ORE YEARGflOWTH. Pittsburg's Kemarkablc Prosperity Shown by an Increased Val uation of Millions. MOKEY SPEKT ON KEff BUILDINGS. The Board of Assessors Preparing for the Triennial Valuation of eal Estate. APPEOPEIATIOXS FOR TEE KEIT TEAR. Fiauec Cemnittes Approves tie Pnrehue ef Bon Prk Preprty. Tbe three members of the City Board of Assessors are hustling tbese days to com plete the valuations iu time for the assess ment of taxes for 1891. AThile their work this year is confined to new or im proved buildings and personal property, tbe latter a comparatively insignificant item. Chief Assessor Case estimates that that the valuation of city property lor the tax levy of 1891 will exceed by 4,000,000 or $5,000,000 that of 1890, when it aggre gated S200,453,62G. Of this amount the personal property valuation was less than 1 per cent, or $1,873,359. The increase for 1891 therefore shows the enormous amount of money which has been spent on buildings iu Pittsburg withiu tbe past year, and is a remarkable evidence of the growth of the city, as there have been but very few big blocks erected, the bulk of the money having been expended for mod est store buildings and dwelling houses. THE TRIEXXIAI) ASSESSMENT. Xext year the assessors will have to re value every inch of real estate in the city for the triennial assessment. At present, for both citv and county purposes, valua tions of realty are made every third year, and no changes are made in the interim. Heal estate is divided into three classes city, rural and agricultural. The first is taxed upon its full value, the second at two thirds and the last at one-half. The triennial assessment under which real estate in this city is now taxed was the first made by the present Board of Asses sors under the new charter. It was a diffi cult and tedious job. Every piece of property had to be valued on the basis of the last recorded sale, if one of late date had been made, and if not, upon the basis of a recorded sale of neighboring property. Iu some localities there had been no sales made for years, this being particularly the case upon some of the large estates where the property is never sold, but merely leased for long terms of years. To determine the value of this, required considerable knowledge ol real estate transactions throughout the entire citv. The work was finally Cone, and although there were a J number of appeals from the assessments, but few were changed, and the people generally appeared satisfied. A BASIS TO BEGIN UPON. The work of the assessors next year will, of course, he considerably simplified, as they will have the figures of the last trien nial assessment as a basis from which to start, li the financial outlook in this city is as good then as now, a great increase in the value of real estate is expected. The assessors expect to get especially good results in the neighborhood of Schenley Park, where tbe ownership of a oO-foot front lot allows the fortunate posessor-to rank with Midas. Two years ago tne value of this property nas merely anticipatory on tbe acceptance and develop ment ot the pirk. There are some patriotic citizens who claim that the Independence Day celebration on July 4 appreciated the value of this pmperty wonderfully, as it brought out a number of wealthy persons who were deeply impressed with the beauty of tho surroundings. The advam e in real estate values is not confined to one neighborhood, howerer. All over tbe city it lias been and is still jumping. An number of new streets have been opened, and large tracts of land whicb bad been devoted to grazing purposes and amateur base ball games, are now parcelled off into building lots, upon many ot which dwellings hare airead been erected. EFFECT OF GOOD SEWERS. Then hole or the KascEnd has benefited by tbe construction of a mammoth system of tew ers which has made that purtion of the city as healthful as it is beautiful, and here again property has boomed. Down town the demand for business sites is fast driving ont the dwellings and as the snpply of this class of property is limited, the price has cone so far up that a purchaser has to stand upon a SI 0(i0,O0O-pile to touch any of it. Altogether, the next triennial a:se&snient is likely to prove a surprise, and a pleasant one. Mr V. A. Magee, Chairman of the Finance Committee, in speaking of the system of trien nial ass-essioents. said yesterday: "I think that real estate should be assessed oftcner than once every three years. In that period there are ttianv changes in tbe value of property, fcome depreciates while other appreciates. In tlas cm . liowet er, ir generally appreciates. In Philadelphia valuations are made every year, ami 1 believe this is tbe best way." Tbe work or tue Board of Assessors of Pitts burg is totally out of proportion to the co laborers in Philadelphia. Here the three members of the board do all the work. They visit the properties, examine the records, make tbe necessary inquiries, decide upon tbe value, and then listen to and dispose of appeals from their decisions fOSTS MOliE IN PHILADELPHIA. In Philadelphia they do things differently. They have a Board of Revision, composed of three menibers.at salaries of $5,000 a j ear. The cm is divided into 16 districts, and to each dis trict is assigned two assessors, who receive 2.500 a j ear a piece. The members of the Board of Revision merely dispose of appeals from the Sguiesof the district assessors. Tbe cost of this work amounts annually to S&5.000. In Pittsburg the same work is done by tbe Board of Assessors at an aggregate annual cost of sr,m Philadelphia is, of course, a larger city than Pittsburg, and as it is co-extensive with the county, one coips of assessors do tbe work fur both corporations, but the cost of assess ment iu Philadelnhia is out of all proportion as empared with tbe cost of tbe same work in Pittsburg. WANT MONEY TO SPEND. CITY DEPARTMENTS FIGURING ON NEXT YEAR'S APPROPRIATIONS. Treasurer Denniston Wants to Enlarge His Office More Clerks for the Board of Assessors Chief Brown Will Make the Traction Companies Help Him. The officials and chiefs of the various city departure its are already figuring on their requirements for next year so that the Finance Committee will not be delayed in the preparation of the next appropriation ordinance. From present indications there will be an increased amount required by sev eral offices and in others, while there will not be an increase, tbe same amount will be re quired next ear as they had this year. The City Treasurer will ask for an increased appropriation in order to make some alterations- in bis office and to employ additional clerk during tbe busy seasons of March and September. The increase he will ask for will be comparatively smalL Tbe Board of Assessors will ask for an in creas to buy books and pay extra expenses for the triennial assessment. When the last tri enn'al assessment was made tbe extra ex pense was borne by the board. Chief Brown tuinks he will require about the same amount as he bad this year for the De partment of Public Safety. He intends to ask for nower to appoint morn policemen, particu larly cornermen, but thinks that with the same appropriation he can pay ihem. now that he has all tbe police station houses in good shape. He says there is a great necessity for better police protection at tbe corners where tbe rapid transit cars pass, and this necessity will be greatly increased when tbe"Duquesne Trac tion Company gets its line in operation. Mr. Brown says that In Chicago at street crossings where tbe cable cars pass they have a policeman at each corner, four in all. He thinks two men at a crossing will suffice here, and intends to get an ordinance Introduced re quiring that number, with tbe provision that one-half tbe expense shall be paid by the city and the other half by the street railway com pany. If this ordinance is adopted the new men will be sworn in as regular policemen, and will be subject to extra duty and emergency duty as tbev are now, thus increasing the active police force of the city just that much at a compara tively small cost, Tbe Department of Public Works will prob ably require about tbe same amount next year also. 1 be improvement of the parks will be a large item in this department, and repaving of streets will be another. No report has been heard from the Depart ment ot Public Charities or the Central Board ol Education. AKOTHEE PAEK PURCHASE. Preparing the City's Answer to the Howard Bill in Equity. The Committee on Finance yesterday after noon affirmatively recommended an ordinance for the pnrchase of nine acres of land adjoin ing the Highland Park, at a cost of 500 per acre. The purchase was indorsed by Chief Bigelow, who has held au option .on the land tor some time. An ordinance providing for the sale of an acre and a half of ground belonging to tbe city, situated in the Seventeenth ward, was referred to a sub-committee, with instrnctions to inves tigate the value of the land and tbe likelihood of its being required for city purposes, and to report at tbe next meeting. Tbe meeting was composed of the present members of tbe committee, and the ex-members, who have been joined as defendants in tbe equity suit brought by Mr. Howard in re lation to the city's finances. Under the order made by the Court on October 30 the answer of the city and those named as defendants .must be bled on or before tbe 79th, a week from to morrow, or a decree would be entered against them. Tbe principal purpose of the meeting was to take action In tbe matter, and it was an ticipated tbat tbe line of defense would be thoroughly discussed. Instead, however, a resolution was adopted authorizing W. A. Magce, chairman of the Finance Committee, to answer for the members and the ex-members of the committee who arc joined as defendants. What the line of defense would be was left to Mr. Magee and tbe attorneys in the case. City Attorney Moreland and tue attorneys for tbe city depositors, tbe other defendants, will hold a consultation in a day or two to discuss tbe matter. Another meeting of the committee will probably be held after the consultation of the attorneys. FOUNDED IH PITTSBUBG. The De Wolf Opera Company Celebrates Its First Anniversary.

Belgian Block on a Concrete Foundation to he Used in Paring. KEAB.LT ALL TO BE EXPENDED AT 0XCE Allegheny City is to have improved streets, but the city is to be bonded to the extent of 5500,000 to mate the improve ments. All the streets over which the Pittsbur?, Allegheny and Manchester Traction Com pany will run its tracks are to be paved with Belgian block, on a concrete basis. The Committee on Streets and Sewers so recom mended last night, and instructed Con troller Brown to prepare an ordinance (or the issue of foOO.OOO worth of bonds for street improvements. The bonds to run 20 years. " There was no fight over the matter; the only question was the amount of the bond issue. It would very probably have been for $1,000,000 had it not been beyond the power of the committee to increase the bonded indebtedness of the city over 5 per cent of the assessed value of the taxable property in the city. As the valuation of the city is only ?50,000,000, the limit to the bonded indebtedness is $2,000,000. The present bonded indebtedness of the city is $1,788,000, so the new issue could not ex ceed about $700,000. AN ESTIMATE AS TO TUB COST. When the meeting opened City Engineer Ehlers presented his report on the cost of paving the streets traversed by the tracks of tho Pittsburg. Allegheny and Manchester Traction Company. The total number of square yards is 93,858. The estimate for paving tbis was as follows: With Belgian block, on the old gravel bed. $296,574; Belgian block, on concrete bed. 393.432; Belgian block, on a new gravel bed, 1336.117. Chairman MoAfce stated tho object of the meeting, and Councilman Hartman at once offered a resolution for the $500,000 bond issue. made a short address ' He had been through Buffalo and a number of other cities wbeie aspbaltum pavements were used, and he thought them the best in the world. "I have been quoted," said Mr. McCreery, "as saying I would not accept the best team and carriage in Allegheny as a present and have to drive It over tbese streess. Such an offer was made to me and I refused the horses, although they were magnificent animals. Our streets are not tit to put a horso on We are away behind tbe age. Tbe issue of bonds ought to bo for $1,000,000. The bonds will And ready sale, and if thev are not paid off in this generation the next can pay them. Our streets must be fixed, and another thing to be removed is that death trap, tbe Ft. Wayne Railroad. I am not a contractor, but I would be willing to take tbe contract for less than a million dollars aud elevate tbe tracks above the streets and not stop a single train. We citizens will not only appear before you, but we will also go before tbe Finance Committee and plead for this bond issue. More than this, the ladles of Western avenue have a petition for better streets, which they will lay before tbat committee." ONE OP THE CHANGES OF YEAES. John S. Slagle followed with a reminiscence of the time be was in Council and they issued $200,000 worth of bonds to improve the com mons. The people were ready to hang the Councilmen, but they would now be just as readv to hang any man who tried to abolish the park's. He believed it would be the same with the bond issue for street improvements. John Walker and Hay Walker theu made addresses in behalf of the bond issue. Mayor Wyman then stated he was in favor of better streets, but as the contracts are now let ont to a dozen different contractors and there is no ode to see thev do the work properly. Mr. Patton said mote attention sbonld be paid to the foundation of the streets, and the committee was almost unanimously in favorof having a concret . bed for all streets. Mr. Knox said: "At least 25 per cent of tbe money now expended on streets is lost because contractors do not do the work properly. We should have a street inspector wno should have no other duties than to see tbat all con tracts were fulfilled to the letter." Mr. Patton wanted to increase the bond issue to 51,000.000. but bis amendment found an early death, and the original resolution was passed unanimously. THE GOVEBjNOR-ELECT GOES THBOTJGH. He is After Best and Recreation and Not the Festive Interviewer. Governor-elect Pattison passed through the city last night on tbe limited, bound for Chi cago and Kansas City. The tip that he was to be a passenger reached the depot two hours in advance of the train, which was 40 minutes late, and quite a number of people were in waiting, hoping that they might get a look or word with tho gentleman. Tbis was particu larly true of the reporter', but they failed to connect in either particular. When the train rolled into tbe station tbe vestibule sleeping car, Germany, was found with the curtains closely drawn and not a rav of light to be seen inside. Inquiry elicited the fact that the Gov ernor was inside quietly sleeping, having left word not to be distnrbed on any account. Before the train left, however.

Corrigan got hold of one of the bill, and, see ing something about "Little Bob," Btarted to arrest him, and then the Captain laughed, for Little Bob turned out to be a figure used in ex hibitions of ventriloquism.

The Question of Eight Hours Will be Settled by Arbitration. CONTRACTORS ADOPT THEIR'PLAN. Formal Transfer of the Bessemer Plant to Carnegie, Phipps & Co. EUH0KS OP A STEEL SYNDICATE DENIED A second meeting of tbe contractors and builders of the two cities was held at the Builders' Exchange, last night, for the pur pose of considering the matter of either forming a new organization or affiliating with the Builders' Exchange. The Com mittee of Fourteen, that had been ap pointed at the previous meeting, reported, recommending that every builder and con tractor in Pittsburg and Allegheny become members of the Builders' Exchange. The recommendation was discussed for some time, and those present manifested considerable interest iu the matter. Some of those who spoke explained that if tbe con tractors expected to meet the demands of tbe workmen next spring it must be in an organ ized form. It was urged that no open flzbt against any of the organizations was necessary. Bnt if all contractors are bound together as the Builders' Exchange would bind tbem. they can then meet tbe labor organizations on equal ground with some cbance ot an amicable set tlement of any difficulty that may arise. The recommendation of the committee was adopted and at the next meeting of the Ex change it is expected there will be a great in flux of members. Mr. Lupton, who acted as Chairman, said after the meeting adjourned tbat the session had been perfectly har monious. "The object of this action." said he. "is to put ourselves in a position whereby we can confer with the workmen in a body and not as individuals. As yet there Is no fight on hand, and we do not want any, but we will not deal with tbe men as individuals. They are or ganized and we want to be so we can meet them on equal grounds. Wo Invite no trouble, and hone there will not be any." In this connection, it may be stated tbat committees have already been 'appointed representing tbe Builders and the Building Trades' Council for the nnrpoe of conferring on the proposed attempt to enforce tbe eight hour movement in this city next spring. Agent Irwin of the Carpenters' Council, saldlastnight, that this committee would probably hold a conference within the next week, and the result of tho meeting will be reported at the next meeting of the two organizations. It is regarded as a settled matter tbat eight hours will be asked for next spring and if tbe matter can be settled amicably it will be more satis factory all around. W. H. Nieman, tbe contract plasterer, is, however, authority for the statement that tbe contractors will tight the eight-hour movement, if an attempt should be made to enforce it. Said he yesterday: "The contractors will fight the eight-hour law to the bitter end. and you can look out for trouble in tbese cities next spring. Tbe contractors are not prenared to fight the demands ot the men should any be made, but they will he later on, and you will find tbat the contractors will stand together." HONE OP IT FOE THEM. Quaker City Green Glass Blowers Rather Averse to Co-Operation. A telegram from Philadelphia says; "At a meeting of tbe green glass blowers of this city, held Tuesday evening, the question of Arling ton's co-operative scheme wasbrougbt up for consideration. The Quaker City Assembly is tbe largest east of Pittsburg. There was a long and animated discussion on tbe Master Workman's policy, in tbe course of which Arrington, as a worker expressed it, was handled without gloves.' " The following res olutions were unanimonsly adopted: Itesolved. Tli.it Local Assembly 8239, of Phila delphia. Is emphatically opposed to entering the co-operative scheme proposed by Arrlnjcton and his colleagues, as wc believe it will not solve, in anv sense, the difficulty in which this trade is at present involved; and although Its enforcement might possibly please Mr. Arrington. yet we are decidedly averse to paying any portion of our hard-earned wages to satisfy tbe wishes of the man who recently admitted that he knew nothing practically about co-opcratlon. Kesolvea. That we demand the trade officials ac cept the conditions which at present prevail at the non-union factories, and endeavor to put as many of our idle men at work as soon as possible. Ibis course we deem sensible, practical, wise and expedient! Arrington's cours. is bolng generally con demned in this district.

One Killed Instantly, the Other Lingers for a Fen Hours. DIED IN TEI1KG TO SAVE HIS PEIEKD The folly of fooling on a railroad track was exemplified yesterday by a frolic which caused the death of twomen. The man who is "afraid of the cars" is not to be laughed at. "W. H. Klingensmith and W. H. Maphis were brakemen on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and were warm friends. Kling ensmith was 33 years old, single, and lived at Brinton. Maphis was eight years younger, had a wife and several children, and lived at Braddock. About 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon Klingensmith was standing on the step of the Port Perry shifting engine as it was slowly passing Kankin station. Maphis was standing on the track, and made a laughing remark to Klingensmith, and the two men began ban tering each other in a frolicsome way. The men made feints of assaulting each other, until finally Maphis assumed a burlesque tragedy air, and, running after the engine, which bad passed him, jnmped on tbe step and seized Klingensmith' by tbe ear. Tbe two men laughed and struggled on tbe step for a moment or two, nntil suddenly Klingensmith lost his footing and fell off tbe engine. The climax was so sudden and horrible that tbe bystanders could hardly tell what hap pened, but they saw Maphis struggling to pnll Klingensmith from under tbe wheels of the iron monster, and he then, too, went down. AVben tbe engine was stopped Klingensmith was dead, bis body having been ground np under tbe wheels. Maphis was still alive, but both of his legs bad been cut off at the thighs. He was brought to tbis city and taken to tbe Mercy Hospital, where he died last evening. The frolic was over, and King Death had claimed two subjects. Coroner McDowell will commence the in quest to-day. For TFet Weather Ladies should try a pair of C. A. Verner's "California" shoes soft uppers, stout soles, low heels, perfect fitting. J3 00. C. A.
