THE MONEY WILL BE HELD
County Treasurer Scranton to Hold
$3.50 of $l,1OO Licenses Fee
Pending Courts Decision.

one more license FOR the cily Of
Scranton was taken out yesterday. The
man who paid over the sl.lOO was John
B. Davis. of the sixth ward.
An agreement was reached yester-
lay with County Treasurer ]. A. Scran-
ton. by which he agrees to consider
$3.50 of the license money as paid un-
der protest. This he will not distribute
until there is a decision from the ap-
pellate court on the subject, if he can
possibly hold the money for that
length of time. If the decision was
long delayed and the city, county and
state should press for their share of
the license money, he would be COM
PEELED to make distribution. but that
contingency is not likely to arise.
Mr. Scranton refused to sign a paper
agreeing to hold half Of the license
money, pending the decision of the Su-
perior court, on the ground that he is
merely the agent of the city, county
and state in handling the license
money and would have no power to
make such an agreement.
Saturday is the last day under the
law for taking out the licenses and
those who do not secure them before
the close of business that day may
have difficulty In getting them latet,
Only three of the 255 licenses granted
have been taken out up TO date.

proposition of Rev. Father Phillips to
send a committee To New York TO get
