ROLLER WAS NOT SEIZED.
School g. Co.'s Agent Decides to B,
Content with a Judgment.

Large crowds throngcd Washington
avenue. yesterday, waiting to see a
man coming down from city hall with
the new road roller under his arm.
They were disappointed.
1t seems that the threat of School &
Co.'S agent to seize the roller and take
it back to New York because the city
had not made provision to pay for it
was not intended to be taken seriously.
After having made the threat to Presi-
dent Oliver, of select council, Agent
Givn had an interview with Director
of Public Works Roche and learning
that things were not really as bad as
they were painted, concluded to post
pone the seizure of the roller.
Mr.. Givin had been led to believe
that the manner in which the roller
was purchased precluded the possible
ity of his collecting it's purchase price
until after the appropriations are made
next year. Director Roche showed him
that there was $500 of unexpended
balances in the department of public
works; that the councils can transfer
this money by ordinance. and that
when the transfer is made it is the
duty of the controller to countersign
the warrant. Being made satisfied that
councils will make the transfer, when
it comes to realize that it Is morally.
at least bound to do so. because Of
their having directed the heads of de-
partments to purchase the roller, he
went his way content
The claim has been placed in the
hands of Welles & Torrey by Agent
Givin. Suit will be brought, Judgment
secured and School e. Co. will draw 6
per cent. interest on their claim until
councils get ready to provide money
to meet an obligation contracted by
their express direction.
In the meantime the city will con-
tinue to use the big new road roller
in the absolutely necessary work of
repairing the dirt roads made miser-
able by the recent heavy rains.

The members of the Scranton poor
board last night examined plans for a
new almshouse. which 1t is proposed to
erect at the Hillside farm. Architect
r.. II. Davis prepared the plans, and
the board examined them at his Office
last night.
For some time the buildings used for
almshouse purposes and for an asylum
have been overcrowded sand 1t was
found desirable to make additions of
some character.
After consultation it was decided to
erect new building. to be used en-
tirely for almshouse purposes, and use
the present almshouse, which adjoins
the asylum. for asylum purpose.
TO completely separate the paupers
and insane 1t Is proposed to erect the
new almshouse on plot OF ground
which adjoins, on the Clark's Summit
side, the land now enclosed and upon
which the Hillside Home buildings
stand. This will result in a complete
separation of paupers and insane,
which has long been deemed desirable.
The larger room for asylum purpose
that will be gained will make 1t pos
sble for greater division of the in
sane patients than can now be made.
This division of insane patients Is Of
the greatest Importance in the treat
ment Of cases where a cure is hoped
for.
The directors were very much pleased
with their preliminary examination Of
the plans last night and there Is a
strong probability that they will be
adopted. They provide for a large,
plain, substantial building, admirably
arranged for the purpose for which it
Is intended,

DETECTIVE BILLS
ARE REFERRED BACK
Auditing Committee Wants Recorder
to Show His Authority for Au-
thorizing Such Service.

At last nights meeting of the joint
auditing committee of councils, Detec.
tive II. w. Earrings bill against the
city, for professional services, was re.
| turned to Recorder Connell, with a re-
quest that the latter send the bill back
again, accompanied by statement
showing the authority for contracting
the debt.
This action was taken, upon the mo-
| tion Of p. +. Calpin, the Democratic
leader of common council, who declared
that this was the first bill Of it's kind
| to appear before the auditing commit
tee, as long as he had been a member
of it, and he was desirous of having
all the why's and wherefores settled
| once for all, so that the committee
might act promptly ana surely upon
| any other similar bills which might
come before them.
The committee ordered paid the bill
Of s3,SS925, sent in by the viewers OF
the Nineteenth sewer district which
has been so often held up, and another
bill finally approved was that Of the
| Scranton Gas and Water company, for
| for $1,59526.
| A large number of bills sent in from
| the department of public works were
| ordered paid, the only one frowned
| down, being Ordinance Officer John B.
Gillespie's bill for some $50. Said
Chairman Vaughan, when the BILL
| which had been refused payment at a
| previous meeting, was again read:
There's no doubt that this is nee
essary office, but l don't think that
| any city department has any right to
create a salaried office. think the
proper thing to do in the matter would
be to take it into councils and prop
erly create the Office
On motion of Mr. Calpin the bill was
| refused payment. Director Roche was
present at the meeting and explained
the bills of w. II. Wickizer, who was
| in charge of paving and repairs OF
Grant avenue and Jackson street, dur
ing the spring. One of the three bills
he presented was approved by the city
controller, and the other two vetoed.
The former amounted to $3.50 and
| the other two to about 1866. The
reasons given were that the contracts
| were not properly made, inasmuch as
| they were not certified.
Mr.. Roche, in his remarks to the
| committee, submitted an itemized bill,
for mems wages, teams, etc, the whole
coming to $44S Mr.. Roche said that
no real contract had been drawn up,
but that Mr.. Wickizer and he had
merely placed on paper an ordinary
business proposition to take care of
the whole job for $500. Wickizer made
this reduction, as he has quarry in
the neighborhood, and it is to his
| own advantage to have a good ap-
proach to it. The committee approved
the bills for $500.
Detective Earrings bill was for $685.
Sc, for services in obtaining evidence
in disorderly and gambling house
cases, and $3.50 for patrol duty and
work in the dynamiting cases of last
winter. A communication from Re-
corder Connel accompanied the bill,
recommending it's payment and re-
minding the committee that councils
refusal on a previous occasion to pay
bill from Mr.. Barring had resulted
in law suit against the city, in which
the detective had won out.
