CITY OFFICIALS CRITICIZED.


Few things which particularly affect
West Scranton residents have 80 agi-
tated the people on this side recently
as has the recent official action of
transferring the Columbia chemical APP
paratus from it's quarters on this side
to the Nay Aug Engine house in the
central city.
Though it is very evident that such
action was warranted, yet feeling
exists that the West Side has been Grip
pied. There seems to lie the suspicion
that the tranrfcr may be a permanent
one and probably this is the real source
Of the opposition spirit.
City officials explain that the trans
fer is not permanent. The Phoenix
Chemical company No. 1 apparatus is
being repaired as a result of COLI
sion on the morning of May 10. When
the apparatus was taken out of SER
vice to make these repairs, some sub
stitution Of a similar kind was ahso-
lutely necessary. No other course than
the one taken was available and if the
need of a chemical apparatus is great
in West Scranton that need is trebled
in the central city.
Much comfort can be gained from
the need which made this necessary.
1t is now markedly shown that the
department should be possessed of an
other chemical apparatus.
While the fire protection necessities
of this side are being considered, it
might be mentionable that they may
he increased soon. Between SHETLAND
street and Bulls Head in North Scran-
ton, there is along North Main avenue
a large unprotected section Of residcn-
tial territory. The nearest available
companies are the Franklns and the
EXCelsiors, six blocks distant. Another
hose company is thus seen to be a nee
essity.
An available fire company building
site appears in connection with plans
now underway to cover the exposed
portion Of the Mt Pleasant ravine. In
time the filling-in process will make
a good sized lot available at a very
desirable point for a fire company. The
land at present is controlled by the
Pettbone estate, but could, no doubt,
be secured on a reasonable basis. a
modern style hose house could be
erected there.

cidents yesterday which will contine
them to their homes for some time.
The most serious one of the two was
that which befel Frank Price, of Will
liam street at the Driving Park.
Price was going at n high rate of
speed when the rim of the front wheel
collapsed, hurting him against the
fence. His friends had not witnessed
the accident and We're awaiting his APP
pearance at the grand stand when they
We're apprised Of the accident by an
other wheelman. They quickly hast
ened to the spot and found Price un-
conscious.
Or. jenkins was near at hand and
administered rcstoratives. Price quick
ly revived and was conveyed in car
riagc to his home. His injuries COM
prise wounds about the head, bruises
on the body and a badly wrenched leg.
The other accident befell William
Morris, of Breaker street, who, like
Price, was testing his speed. The
cement which holds the tire to the rim
gave way and threw him to the ground.
His face was badly scratched and he
also received bruises about the chest.
