Gormley, although he did not take any great part in the discussion. I was the only pne to go along with the mayor." Mr. McLane said that the suggestion was that the city buy both the surface and the underlying coal. Councilmen Thomas Saville and Harry Apgar reminded him, however, that inasmuch as the Glen Alden is doing practically all of the mining under the Bellevue section, the suggestion meant nothing. Mr.

Apgar characterized the mayor's favoring the move as "a sop to the people of Bellevue." "The mayor Is very anxious about buying' the coal in this one section," he said, "and yet he went along on the purchase of acres of land at Nay Aug park without ever suggesting such a thing."

If 1 mkMr IA Ja Ad Citizens Threaten to Seek Charter for Bus Line if Car Officials Fail to Act Alleging that the Scranton Railway Company is "sidestepping" tlie question of extending the Washburn street car line into Keyser Valley and the West Mountain, representatives of the Key ser Valley Improvement Association vesterdav asked council to adopt a reso lution by which the question would be taken before the Public Service com mifhion. J.

Coleman, general manager of the trolley company, was in attendance at the meeting yesterday afternoon and was unable to give council a definite statement as to whether or not the concern will build the extension. Mr. Coleman Said that the decision rests with the officials of the parent company at Philadelphia, and that he will advise the local authorities as soon as the matter has been settled. Kay Operate Bos Line. "If the Scranton Railway Company can't get us service for the 524,000 a year which they are taking out of keyser Valley, the Kayser Valely Improvement Association can and will, if we can get a franchise to opearte a ibus line from the West Mountain to the central city," John Canterbury, spokesman for the organization, said.

He asked council to pass a resolution Instructing City Solicitor P. V. Mattes to place the matter before tho Public Service Commission If the trolley company does not ct favorably the petition for an extension soon. General Manager Coleman said that a short time ago, at a meeting in City HaH, Mr. Canterbury, for the Keyser Valley residents, had agreed to purchase bonds issued by the company to finance the building of the extension, the cost of which he estimated at $40,000.

The question was referred to the officials of the American Electric Power Company, controlling the local concern, he said, and the final decision was deferred pending the closing of the wage negotiations here. He Is now awaiting the inspection or the proposed route to be made 'by officials of the company, he explained. He has since learned that the offer to buy the bonds has been abandoned, he declared, and If such was the case he would be compelled to submit a new proposition to his company. Straggle Thirty Years for Extension. "We believe that the railway company is side stepping this question," Mr.

Canterbury said. "We have been struggling for thirty years to get this exteiaion, and we've been unsuccessful. We're here today to ask you councilmen to pass a resolution authorizing the city solicitor to take this case before the Tublic Service commission. If council doesn't want to do this, we'll go to the commission ourselves. We've checked up for a week on the number of people west of the L.

W. tracks who ride the street cars every day and find that it averages 849 daily. This means about $24,000 a year in revenue to the railway company. If we lose the fight before the commission, we'll seek a franchise for a bus line, and if the railway company can't give service, our association can." Mr. Canterbury denied that he had made any offer to buy the bonds, saying that tho proposal was put forth several years ago.

Hhe definitely stated that the Keyser Valley people will not promise to buy any bonds." Coleman Derendi Company. "I think Mr. Canterbury's statement that we are 'side stepping' the question is very unfair," Mr. Coleman said, reciting the difficulties of the company for the past three or four years, and the fact that the recent wage award means an expenditure of $100,000 a year. "With the offer to buy the bonds withdrawn," he said, "I'll have to make a new proposal to the company." Mr.

Coleman was asked dlhcctly by Councilman Harry E. Apgar if the company would agree to build the road of the bonds were to be bought. "Why doesn't the company make a definite proposal, or say that they will build the extension if 50 per cent, or 100 per cent, of the bonds are bought here?" The company manager said he would have to await word from the parent company officials. H. W.

Schoen, a member of the committee, told of plans of the association for public Improvements In the community, and suld that F. K. Sutch, superintendent of recreation, wig much impressel with tho possibility of a sixty acre tract owned by the Glen Alden Coal company, as a playground site. "Forget about It, If It's owned by the Glen Alden company," councilmen told him. "The city administration won't accept anything from the Glen Alden company." "Maybe we could get it in shape by the time the next administration comes In," said Schoen.

He pointel out that the location of the West Mountain hospital make" It Imperative that street car facilities be pro vided for that section. Council yesterday passed the ordinances providing for the purchase of $30,000 worth of land near Lackawanna and Ninth avenues, and authorizing the execution of an agreement with the Scranton Railway company for the use of trolley poles In the erection of booths for traffic patrolmen. An ordinance providing for the paving Woodlawn street, from boulevard to Adorns avenue, was introduced. The measure tarries a revised estimate, the original figure being deemed too low. Councilman Stanley J.

Davis offered a motion asking the public works department for information as to the status of the ordinance providing for the building of a sewer in Theodore street.
