Encampment.
1t has been suggested that call be
issued for meeting of merchants and
business men at city hall for the pur-
pose of discussing the proposed en-
campment and taking some definite
action thereupon, if we hope or expect
to have the regiment here. The sug-
gestlon is quite timely, and it is prob
able that Mayor Fielder will issue such
call for Monday or Tuesday evening
next. Americas must succeed in this
effort. It would mean more to her, in
many respects, than anything she has
yet attempted. The Times Recorder
heartily favors this meeting of the
merchants. a

NEW SEAL FOR THE RECORDER
Seal for the City Has Not Yet Been
Prepared,

The new seal for the recorders Office
was received yesterday. II is the same
design as the old mayors seal, the
centrepiece being a representation OF II
coal breaker and train of cars. Above
this are the words Recorders Office"
and on the outside rim Of the seal these
words appear: "City of Scranton, Penn
sylvania, Incorporated April %. 1866"
The new second-class city seal. which
will be the property of the city clerk,
has not yet been prepared. The rip
per" bill provides in part for the words
that shall appear on 1t, but leaves the
general design to the originality of the
city officials, only providing that 1t
shall be approved by councils before II
becomes the legal seal Of the city.
city Clerk Lavelle is spending some
thought on the nature of the design
that will be placed on the great seal of
the city, and when he has presented
the result of his labors it will undoubt-
edly be very satisfactory.

CONTRACTS NOT LEGAL
Recorder Connell Has Caused Notice
to Be Served Upon Those
WIo Hold Them.

The city is likely to have some liti-
cation on its bands, because of the
contracts entered into by the city dur
ing the time James Moir was recorder.
These contracts We're awarded by the
recorder and the heads of the proper
departments without any authorization
from councils. save that contained in
the appropriation ordinance which
made certain funds available for the
work
When Recorder COnnell entered upon
the duties of his office he took up this
matter and satisfied himself that the
recorder and heads of departments
could not enter into a contract or take
any of the preliminary steps to do so
until councils passed an ordinance di-
rectinC such action. While councils no
longer have the right to advertise for
bids and award contracts, they must
authorize the advertising for bids and
awarding of contracts before it can be
done.
When the recorder reached this con-
clusion he suggested that councils pass
resolutions ratifying the contracts and
making them legal beyond question.
one week ago last Thursday night Sc
lect council refused to pass such a reso-
luton. believing the recorder and other
officials had exceeded their powers and
| followed this up last Thursday night
by passing Il resolution which brushed
the existing contracts aside and direct
ed that new bids be advertised for.
Councils having failed to ratify the
| action taken by Recorder Moir, which
| would have made the contracts legal
beyond question. Recorder COnnell yes
| terday caused notice to be sent tO the
| persons holding these contracts appris-
| ing them of the fact that they are not
legal and requesting that the contracts
| be returned.
| The persons notified were the La.
| France Engine company, which sold q
hook and ladder truck to the city; the
American Fire Engine company, which
| sold a large steamer: the various firms
which sold fire hose, and the news.
| papers which made advertising con,
| tracts.
A portion of the hose solG has alread,
been received by Superintendent Zizle
| mann, of the bureau of fires, accepted
and stored away.
| Those having the contracts will max,
fight to hold the city to the contracts
the men holding fire department con

Solicitor Watson's assurance that tn,
