7 it ft1 JOB PUBLIC BENEFIT. Nearly $100,000 Worth of the City's Property Kow Lying Idle. IT MAT BE TURKED INTO GROUNDS And Given to the Use of the Public hj a Little JlaneuTerinff. TWO 1JITOETAXT BOAED MEETINGS At a meeting of the Finance Committee yesterday, with V. A. Magee in the chair, and Messrs. Morrow, McCandless and Brown present by invitation. The invita tion was issued by the Chairman for the purpose of devising some means for dispos ing of properties to be sold for taxes for which there are no bidders. It was explained that heretofore, when such property is advertised and there are no bidders, the city is compelled to bid the property in, bnt the Sheriff cannot deliver the deeds unless the city pay the costs, and the latter cannot locally be done, so another sale ensues, perhaps with a like result In order to prevent this, Mr. Magee pro posed that 520,000 be appropriated to pay the costs of sheriff sales on property sold for city taxes, and that the Controller buy the property in and demand the deeds with out paying the costs, and if it be refused, to carry it to tbe "courts, and if the Supreme Court refused, then to pay the costs out ot the 20,000. There was 5100,000 worth of property in the city's hands which might be utilized, and if there were no bidders for the city property, he thought it ceuld be con verted iuto public parks or used for public interests. Controller Morrow thought the latter part of Mr. Macee's proposition was all right but objected to carrying the question of costs to the Supreme Court, Thomas Cauley asked $227 damages for injury to his child by the upsetting of a stop gate on Nineteenth street; referred. Saitta, Cueno & Co. asked ?1,868 and J. H. Lettnian S930 for damages to goods by the bursting of a water pipe near the Mc Cance block during a fire on January 13; referred to a sub-committee. -J. A. Mnndorf & Co. had said taxes on $20,000 worth ot property on the Southside, but it was destroyed by fire and they wanted tax s returned; referred. A petition asking the Chief of Public "Works to improve the streets and sewers of Xawrenceville was also referred. The Board of Viewers held a meeting on the assessment o benefits by the laying of the sewer on -Nineteenth street, and to-day will hear appeals for damages by the grad ing o Linden 6treet and to-morrow by the grading of Oakland avenue. THE! COULDN'T BE CORNERED. Defendants in the Bract Boycott Case Called Up in Tnln. Before Master M. A. "Woodward, the bearing in the Brace Bros.' case yesterday elecited lively interest. Joseph S. Mur doch, their driver, testified that he lost 15 customers out of 1,000 during the boycott. C. H. Brace was recalled and said he recognizd Messrs. Dicus and Dovey as having followed his wagons. The defendants were then called and asked to give their full names and ocenpations. John M. Kelly objected to being examined, on the ground that the evident purpose was to connect him with the boycotting by rea son of his being an editor ot a labor paper, and a member of the organizations inter ested. The objection was overruled and Mr. Kelly said he was proprietor, editor, publisher, and everything but the printers' devil, of the Commoner and Glass Worker. Mr. Dovey was called, but his counsel ob jected, for the reason that he was a de fendant and that the facts might -be proved by other witnesses. This was finally over ruled, and Mr. Dovey said he was Master "Workman of D. A. 3, but had resigned in November, 1887. His attorney, Mr. Porter, objected to several questions in regard to his relations with the organization and was sus tained. Mr. Jennings took np the remainder of the session in trying to identify a letter to Brace Bros., alleged to have come from Felix Mair, making Brace Bros, the one exception to the firms whose laundry work they were to take a hand in delivering, and especially indicating that all deliveries to that firm would be obstructed. None could or would identify the signature, however, and the hearing was adjourned for a week. TITTBURG'S RESOURCES. flow Tfaey Will be Laid Before the Com mercial Nations of the World. "While the reputation of Pittsburg and vicinity as a great manufacturing center is widespread, there is a want of information as to the multiform articles made. Even Pittsburgers are at a loss when abroad to specify beyond the primary staple articles. "With the object of disseminating such knowledge, Mr. Geo. H. Thurston will pub lish in the early spring a "Cyclopedia of the Workshops. Manufactures and Other Inter ests ot 'Pittsburg and Vicinity." The title indicates the character of the letter press of the work and its scope. Such a publication will be especially valuable to those whose specialties are described and illustrated, and to the manufacturing interests of the whole county generally, as Mr. Thurston will distribute at his own expense copies of the work, handsomely bound and printed, not only through the United States but alo to the'ehief business centers of England, Ger many, France, South America, Japan and Mexico. In the last 30 years Mr. Thurston has pub lished four or five statistical and historical works relative to Pittsburg and vicinity, which have become authorities in all quart ers where received. The proposed work will handsomely supplement those as a standard book of reference as to the thousand and one articles produced in Allegheny connty. IN SEED OP CARS. The Citizens' Line Contracts for Ten More Cable Cars. The Citizens' Traction road yesterday contracted with the Pullman Company for ten more cars to be used on the cable road. Mr. C' L.

' Ta -the StekMders'F'1 OF THE BANK DF PITTSBURGH At a meeting of the directors of the Bank of Pittsburg, held at the banking- house on th- 13th day of December, A. D.1888.1t was re- " solved unanimously that the following memo- rial and circular notice to the stockholders of this bank be adopted, and that the same be printed and sent to the stockholders: and also that the same be published in the newspapers for the information of tbe public and of thow ' stockholders wbose residences are unknown. JOHN HARPER; President W. ROSEBURG, Cashier. TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE BANK OF PITTSBURG. n It is proper that the stockholders of this bank should know tbat its charter will soon ex pire, and understand its position in that event. The bank was first chartered in the year .1814, and after tbe renewal and extension of its charter by sundry acts of Assembly, fini'ly came under tbe provisions of the Act of As sembly of tbe 16th of April, 1850. and its sup plements, under which it was chartered and re chartered. By the act of the 19th of March, 1861), its char- ' ter was extended for the term of 20 years from the expiration of its then existing charter. As a consennence.'if its present charter be not re newed. ft must expire, and its affairs be wound np by five trustees to be elected by the stock holders at a general meeting called for the"., purpose. In case of a failure to provide trus tees, its assets would necessarily be taken into -custody, under an order of a court of equity, to . be collected and disbursed for the benefit of creditors and stockholders. Tbe effect of an expiration of the charter win be to convert tbe claims of the stockholder Into a pecuniary demand upon the fund for tbo stock of each stockholder and its incre ment. As more than one-half of the stock is held by executors, trustees and persons in s fiduciary capacity, and by females, a reorgan- ' ization under a new and original charter cannot be effected, because trust f unds cannot be in vested without the authority of the-proper tribunal, a thing involving a practical Impos sibility. It Is obvious, therefore, that without a re newal and extension of the present charter, the "old" Bank of Pittsburg, so long known and - esteemed as a rock of security, and the helper and supporter of tbe men of business, and even, of other banks, will come to an end, and its large cnpital and assets taken out of the business of Pittsburg and ad jacent territory into private bands, many in distant place9. The loss to the wbola community, and the effect of the collection of its assets and withdrawal of its capital upon tbe business men and tho customers of tho bank, will be disastrous and ruinous. The city of Pittsburg and adjacent cities and country cannot afford to Ioso tbo capital, business and' stability of the bank. This condition of affairs is stated because,, since the last recbarter of the bank, the new constitution has presentedabarrierto renewal, wbich must be understood. By the seventh section of the third article of the new constitu tion, no special law to recbarter the bank. can' be passed. This necessitates the passage of a general law. and none such now exists. The Dank cannot reorganize under the bank ing company law of the 13th of May, 1878, for articles of association under it must be entered into by persons, each one competentnd in bis own right, who must make a certificate under their bands specifying tbe terms of association, . and complying with the law, and acknowl edging tbe same before a judge or notary nublic In such a proceeding, necessarily a 11 trustees, and others acting in a fiduciary ca pacity, whose investmentneedstbeantborftyof the proper tribunal, must drop out, and tho bank lose probably one-half its capital. Such a reorganization cannot supply tbe place of the "Old Bank" and would not command its in fluence and ability. It therefore becomes a duty to the stockhold er?, and to the public so much interested, to make known to them tbe situation of the- mat ter, that an enlightened understanding of tha necessity of a general law may exist, applicable -to this bank, and all others needing the means of renewal. ja3-37 TO LET.
