TINIEST CITY HALL IN U. S.
IS BOAST OF LEIPERVILLE
It's Only 8 by 10, but It Is Full-Fledgcd Home of Municipality
and Keeps Police Force Warm
Some towns boast of their fine City
Hnlls "one of the biggest In the coun
try" they'll tell you grnndly.
And Leiperville bonsts of its City
Hall "the smallest in the country,"
It tells you, proudly. V'Mebbe the
smallest In the world."
And maybe it is, for it's only eight
by ten ! .
Some towns, It might bo sanl.
arc bnm with City Halls: others acquire
City Hnlls. but Leiperville had Its City
Hall hauled to it on a motortruck
thrust upon it, as It were.
Aside from gratifying the town's
civic sense of the fitness of things
aside from the fact that the town
wonted a City Hall and now has one
Lelpcrvllle's munlclpnl building will
not be able to serve much of n purpose.
Take the Interior of u building eight
feet wide nnd ten feet long. Then sub
imot llnnr snnep for a stove, n desk and
n chnlr and the rcmnlnder will not
permit of much councllmanic wrang

cians, faithfully rewarded.
It's Like "Broadway Rose"
It bhould never prove much of a
burden upon the 1000 taxpayers, for it
it aroused the slightest displeasure, they
could slip up behind it nnd give it n
push.
Whatever the hall's future, It has a
past. It housed for many years a toll
gate keeper in Eddystono on the Chester
pike. From It the keeper collected tho
first toll motorists or other drivers paid

European Statesmen Failed to
Face Issue Honestly, Says
Panarotoff
INVOKED RUSSIAN BOGEY
By the Associated Press
WilllnriTstown. Maw., Aug. 10. The
sufferings and bloodshed of ninny years
might have been avoided nnd the World
War prevented if European statesmen
had handled the Nenr East problem In
telligently and honestlv. M. Stephen
PannretofT. Bulgarian .Minister to the
United States, said today In his lec
ture before the Institute of Politics.
"It Is now recognized bv all thnt the
cotastrophe which befell Europe had Its
origin in the Near East." he said. "All
European statesmen recognized this
danger long ago, but those who had
the power nnd means did very little to
avert It. Ttieir failure to linil n peace
ful Issue out of tho difficulty Is p blot
upon the history of Europe npd u 'dis
grace to European statesmanship.
"The conclusion to be drawn from the
wnv tho European Powers have dealt
with the Near East question is that the
force of circumstances wns too strong
for them to enable them to mnintnln
absolutely the principle of the Integrity
of the Turkish Empire nnd non-interference
with the internal affairs of
Turkey. The latter principle especially
was the most reprehensible, for it left
the Christians to the tender mercies of
the TurkH. ,
"Initcad of looking facts in the face
nnd acknowledging thnt the discontent
of the Chrlstinn subjcct of the Sultitn
wns due to bad administration, the
European Powers evoked the hngev of
Russian ngents, provocateurs nnd Pnn
Slavist machinations.
"Turkey might- still hnve existed as
nn empire If the European Pouers had,
by extending self-government to the
various provinces, secured their attach
ment and loyalty to the Sultan's per
son. To say that their selfishness,
jealousies and hatreds did uot nllow
them to do it neither justifies nor ex
cuses their conduct; it rntlvcr makes
their sins of omission and commission
blacker."

ger nt yesterday's hearing, until reason
for its being wns lu-a in a iniizu of
municlpnl high finance.
Mr. Brown clnlmed the Item wns on
the wrong side of the, ledger nnd that
New York had exceeded its debt limit by
thnt amount last January. The Comp
troller said the item wns in Its right
place ; that tho city had not exceeded Its
legal debt limit and was still SKIT, 000,
000 to the good!
The item of S120.000.000 had been
exempted ns the result of dock nnd rapid
transit improvements. Mr. Brown
claimed, nnd could not be used for nny
other purpose thniiiilin ks or rapid tran
sit. That sum should be deducted, ho
said. In arriving at the debt margin of
the city at the present time. When the
bearing wns niljnurned until next lues-
uny nnd sublect was still In illvptite.
Mayor H.Inn will take the stand again
when the hearings arc lesumed.
Iti a discussion preparatory to Inquiry
as to whether the city bad exceeded its
debt limit. Comptroller Craig con
tended that tho lnw gnve the Board of
Aldermen the right to make the tax levy
2 per cent of the Inst assessment roll
submitted to it. The tax levy for this
yenr, he said, wns bnspd on an assess
ment roll submitted March 1 last. Mr.
Brown argued that the tax levy for 11121
should he 2 per cent of the tax lew for
1020.
While Mr. Brown was obdurate in
clinging to his assertion that the city
hml exceeded both Itft legal debt and tax
limits, he admitted that mi two counts
of his case against the city administra
tion his opinion had been modified.
After Comptroller Craig had read a
summary of tho four main counts con
tained In Mr. Brown's charges, the lat
ter admittid that the question of
whether the city had exceeded the lccui
debt limit in the snle of lefcniic bonds
during 11)17 "was debatable." and that
he would not further press thnflaim.
"Now." continued Mr. .Crnlg, from
the witness stand. "Haven't you modi
fied Miur views about tax notes?"
"Well. I am in doubt nbout it."
Senator Brown replied. "I don't cure
to press it."
