was held in Ivorite hall last evening,

entertainment, speeches and refresh
ments provided were excellent anu
thoroughly enjoyed by all present.
Mayor Mor acted as chairman, and
injected considerable humor into his
remarks during the evening. City
Solicitor Vosburg spoke of Scranton as
a city of the second class and said that
all we now lack Is the official document
from the governor to proclaim us In
the second class. He told of the
changes in the municipal government
that will necessarily come with the
change, and predicted that it will open
up a new era for Scranton.
The increased population will add
greatly to the interest of the city both
at home and abroad. and while the
results may be confusing at first, all
the men chosen in the change fop pub
lie office will undoubtedly fulfill the
highest duties of citizenship for the
public good and welfare.
When Mr. Vosburg had concluded his
remarks Mayor Moir took occasion to
say some things. He spoke encourage
ingly of the change soon to be made
in the municipal government and ad-
vised young men to study government,
especially municipal government.
THE city ought, and will, own it's
own water utilities, as they rightfully
belong to the city," he said, land West
Scranton ought to send good men to
take hand in the city government.
The president of the water company
has the city in his fist and can crush
it if he sees fit
His honor abruptly terminated his
remarks just when his hearers expected
him to drift into a more lengthy dis
cussion of the water question, and
called upon Llewelyn Jones and Clar-
Florey to sing a duet. They rendered
'Larboard Watch Ahoy" in pleasing
manner
