COMMON COUNCIL.

Several weeks ago Common Council
man David Reese of the First ward,
had a resolution passed by councils di-
recting the city engineer to ascertain
the number of miles of trolley wire
suspended within the city limits. Last
night the city engineer reported that
the number of miles of such wire is
29.01 Later in the session Mr.. Reese
presented an ordinance which provides
that each company using the streets
OF the city shall pay an annual tax of
$500 per mile of single track road. This
would mean a tax of $500 per year
for the Scranton Railway company.
The ordinance was referred to a COM
mittee without comment of any kind.
The judiciary committee reported
that Samuel Tanhauser, of All New
York street, has no just claim for dam
ages. The report was adopted. This
report was framed to conform to re-
port made by Building Inspector John
Nelson, who made an examination of
Tanhauser'S residence, which was said
to have been damaged by the negli-
gence of the city.
An ordinance appropriating $500 for
completing the interior furnishing of
the Nay Aug Engine company was re-
ported faVorably. An ordinance pro-
viding $1,000 for painting walls and
re-painting the walls of the interior
of the city hall was also reported
favorably. Both afterwards passed
two readings.
OTHERS REPORTED.
Other ordinances reported upon
favOrably were appropriating $4,000
for improvements in Nay Aug park;
apprOpriating $4O0 for opening Price
street from Sumner to Bromley ave-
nue.; regulating vehicular traffic, de-
Claring certain acts nuisanCes and fix
ing the penalty therefor.
When the report of the Joint audit
ing committee was presented it had
attached to it a request from Joseph
Oliver and f. w. Zzleman that two
fire department bills be considered by
councils. one of them was for put
ting rubber tires on the wagon of
Chief Hickey and the other for repairs
on the William Connell hose wagon
Mr. Oliver asked that the guarantee
under which the chiefs wagon was
built be read. Morris V. Morris wanted
to know If the bills were approved by
the auditing committee and was told
that they were. He thereupon moved
that the bills be ordered paid. This
motion precipitated a lively debate, in
which Mr.. Oliver, Mr.. Wenzel, Mr..
Zizleman, Mr.. Grier, Mr. Keller, Mr..
Coleman and Mr.. Gilroy participated.
Mr., Keller moved that the bill for
rubber tires for the chiefs wagon be
referred to the fire department COM
mittee. This motion was lost and the
motion to pass the bills was then
adopted without further comment.
The action of select council in per-
mitting James Kearney TO take water
from city hydrants for street sprlnkling
purposes was concurred in.
A communication from the city en-
gineer conveyed the information that
there are 1852 miles OF unpaved streets
in this city.
The following new resolutions were
adopted Providing for an electric
