CORTELYOU COMMENDS MEN .
The peril of the firemen who fought
the lire which destroyed Kugler's res
taurant and the hardship they endured
in preventlne the flames from spreading
to Mtivrounding huildiuffs were c'ted by
Mayor Moore today as a justification
for proposed Ineren'se in their pay.
As the police also performed efficient
work auil suffered from the frlrid
weather the Mayor asserted that the
incident served to Illustrate the neces
bity for an Increase in their pay also.
After visiting the scene of the fire
todsr the Mnvor spid :
"Thi incident In the heii't of the
city, witnessed by thousands, illustrates
the' justice of our movement to Increase
the pay of firemen nnd po'leomen. and
to piovide a system by which we may
fodow up and aid the dependents nf
those who are injured and those who
have lost their lives.
"Surrounding buildings, including the
historic I'nion 1oaguo. were s-urd by
these brato men.

SMYTH IS PROBING
TRACTJ1CHASE
Stops Payment on Transfer of
Lister Property Questions
Park Commission
HOLDS CITY WAS IGNORED
David ,L Smyth, city' solicitor, is in
vestigating the methods by which the
ommissioners of Fnirmount Tnrk agreed
to pay J. Morgan Lister $121,071. in for
a little more thnn eleven ncios taken
rom his plot nt Wissahlckou avenue and
Carpenter street.
It is said theTe was no resolution
passed for the condemnation ot the
ground, and that thc constitution nnd
acts of Assembly requiring an appro
priation by Council before indebtedness
of n municipality is incurred were
ignored by the commissioners.
Lister, it is said, paid less than PJ.-!,-000
for sixteen or seventeen acres, of
which the commissioners' purchase is a
part, in 1017.
The claim was first heard before the
board of view, ami in n rennrt file.1 lie
j the viewer the property was described'.
anu tne stntcmeut made that it was
agreed by and between the commis
sioners apd the owner that $121,971.1.':
should be the price.
The viewers tiled their report in Court
of Common Tleas No. 0, mnking the
award in thc amouut stipulated, nnd the
court later confirmed the award.
But when n rule appeared on the list
the oilier day for a tnnndamus on the
city treasury to compel the payment ot
damages lo Lister, City Solicitor Smyth
and Glen C. Mead, chief of thc road
bureau, promptly entered a protest, and
stopped the issuance of thc mandamus.
Haines D. Albright, at the instance
of Mr. Smyth, today filed un appeal
from thc award nnd n bill of exceptions
io me wnoio proceedings
1 Up question
is raised as to the lecal right of the com
missioners to make any arrangement or
agreement on the price of the plot in
the nbsejre of un ordlnanoe by Council
appropriating money to pay for it.
