The property includes the house they
lived in and another one which brings
$50 q month rent.

that there is no connection whatever

been ordered to use the full name of
their order always.

And the undersigned further represent
that the city councils cannot be justified
in placing a greater burden upon one cor
poration than is placed upon another en-
gagged in giving TO the public the same
service. Special privileges for the pur-
pose of giving one corporation or one
class of business a preference over an
other of the same class is abhorrent, ana
the undersigned respectfully request that
such shall not be done in regard to tele-
phone service.
The undersigned desire also to call the
attention of councils to the section of
the ordinance providing for the giving Of
bond, because they see no reason why
the approval Of said bond should be by
other parties than Is provided in the or
dnance granting certain privileges to the

BRIDGE MASONRY TESTED.
Mortar Soaked in Water Three Years
Retnins Its Strength.

A test made yesterday by City En-
gineer Phillips indicates that the ma
snnry of the Linden street and South
Side bridges is in a remarkably good
state of preservation.
When the abutmcnts We're being
erected three years ago this month
briguettes were moulded from the sand
and cement mixture of mortar used by
Nlulherin & Judge on the two struc-
lures. After the briquettes had hard
ened they were placed in water and
have been kept submerged since May,
1895.
When the briquettes were broken yes
terday they showed an average tensile
resistance of about 500 pounds TO the
suuare inch, no less than was required

THE LEGALITY QUESTIONED.
Committee of Common Council
Couldn't Reach Decision.

The license committee Of common
council last evening made an unsuc-
cessful effort to reach a conclusion on
the ordinance recently introduced, i'm
posing a tax on the Scranton Railway
tracks. Only three members of the
committee, Messrs, Wenzel, GritJiths
and Cusick We're present.
The ordinance provides an annual tax
of 5000 for each two rails per mile.
which would impose 5000 per mile where
double tracks are laid. 1t is held by
some city officials that the tax would
be illegal in its confliction with the
franchises under which the company
is now operating. IN the absence of an
opinion by the city solicitor, who has
been asked to enlighten councils on the
subject, the committee adjourned to
meet Immediately preceding the meet
ing of common council tonight.
