BY recent action of councils, Direc-
tor of Public Safety L. L. Wormser was
requested to ascertain what could be
done in the matter of having the fire
hydrants at Connel Park and the
Bellevue Heights, supplied by water
from the Scranton Gas and Water
company's mains, instead of from those
of the Spring Brook Water company.
1t was thought that by using the
Scranton Gas and Water company's
mains the city would thus be saved the
additional expense accruing from the
service rendered by second company
Director Wormser ordered an investi-
cation of the hydrants by Superintend-
ent II. r. Ferber, of the bureau of fire,
and the result of this convinced him
that the Scranton Gas and Water COM
pany is unable to supply the requisite
water pressure in these particular To-
calities.
RESULT OF TESTS.
He sent communication to select
council Thursday night, containing the
following report by Superintendent Fer
ber of the test, which he made July 20.
1t shows the location of the hydrants.
the time of test, and the amount Of
pressure:

Archibald street, 1920 a. m, 80 pounds;
Dodge avenue and Back street, $50 a. M,
12O pounds. The highest pressure of the
Scranton Gas and Water company was
at the hydrant at the Locust street and
South Main avenue, at S.45 a. M, 40
pounds.

UNExPENDED BALANCES.
List of Them Has Been Furnished
by the City Controller to the
City Clerk.

City Controller p. w. Costello yes
terday filed with City Clerk Lavelle a
complete statement of the uneXpended
balances left over from last years APP
propriations. This was accompanied by
a full list of deficiency bills. The latter
aggregate s1S,S537S, and the total of the
balances is nearly $4,000.
1t was the intention of the controller
and the special committee which was
appointed by select council some
months ago, for the purpose Of con-
sidering the possibility of merging
these balances into fund, which could
be drawn upon to pay the deficiency
bills. to report Thursday night at the
meeting Of select council.
City Clerk Lavelle was on hand, ready
to frame report for the committee,
but the city controller was unable to be
present, owing to illness, and the mat
ter was therefore postponed until the
next session of the select branch. 1t
will be necessary for the committee to
carefully review the balances, and de-
eide just which ones are available for
merging purposes.
A number of the sums were appro-
priated for definite, specified purposes,
which have not yet been executed, and
it is therefore impossible to in any way
use them, except for their original
uses. An item of this nature is the
$2,621.25 set aside as the city's share in
repaving Carbon street. In unexpend-
ed balances, the largest sum Is left over
from the city engineers department. 1t
is $9,954.3S. The Carbon street item is
included in this sum.
Some of the other balances are as
follows: General city account, $109,15:
city controllers department, $52. ga; law
department, $S7.14; city clerks depart
ment, $194s5; city assessors depart
ment, $34.SS; city treasurer's depart
ment, $324.47; city recorders depart
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1902-08-09
ment s2l.42; board of appeals. $50; de-

ment, $21.42; board of appeals. $50; de-
partment OF public safety. $23.62; bureau
of police, $1,3l4.1; bureau of fire, &.-
569.16; bureau of building inspection,
s31.39; bureau of health, $4,66O.21; de-
partment of public works, $1,595.60; city
hall. $50.91: city engineers department..
$9,954.3s; highways and sewers $39S.47;
bureau of parks, S731.I5.
The majority of the deficiency bills
are of small amounts, but there are
three or four comparatively large ones,
which swell the total. Among these Is
the bill Of the board of viewers sof the
sewer in the Nineteenth district, and a
claim of s2,496.11 by Julian Schalf &
Co. Three claims of the Scranton Gas
and Water company, for IL trifle over
$1,000, are also in the list. They are old
bills, which were reported favorably
upon at the last meeting of the audit
ing committee,

COVERING SIDEWALKS.

Two sections are devoted to the ad-
vocacy of the matter Of covering side
walks, near or under which building
operations or excavations are in course
Of progress. Where building materials
are in the street, the ordinance states
that proper guard must be kept, and
warning lights placed, and fences must
be erected between the sidewalk and
any mortar used in building, so as to
save passersby from splashing and an
noyance.
Fireproof shutters must be used by
stores and warehouses, and all wooden
posts and columns used in building
must have iron bottoms. This will
largely prevent the rotting away of the
wood.
The following penalties are prescribed
for violations of the ordinance: Not
less than S. or more than $25 for the
first offense: not less than $40 nor
more than $50 for the second, and not
less than $25 or more than 500 for the
third. Every succeeding offense will
be punished by fine of $50.
Bay windows projecting beyond the
main line of the buildings are prohib-
tied inside the fire limits, unless the
houses are made of non-combustible
material.

Councilman J. j. Costello introduced
new building ordinance at Thursday
nights meeting of select council. which
was drawn up by superintendent Of
Building Inspection Il. l.. Brown. The
most apparent changes in the present
building laws, which are provided for
by the new ordinance, consist of pro-
visions for the strict enforcement of
various acts of assembly, which have
been dead letters in this city. up to the
present.
The ordinance Is entitled, "an ordin-
ance to regulate the construction, al
teration, repairs and removal of build
ings in the city of Scranton, and pro-
viding penalties for failure to comply
with the same" The first section re-
enacts the present laws, and directs
that building permits be taken and fees
paid before any building operations can
be instituted. Fees for general build
ing work remain practically as before,
but an additional fee will henceforth be
charged for party walls, and the city
determine the cost of the wall.
ABOUT LOT LINES.
Lot lines will also be established by
the act of assembly of 1895 will be en-
forced, Is the taking out of permits,
for the installing of heating apparatus
Section III fixes the salaries of the Off
GERS of the department of building in
spection. No change has been made in
this section. The following paragraph
specifies that any building which has
been damaged over fifty per cent. can
not be rebuilt, but must be torn down.
Section s states that all buildings
over 60 feet high in the fire limits, and
over 80 feet high outside of the limits
must be absolutely fireproof. All build
ings over 60 feet high, and under 90
outside of the fire limits must be slow
burning structures. BY this it is meant
that large, heavy timbers and girders
must be used in the construction.
In buildings in the fire limits eleva-
tors must be enclosed in f1reproof shafts
and otherwise properly protected. An
other elevator provision is that all ele-
vators be supplied with a patent lock
contrivance, of such a nature that when
an elevator door is open, it is impossi-
BILE for the carriage to either ascend or
descend. An act of assembly Of May,
1895, provided for this, but the act has
never been locally enforced.
Another act, passed in 1893, provides
for the safety Of workingmen employed
upon buildings, by ordering that in all
buildings, in course Of construction, all
floors above the third must be covered,
both as safeguard against falls, or
injuries sustained by men on lower
floors being struck by any articles
which might fall from above.
