MIR. Clemons offered an amendment
providing for reversal OF the fran
chise to the city at the end of forty
years, at which time the company shall
be paid for its rolling stock and equip
ment figure to be fixed by a board Of
three appraisers, one to be chosen by
the company, one by the city and the
third by these two.
Mr.. Clemons, in arguing in favor of
this amendment. stated that he is un-
alterably and irrevocably opposed to
the granting of street railway fran
chses in perpetuity. He presented
lengthy typewriter statement showing
the restrictions which other municipal
tiles have placed on franchises granted
during the past few years, to offset the
argument that a street railway COM
pany cannot be financed Ii its franchise
Is limited to a certain period of years.
He moved that the franchise be for
forty years, but this was voted down.
OLIvER'S AMENDMENT.
Mr.. Oliver, who is not member of
the committee but who was present,
was given permission to offer several
amendments. The most important of
these provided for an increase of the
amount OF the company's bond from
$40, 900 to $4,000, which amount shall be
forfeited to the city if the company
fails to construct its lines within the
time fixed by the ordinance. This was
adopted.
Another amendment, which was also
adopted, provided that IL the company
allowed its tracks on any street or
streets to remain unused for one year,
its rights to those streets should be
forfeited and it should be obliged to
take up such tracks and leave the said
streets in the condition in which they
were found. This was adopted.
Another amendment offered by Mr..
Oliver provided that the company
should pay the entire cost of repairing
and maintaining all bridges over which
1t shall run its tracks. Objection was
raised to this amendment, because no
such restriction had been placed on the
present company and because one
should be treated the same as the other.
This seemed to eXasperate Mr.. Clemons
beyond measure, for he arose angrily to
his feet.
I'm getting sick and tired" said he.
and he emphasized his remarks with
vigorous thumps on his desk, "of
having that argument raised. It's
about time we got to understand that
we're not obliged to follow in the foot
steps of past councils. Just because
our predecessors gave our streets away
for nothing is no reason at all why we
should do the same. We're here to leg
islate for the interests of the people
Uhump) and not for interests of street
railway promoters (thump). Let the
gentlemen please remember that"
The amendment was finally amended
so as to provide that the company
should pay one-ialf of the cost of re-
pairing all bridges over which it's lines
may run, and was then adopted. An
other amendment, which was adopted,
provided for the running of cars to all
terminal points at intervals of not less
than thirty minutes between the hours
of a. m. and - p. m.
The next meeting of the committee
will be held on Wednesday night, Feb
ruary 5.

Smallpox has broken out in Price
burg -Four cases of the disease were
discovered there yesterday, according
TO DR.. Kennedy, the health officer
The two persons first discovered TO
DE SUFFERING from the disease were
Mrs. Rose Van Why and Warren
foWie, VINO reside on Lincoln street.
They have been i'll for nearly a week
and were attended by two of the bor-
ough physicians who proved unable to
diagnose their cases as smallpox. Dr..
Kennedy had heard rumors that there
was smallpox in town and he went to
the HOWE home yesterday to invest-
gate.
He became convinced that both War;
rem HOWE and Mrs Van Why were
suffering from the disease but to be
positive he sent for DR.. w. A. Paine,
of this city, who went up in the af-
ternoon and who pronounced the cases
to be genuine smallpox.
The two children of Henry Bean re-
siding nearby, have also developed all
the symptoms of smallpox, and DR..
Kennedy stated last night that they
are suffering from the disease. He has
ordered strict quarantine and guards
We're placed at both houses last night
with orders to permit no one to enter
or leave.
Dr. Kennedy does not attempt to en-
plain how the disease was brought
into the borough but expresses the
opinion that there is hardly any ques-
ton but that more cases will develop.
This is because the houses in which
those suffering from the disease have
been confined have been open to visi-
tors for the last week. Mrs. HOWE,
the mother Of one of the patients has
been out doing washing at several
homes during the past few days.
The people of the borough are thor
oughly alarmed at the outbreak of the
disease and they kept the doctors Of
fees crowded until nearly midnight
getting vaccnated
No new cases of the disease were re-
ported in this city yesterday, and the
situation continues to grow more prom
Using. The smallpox hospital on the
West mountain has been completed, but
it will not be furnished until it is as
certained whether the disease is going
to spread. Arrangements have been
made whereby the cots and all other
necessary furniture can be moved into
it without delay, in case such action
becomes necessary.

TO CUT DOWN ESTIMATES
Sub Committee Appointed and Will
Meet Today-Where Reductions
Will Probably Be Made.

Chairman C. f. Wagner, of the
joint estimates committee yesterday
appointed the following sub committee
to go over the estimates and prepare
schedule cutting out the s21 200
which must be taken out, and submit
it for the consideration of the full
committee next Tuesday night: Select
Councilmen Clemons and Vaughan and
Common Councilmen Keller, James
and Joseph r. Evans.
This committee will meet in the city
clerks office this afternoon. Among
the items which will in all probable
ity be reduced by the committee are
one of $4,000 for the payment of de-
flciency bills and "other estimated de-
mands payable for 1901 and another
of $4,000 for "sundry incidental bills
and claims for 1902 not otherwise pro-
vided for"
Deputy City Controller c. A. Hart
ley. who sent in these estimates, stated
yesterday that the deficiency bills on
file in his office amount to only about
$4,000 but explains the addition of the
other $1,000 by saying that that amount
in deficiency bills may be sent in be-
fore April l." The other item of
$4,000, he says, is needed to cover 9TH
er bills which are not generally sent
in until the end of the fiscal year
as for instance prothonotary's fees.
1t is believed that the knife will be
applied to both these items and that
reductions will have to be made in
some of the items asked for by Direc-
tor Roche as for instance the $4,000
for cleaning paved streets and the
81, 600 for the installation of an elevator
and for the fitting up of additional Of
fees in the Municipal building.

MISCELLANEOUS MENTION.

Current appropriations for delivery stations and
branch reading rooms were adequate for tile con.
tihuance OF only the three already In operation
| prior TO 1901, viz: On the South Side, at 1ils
| Pittston avenue; in Hyde Park. at 12l South
Main avenue and in Providence, al III West
Market street. For each of those rooms, open
weekday afternoon and evenings supply Of
| the current numbers OF some 20 various periodi.
Gals was provided daily basket exchange Of
books to and from the main library has been
| maintained with each, in the nature Of delivery
stations.
Total issues of books thus drawn from the main
library for home readings were as follows: Via
South Side, 3,sss volumes, daily average 49, and
largest single day 80; Hyde Park, s,85s volumes,
daily average 2s, and largest single day Co;
Providence, S,103 volumes, daily average 81 and
largest single day 81. Through the Green Ridge

OF the year. 1913 volumes delivered at its
own cost Of service.
Reading room patronage has not been lacking
at either of the three branches the yearly aver
ages per day being 50 at the South Side 81 ct
Hyde Park, and 80 at Providence or based on
the number OF hours open, an average Of from
nine TO ten persons per hour At the Providence
and South Side rooms the number OF readers
present at one time has frequently been much in
| excess OF the possible seating capacity OF either
premises.
Annual meeting of the American Library asso-
| citation, held at Waukesha. Wis, in July, 1oOl
was attended by Miss Decker assistant librarian

Samuel Nuinan, janitor.
The extent to which the institution as a whole,
and the librarian as its executive officer, in par
ticular. have been indebted to these faithful and
earnest workers. be but partially expressed
in words. Patrons Of the library, the public that
it serves, too, have been kind in their appre
cative comments concerning the cheerful and
industrious disposition evinced by the several
members of the library force with whom they
have come most in contact. And, therein, the
library administration has found no less for
satisfaction.

FIXED BY ORDINANCE.
Office of Clerk of Common Council
Can't Be Abolished by Simply
Cutting Out Salary.

The effort of a majority of the men,
bers of the joint estimates committee
to have the item of 5000 for the salary
Of the clerk of the common council
cut out of the appropriation ordi-
nance will likely go for naught be-
cause of a discovery which was made
yesterday
1t has been found that the Office of
the clerk of the common council is
created by the reorganization ordi-
nance and the salary of the place
fixed. The innocent looking para
graph creating the office reads as fol-
lows: "There shall be clerk of the
common council whose salary shall be
$500 per annum."
1t is said that in order to dispense
with the services of the clerk it will
be necessary to pass an ordinance re-
pealing this section and it is believed
that this would be a very difficult
thing to do because of the fact that
majority of the members of the COM
mon branch have always seemed to
favor the idea of having a clerk of
their own.
