Proposed Trolley Road.

The following interview has beer
given out by a gentleman who is in
terested in the scheme to build q troll
ley road from WilkesBarre to Ha-
zleton:
''rhc line will positively be con-
structcd and from present indications
there is no reason why 1T should not
be in operation by Sept. ! at the latest
and probably sooner. The specifica-
lions and plans will be ready by May
/. when bids will be asked for and the
contracts awarded
"Thc cars will be of the most mod
ern type. They will be nearly sixty
feet in length with seats arranged on
either side and an aisle through the
center. They will be handsomely fin
ished and each Of the cars will con-
tain toilet rooms for the accommoda-
tier of the passengers.
We will run at least six express
cars each way per day. These cars.
after leaving West Hazleton. will not
,nak2 a stop until Ashley is reached.
Here the connection will be made with
the Wilkes Barre line. but this will
consume few minutes. We expect to
be able to cover the distance in about
s.Xty-five minutes, and possibly one
our. at just about half the fare that
is charged by the steam railroads. OF
course. there will be other cars, which
will stop for all passengers, but even
these will make far better time than
the railroads.

This change will be brought about by
the application of James j. Hills

THE TAX LEVY
WAS REDUCED
concluded from Page 3. !

her bonded indebtedness which he acl-
mitted was very small. He referred to
the fact that it has no surrounding
agricultural region of any great inn
portance and no great steel and iron
industries such as the other second
class cities have.
He said that If the committee would
agree to an amendment providing for
the increase of the tax levy by three or
four mills instead Of the issuance of
bonds he would vote for it. The citi-
zens of this city he said were in more
prosperous condition at present than
anyone could hope they would ever be
for years and were able to pay an in
creased tax. I'VE are today" said he,
lin better position to stand an in
creased tax than we have any assur-
ances we will be in the future
Mr. Jennings replied briefly to Cap
tain May. and argued in favor of the
increase of Indebtedness He believed,
he said. in making future generations
bear a share of the cost of the school
buildings which they will use. If the
plan of increasing the tax levy every
time new buildings were wanted was
adopted. with the increase of expend-
iture along other lines, it would only be
few years, he said, before the tax
payers would be bowed down under the
weight of taxes. He held that if Scran-
ton increased in wealth and population
in the next thirty years as it has so
increased in the past thirty years, the
people would be several times better
able to pay off these bonds than are
the people now.
Mr.. Francois referred to the great
need Of new building in the Second
ward. and a few moments afterwards
Mr.. Jayne moved, as an amendment to
the committee's report, that the tax
levy be raised to fourteen mills, the
extra mill to provide for new build
ing in Mr.. Francois ward. The motion
was defeated by the following vote:

MUCH BUSINESS TRANSACTED
Important Matters Considered b,
the Board Last Night.

The school board last night as soon
as it had provided for the issuance of
bonds for new buildings in the First
Sixth and Twenty first wards directed
certain architects to prepare plans for
the new structures.
Architect James II. Feeney was di-
rected to prepare plans for the build
ings in the Sixth and Twenty first
wards, and Architect Edward Fl. Davis
for the building in the First ward
Architect Feeney was directed to pre-
pare the plans for the Twenty first
ward building so as to permit of the
addition of four more rooms in the
future.
On motion of Mr.. Lansan 1t was set
forth that the architects We're not to
charge any commissions for the heat :
ing and ventilating plans to be pre-
pared by The boards engineer 1t was
also decided that the rooms in each
building should have steel ceilings and
that under no consideration should the
cost per room exceed $500.
The building committee made Il
lengthy report, making numerous rec
concentrations, all of which We're
adopted. One of the most important of
these was in reference to the unsani-
tary condition of No - school. 1t was
stated the odor objected to emanate
from burning culm pile in the vicini-
~ of the school, which was reported
to be filled with gas every day,
WILL ASK FOR A SITE.
The committee recommended that the
Delaware, LackaWanna and Western
company, which owns the culm pile, be
notified To abate the nuisance and
that If this be found impossible that
the company be requested to donate a
site for q new school in the same To-
cality at a safe distance from the culm
pile and that the finance committee be
instructed to provide for a four-room
building on the site.
The board. OH the recommended ion
of the building committee, decided to
purchase six lots on the Farr plot from
John II. Farr the consideration to be
three lots i'm Trip park owned by the
district and S2,25O. 1t was also decided
to purchase three lots on Albright ave-
nue. from the Diamond Land Improve
ment company. These lots are i'm the
Twenty-first ward.
The teachers committee made a
lengthy report on the music question,
1t was decided by the board to direct
all teachers to follow the instructions
of Miss Barnes regarding the teaching
of music. All teachers who are not
devoting the time they should to this
study were directed to state their rea-
sons to the teachers committee.
Messrs. Eynon and Francois both
made reports about over-crowded
school buildings. Mr.. Eynon reported
that four rooms i'm No. 10 school have
an average attendance of fifty-flve pu-
pills each, or seven in excess of the
limit fixed by the board.
Mr.. Francois reported that in one
room at No. 81 school there are TO-
pupils. with three children in seats
built to accommodate only two.
