Meeting failure leaves viaduct vote details unclear
The joint conference committee did not meet and no one notified members of the viaduct project. Mayor Moir promised to call a meeting but did not. With the election only two weeks away, taxpayers lack definite information on how much either the Delaware Lackawanna and Western or Scranton Railway will contribute to the proposed improvements. Officials from both companies have not yet provided clear numbers, leaving the public in the dark for February 20.

Lively War Over Abington Turnpike Claim at City Meeting
At a joint auditing committee session, Common Councilman James J. Grier attacked a $190.89 Abington turnpike claim as outrageous, citing prior city expenditures totaling thousands for the road and accusing the Paine led company of keeping tolls. Paine defended the claim, citing a Supreme Court ruling allowing revailing and billing the city with proper notice, as officials approved related $13 payments for assistant fire chiefs and then adjourned.
