ESTIMATE MADE
FOR WAThRuORKS
Brief Details of a System
Suited for a Town Of
10000 People.

The petition presented to the
City Council last night by sixty
voters asking for IA election on
the waterworks aud sew erage
questions, was referred back to-
the petitioners for request for
a definite sum for the purposes
stated.
Mr.. j. L McCutcheon, repres-
enting Fairbanks, Morse & Co.,
has provided che city with the
following estimate to cover the
cost II a complete system of
water works as follows:
This estimates provides for
10000 feet Of 8, t. and / inch
mains, with ali their necessary
Ices, bends and angles, screw
end gates, with which tC cut off
the water, when required. Engine
room equipment which includes
in part twenty two horse power
gasoline engine. and one OHIO
triplex pump capable Of handling
about $4,000 gallons Of water per
hour, LOGO feet Of y inch rubber
lined hos and 4 nozels, 30 hy-
Grants, tw, hose carts and four
| AZ gallon fl extirguishers, one
ten inch artesian well, also d
water tower 90 feet high with a
water tank 2OX26 feet diameter,
capable of holding about $4,000
| gallons of water. 4 suitable
building to contain the plant
:25x75 feet. All complete for the
sum of S25, 900.
This plant would have ample
capacity for town twice the popu-
lation of Jennings. With I. water
rate which ought to yield $4,000
aud for service $4,000. Total
s2S7O00, which is more than suf-
ticient to pay both the interest On
the bonds and cost OF operating.
The question then came up in

explanation of his company's
system. Many questions we're
pat by the members OF the coun-
Gil which Mr.. McCutcheon an
swered satisfactorily.

PROPOSED GAS COMPANY
INTENDS TO ASK FOR A CHAR
TER TOMORROW NIGHT.
Those Interested in the New Venture
Say They Have Business Of
fer to Make the City.

An ordinance will be introduced in
select council tomorrow night award
ing a franchise TO the Consumers Gas
company, of whose organization eX-
elusive mention was made in The Trib-
une last Saturday. The ordinance will
give the company the right to lay pipes
on any of the city streets upon which
it may desire TO extend its mains.
The principal stockholders and lead
ing spirits in the new company are
Messrs. \. ]. and L. J. Casey and the
Long brothers. OF the department store
firm of Jonas Longs Sons. The char
ter for the company was applied for
over six months ago, but was not
granted by Secretary of the Common
wealth Griest until about six weeks
ago.
This was on account Of the vigorous
opposition to the granting OF the char
ter displayed by the Scranton Gas and
Water company. There were several
hearings in the matter before the Sec
retary. The Scranton company claimed
that its franchise gave It exclusive
right to the streets of this city, as far
as the laying Of gas and water pipes
was concerned, but Secretary Griest
didn't look at 1t that way.
The company will voluntarily make
certain offers in connection with the
asking for q franchise. which it's Or
ganizers believe will put both the pub
lie and the council on its side and
make the passing of the ordinance q
certainty. One Of the men interested
in the new company would not state
last night what these offers were, but
he intimated that one of them would
be guarantee to furnish gas at n
figure greatly below the price charged
by the present company.
1.-THE new company will furnish
cheaper and better gas" said he,
"than that nov furnished by the
Scranton Gas and Water company.
How much cheaper, We are not pre-
pared To say just now, but our price
will be considerably below the pres ant
figure. We will furnish better gas
because we will establish an entirely
new plant, equipped TO manufacture
gas by one of several mere improve
methods than the one used by tie
present company.
1--WE expect to be able TO secure our
franchise solely upon the merits of the
proposition which we will make to the
city. We believe that the situation is
ripe for competition in the gas bust
ness ard We believe that the public Will
be with us. If the franchise is granted
we will begin the work of laying our
mains and erecting our plant at once
and it will be pushed to rapid COM
pletion."
The Scranton Gas and Water COM
pany today reduces It's price for gas
from $40 TO 81, so that the "dollaI
gas" which the people OF other cities
are fighting for, is now q reality IN
! Scranton.

TOELECTTHREE MEMBERS
JOINT SESSION OF COUNCILS TO.
MORROW NIGHT.
To Fill Vacancies on the Board of
Revision and Appeals Caused by
the Recent designations.

Both branches of councils meet in
joint session tomorrow night to elect
successors to eX-Councilmen Simon
Thomas, d. II. Reese and NJ. V. Nor
ris on the board of revision OF taxes
and appeals, and speculation Is rife as
to who will win out
The candidates who are actively In
the field, as far as can be learned, are
o. Il. Wright, David owens, r.. q.
Hughes and Common Councilman +. j.
Coleman. The fact that only one coun-
Gilman Is mentioned may be taken IA
a sure indication that there are
others" An election to fill vacancies
on this board has never been held yet
in which the fight for the places didn't
lie principally between the members OF
councils themselves, and it Is believed
that this year there will be no eXcep-
tion to the general rule.
A great difference Of opinion exists
among the leading members of coun-
ellis as to whether the vacancies on the
hoard should be filed. Some go so far
as to assert that they cannot be filled
under the law. This Is because under
existing second-class city laws there Is
no provision for such a board. The
general act provides that all appeals
shall be heard by the board OF assess
ors.
Those who oppose the election con-
tend that Scranton is now a city of the
second class, and that while we act
under thlrd-class city laws until April
l, no vacancy in an office provided for
under the third-class city act can be
filed after the governors official proc
lamation has been issued. providing
such an Office is abolished by the sec
| ond-class city charter.
Those who favor the election main
| tain that it Is absolutely essential that
! the vacancies be filled before April l,
| in order that appeals on the triennial
assessment just completed may be
| heard in time to have the tax dupli-
Gates issued in proper season. To wait
| until after April l, they maintain,
| would prevent the city from collecting
| taxes for two months.
The ripper" bill, now pending before
| the legislature at Harrisburg. contains
| no provision for q board of revision
| and appeal, nor does 1t provide that
| the assessors shall hear appeals. After
briefly outlining the duties of the as
SCISSORS. it says: 1.-The councils shall by
! ordinance make all further needful
| rules and regulations for the govern
ment OF the department of assessors"
II is understood that this provision
| gives councils complete power to say
whether appeals shall be heard by a
board or by the assessors. and If the
| former Is decided. to create such a
