ARGUMENTS ABOUT
TURNPIKE CHAR TER
Made Before Secretary Of the Com
monwealth by City Solicitor Vos-
burg and Attorney Watson.

City Solicitor Vosburg returned yes
terday from Harrisburg, where he rep
resented the city's interests in the
hearing before Secretary Of the Com
monwealth Griest on the city's protest
against the issuing Of u charter to the
Arlington Boulevard company.
The secretary took the matter under
advisement. He was not sure OF his
authority to deal with the question of
law raised by Mr.. Vosburg, but said he
would look into the matter.
If he should decide that he has no
authority to deal with the question OF
law and should ignore the issue of fact
raised by Mr.. Vosburg that the appli-
cation for charter was made in bad
faith, he will undoubtedly grant the
charter. The city could then apply to
the attorney general for writ of quo
warranto to show cause why the char
ter could not be revoked and the 'ques-
ton of law could then be taken up.
This corresponds to the method
adopted by the courts Of this county
when an appeal is filed too late. \
rule is then granted to show cause why
1t should not be stricken from the rec
ords. protest against the applica-
ton OF the Connell Park and Sueed-
way Street Railway company was filed
by the Scranton Railway company, but
as question of law was raised, the
charter was granted and a writ Of quo
warranto granted.
Attorney w. W. Watson, who ap-
peared for the applicants, argued that
that portion Of the turnpike lying with
in the city limits. and known as West
Market street, is not in reality street
of the city but belongs to the turnpike
company. Therefore. he contended, Mr.
Vosburg's argument that no corpora
ton had the right to interfere with the
streets of the city was futile.
Mr.. Vosburg. in reply, pointed out
that the city pays for an electric light
service on the street: that the city
built a bridge, at an expense of $4,000,
across Leach's creek, and that it is
regularly patrolled by the policemen Of
the city.
Attorney Watson presented affidavits
from the township authorities of South
Abingdon township, stating that they
would be unable to take care of the
| road, in case it was condemned, on ac-
count of the lack Of finances. He con-
tended that where turnpike roads have
been condemned in the past they have
been allowed to run without repairing
for years. He claimed that the major
ity of the farmers using the road were
against its condemnation.
