SUPT. LOOMS ARRIVES.
New Head of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western Coal and
Land Department Assumes
Office Today.

L. L. Loomis, former superintendent
of the New York, Susquehanna and
Western company, arrived here last
evening to succeed w. r. Storrs as
general coal agent of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western company.
Under the official order announcing his
appointment, Mr.. Loomis is given the
title of superintendent of coal min
ing properties" The office of assistant
general agent is abolished
Mr.. Loomis is stopping at the Jer-
myn. lie is a young man of pleasant
address, and strikes one at the very
first glance as being possessed of no
limit of force and energy.
To a Tribune reporter, who sought
an interview as to the policy he will
observe in conducting the important
and extensive duties of his new office,
he would only say at present that he
intended to apply to the department
the aggressive methods that have char
acterlzed railroad management during
the past decade and hoped in q short
time to have it thoroughly reorganized
along these lines.
Referring to the newspaper stories
that there was to be general disturb
land department upon the arrival OF
the new general agent, Mr.. Loomis
said: II am not here after scalps. Re-
suits are what 1 want"
The headquarters Of the department
will remain in Scranton, Mr.. Loomis
stated

are not merely repair shops, as for
merly, which latter, under the law, are
exempt.
DECLARED OUT OF ORDER
Chairman williams put an end to the
discussion by declaring the resolution
out of order on Mr.. Coyne's point, that
the shops had not as yet been built
and therefore could not be exempted.
A resolution by Mr.. Chittenden ex-
onerating the Young Mems Christian
association from taxes on its property
on Wyoming avenue for the time elaps-
ing since the fire, was also opposed by
Mr.. Wagner and referred to commit
tee. Under the law, Mr.. Chittenden ex-
planned, property used for charitable
purposes Is exempt from taxation. Be-
fore the fire the Y. NJ. G. A. was ex-
empt from assessment on such por-
tions Of its building as was not earn
ing a revenue. There is no revenue
being derived now from the property
and 1t could be granted, Mr.. Chltten-
den argued, that 1t should be exempted
as the property of a charitable organ
ization, not earning revenue. He was
| not opposed to having the matter re-
ferred.
A notice from Controller Howell not
ing that the fire department commit
tee had contracted bills to the amount
Of $452 for furniture for the Crystal
| Hose house without providing funds for
| their payment brought from Mr.. Chit
| tenden strong condemnation of the
| practice of the committee in contract
| ing bills and the contention that 1t
was an open source of fraud. The
| chief of the department, he argued,
should be alone empowered to contract
| bills.
| Mr.. Mccain thought the Dnls were
| excessive. Mr.. Sanderson and Mr..
Lansing thought it was unusual for the
| councils to be called upon to pay for
| furniture for the fire companies par
| lors, having understood that the COM
| panies looked after these expenses
themselves. Mr.. Finn said it was
neither unusual nor unjust and also
defended the present system of having
the fire department committee empow-
| cred to contract bills.
| Ordinances were introduced creating
the office of park policeman and fixing
his salary at $75; providing for lat
eral sewer on Washington avenue, be-
tween New York and Marion streets
and transferring $3.50 from ,..e appro-
priation for electric lights to Fifth
ward sewer repairs.
The ordinance for asphaltng Clay
avenue, between Vine and Myrtle
street, passed first and second read
| ing.
Ordinances passed on third reading
transferring S279 to the item for Eigh-
teenth ward street repairs and direct
ing that all revenues at the park be
devoted to park purposes
on account Of a defect, the ordinance
for an additional man at the HOOK
and Ladder house was ruled out OF
order on third reading.
The resolution to pay the bill of sS'
for the printing of Mayor Bailey!
messages was killed.
The bond of Building Inspector Jack
son was approved and he is qualified
to enter upon the office.

AN ADDITION is NEEDED.
Lackawanna Hospital Directors Will
Meet Tomorrow,

The directors of the Lackawanna
hospital will hold meeting tomorrow
morning for the purpose of discussing
the question of building an addition to
relieve the over-crowded condition of
the institution.
There is sufficient space on the north
side of the hospital to build the addi-
tion, but If that is done there will not
be much room between the new build
ing and the adjoining property. 1t is
estimated that the addition will cost
upwards of $30,000 and. as the money
is not in sight, there is some specula-
tion as to what the directors will do.

SPECIMENS OF PUPILS wORl


There were many essays on exhibit

the pupils. They are beautifully writ

Here is one by Charles L. Clark, of
this city, who is in the class in Eng

After the battle of Hastings William
the Conqueror brought many Normans
and working men and the Norman GUS
toms were introduced into England.
The Norman working men built many
castles and buildings Among the famous
buildings is London Tower 1t was built

In conclusion, he again urges the
councils to adopt some remedial meas
ures looking to an actual appropriation
Of funds for the work.
A communication was received from
Mayor Moir urging the enforcement of
the old special license ordinances and
| suggesting that the matter be referred
to a special committee that the ordi-
nances might be made to fit the
changed conditions. The request was
granted and Chairman Williams named
Messrs Sanderson, Chittenden and Mel
vim as the special committee.
A resolution was introduced by Mr.
Chittenden empowering the mayor tC

assessments to a nominal figure on any
