StUct Branch. President Sperm filled the chair.
A communication was received from the officers
01 the Hestonyllle Railroad, asklnii permission to
recta temporary wooilen bnlldinR on lianoester
pike, between Forty. first and Forty. second street.
A number of petitions were received asking the

railway tracks in Twelfth or sixteenth, streets, as
is proposed by parties applying to the Legislature
for each permission.
A petition for the removal of the track of the
city railroad, In Market street, between Tenth and
Eleventh, was, with the others, referred to com
mittees. A communication from the Superintendent of
City Railroads, recommending each removal, was
also referred.
A communication was received from M. Hall
Stanton, Kq , one of the Trustees of the Philadel
phia Uas Work, Informing Councils that that body
bad adopted a resolution, bv a small majority, to
continue holding, with closed doors, as before,
their recnlar meetings, tlleterrnd in linmmiuui nn
Law.
Gol. Page offered a resolution providing for the
appointment ot a special committee of three, rela
tive to the a flairs of the Pennsylvania Railroad:
Resolved, by the Select and Common Oo a noils
Of the city of Philadelphia, that the communica
tion of Meters. Liewls K Ik In and John Ric, Direc
tors of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, in
. answer to a resolution of Councils, be referred to
a joint special committee of three from eaob Cham
ner, and the said committee are hereby authorized,
if by them it shall be deemed edvteable, to direot
the Mayor to cast the stock vote of the city for or
against the acceptance of the act of Assembly, ap
proved March, 1888.
This act authorizes the Dlrec'ors to borrow from
time to time such sums of money as they may
deem needful, and to lesne bonds therefor, in sums
of not less than 1U0. The increase of the capital
tork of the company not to exceed 200,000 shares.
Mr. Van Oleve did not see why a road in a con
dition already so prosperous should ask for per
mission to increase its capital stock to the extent
f 2lW,000 (hares, and to effect the loan of an
, amount of money equal to its present capital. He
hoped that a committee would be appointed to see
whether such an increase would be for the bene IK
Of the stock held oy the city.
Mr. Smith spoke to like eUttct.
Mr. King favored the resolution. It conld do no
harm if it did no good.
The subject was unanimously referred.
On motion, the committee was increased to nine.
A communication was received from the Con
trollers of the Pablio Schools relative to sundry
" Improvements, and was referred to committee. :
An ordinance was presented by Mr. Buram,
Chairman of the Committee on Cly Property, pro
Tiding for the sale of certain lots owned by the
city, in Chesnut street, from Twenty-third to
Twenty-fourth, on these terms: '20 per cent, to be
paid in cash, the balance to remain on ground rent
at the option of the purchaser.
This ordinance passed.
Mr. Bumm presented a report from a Joint Com
, mittee of City Property and Surveys relative to
the inadequate accommodations for many of the
county ofiicers, with an ordinance attached, pro
viding for the appointment of a commission for the
, erection of public buildings.
The report shows that the offices of the Board of
Revision, City Commissioner and search clerks of
the Receiver of Taxes are all small and unsuit
able. The offices of the departments should be ad
jacent to them. The cost of making duplicate
bosks for the revision and assessment of taxes
would be very large, besides a large annual outlay
to keep them brought down for use, which, if the
offices were adjacent, would be saved. All the
Courts are Inadequately accommodated, and the
new Court-house is but a temporary make-shift.
' The rooms of the District Court are unfit for the
: business of the city. In all the departments, the re
port says, there is great want of room, and the
committee unanimously recommend the immediate
erection of new public buildings. The cost of
Keeping the present ones in repair amounts anna
ally to almost the interest on the cost of new struc
tures. Toe city Is paying In rent $18,000, which
is the Interest upon 8300,000, and, adding the cost
of repairs, the city Is expending yearly the interest
upon half a million dollars.
The committee recommend the selection, as such
, a locality, of Broad and Market streets. In a few
. jears the railway tracks for burden cars will dis
appear from there, and the point is really the very
centre of the city. The plan for the entire build
ings should be adopted now not with a view of
entering immediately upon the erection of all of
them, but to tlx the general arrangement, so that
the city can erect and finish a portion yearly until
the completion of the whole.
The committee object to the leasing of the Adelphl
bmldlng, and urge immediate action upon the bill
appended.
The report is signed by the entire committee, Mr.
Bumm, Chairman.
The bill names as the Commission Henry Davis,
John Price Wetherill, Furman Sheppard. James
A. Freeman, Edward Shlppen and N. B. Browne,
who, with the Mayor ana the president oi uoun-
cils, shall bold tor the term of tlve years the otllce
of Commissioners of Public Buildings, unless the
buildings herein provided for have been before
. that time erected and completed.
k ' Any vacancies occurring in the said Board, ex
cepting those of members by virtue of their office,
as Mayor and President of Councils, shall be filled
by the rerouinlng members of the Board. The
' taid Commissioners shall meet within one mon'.h
after the passage of the ordinance, and organize by
the election of a president and secretary from
. . their number; but shall receive no compensation
for their services as Commissioners.
Section second provides that it shall be the duty
Ot the said Board to advertise, In at least two daily
newspapers published in this city, for three weeks,
for plans and estimates of cost of the proposed
building; and they shall, within three months
after their first meeting, determine upon and adopt
a plan, and thereupon shall determine what por
. tion of said plan shall be first erected. They shall
. advertise, for at least two weeks, in one or more
. newspapers, for proposals for the erection of such
parts to be by them designated In the advertise
ment, and shall award the contracts to the lowest
and best bidder who shall give the requisite se
curity, who shall thereupon enter into a contract
with the city, and shall proceed, under the direc
tion of the said Commissioners, to erect said build
ings and fit them for the purposes intended.
Section third provides that the said Commission
ers shall prepare a contract, to be approved by the
City Solicitor, the terms of which shall be pub
lished at the time of advertising for the proposals
for the erection of such portion of the buildings as
shall be designated to be first erected; they shall
provide terms of payment and the amount of se
curity, and shall proceed In the erection and com
pletion of any other part or parts of the buildings;
provided, that the contracts are awarded after ad
vertisement, In the same manner as above pro
Tided for that which is first to be erected.
, Section fourth provides that the said buildings
hall be erected In ore or more of the public
squares at Broad and Market streets, as the com
mission deem proper; that the faith of the city Is
pledged to levy a special tax each year of one
eighth of one per cent, upon teal estate, or such
other rate as will yield at least 8200,000 annually;
. the said special tux to be collected separately and
kept ns a separate turd by the City Treasurer, and
to be known as "I he Public Buildings Fund."
It Is also provided that in order that Immediate
steps may be taken for the erection of said build
ingsi the sum of saoo 000 Is hereby appropriated to
the Ccmmisi-ioi era of Public Buildings, for the
expenses of the yeax lbU", to carry out the objects

Report Submitted by City Hirectoks p
Pennsylvania Railroad to City Councils.
The folloalnor coraniunlcation was sent to
Councils yesterday by the City Director of the
rennsjivama luiiroucu. Company The Di
rectors ol the Pennsylvania RailroartOtfiipany
representing the city have considered the reso
lution 01 select ana common councils ot the
city of rhilftdolphia, in relation to a supplement
to the charier of the company, passed by the
Legislature in ft: arch, 18C6. The Directors,
alter quoting the act oi Assembly, say: "The
a Hairs ot the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
have, fiom an early period, through the In
structions of tbe shareholders, been adminis
tered upon the most enlarged and liberal basin,
and under this policy it hat rapidly crown to be
the roost important work: of the kind in this
country. It has not only extended its original
line ot but 248 miles in length from Harrisburg
to Philadelphia, but it has brought Into suc
cessful use, by a liberal application of its
means, over 1100 miles of branch and connect
ing railways, all of which add to tbe profits of
tbe main stem. It has now under its general
supervision, exclusive of the main line from
Philadelphia to Pittsburg, nearly 100 miles of
railway."
The only expenditures it has incurred that
were ot a doubtful character were those di
rected by the shareholders, or required by the
Legislature of Pennsylvania, commuting tbe
tonnage duties. It is true that the Board might
have lultilled the letter of its obligations in both
these cases by applviug the amount required to
be appioprlated by its principals to the objects
directed, and then have charged off the stiois so
expended to protit and lo?s. and gone no fur
ther. Ti e Hoard prelcrred advancing further
sums, with a view not only to save their orl
einal investment, but bIho to make the works
they had aided -partially to build productive to
their f liHrtholdcrs and useful to the countries
travmed.
A list of the roads so aided and brought
successfully into use comprises tbe Pittsburg,
Fort Way ue, and Chicaeo Railway. 496 miles
long; the road between Pittsburg and ColtimbiiH,
200 miles: the WeBt Pennsylvania Railroad,
between Blalrsville and Pittsburg. 70 miles; the
Evansburg and Cresson Railroad, 9 miles; the
Tyrone and Phillipsburg Road, 23 miles; the
Bald Eagle Valley Railroad, 64 miles; the Bed
ford Railroad to Bloody Run, 20 miles; tbe
Milllin and Centre County Railroad, 7 miles; the
Pennsylvania and Erie Railroad, 288 miles, etc,
The Directors have been enabled to meet
the expenditures thus incurred without in
creasing the indebtedness of the company to
the limit of its capital stock, while it ceil 1
holds assets in Its vaults more than equal to its
first and second mortgages.
The increase of its facilities for transportation
must advance with the growth of the tratlic of
the country, This will require continual addi
tions to its equipments, to its tracks, to its sta
tions, to its fchors, and additional extension of
branch lines. The means for these can only be
obtained under the judicious limitation of the
borrowing power 01 the company by an enlarge
ment of its stock basis. It is to meet this neces
sity that the cash dividends have been proposed
to be limited to not exceeding eight per cent,
per annum. It was a subject of grave discus
sion whether these dividends should not be
limited to six per cent, per annum, but the first
figure was unanimously adopted, and the action
proposed under it, will if approved by the
shareholders, probably -be a dividend of eight
per cent, in May nest, three per cent, in cash,
and five per cent, in stock, and in November
four per cent, in cash, and thereafter four per
cent, in cash semi-annually whenever unaccom
panied with a stock dividend,
The Board would have preferred to have
opened the books of the Company to the share
holders for a subscription tor this increased
capital, according to the number of shares held
by each stockholder; but in adopting this plan
on a previous occasion, the Directors met tbe
decided opposition of the city authorities in
consequence of her inability to participate in
buch subscription. If this plan had been satis
factory, the Board would have preferred to
adhere to semi annual dividends of five per
cent, in cash. The City Councils will doubtless
learn witb satisfaction mat tne stook: propose!
to be divided in May next is but a part of the
surplus profits ot the Company. The remainder,
except one million of dollars placed in a oou
tineent fund, it is proposed to apply to the re
duction of the construction account, with a
view to keep the cost of the companies' books
below a specie standard. 8HH11
These piohts have been secured without an
increase (except on a few items) of the rates of
the local tonnage of the line since the suspen
sion of specie payments, which is, we believe,
without example in any other business. We
have great satisfaction in atating that in our
judgment the Coiupttny's finances are in a most
healthy condition. To provide means to enlarge
the capacity oi the Company's roads and their
equipment to meet the increasing tratlic of the
country, as we have already mentioned, an in
crease in the stock basis is necessary, and this
can be obtained in but three ways by sale of
shares by a stock dividend of surplus protits
or by subscription by the shareholders in pro-
f 101 tion to the interest on each at par, payable
n Instalments as tbe money is required.
This latter plan would have been the fairest
and best suited to the views of the Board, but
the city, as previously slated, under constitu
tional restrictions, could not participate in the
mbbcription and its consideration was aban
doned. Instead of any disposition upon- the
part of the Board to water tbe stock, we can
state ol our knowledge that tbe efforts of the
President and Directors . have been to keep
down the capital account by applying surplus
piobts to meet expenditures that a;e usually
charged to construction account.
lour Directors will also state that they have
from time to time conferred with tbe City Com
missioners of the Sinkiug Fund, who control the
stock owned by the city respecting the pros
pects and policy of the company.
