SECOND CLASS CITY.
Legislation and Taxes Committee of
the Board of Trade Considering
the Changes Necessary.

The board of trade committee on
legislation and taxes, which is COM
posed of five of the most prominent
members of the board, namely, Colonel
II. NJ Boies, A. w. Dickson j. Law.
renee Stelle, L. Il. Sturges and James
II. Torrey, met yesterday afternoon
and directed the last named gentleman
to prepare a report on the revision Of
the laws governing second-class cities.
This reoort will be presented for the
consideration Of the board at next
Monday nights meeting,
Mr.. Torrey has long been known as
an expert authority on municipal law
and has made a special study Of the
laws governing second-class cities. He
is especially impressed, as are all the
members of the board, with the urgent
necessity of revising these laws before
scranton goes into the second class
after the next census, and believes that
the matter should be agitated by the
citizens of the city.
One dream which a morning contem-
porary recently INDUCED in was shat
tered by Mr. Torrey at yesterdays
meeting. This dream was that immedi-
ately after the census bureau had an
nounced the population next Decem-
Der. municipal election would be i'm.
mediately held to elect nav city ofic-
ials. Mr.. Torrey produced a Supreme
court decision showing that all munich
pal officials will hold office until the
term for which they We're elected ex-
pires.
In addition to this question. the board
Will discuss a number of other import
ant matters at Monday nights meet
ing. Prominent among these will be
the necessity for giving the citys
streets more care in the way of clean
ing. Several members have been dis
cussing this matter lately and hey VIII
bring it before the board and endeavor
to have a resolution passed defining
the boards position on this matter.
Two other questions which viii Re
discussed are the state merCantile tax
bill passed by the Legislature at it's last
session, and the necessity Of taking
active steps to secure legislation COM
pelling the telegraph and express COM
panies to pay the revenue tax instead

THE FESTIVAL OF PASSOVER.
Services Were Held Last Night in
the Various Synagogues.

Tie Jewish feast of passover COM
menced yesterday at sundown, and was
celebrated with services last evening
in all the synagogues of the city. Rev.
Il. M. Chapman held short service at
the Linden street synagogue, and at
10 o'clock this morning will hold the
joint sabbath and passover services.
\ sermon appropriate to the occasion
will be preached.
This festival is one Of the most inn
pressive and beautiful in the Jewish
calendar. 1t cOmmemOrates the deliv-
erance oc the Jewish people from the
CALLING yoke of Egyptian slavery, and
lasts seven days, of which the first
and last are observed as sacred.
1t derives its name of passover from
the legend that when the angel OF the
Lord went through Egypt Staying the
first born of every family, he passed
over the homes of the Israelites and
spared them alone.
The first night Of Passover is also
marked by pretty home service, at
which all members Of the family are
present and join in celebrating the fes-
tival.

A NEW SHOE FIRM.
Lewis, Ruddy, Davies & Murphy
Have Purchased the Stock of Nor
ris Bros, $50 Lackawanna Ave.
The Opening Tomorrow.

A new shoe store that promises to
be a leader in the trade will be opened
tomorrow at No. $50 Lackawanna ave-
nue..
The firm of Lewis, Ruddy, Davies &,
Murphy have purchased the stock in
trade and good will of Morris Bros,
and propose to conduct an up-to-date
shoe store. carrying a large and varied
stock to please all tastes and all pocket
books
The firm is composed of Miss Mary
Davies, the partner who recently re-
tired from the prosperous shoe firm of
Lewis, Reilly & Davies after twelve
years of experience in the manage
ment of that firm; Miss Margaret
Murphy. who has been clerk in the
store of Lewis, Reilly & Davies since
they commenced business, and has al
ways been highly esteemed by them
and their patrons; Miss Mary Ruddy,
who has been a successful saleslady for
the same firm for several years, and
Miss Annie Lewis, who has also had
some experience in the shoe trade. The
young ladies are all popular and prom
inent with a large following, and it
may readily be seen from the foregoing
that they know the business thorough
ly. They have embarked into this en-
terprise with all their vim and energy,
with a determination to win, and there
is every prospect that they will achieve
a great success
a good omen for the new firm is
that the shoe business has been sue
cessfuly carried on in the building
which they have leased for more than
thirty years. Mr.. S. Morris made a
fortune in it and retired transferring
it to his sons. Simon and William, some
years ago. The young men have been
so successful that they are now re-
firing to enter upon broader enterprises
which will engage their increased cap
ital. -

NEW LICENSE ORDINANCE.
Is Much Simpler Than the One So
Recently Killed.

The license tax ordinance just intro
duced by Common Councilman Calpin
will probably stand much better
chance of getting through councils
than did its ill-fated predecessor, be-
cause it contains a few provisions
only, and because none of the provis-
ions objected to before are included
in it.
In the first place the gross receipts
of the Scranton Railway company are
to be taxed three per cent. in 1901;
four per cent. in 1902, and five per cent.
in 1908 and every year thereafter. All
telephone, steam heating, gas and
water companies doing business in the
city are to be taxed $3.50, year and
express companies 800.
The owners of halls or theaters hav-
ing a capacity of 1000 and over must
pay 800 year, and those owning halls
with a capacity between 500 and 1000
must pay $50, these provisions not to
apply, however, to halls used entirely
by beneficial societies, etc. Advertis-
ing agencies and bill posters are taxed
$25 "a year. These are all of the pro-
visions that touch the citizens of the
city, the rest being directed at travel
ling shows and circuses. The ordin'
ance if passed will not go into effect
until April /, 1901.
1t will be seen that this is far SIM
pier measure than the one recently
killed. The latter provided for the
taxing of auctioneers, pawnbrokers,
lumber dealers, contractors, butchers,
hackmen, hucksters, push cart men,
real estate agents, insurance agents,
and almost every other kind of busi-
ness man, and for this reason was op-
posed by a number of the leading
merchants OF the city who believed
that they We're taxed enough as it
was
