Filed with the board of fire commits
sioners are strong protests, urging va
rious reasons why the proposition to
convert 1910 San Pedro street would be
bad policy.
Assistant O'Donnell has advised granting
the permit because he says 1t is In a
business ditrict.
The latest application takes the place
of that filed and granted early In the
month In which an error In boundaries
crept in.
Whole Block Aroused
Owners and residents in the block
bounded by San Pedro on the west. Plco
on the north, Stanford avenue on tne
east and Fourteenth street on the south,
flied a protest yesterday with the fire
commissioners against granting laun-
dry permit at 1ol0 San Pedro street.
The building in which 1t Is contemplate
ed the laundry shall be the petitioners
say is a rickety fire trap and was erect
ed for a skating rink and was never de-
signed to effectually house laundry
plant. If permitted here the danger
from fire will be greatly enhanced by
the one-story frame straight-up-and-
down board building.
The building extends fully to the alley
which Is fifteen feet wide, and the prop
erty owner on the east has dwelling on
his property line near the alley so that
the building Is within fifteen feet of the
dwelling.
The property in the block Is devoted
exclusively to dwelling purposes and the
protestors says the several lots imme-
ditely east of the alley adjoining this
proposed laundry have cottages on the
rear as well as in front, making very
thickly settled nt.onborhood.
The odor from this laundry in frame
| building will be particularly objection
able by reason of the thickly settled con-
dition of this block and the smoke and
odor will be blown right into the homes
| of these dwellers this laundry being
| Immediately on the west, thereby making
| their homes uninhabitable.
| The notice for this application recites
| that 1t is for an electric motor steam
boiler,'' under which either coal or crude
| oil could be burned, thus making the
| neighborhood an undesirable place to
live, the petitioners conclude.
| Acting Chief : Engineer George H.
O'Donnell, in reporting on the case, said:
| "I find considerable protest from the
surrounding neighborhood,- but as the To-
cation is in business section of the city
recommend that the permit be granted
and the applicant be instructed to have
a smokestack not less than sixty feet

Welded One Year

Mr.. and Mrs. Albert j. Bowen, who
were married just year ago yesterday,
celebrated the anniversary of that date
last evening in their pretty bungalow at
3212 Royal street, entertaining informally
company of young people, among
whom were Miss Esther M. Burrows, who
attended as maid of honor, and George
LeDoux. who stood with the groom.
Mrs. Bowen was Miss Margaret Wor-
cester of Boston, and her marriage last
September to Mr.. Bowen was so different
from the elaborate affair previously
planned that the announcement left the
friends of the young couple breathless
with surprise. Instead of many guests
and an evening reception Miss Worcester
and Mr.. Bowen slipped away one after
noon and were quietly married by Rev.
Hugh X Walker in the First Presby-
terian church with only few friends to
witness the ceremony.
Last evening the cozy home was decor
ated with trailing vines and cotton in
various odd devices. the marriage certi-
fcate being framed in the filmy stuff
and hung in good light over the arch
way between the library and dining room.
The evening was informal. the guests
participating in a series of guessing con-
tests, after which program of vocal and
instrumental music was given. Mrs.
Bowen, who sang delightfully."-, was
charming in gown of black lace
Many friends pleasantly remembered
the anniversary with gifts. Among those
present besides Miss Burrows and Mr..
LeDoux were Messrs and Mesdames Fred
erick e. Spinkman, Charles s. Mann,
Allen Cutler, J. B. Galbraith, Harry s.
Mason, Miss Pearl Thornton, Miss Ida
r. Bowen, Messrs. Albert Lesby, Guerney
of New York. Gregory, Croft Tom Poste,

One Man Who Is Two Men.

According to the statutory laws of
the United States and of Pennsylvania
Antonio Palonio is two men, and he
has asked the Lackawanna county
court to decide whether he is Antonio
Palonio or Antonio Scavazzo or both
or neither.
In 1899 Antonio was naturalized
citizen of the United States and the
commonwealth of Pennsylvania under
the poetic name of Palonio. Since
then some relative, while delving In
the family history, discovered that the
family name was Scavazzo.
When Palonio. or Scavazzo, which
ever 1t is, learned that his real name
is Scavazzo he bought property in
South Scranton under that name. This
property is in a different ward than
the one in which he lives, and for
three years he has been paying taxes
