What few echoes there exists after
Tuesdays election In the Fifth ward
are hardly dying away before active
preparations are set on foot for next
springs ward election. AS in all odd
numbered wards, common council
man and respective ward and district
Offices will be elected. An announce
ment has been made for meeting Of
the candidates in prospect to be held
at Fairchild's hotel next Saturday
evening for the purpose Of selecting a
day upon which the ward caucus shall
be held.
At pi escnt the only indications Of a
fight are for the common coun-
Gil. The present incumbent in the
common branch will, from the present
outlook, have several opponents. At
least three have announced their in
tentions of running and have been more
or less actively engaged in preparing
for the coming fray.
Common Councilman j. II. Walker,
the present incumbent, was elected
two years ago with big majority.
Since his inception in office he has al
ways been active in representing his
constituents. Though n comparative
ly young man both in years and in
holding office, yet already he has prov
ed himself a man possessed of con-
siderable tact and executive ability
He is respected by his fellow members

| tees.
Mr.. Walker is connected with the
| civil engineers office of the Delaware
| Lackawanna and Western railroad
company. Few young men have helC
themselves so modestly when giver
honors of representation. He ha.
heartily supported his colleague in thu
ward and has introduced many i'm
iortant measures of benefit both TO hi
ward and to the city at large.
His opponents are expected to b,
! John +. James, GYilym Jones anC

The heavy downpour OF rain last
night presented another unanswerable
argument why North Scranton should
have n new police station right away.
AS usual during every severe rain
storm the apartments used as police
station became a collecting basin for
sewerage and surface water and when
Patrolman Finley Ross entered the
station house to report for duty he
stepped into a pool of water that was
deep cnuogh to wet him up to the
knees.
II is not an unusual thing for the
station house to contain foot of wat
cr after a severe rain storm. How
unhealthy such q hole must be for the
officers and prisoners requires no very
vivid imagination to picture. One of
Scrantons foulest blots is It's North
Scranton police station and a change
cannot be made any too soon. Why
the councilmen and other city officials
who Visit the place every year ON
their tours of inspection have allowed
it TO exist this long is one of the
things that is far beyond comprehen-
sion. They should lCse no time in wip-
ing out this intolerable nuisance.
