PAVEMENT A POSSIBILITY.
Girard Construction Company About
Ready to Begin Work.

There now appears to be Il faint pos
sibility that the North Main avenue
and Providence road paving will be
commenced in the course of few
weeks. The street car company and
the paving contractor the Girard Con-
struction company, are comforting in
regard to the paving between the
tracks, and when they reach a salts
factory agreement the paving company
will call upon the city engineer for the
signal to begin operations.
The street car company wanted to
do its own paving, but the city en-
gineer opposed this on the grounds that
it would cause too much inconveni-
ence to travel to have two parties
working on the street at the same time
and again, that if two companies did
the work there would be two seams in
the concrete, all of which could be
avoided If one party did the work.

Heard Before Arbitrators.

The case of William Dunn against
Jurisch & Company was heard yester-
day before Arbitrators Clarence Bal
lentine, b. f. TinEham and George l..
Peck. The plaintiff claimed damages
for the taking of his bicycle from him,
which he had previously purchased
from the defendants. The defendants
contended that they had a right to
take his bicycle, because the plaintiff
was in default in his payments under
a lien with them.
To this the plaintiff replied that he
was a minor and not bound by con-
tract, as a bicycle is not a necessity
in the eyes of the law. This view
of the case was adopted by the ar
bitrators, who found an award of $50
in favor of the plaintiff.
The defendants were represented by
r. A. Zimmerman, esq, and Attorney
A. A, Nosburg appeared for the plain
tiff

There was a hearing before Referee
c. T.. Oliver yesterday in the ejectment
case of Randolph Crippen against the
city of Scranton. Mr.. Crippen owns
the Bristol house property at Provi-
dence square and he also claims to own
a strip of land about 30x70 feet in size
In front of the hotel which is now used
as a roadway.
Years ago, when this valley was al
most a wilderness, a tavern was built
at the intersection of the Carbondale
and Wilkes Barre and the Philadelphia
and Great Bend turnpikes. AS was the
custom at that time, the tavern was
set back some distance from the turn
pixies to give sufficient room for teams
to stand and turn around.
The tavern by various processes of
evolution became the Bristol house as
1t stands today and the space in front
Of it has continued to be used by the
public. For years there has not been
the same need to leave horses and
wagons stand in front of the building
that existed when the tavern was built
and as a result the space has been
used for general highway purposes.
Several years ago Mr.. Crippen began
the erection of fence out on the line
of the old turnpike, but was restrained
from doing so and subsequently began
an action in eiectment to determine
the question of ownership of the land
in question. 1t was this suit that was
heard before Referee Oliver yesterday.
Only record testimony on the part of
the plaintiff was offered in evidence
yesterday. Title from the common
wealth down to Randolph Crippen for
the land in question was established.
At the further hearings to be held evil
dence will be offered to show that the
width of the turnpike was originally
only fifty feet from what is now the
south curb line of West Market street.
The citys position is that the land
in question has been used as public
road for over a quarter of a century
and that it is therefore the property
of the public. The answer of the plain
| tiff to this is that the possession of the
| city was not exclusive or adverse. II
was merely a permissive use of the
| land for the advantage of the owner
| as well as the public. The plaintiff is
| represented by Attorneys |. II. Burns
| and II. NJ. Hannah and the defendant
| by City Solicitor Nosburg.

Mrs. Swartz, who occupied the upper

NEWTON WILL HELP US OUT.
Neighboring Municipality Offers to
Repair a Scranton Street.

Despairing of the city ever doing
the thing of it's own accord, the far
mers of Newton have come forward
with a proposition to repair Jackson
street between the Keyser Valley
tracks and the toll gate, providing the
city will contribute $3.50 to buy the ma
terial. They will come on with their
teams and help and put the road in
frst-class condition. At present il is
barely passable.
Mayor Moir will recommend to coun-
ellis that the offer be accepted.
