to rs, including the
superior officers. This increase togeth-
er with driver for the patrol wagon,
a stable in the rear of the city hall
and the keep of four horses, the num-
her now used in the police department
would require not less than $4,000 per
year. Neither the police nor fire de-
partment bond issue movements, has
attracted the interest and favor that
are attached to the park improvement
plan. There is then the possibility
that the park bond ordinance may so
through councils and the question be
submitted to popular vote without be-
ing linked with the other plans.

The factory inspector Is now enforc-
ing the new law in this city and has
ordered considerable alterations in
number of Scranton bakeshops In ac-
cordance with the sanitary require
ments of the act. Prior to his arrival
in this city Mr.. Griesinger had an in
terview with Chief Factory Inspector
James Campbell at the Windsor hotel
In Philadelphia.
The chief of the factory inspection
department assured the representative
Of the Journeymen Bakers that the
taker-shop law would be enforced
strictly not only In Philadelphia, where
several arrests have already been
made, but also in every city or town
of this state. 1t Is expected that a
large number of Journeymen Bakers
will attend tomorrow nights meeting.

be appropriated for a sewer on that
section of the avenue. 1t developed
that a resolution ordering the street
commissioner to repair the sewer in
question had been passed by council
and is now in the hands of the mayor.
Mr. Vaughn then served notice on coun-
Gil that unless something was done in
the matter suits would be filed by
property owners on both sides as they
had stood the nuisance about as long
as they could.

formed Mr.. Gilroy that Mr.. Graham

The now famous Traction ordinance
granting the Scranton Railway COM
pany the privilege of extending their
lines on certain streets on the West
Side passed third reading in common
council last night. Mr.. Thomas asked
to be excused from voting on the or
dinance as he did not believe it would
be a benefit to the people of the West
Side and knew 1t would be q positive
detriment to some sections. The other
II members present voted in favor of
the ordinance.
Matters were of decidedly slow ma
ture at the meeting and the business
done had that rather uncertain tone
about it which would characterize the
work of very tired body of men. The
reading of the minutes occupied about
20 minutes and the only interesting
section was the account of Tuesday
nights joint session which induced the
Republican members to sit up straight
and listen.

come lost art, Mrs. Burke remarked.
Conversation lessons, conversation

Burke began her lecture on Art" il

people are not having smooth sailing in
regard to the Twin Lakes reservoir.
Their occupancy OF the lakes for reser-
yoir purposes is being contested by few
pabobs who have summer residences on
the lake shore. Lucky accidents in min
ing ventures have enabled them to build
cottages on the lake shore for occupancy
for 80 or 60 days during the summer.
For the brief pleasure Of these few
wealthy men the state land board is
asked to obstruct the improvement of the
lakes for reservoir purposes. That they
and their friends may have swell time,
fancy dress balls, ETC., for few weeks
each summer the land board is asked to
deprive many hundred farmers of homes
and prevent the useful development Of
thousands Of acres OF land. On the one
hand is sentiment and pleasure seeking
on the other, good common sense and III
tdustrial utilization Of land that will
benefit thousands. We can not think
that the land board will adopt rulings
which will greatly hinder the agriculture
OF the valley that q few men may have
cool; pleasant resort during July and
August OF each year. Considering the
great injury which such course would
intlict on the Arkansas valley decision
favorable to the pleasure resort senti
ment would be against public policy and
in tile nature of an outrage.
