THE PITTSpTJBG- DISPATCH TUESDAY, JANUARY' 29," "l889.; , $ SEAL BDSIBESS Considered and Transacted in Councils Yesterday. KO FOOLING WITH TITLES Seems to be Wanted by City Solons Tony Carts Talked Of. 'ELECTRIC POLKS, TRACTION, GAS. The Major's Report With Its Suspended Judgment on Merits. The Controller says in his communication: "The amount above provided in sinking fund appropriation No. 29 is nominal. For many years until I8S6 there was appropriated $13,500, when the accumulations were used in payment of street bonds. Since then the amount was reduced as an enforced economy, but a mini mum of 5.000 per annum should be placed in this fund for the next 23 jears to meet certain funded debts not otherwise provided for. The law in this matter has been evaded and ignored in spirit and letter, as mav be learned by refer rinrrto pace 111, sections SS and 89, of the City Digest. 'The appropriation No. 40, municipal con solidated sinking fund, is a new item and rep resents what should have accumulated during the past 11 years, when no appropriations were maue for the purpose. It had been overlooked by mv predecessors, and when I discovered the fact 1 endeavored to create this fund a few jears ago, but was unable to press the point. The law relating to this point is explicit, and I insist that the full appropriation be made now to cover the omission." The Mayor's office report was as follows: RECEIPTS OF MAYOR'S OFFICE.

HARRISON HAS THE FULL LIST, IMPORTANT WORD FK0M ASSESSORS The first thing that drew fire in Select Council yesterday, on concurrences with Common Council, was a resolution that the State House of Representatives be asked to prevent the passage of Senate bill Io. 4, limiting the duration of the lien of county, city, borough, township and school taxes find municipal improvement loans. Mr. Eobertson denouueed the bill as Vicious and dangerous. Mr. Lambie characterized it as unjust in the extreme, and a mere scheme to lighten lawyers' labors more than anythinc else, and that they ought to be legislating for safety and no one's convenience. He said it would let out the Penn avenue compromis ers who owed the city 5125,000 under the compromise. The Supreme Court had de cided that they could not be made to pay for their improvements, bnt at the same time as they had been benefited and ought to pay something, the court had refused to talje the cloud off their titles, and Mr. Lambie held it would be an outrage to relieve them. He said that for 0 years legislation had been directed to make security greater in public matters than in private from the fact that individuals look after their private inter ests while they were apt to be careless as to the general welfare. Subsequently Mr. Lambie ttated that the loss on Penn avenue liens would be much more than 5125,000. The resolution passed, as also another ask ing the Legislature to refrain from enact ing any legislation concerning Pittsburg until it had heard from a joint committee of five irom Councils, headed by the presidents of both bodies. Mr. McKee and others of fered amendments, but they were steadily Toted down. Up to this time there was considerable ght, bnt members hastened to Ehow that they still had some of the milk of human kindness in them by passing a resolution that children's carts., etc, drawn by ponies, dags and goats be exempt from payment of vehicle tax. The perambulator is also ex empt. ELECTRIC POLES XSD TRACTION. An ordinance granting the East End Electric Light Company permission to erect poles was attempted to be made more stringent, by amendments offered and talked for by Messrs. McKee, Sullivan and Cox; but it finally passed, with but one weight attached, and that by Mr. Lambie, that the poles be erected under the super vision of the Chief of the Board of Public "Works. An ordinance which passed finally was one giving the Central Passenger Railway Company right of way, etc. Mr. Robertson called up an ordinance re pealing an ordinance granting natural gas companies the right to lay pipes in streets, etc, and this led to an animated fight be tween him and Mr. Lambie. Mr. Robertson said the decision of the Supreme Court had left the city to the mercy of any parties who chose to tear up streets, and that notwithstanding it was thought to be in the line of securing com petition, there was in fact none. Mr. Lam bie said he agreed that competi tion was very nearly choked off, bnt thought Robertson's ordinance would complete the asphyxiation. Mr. Robertson ' said the repeal of the, ordinance would re vive that of August, 1885, giving the city control of the streets; but Mr. Lambie held that the effect would be just the opposite, and cited the constitution of 1874 in proof, otherwise the proposition would have merit. He moved to refer back to the committee, as he said one law could not be revived by the repeal of another. THE GAS CA3T COME IN. Mr. Lambie's motion prevailed, and a whisper floated around the chamber that "the object of the repeal was to prevent Jones & Laughlins', Park Bros & Co. et al, entry into the city eo as to secure monopolv of the fuel, notwithstanding Mr. Robert Eon's claim that his repealing ordinance was intended to have the opposite effect. The matter could not be taken in out of the wet before Mr. Cox remarked anent a proposition to have the Board of Public "Works supervise such work, that the chief thereof had decided thit the streets were wide enough to allow the Philadelphia Gas Company to dig a canal along them if it chose. When the protest was read from the Miller Forge Company against giving a contract to a Cleveland company Mr. Bigelow made the same explanation given in Common Council, and it was efiective, the protest being put on file.

In Common Council Mr. Magee pre sented a resolution asking the Honse of Representatives to defeat the Senate hill limiting the duration oi liens for taxes and municipal improvements. Unanimously adopted. The Chair read a communication from the Chief of the Department of Public Safetv in regard to the Twenty-seventh ward hose house. Chief Brown recommended a hose and engine house, near the intersection of Washington and Brownsville avenues, and another on the line of the Thirty-second ana Thirty-fifth wards. Mr. Binder moved that the ordinance for a hose house on Myr tle street, Twenty-seventh ward, be indefin itely postponed. Lost and Mr. Carr had the ordinance seut back to the Committee of Public Safety. Thp report of the Board of Awards, pre viously published, was approved. The Miller Forge Company sent in a communi cation saying that they had presented the lowest bid for a crank for engine 3 at the water works, bui by a clerical error had neglected to sign the bid, and it was con sequently tnrown out They asked that new bids be taken. Mr. Bigham said the difference in the bids was $000, and if it could be done with out injury to the service he would like to readvertise. Chief Bigelow said the Miller Forge Com pany had had a full set of papers furnished it that a child could have bid on. When the bids were opened one was unsigned, which afterward proved to be the Mil ler company's bid. After some trouble a few months ago the Board of Awards de cided not to consider bids that were irregu lar. For this reason the bid was rejected. Mr. Bigelow asked that the board be sus tained. If it were not, bids of an irregular nature would be put in until good bidders would quit, and only scalawags would do city work. The board was approved. ASSESSORS' COMMUNICATION. The Select Council resolution calling on the heads of departments for a list of their employes, their duties and salaries, was passed. The ordinance repealing the ordi nance for the opening of a part of Boquet street wa passed finally. The following communication was re ceived and filed: Pittsburg, January 28. 1SS9. To the President and Members of Select and Com mon Council: Gentlemen The undersigned Board of As sessors respectfully report that they have com pleted the triennial assessment of 1SS9, and au calculations based upon appeals so far con sidered and acted upon, believe that the aggre gate valuation or the several subjects of taxa tion will be $191,072,000. In making this assessment the requirements oi the new city charter have been strictly ad hered tn, and the board, from the inception of the work, throughout its progress and until its close has encouraged its lullest publicity in all its details. The result ot this has been to bring to them the oninions of very many taxpayers and owners, under oath and otherwise, resulting in labor for this office unprecedented. We have adhered to the maxim that in a "multitude of counsel ors there is wisdom." and through these we hope to have attained in the end an approxi mate equalization of values throughout the city. Owing to the innumerable opinions thus brought forward requiring examination, com parison and digestion, the completion of the work is delayed beyond our expectation. We find that this procedure has worked well, and that blunders of Judgment, clerical errors, etc, are thus '-caught up." and that the result fixed by us in almost every instance is satisfactory to the taxpayer. The almost universal query from intelligent property owners is this: "Arevou bringing up all people to the cash value, and is the equalization to be all over the city I If so, ve aia tuineiifc auu UUUK frooa win oe UOOe. The requirements of the new city charter as o the price at "last recorded sale" has created some feeling, but It bas been of inestimable benefit to us as one of the means in determin ing values. very repectfullly, Frank P. base, Philip Hoekr, J.

TUSU A BUSY BEE'S BUZZ Makes Senntor Allison Wish to Keep Ont of the Cnbinet-IIe Still Hns nn Eye on the Presidency Ills Reluct ance Fully Explnlned. rSrtCIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE D1SFATCII.1 Washington, January 28. Though it is the general impression here that the jour ney of Senator Allison to Indianapolis means that he is certain to accept the Treas ury portfolio in the Cabinet of President Harrison, those who have been closest to him here are not yet of that opinion. The Senator has been so positive in his assertions that under no circumstances would he ac cept a Cabinet position, "hat his friends j cannot believe that the persuasive powers of the President-elect will be sufficient to change his views.. Not only once but re peatedly has he asserted that nothing could induce him to change his ground on this rSFZCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.1 Indianapolis, January 28. William B. Allison is bnmping along over the Penn sylvania Railroad toward Washington to night with full details as to the next Cabi net stowed away under his No. Si night cap. The matter of the Cabinet is prac tically settled, and Allison knows it all, but all that anyone in Indianapolis, outside of B. Harrison, knows about it yet would be dear at a nickel. It isn't even known here whether Allison himself accepted or declined the invitation to leave the Senate for the Cabinet. Within 24 honrs from now, however, will be a good time to fish for Cabinet news in other and widely distant parts of the coun try. Messages now on the way here, or that will be on the way here within a day or two, will convey to the Hon. Benjamin Harrison the assurances of the distinguished consideration of several gentlemen, and the information that they regard the invitation extended to them of-such-and-sucb a date as a command to obey, which will be at once a dutv and a pleasure.' Anybody that can guess the signatures upon those messages can win first prize in the Cabinet guessing match, hands down. the invitations sent out. The formal communications making ten ders of Cabinet places have at last been sent out, it is said upon excellent authority, and answers are to be expected within two days. Senator Allison remained under guard at General Harrison's hcuse until 2 o'clock this afternoon, the President-elect sparing no pains to fulfill his promises that the Sen ator should not be bothered by the news paper men. The two statesmen did not leave the house, except for a short walk downtown, and then they stopped nowhere long enough to give the newspaper men a chance. The Senator's trunk was sent up to General Harrison's honse in the morning, and was brought back to the station on the same hack, summoned by telephone, that carried the Iowa statesman. A stalwart minion of the transfer company accompan ied Senator Allison to the ticket office, where he bought his ticket. "Keep me away from the reporters, if you can," said the Senator to the minion. "Iord, Senator, there's two of them right here behind you now," he replied. Senator Allison surrendered at that an swer, and was amiability personified. "Now, boys," he said, "yon know I'd like to tell you a column, but this has been a private conversation, you see, and I can't say a word." EIGHT TO THE POINT. "Well, can we say whether you are going to be Secretarv of trie Treasury?" "Now, you know I can't say that" "It needn't be told as coming from you, Senator. We'll make somebody else say it." "But nobody can say it." This was the nearest thing to a declara tion as to himself that the Senator would make, and it probably meant nothing, al though it might have been interpreted to be a hint that he was not going to be Secretary oi tne treasury, ne merely laugheu when asked as to the stories about his going to take the State Department instead of the Treasury, and remarked that the story was a good one. He came to the station alone, and no one but the reprrters appeared to bid him goodby before the train started at 3 o'clock. As an indication that he had a good deal upon his mind, it may be mentioned that he forgot SI change that was due him at the ticket office. It was picked up and carried to him by a reporter. Although he had plenty of time to make his train he seemed hurried and excited, but very happy through it all. After Senator Allison had gone, General Harrison strolled down town and stopped at a shoe store where he has been accus tomed to deal. "I want a pair of shoes that I can walk about in in Washington," he said. "I expect to do a good deal of walk ing there, and I want shoes made especially for it. They'll have to be high, because the mud is pretty bad there sometimes." ms foot short and stout. He finally settled upon extra high-laced shoes, of heavy leather, with a double sole. Six and a half was the Bize, and they will have to be made on a "D" last, to be wide enough for his foot. Judge C. H. Moore, of Plattoburg, N. Y., was one of to-day's callers. He has been somewhat prominent in the rural districts of New York, as a stump speaker and a Re publican politician, and is said to be, a strong friend of Warner Miller, in whose interest he called upon General Harrison. The South sent up its usual contingent to-day in the persons of R. T. Dow, a well known politician of Atlanta, who was a candidate for elector upon the Republican ticket in Georgia last fall, and who is now trying to get a Republican daily paper started at Chattanooga, and Dr. W. H. Stillwell, of Humboldt, Tenn. The colored delegation from Georgia is expected to ar rive during the night. State Auditor E. W. Poe, of Ohio, spent a little while with the President-elect to day, bnt insists there was no politics in his visit. The run of ordinary callers has been much lighter than usual, on account ot the disagreeable wet weather, and also because General Harrison has lately found so many excuses, in conference with statesmen and other business, to refuse to see callers, and to make them wait an hour or two for a three-minute interview, that people are getting a little discouraged about running out to sco the President-elect every time they come to town to do a bit of shopping and sell a load of hogs. kept awake by the babt. For the information of Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. McKee, it can be said that the babies are well, excent that little Benny wants his mamma, and is fractious when she won't come when he calls. Grandpa has to get up in the night two or three times, lately, and dandle the little fellow or walk about the house with him in his arms in order to get him to sleep after he has been crying for his mother. Mrs. Harrison's sister, Mrs. Lord, from Washington, is helping to take care of the children, and gets along very well, ex cept when Benny wakes up in the night and cries, and then grandpa has to be called. question. It is believed by these close friends that his journey to Indianapolis is the result of his refusal to accept a Cabinet office that had been formally tendered to him, and that he merely goes now out of courtesy to the President-elect, who desires to accomplish by personal solicitation what he could not by'letter or messenger. Mr. Allison's reasons, sav his Senatorial friends, are strong enough to deter anybody in his position from taking a Cabinet office. In the first place, he looks forward to again being a candidate for the Presidency in 1892. He recognizes that his chances for success in a contest for the nomination are slender, on account of his residence in a snre Repub lican State, and that even after the nomina tion the chances for success and defeat are about equal, but with all this he has the bee in his bonnet, and it will not 6top buzzing nntil he has had another whirl or two in a nominating convention. But leaving the question of the Presidency aside, he esteems his position in the Senate far more desirable than that of a Cabinet official. He is perfectly sure ofa re-election. He would begin another term of service next year, which would not be half expired at the time hen he would be laid on the shelf in case he should not be nominated or elected President or get a new lease of life ' in me uaDinet ot leas, suouia ne ne re tired in 1893 he would find his Senatorial position occupied. There willbe no Senator ial vacancy in Iowa until March 3. 1893, and for that vacancy he would have to con test with Senator Wilson, the incumbent, which would be a discourtesy not to be in dulged by .such a man as Senator Allison. Iu view of all these reasons, the close friends of Senator Allison will not be con vinced until they hear it from his own mouth that he has accepted or will accept a Cabinet position. They are willing to give odds that if Harrison has induced him to come on with a hope of persuading him to J vuuuc ma miuu ue win burei iuii. A 83,000 Picture Free.
