THE CHIEF TO STAND THE BRUHT.
The Engine House Lot Assessment Brought
Ont bj anlnquirr.
THE FEES BRIDGE QUESTION BOBS UP
The meeting ol Councils yesterday was In
teresting in many respects .to all portions ot
the city. The increase of 25 to the police
force was looked for and needed, although
the old rivalry between the Southside and
East End was enkindled afresh by the sug
gestion of the member from the Seventeenth
ward that 24 of the 25 new policemen would
go to the East End, while the Sonthside
would have to be content with L
The letter from Chief Brown to Common
Council asking non-concurrence in the
ordinance passed in Select purchasing a lot
in the Thirty-first ward for" fire purposes
created considerable talk, and the high
price asked induced an inquiry
into the Southside assessments
in that locality which were found to ran
from $500 to $1,500, and the suggestion that
a revision of the assessors' lists based on the
prices asked the city for lots was not alone
well received bnt may materially increase
the taxes on the next triennial assessment.
Free bridges were also- freely discussed.
The only one who may have cause to regret
the action of both branches of Councils yes
terday is Chief Brown, of the Department
ot Public Safety, who will have about 500
applicants to filh the 25 positions on the po
lice force made possible by yesterday's pro
ceedings. A RBIST OF OBDrNAHCES.
In the Select branch on the call of the
wards the following ordinances and peti
tions were presented and properly referred:
Ordinances for grading, paving and curbing
Boquet ftreet from Atwood to Bates streets;
opening Cypress street from Edmond to
Matilda streets; vacating Valley street from
Xiong alley to Forty-fifth street; grading and
paving Yew street from Mathilda street to a
point 275 feet east; grading, paving and
curbing Breed alley from South Fourteenth
street to Union alley; establishing the grade
of Breed alley from South. Fourteenth street
to Union alley; petition for police patrol
and fire alarm boxes in the Fourteenth
ward; petition for water pipe on Howe
street; ordinances providing for the taking
and approval of corporate surety by the
citr.
The ordinance authorizing the Chief of
the Department of Public Safety to employ
25 additional patrolmen was passed unani
mously, although Mr. Munroe took occa
sion to inquire what-necessity there was for
so many extra policemen. Mr. Lambie
called for the reading of Chief Brown's let
ter on the subject, in which it was stated
that there were bnt two policemen in the
whole Thirteenth ward.three in the Twenty
second ward, and in other parts of the city
where the population was large and grow
ing there was absolutely no police protec
tion. Ko further argument was necessary,
and the resolution was passed.
THAT ENGINE HOUSE SQUABBLE.
Chief Brown's letter requesting the recon
sideration of the ordinance authorizing him
to pay 52,700 for a lot in the Thirty-first
ward was accompanied br a letter be bad
just received from Morrison & Banks, real
estate agents, xne uoiei s letter was that
published Saturday morning. Thatof
Mor- I
kisten I
nson & Banks stated that Rev. E. J. Coster
had withdrawn bis offer of two lots on Allen
avenue; opposite those of J. E. Glass, which
the Chief had proposed buying forv $1,709,
and that Mr. Coster intended to use the lots
himself, though he felt satisfied that $1,700
was fuli value for the property.
The agents' letter continued:
We reiterate what we have already said, that
no lot on Allen avenne or any other, except
Washington avenue. Is worth more than tSOn or
t90a We sold a lot 2oxl06 feet, corner Allen
avenne and Freeland street, one square from
the lots you acreed upon, for $550 last week, and
It has been offered at that price for four months.
We also make the following as
sertions: The J ustice of the Peace. James Ban,
or Beltiboover borough, who executed the
deed, states that the lots you agreed to bny
were bought for 11,600, and we had the same to
sell at 1,400 last summer. The Vierheller lots
were offered to us at 11,650 late in the summer,
and no such prices were eTer asked until the
advent of an engine house or desire of the city
to purchase lots.
The agents, continuing, stated that in
the interests of the taxpayers, they felt com
pelled to raise their voices against the un
just price which the Chief intended to pay
for the Glass property, as it was double the
Talue of the ground. t
To offset this letter a petition, signed by
27 citizens of the Thirty-first ward, was pre
sented, in which it was stated that 52,700
was a fair and reasonable price for the Glass
lot, as it was situated on the corner ot two
good streets. Climax street and Allen ave
nne, was 50x117 feet in size, and that
the price was no higher than
was being asked for other lots
less favorably situated, in same vicinity.
The petition stated further that the Coster
lots that had been offered for $1,700 were not
nearlv so desirable, being smaller, uneven
and located in a much inferior place, their
Talue being over $1,000 less than the Glass
lots. Accompanying this petition were affi
davits from John Alger and Albert Vier
heller, two well-known property holders of
the Thirty-first ward, who each declared
that the Glass property was fully worth
$2,700, and that they each owned property
in the vicinity of the Glass lots, but while
theirs were smaller they would not take
552,700 for them,
NISBET SQUARED HIMSELF.
The papers were all secured and filed and
a motion to reconsider the ordinance 'or the
Purchase of the Glass lots was offered. Mr.
i isbet took occasion to repeatedly state that
he bad nothing to do with Chief Brown's
negotiations for the purchase of the Glass
property. He wanted to square himself, he
said, because he had been charged with
being a party to the transaction. But
while he would not oppose the reconsidera
tion of the ordinance, he believed that the
lot originally selected was the best to be
found in the ward for the engine house ana
r .U ...... If. T!.1..i -t l . .i . .
jur uc iuuucj, .Lu.r. .uisuefc wougnt tne let
ter to Chief Brown lrom the agents and, in
fact, the whole controversy about the prop
erty was the result of a fight among real
estate agents.
Mr. Lambie hastened to inform Mr. 2Jis
bet that his evident apprehension that he
was being accused of dabbling in the city's
real estate purchases was entirely un
founded. He also pointed out that whne
Chief Brown asked the reconsideration of
the ordinance, it was evident that he still
believed the lots well adapted to the pur
pose, and the probabilities were that he
would finally decide to buy them after all.
Mr. "Warmcastle thought that if the city
did not buy this lot lor $2,700. the Councils
should instruct the city assessors to go
over that oart of the Thirty-first ward and
make a new assessment. He bad investi
gated and found that this identical property
was assessed at less than $800, and the prop
erty all along there was assessed at corre
sponding values. If the property was worth
$2,700, it should be assessed at that.
The ordinance was then reconsidered by a
unanimous vote and referred back to the
Chief of the Pnblic Safety Department.
An ordinance vacating" Columbia street,
from Pike street to the" Allegheny river,
was next called up. Mr. Keating offered
an amendment providing that when Howe,
Brown & Co., or the Allegheny Valley
Bailroad Company, the present owners of
the property abutting on that street, shall
cease to nse it for manufacturing purposes,
then the street shall revert to the use of the
pnblic
Mr. Keating stated that the object of his
amendment was to prevent Howe. Brown &
.J ?
Co., or the Allegheny Valley Bailroad
from making any disposition ot the street if
they should happen to sell their property.
Mr. Perry said that Columbia street runs
from Mulberry alley to tha river. From
Pike street to the river was inaccessible to
anybody, bnt Howe, Brown & Co., who
had recently bnilt new furnaces, and re
qnired more room for storing their steel.
They had been unable to buy anv ground,
and as this street would answer tfieir puz-.
pose they might as well have it. j
SHOULD HATE ENCOURAGEMENT.
Mr. Warmcastle and Mr. Seating both
held that a manufacturing concern like
Howe, Brown & Co. should be encouraged
by the city when it could be done atso little
expense. The crowded condition of the
loner part of the city lad already caused
the loss of too much of her bone and sinew,
in the shape ot her1 manufactories, and when
it could be prevented so easily as in this
instance, should be done without quibbling
by Councils.
The amendment was passed, and the ordi
nance was referred for reprinting.
Toe following ordinances were passed
nnaily:
Opening Larimer avenue from Station to
Broad streets; opening Gloster street from
Vespusius to Renovo streets; opening Dull
street from Wylie to Webster streets: opening
Perry street from Webster to Bedford streets;
opening Blair street from Iiowry to Benovo
streets; opening Conrad street from Penn to
Breed's Hill streets: opening Braden alley from
Meadow to Everett streets; establishing grade
of Wilmot street from Boquet to Ward streets;
locating Fresco alley from Ward street to
Meyran avenue; locating Iowa street from
Rampart to Alequippa streets: establishing the
grade of Water street from Grant to Smith
Held streets; sewer on Braddock avenue from
Penn avenue to Edgerton avenue; locating
Smith street from Eyth's property line to Ha
zel wood avenue; grading, paring ana curbing
Perry street from Wylie arenuo to Webster
avenue; grading, paving and curbing Mifflin
street from Mam street to Friendship avenue.
In the Common Branch.
President Holllday called Common Coun
cil to order yesterday for the first time since
his accident. On the call of wards the fol
lowing ordinances and petitions were offered
ana properly referred. An ordinance re-establishing
the grade o Madison street; va
cating Sidney street; opening' Sharp alley,
Nineteenth ward; granting Larimer and
Lincoln AVenue Street Railway right of
wavover certain streets; grading, paving
ana curbing Park avenue; grading and pav
ing Arlington avenue and opening Cicero
alley.
Mayor McCallin sent in the reports of the
chiefs of different bureaus, together with a
communication to the effect that he had not
had time to give them a close examination
in order to comment'on them, bnt that he
would probably send in a communication
before the appropriation ordinance was
passed. The reports were received and
filed.
The Committee on Pnblic Worka sent in
ordinances for the dedication of Kuhn and
Hill streets, Thirty-second ward; grading
and paving Locust and Kent alleys; ap
proving the Wallingford street sewer; grad
ing Sapphire street and opening Closson
street. Thev were all approved.
Ordinances for grading, paying and curb-J
ing Baum street, .Howe street, ttheridan
street, 15-inch pipe sewer on Emily street,
Howard street, Larimer street and Sum
merlea street were passed finally.
CAME OVER FBOM SELECT.
The following business was messaged
from Select Council, and concurrence
asked: An ordinance authorizing the
Chief of the Department of Public Safety to
engage 25 additional patrolmen; a resolu
tion asking the Chief of the Department of
Public "Works to secure estimates on
the repaying of a portion of But
ler street; granting the Chief the De
partment of Public Safety the right
to engage one additional lineman;
a resolution relative to the free bridge
question. An ordinance granting the Chief
of the Department of Public, Works the
right to determine the material to be used
in all sidewalks and curbing; also an ordi-
nance requiring the owners of public lots to
connect with public sewers by underground
sewers. This last ordinance was referred
bacK to the Committee on Public Works for
alterations.
Ordinances were presented for the vaca
tion of part of the Morningside road, re
locating Williams street, vacating Livery
alley, changing the name of Hiland avenue
to Highland avenue, establishing the grade
of McKee place, relocating Cabine. street,
establishing the grade of Enterprise street,
locating Cobden street, establishing the
grade of Moore and Baldwin streets, and
locating "Warton and Gladstone streets were
passed finally.
MOEE PATBOLMEN NEEDED.
The ordinance granting the Department
of Pnblic Safety 25 additional officers was
taken up.
Mr. Carnahan stated that the necessity for
new officers was apparent when only seven
officers were on dntv at night in the East
End. "
Mr. Maree thought that Chief Brown Vas
a little timid in making the request, and he
should have 50 new officers, but he would
compromise and amended that it be 35 in
stead of 25. Messrs. Carnahan and Mc
Gunnegle opposed this and ihe amendment
was finally withdrawn and the ordinance
passed finally.
The resolution offered in Select Council
in which B. F. Jones, who is the only sur
vivor of the Board of Appraisers appointed
in 1873 by the Legislature, be asked to fill
ud the board, was taken up.
Mr. Magee stated that Councils had ap
pointed a committee on the bridge question,
on which the Southside had a majority of
the members. This committee was a per
fectly competent one, and he thought it was
not courteous on the part of any member to
hand in a resolution without consulting
them. The act establishing that board was
passed 17 years ago, and "the board would be
no good to-day. There was no record where
this board had ever held any meeting or or
ganized, and it was hardly right to ask the
Councils now to put new life into a body
that never had life, and ask them to ap
praise property, not what it was 17 years
ago, bnt vastly greater in value.
WHAT SOUTHSIDEBS SHOULD DO.
In doing so the board might set a price
that the people wonld not have, bnt which
they would have to stand by, as the board
had been selected at their own request. -It
behooved Soutbsiders if they wanted free
bridges to steer clearof this commission.
Mr. Carnahan, after reading the act estab
lishing the board, was ot the opinion that
Mr. Jones, being the only survivor, had no
leraJ'right to fill up the board by appoint
ments.
' Th msftr w ihpn nut in & vote And ihp
resolution was defeated.
Mr. MtGunnegle called up an ordinance
granting the contract for this erection of a
board wale on uralg street, Anirieentn ward,
to John King & Co., and moved for its final
adoption.
Mr. Duncan amended that the matter be
indefinitely postponed, stating that the citi
zens had gotten tired waiting on Councils
and had put in a board wait themselves.
Mr. McGunnegle stated that he had been
informed that the board walk now down was
in the middle of the street, and the people
refused to have it
Mr. Duncan's motion was defeated, as was
also a motion to hold the ordinance over
until the next meeting, and the original
motion b Mr. McGunnegle was adopted,
the ayes and nays being called.

THE CITIZENS' MEETING TO-NIGHT
Will Consider legal, Equitable and Finan
cial Bearings.
A BIG SICK AGAINST THE INCLINE
The citizens of Dnquesne Heights are on
the warpath. A meeting 'of Thirty-fifth
ward citizens bas been called for Friday
evening to consider the matter of erecting
steps from the too ot the hill to Carson
street The people who are at the head of
the movement claim to be forced into this
action by the iron-clad rules and independ
ence of the Dnquesne Incline Company.
Among the complaints raised is one
against the 6-cent fare. It is said this is
the only incline in the city where a 6-cent
fare is charged. The company has always1
argued that the corporation lost money for
quite awhile after the erection of the incline,
but the citizens claim it is making money
now, an1 the company could well afford to
reduce the fare, and the movement to erect
steps is one to force a reduction of either
fare or traffic
Another cry raised is that the incline
stops running at 1220 at night, and does
not start again until 220. This is claimed
to be a great inconvenience, especially for
the millmen, a large number of whom live
on the heights. Some are supposed to go to
work at 2 o clock, and they either have to
lose a heat or walk down the hill.
WHAT AX OBJECTOB SATS.
Frank Gordon, one of the citizens inter
ested in the scheme.said last evening. "The
feeling is general all over the ward that the
incline people are not doing the right thing
by the citizens. The proposition to erect
the steps is favored unanimously, except by
those who are interested financially in the
incline. "We only need about $800 or $900
to put up the steps, and a few of us while
talking about the matter a day or two ago,
raised $185, so you see it won't be hard to
raise the funds. The great trouble with our
people on the hill, is that so many of the
industrial men have large families of chil
dren, and if they use the incline very much
it has a serious effect on their salaries. The
company sells a monthly ticket for $1 50,
but they are so arranged that the holder
cannot ride up and walk down, and the
ticket must be used in the month for which
it was purchased."
Alex. Ferguson, Esq., has been retained
by the citizens to take charge of the matter
and secure the right of way for the steps.
He was engaged all day yesterday examin
ing the properties over which it is desired
to erect tne steps. t is tne intention to
start at a point about 700 feet east of the top
of the incline and come out 150 feet above
the south end of the Point bridge. The
landing will be opposite the end of Cawley
street, located across the tracks of the Pan
handle road, sjbr the purpose of preserving
egress and ingress for the people who live
on the side of the hill abovr the railroad.
HE STEUCK A SNAO.
When Mr. Ferguson visited the County
Commissioners' office he discovered that
most of the property over which the steps
are to be located is owned by Alex. Himick
and Singer, JoTimick & Co., and
as Mr. Kimick is a director
in the Dnquesne Incline Company,
it is expected that some trouble will be ex
perienced in sesuring the rightof way. Su
perintendent Brown, of the City Engineer's
office, promised to aid the citizens in any
way he conld in. securing a right of tray.
The citizens claim to have no selfish motives
in the -matter tnrther than a desire to pro
vide something that will be of a substantial
benefit to their people. It is proposed to
erect the steps at their own expense and
donate them to the city if the latter will
agree to keep them in repair.
The incline people say it is a political
dodge on the part of the citizens to defeat
Mr. Holliday, who is also interested in the
incline. Mr. Gordon denied this statement
He said the oitizens had held a caucus and
indorsed S. McCombs in opposition to Mr.
Holliday, but it was not because the latter
is concerned in the incline.
The Dnquesne Heights citizens are pro
ceeding in about the same manner as those
of Mt Washington did a few years ago
when concessions were secured from the
Monongahela Incline Company.
