Ordinance of the Consumers Gas
Company Amended by Select
Council Committee.

The light and water committee of
select council met last night in the city
clerks Office to consider an ordinance
granting a franchise to the Consumers
Gas company. Present were F. II.
Clemons, chairman of the committee;
Thomas Cosgrove and Richard Nor
gans. The absentees were Wade NJ.
Finn and T. c. Melvin. After the meet
ing opened, Cosgrove wanted to retire,
but Clemons would not permit him, for
the reason that it would break the
quorum. Cosgrove insisted that he
would retire. and Clemons told him if
he did he would call the attention of
councils to his conduct. Cosgrove re-
manned. Later on, Cosgrove tried to
get the committee to adjourn until next
Thursday, but was unsuccessful.
After good deal of talk concerning
the ordinance. Clemons moved amend
ments to it providing that the maxi
mum price for gas to be charged by
the Consumers company shall be
eighty-five cents, and the franchise
shall be limited to forty years. Co.'S
grove opposed the amendments, but
they We're adopted and will be reported
to council at it's meeting Thursday
night. Hon. NJ. Il. Mcdonald appeared

SHOULD PAVE STREETS.
Recorder Doesn't Favor Including in
Bond Ordinance Any Provision
for Matchmaking.

1t is definitely known that the bond
ordinance, which Recorder Connell is
preparing and the passage of which he
will recommend to councils. will con-
tain no provision for the permanent
improvement of the city streets, as
outlined in the plan suggested by
Director of Public Works Roche.
The recorder does not agree with the
directors views on this question and
believes that it would not be right to
spend any large sum in macadamizing
the city's unimproved streets. The
item Of 100000, for the improvement Of
eight miles of streets, which the direc-
tor had inserted in his estimate of ex-
penditures, was cut out by the cabinet
at the recorders suggestion and did
not appear in the estimates as pre-
sented to councils.
The recorder believes that the only
proper method of improving the streets
of Scranton is to pave them. and real
ICES that while such a result can only
be brought about gradually, it will be
better in the end. One OF the streets
which Director Roche proposed to
have macadamiZed was PittSton ave-
nue..
1t has been pointed out that the ma
jority Of the property owners on Pitts

main sewer actually before it was
completed-something almost unheard
of-and it is argued that if these
property owners could afford to do this
they could afford also to pave.
1t is understood that the bond ordi-
nance will be ready for introduction in
councils within q week.

Public Schools.

Acting through a committee ap-
pointed from this body, we visited the
city schools and conversed with Su-
perintendent Ballard and with mem
bers OF the board Of education.
We do not find the schools Of the
county in az satisfactory condition as
we would like to find them on ae-
count Of the limited financial re-
sources of the board of education. We
find tnat the city schools are very
much crowded, AMI the teachers are
poorly paid. We believe the board OF
education is doing good work with
the means at their command, and
they propose to inaugurate some
much-needed reforms We find that
the board ~ established a graduated
scale Of salaries for the teachers Of
both city and county, based upon the
proficiency. grade and experience Of
the teacher, and we feel That this will
do a great deal towards increasing the
efficiency of the system. We find the
board has established normal class
for the purpose Of preparing teachers
for efficiency in the schools We find
there is crying need for additional
school room, and the board is endeav-
Oring TO arrange for primary school
in the New Town portion of Bruins
wick, and hope to arrange one also in
the southern portion of the Old Town.
These schools are sadly needed and it
IS to be hoped that they will be estab-
lished and in operation by the fall
term This is more especially urgent
as to the New Town portion of Bruins
wick.
We regard it as a lamentable fact
that the city of Brunswick does not
provide regular appropriation for
the city schools, and from Prof Bal
ard we nave gathered the following
statement by way Of comparison: Ma
ietta gives Is per cent. of ner total
income to schools; Rome gives 10 per
cent; Griffin gives Is per cent; Sa-
vanpah, go per cent: Americus, 80 l-3

state in a Iike ratio, while Brunswick
only supplies per cent, and That in

commons, the city not making any di-

rect appropriation from it's treasury.
We are sorry to note this indiffer-
ence on the part Of onr people, for
we believe there is nothing which
would tend to build up our community
as the maintenance Of frstclass
school system. and especially the
maintenance Of a nigh school
We find that, on account of small
salaries paid, our county is badly han
dicapped and we bespeak for our peo
pie an awakening on this subject
We feel That the board of education
is administering its affairs on sound
and economic basis, ana we believe
that superintendent Ballard and his
entire corps Of teachers are faithful
and earnest in their efforts.
From the report of the superintend-
ent to he grand jury we take the
following statement with reference to
the enrolment and average attend
ance of children for the entire county:
Outside of Brunswick.
Children between the age of and 18
according TO the last census of
1893.

HASSELL GETS JUSTICE

Justice came sure and swift To
Joseph Hassell, the negro steward
who on last Monday shot agd severely
wounded Capt e. w. Sprague, of the
schooner John II. Butterick.
He was arTaigned in the superior
court yesterday charged with assault
with intent to murder. and was repre-
sented by Attorneys X. E. Dart and
Woodford Mabry. The evidence was
rather conflicting and this fact
coupled with the further one that
Captain Sprague was not in condition
to come into court and testify. rather
initiated to the benefit of the de-
fendant.
The jury in the case, after some
consideration, returned a verdict Of
guilty of shooting at another not in
his own defense, and Judge Reagen
first sentenced the prisoner to one
year in the penitentiary, but later, at
the request of all he attorneys at in
terest, the court amended the sen
tence, reducing the offense to MS
demeanor, and fined the defendant
5000, or twelve months on the public
works of the county.
Captain Sprague continues TO i'm
prove and his friends hope that he
will be able to be out in the course
Of few days.
