Ko Opposition Expected From the 33eiu- Icrs on Resolutions iutliorizing Irompt Action TEST CASES WILL FOLLOW&VERY SOOX. Chief Eigxlow Can Then Finish Allf Streets Already Contracted For. Unless seme othcrplan isadopteddietweem now and Monday afternoon, Councils win then be atced to take action in regard to petting Into effect thc"new street laws. The officials in charge of the matter feel that in accordance with the recently-passed act-, of tlm Trefulature they conld go ahead -with their preparations for improving streets and' collecting money on tlioo previously com pleted, but not paid for, and nobody-could ttop them. But they feel it w onld be better; tn have the matter formally msod upon by the local legislators in order to putc their authority beyond all ciuestioru This can be done by means of resolutions, which Councils could have no hesitation in nassinc:. A well-known Councilman stated vesterdar that resolutions had been pic-t pared lor introduction into Councils at Mon day's, meeting on this subject. One is to siuthorizo the City Attorney to go into court and ask for the appointment of vlcwc-s to assess property owners on streets com pleted and not paid up. Carrjiiig OutthcCurathe Act. The curative act was for this purpose, and Councils, by passing tho pa per, would simply Tatify and put into effect tho act or tho Leg islature. The other resolution is to instruct the Chief of the Department of l'uhlic Works to go ahead and complete -all the streets on which tho contracts had been let before the Supreme Court rendered its decision killing the old street improvement laws. CityAI tomc Moreland was spoken to about the resolution- veotcrday nltemoor. "1 havo had In my mind," said lie, "the idea of ha ing Councils take action on the street que-tion lor some time. Under the new cunitivo law 1 think I have the author ity to ak tho court to appoint lowers on the various completed streets, but I have about come to the conclusion that it would be better to act on a resolution of Councils. It -a ould do away with any possibility of ob jection to my actions in the matter. Aside, from that it is due in courtesy to Councils that they should lnno something to srtv in the matter. The same is "true in the completion of stivers where tho contracts have been awarded. Even since the street problem came up we have endeavored to adhere to every point of law on tho question, and since Councils have tho right to pass their judgment a to whether tl.e plan is a good one or nor. I think they should bo gi en opportunity to do so. Two Ordinances Under Consideration. "A resolution authorizing the proper pro cedure under the curative act, and another for the unfinished streets, will probably be introduced ii. Cornells Mr.nd.. though I am not vt no-it i". ubout tho matter."' Theouestion of Just how the citv would proceed to right it-ell after the Legislature had done all it could i- one in which there has bocn considerable interest felt. This has been the case not only in Pittsburg, but in other cities w here the peculiar situation in i hic'i this cit was lilaccd.and iLt method of getting out "of the troubfe have been closely watched. After llnal pa-sneeof tho new street bills tho city attorney expressed himself to thceifect that active operations in the line of getting things in proper shape wo'ild probably be begun without delay. On further consideration ot the question, howevei, became to tho conclusion that it would piobably be bettor to give Councils the opportunity of speaking their mind be Sore am thing was done. With this idea in view- tie will likely see that the resolu tions nbo o mentioned are introduced at Monday's meeting. "o 1'oint to lie Left Open. Since tho trouble began. 3lr. Jlorcland has devoted a largo portion of his timo to a critical studj- of the street improvement question in all its intricate phases. A a re sult of his researches he has determined to leave no point in tho procedure open for future criticism. He believes that Pittsburg lias now secured the very best street laws that ieal knowledge could construct. Tho only thing that remains is to carry thera out to the letter. There is little doubt that Councils will p.i an-.- sucit resolutions presented to them, sjnee it"is but carrjingout the objects of tho law- under which the city must act in the Hit me. A soon n this is done active prepa rations w ill be made for pushing the test suits through the courts as rapidly as pos sible. The method of procedure m these cases has already been outlined in Tuu DisrATcn. .An important feature of the new condition of affairs is the making up of documents lor luture ue. Xcw blanks tor petitions of propertv owners desiring improvements will all have to be printed in accordance with the recent acts. The city has a largo supply of old ones on hand, but they aie uscfess now. Many Ite-Ictitions Xecessary. In tho City Clerk's oflico are largo flies of ordinances, pat t tally or finally passed for opening, grading and paving streets. All of them, except those on which the contracts west; let, have fallen under the .supreme Court ax and will nave to be re-petitioned for. The latter number pyvr5flbut if Chief JSigelou is instructed to do so IJj Councils ho can have them all finished bj the close of theeai. Among other street matters coming before Councils at th: next meeting will be Air. lieatmg's ordinance repealing the ordinance lor the widening or Diamond street. Xot much diseussionisanticipatedou this paper, as it is presumably only intended to show some disposition on tho city records of the old ordinance killed by the Supreme Court.

MADE QUITE A DECBEASE. Mayor's Office Itcturns Affected by the Thinning Out of Speak-Easies. The mayor1 s l cport of the work done by police and police magistrates during the month of May shows a total of LOW arrests made H the city, 1,017 of which were in tho First district, 313 in the Second and 2SG in the Thir I. The revenues from nnc, forfeitures, costs, etc, amounted to ?6,-24'J 35; less than halt tho income from till same source for Slav of last year. This Is accounted lor by the" fact that m May, 1K0, Iuspoctor Mc Aleese made his memorable crusade against speak-easics, arresting and lining lsU propri etors of these places. Last mouth only 41 speak-easies w ere captured. Of the 1.C40 persons arrested last month 619 were lined, 1S4 went to jail, 313 to tho workhouse, 321 were discharged, three sent to tho lteform School, two to the hospital aud one held for court.

FORTUNES TO BE SPEST AMUALLT In 'Transforming tlfo Present Tovn to a E&il Second-Class City. Mil RTRTnEHIER LAIS DOWN THE LAW Allegheny citizens this fall will be called on to voto onincreasing tho bonded indebted ness to the amount of $750,000 and possibly $300,000. Of this amount $300,000 is to be ex pended in making streets for AUegucny. Another $200,000 will disappear in the work of extending tho water system and $30,000 in relieving the darkness of the city by perfecting the light system. In tho matter of perfecting the lighting of tho city it is estimated $hat at least $100,0)0 will be needed, especially In view of the fact that tho city expects to do commercial light ing, and even if it was not new ground a new plant would have to be erected in order to make the supply of power equal to the anticipated growth of Allegheny. This project was brought out last night at the meeting of the Public Works Committee and is largely a result of the parsimoni ous policy and mistakes of the old Councils. Tho economic policy which prevailed when the appropriation ordinance for this j ear was passed is already having its effect in the cramped condition of the city's nuances The appropriations were cut away below the figures offered by the Finance Committee, and as a result each committee has started the cry that their ap propriotions will be exhausted before the w Inter sets in. TVerthelraer Holds the Key. The very men who a few months ago voted, to cut the figures are now trying to raid the contingent fund, but Emanuel Wertheiincr, as Chairman of tho Financo Committee, lias drawn on an "I-told-you-so" air and declares that not a cent of it shall go ou; until after all the appropriations have been exhausted. His language was that the city must live within tho present appropriation if the water had to he sJiut off and every man discharged from the police force. In fact, he says lie has given a pledge that tho city shall not be one cent in debt at the end of the year. The whole matter grew out of the report of tho sub-committe on water, whicli recom mended the purchase of four new boilers for thellowardstreet pumpingstation.Tho mom pywas to be taken from the contingent fund. When Chairman Gerwig read tho report Mr. Wcrtheimer at once caught the sound of contingent fund and moved to lay over. At the same time Mr. Koehler moved to affirma tively reconsider, and Mr.Einstein furnished the second for the latter motion. Mr. Lowe I oppose this because these, new boilers were included in the appropria tion of the Light Committee for this year. and the committee has no right to take it from the contingent tuud. It must come out of the nunronriation. If it is sent to the committee in this shape I will try to kill it in Select branch. Mr. Knox And I'll try to knock it in Com mon. I Mr. Einstein Bnt this improvement must be made. Tho people on the hill are suffer ing for want of water, and we can't afford to take it out of the present appropriation. Why, there are pipes that have been lying in the hill districts for two years that tho city has not been nble to lay, und the appropria tion would not allow it to be done this year. Almost Half the Appropriation Gone. Chief Ehlcis was then called on and stated that of the water appropriation of $160,000 only $01,000 yet remained, and the running expenses of tho bureau for tho remainder of the year would bo at least $73,000. This w ould leave only $12,000 for all the improve ments. At this Mr. Wcrtheimer roso and stated that Councilsliad voted thepresent appropri ations and would have to stick, to them. Said he: "As chairman of the Finance Com mittee, I have pledged myself that this city shall not be one cent in debt at the end of the year, and the contingent fund must not be drawn upon before all the appropriations are exhausted. Wo will discharge every member of the nolico and Are forces rather than go in debt. ' He then ottered an amendment to draw the money from the appropriation, and the ordinance a? amended was affirmatively recommended. 3lr. Wcrtheimer then said: "As the city needs better streets and better water and light systems, I recommend thnt the clerk prepare an ordinance for Councils to submit toavotoof thepeople forthe issue of $750,000 w orth of bonds. Of this nmount are $300,000 to be devoted to street improve ments, $100,000 to bo expended annually; $200, 000 for tho extension of the water svstem and $50,000 to perfect the lightplnnt. These bonds are to be issued as tho money is needed." In spouking on the matter he said the light tower should come down, aud, in fact, that w as the general opinion. Mr. Lowe favored tho bond issue, but thought at least $100,000 should bo devoted to light, superintendent Hunter,, of tho Bureau of Lighting, w-as called on and expressed the same idea, but as that can be adjusted when the matter conies before Councils, 3Ir. Wertheimer's recommendation was passed as a whole. Sub-Committees Made Auditors. At the opening of the meeting a motion was adopted that hereafter all bills be audited by sub-committees, also that a com mittee of five bo appointed to open and com pile all bids, so that the general committee can go ahead without any delay. The bids for tho department supplies were read, witii the following results: Ice, Arctic Ice Company at 17" cents per 100 pounds: eirbons, Washington Carbon Company, $30 per 1,000; gum packing, J. & II. Phillips; mis cellaneous castings, Thomas Carllii & Son: curbstones and crossings, James McAfee. The bids for coal and hardware were sent back to the sub-committee to bo compiled, as were also bids for the erection of tho Bay ard street sewer. ' The matter of paving California avenue was taken up. A special committee- will ex amine the need of the Improvement and tiie matter will be decided at a special meeting on Monday. A resolution for tho raising of the streets in the First ward to the high water lino was referred to the Chief of the Department of Public Works, with instructions to prepare plans and an estimate of tho cost of tho work. The sub-committee on city property re ported having placed an insurance of $25, 000 on the electric light plant. The resolu tion to put up 50 new lights and take tho monej- from the contingent lund was caught by Mr. Werthemer anu pigeon-holed. ITALEESE DOUBTS THE ST0EY. Ho Does "Sot Uclieve Officer Itogan TVas Bribed by Daisy Moore. Daisy Jloore, the colored pi oprletress of a disorderly house raided Tuesday night, said at the hearing yesterday morning thnt she had given Officer Rogau money on condition, that he would let her place alone. Inspector McAleese said lust night: "1 havo not yet seen Officer Kogan, whom this woman accuses of taking money from her, but I will see him to-morrow morning, and, while I urn satisfied lie is not guilty of this charge, 1 will give the matter-thorough investigation. Uognn has been a good officer and no complaint has ever been madengainst him. As for this woman's statement, hor past record does not entitle her to much con sideration, especially when her wrath is di rected against a good, decent man, such as we know- Itogan to be." Indorsed the Sew Judges. At a meeting of the Bandall Club held Jast night a resolution as passed indorsing the appointments of Judges Kennedy, Porter aud McClung, made by Governor Pattison for Common Pleas Court Xo. 3.

Colored People at Alliquippa Grove Tried Hard to Enjoy Themselves Bazora and Revolvers Flourished, but Not Used A IJruised and Battered Crowd. The first picnic riot of the season occurred at 6 o'clock last evening at a colored picnic hold at Alliquippa Grove on the Pittsburg' and Lake Brio road. A number of young colored men who are said to reside in tho Fifth, Sixth and Seventh wards of this city, organized a special club for the occasion, and christcned.it tlieSlito Social Club. They invited 300 or 100 of their friends and went to Alliquippa to hold their picnic. About 6 o'clock last evening a riot broke out in which men and women took part. People were chased around the grove by men with razors and revolvers and women were tear-lng-thc clothes from each other. During the melee several of the Elite sustained serious bruises about the head and face. The trouble, it issaid, was all brought about by a colored girl, whoso first name is said tp bo Annie. According to the state ments made by some of the picnickers, after returning to the city last evening, she had been making herself obnoxious during the whole day and things generally unpleasant for an v person who came in contact with hor. Toward evening she discovered that an Intimate friend of hers was paying con siderable attention to another girl. She went to him and asked that he havo nothing to do with tho other girl and accompany her. Hor request was refused, but she Kept nagging at him until his company took his pait and started to fight with his alleged. This seemed to bo the signal for others to take a hand and there wa3 a prettv lively crowd forsometime. Fists, clubsnndstones were used as weapons nt first, but razors and revolvers put in appearance and tho matter looked quite serious. One of the managers telegraphed to Pitts burg for officers to quell the disturbance. Special Detective C. V. Cook, of tho Pitts burg and Lake Erie Kailroad, in company with about 13 deputy constables, who wore sworn in by Alderman King, took a special train and went to tho grove at onco in re sponse to the telegram. On reaching the grove they found a num ber of tire men still fighting and a woman who was keeping the troublebrewingamong tho female clement. When the officers reached the scene they were recognized, and the crowd dispersed at once, but not until tho officers succeeded iu arresting eight men and ono woman on tho chargo ot riot.

DUQUESXE TEACTION MEN 0EGAMZED The orators put in arr appearance nt yes terday's session of the Amalgamated Association.- Tho few puddleVs who favor an ad vance in the boiling seal e were on deck early and succeeded in holding tho floor more than two-thirds of the day. President Welhc is lenient with tbern, giving all nn op portunity to talk as much as they want to so as to preclude any inference that gag law had been enforced. Tho vote lias not yet been taken 11 tho boiling scale, but tho opposition to an advance is so overwhelming that tho present scalo with a few slight changes in the extras and other details seems sure to bo adopted. Tho second clause In tho list of extras of last year's scalo will likely bo modified some so as to insure more protection to tho pud dlers in case the custom of running strong for common, iron increases, or even con tinues. At present the timo fixed for a heat in a single f nrnaco is an hour and 15 ruinutos, for a double furnace, nn hour and 50 min utes, and a Siemen's furnace an hour and 35 minutes. It is proposed to reduce- the timo from five to ten minutes on single and doublo furnaces, nnd 50 cents a ton extra will he charged for overtime. The extras in last year's scale, on dephosphorized iron, Bessemer pig, castings and runners, hot ore fix and boiled metal will likely be retained. ' Ono of Yesterday's Excitements. Considerable excitement wns created yes terday by the statement that tho Puddlers lodgo of Jones & Laughlins' mill had threat ened to surrender its charter unless it got a better show from the convention. When this lodge undertook to have a mass meet ing of all puddlers' lodges called tor the pur pose ot securing united action in the pres ent convention, President Weiho headed off tho movement, and tho meeting, called for May 9, was never held. This raised the ire ot the members of that loQgc, who claim the officials of the denization are against them. Tho lodgo has its full quota of rep resentatives in the convention and sonio livoly times are looked for before the con vention adjourns. The convention this year is characterized by tho presence of a minister. John W. Jones, a local preacher, represents the lodgo at Harrisburg, whoso members are Impli cated in the strike nt tho Eochlel mill. Two years ago there was a full-blooded Indian named Migaro, from Chicago, in the conven tion, but his presenco did not create nearly so much comment as docs Mr. Jones. Tho latter had tlie floorse"cral times jesterday anddisplayedconsidcrableoratoncalabillty. Ho is 0110 of the strikers, under arrest for conspiracy, und ho related the circumstances of the difficulty from beginning to end for the bcnellt of the convention. The puddlers from Shoenberer & Co.'s mill are mad. They are entitled to three represent atives and only had ono seated. Two of tho fourcontcsted seats were from this mill, aud they claim to havo been discriminated against in the report of tho Credential Com mittee. An Explanation by the President. President Weihe.when spoken to last even ing, said tlie difficulty was that tho delegates whowero not seated were not eligible for representatives. Tho national constitution says: "To be eligible as representative to tho national convention, candidates for the same must be clear on the Secretary's books up to and including the night of election; must bo fully qualified to perform the func tions of the office to the knowledge and sat isfaction of tho lodge they aspire to repre sent, and must be working at some of the trades represented in Section 1, Article I, and shall have served, six months in office, in any sub-lodge, either as President, Vice President, Recording Secretary, Financial Secretary, Treasurer, or Corresponding Rep resentative." It is claimed these delegates h'ad not served their time in their sub lodges, and therefore could not bo admitted to tho convention. To-duy's will bo tho last session of tho con vention until next week. Grcatpreparations havo been made for the reunion to-morrow, at the Beaver Fair grounds. It is expected that from 18,000 to 20,000 people will bo pre sent. Trains will he run from 8 o'clock in tho morning until ntternoon. the last train returning to the city about 9 or 10 o'clock in tho ovenmg. ORGANIZED THE DUaUESNE. Employes of the New'Tractlon Road Join the Knights of Labor. Master Workman Dempsey, of D. A. 3, K. of L., has organized tho employes of the Du quesno Traction road, and hereafter the new line will be classed as a union load. There aro over 100 conductors and motor men in the new assembly, with' as many more ap plications in. Mr. Dempsey says tho assem bly will be a permanent organization, as ho had the assurance of the officials boforo the road was completed that the union would bo recognized. The men work 12 hours a day. Cigurmnkers' Assembly Xo. 1374 met last nignt and passed resolutions binding the members not to patronize tlie Fittli Avenue Traction road until such time as they em ploy union men, and to endeavor to prevent their friends from riding on that road. Mr. Dempsey stated last night that ail the roads in tho city except, tho Pleasant Valley and Fifth Av cnuo Traction are now union lines. The employes of the Duquesnn line will celebrate the organization of their new as sembly this morning. A car will bo deco rated and the Great Western Band will make several trips over the road in it. STEIKEES "WANT BENEFITS. Complaints Itenewed That tho Carpenters Aro Not Being Paid. The Master Builders claimed yesterday to be gaining ground very rapidly and expoet soon to seo the men concede defeat. Secre tary Hamilton w as asked if there were any Indications of a conference, to Which ho re plied: "There is no need of one. The striko is gradually dwindling down to the sharp point of nothing. It's dying out, and the men are returning to work." Chairman Swartz, of the Strike Commit tee, denied that their ranks were more un broken than on May L and says the claims of tho bosses are entirely untounded. Work is still in progress at Alvin Joslyu s the ater. Strikers are beginning to complain again about the benefits. It is claimed thnt the money that was duo last Saturday has not yet been paid to them, and many of them say that if the benefits are not paid to-uior-iow they will go to work on Monday. , Some Reductions Made. A number of the Sharpsburg furnaces in tho upper end of tho Shenango Valley havo blown in, but notwithstanding the shut down, a reduction of 10 to 15 cents n day has occurred.

Amputation and E;o Diseases Considered by the State Medical Society. TSrEClAL TELECHA3I TO TIIE DISrATCII.l Readkto, Jnne 4. Tho third day's session of the State Medical Society was largely at tended. The proceedings w ere opened with "Problems in Surgery,'1 by Dr. O. II. Allls, of Philadelphia, aud his address was inter esting as well as instructive. He gave nu merous illustrations of amputations. Dr. Packard, another prominent surgeon of Philadelphia, spoke on tho same subject aud favored prompt amputation when any is necessary, and allowing as much limb to re main as possible. Dr. M. Price, of Philadel phia, who sufTered an amputation of the right leg in 1HB, said he can carry as heavy a rifle and do as much climbing as any hun ter in West Virginia. He could not under stand why an unsightly stump should be al lowed to remain, and said if any surgeon would leave more than five inches of a stump below the knee on htm he would Srosecuto him. Drs. Flick, of Philadelphia; rumbaugb, of Huntington; Bishop, of Har risburgrPresident Craig and J. Muton DmT, of Pittsburg, followed fii the discussion. Dr. Edward Jackson, of Philadelphia, read a paper on "What to do for Incipient Ca tarrn." The address on "Ephthalmology" was delivered by Dr. J. A. Lipplncott, of Pittsburg. The speaker dwelt principally upon trachoma, which, he said, prevailed to a great extent in orphan asylums, public in stitutions and among emigrants. THE SHIP CANAL EEP0BT. A Statement Tliat the Resolution for Its Printing .Failed Is Erroneous. SPECIAL TELEGBAJI TO THE DlSrATCH.J IlAEaiSDCKQ, June 4. Further examination shows that the statement that the resolution providing for the printing of 3,000 copies of tho report of the Ship Canal Commission failed to pass the Senate is erroneous. The resolu tion passed tlie House May 18 aud was sent to the Senate on Tuesday, May 19. Senator Grady, of Philadelphia, moved its reference to tho Committeo on Printing, but at tho ur gent request of Senator McCrcary, of L'rie, he withdrew tho motion, and after an earn est speech in its favor by McCrcary, thd res olution passed unanimously. The resolu tion has not yet been approved by the Gov ernor and the delay brought Secretary Brewer, of tho Canal Commisslon,down from lirio yesterday morning to straighten the CflSC Ollt At thuState Department it is said that the resolution hasnotyetleo 1 received. The en graved plates of all the nuips aud profiles ac companying the report wore paid for by the Canal Commission and w ore prepared under the supervision of its engineers to insure ac curacy. These plates have been in the hands ofthe State Printer nearly.four months now, and, as they constitute tue most expensive part of the work, tho cost of tho report will bo very moderate. GENEEAL CHOP PE0SPECTS. Wheat May Bo Above the Average In Tills State, and Fruit Promises "Well. rSFECIAI. TELEGttAM TO TUE DISPATCH. Habkisbckq, June L Secretary Edge, of tho Slato Board of Agriculture, from returns made to him last month has prepared a re port showing tho crop prospects. Tho'wheat crop this year will be above the average for the past 20 years. The growth of straw is not heavy, but it will be above the average for tho last ten years. The crop of hay has been shortened by the unusual dry weather of spring nnd early summer. In the south ern part of the State tho rain camo too late to benefit the clover, which will be shorter than usual. Timothy will be fully up to the average for 20 years. The young clover and timothy has in many portions of the State suffered niuch from dry weather. The outs crop will be short over tho whole State. Early planted potatoes will lose much by the failure to sprout regularly. Later plantings will give a bettercrop. Livestock, owing to short pastures, is hardly up to the average condition. The fruit crop will be fully up to tho average. GOBBLED BY THE WHISKT TBTJST. The Schufeldt Distillery Which Gibson Tried to Blow Up Is Sold. Chicago, June I.

THE PEOPLE'S BAMS Greatly Aided by a Bill Just' Signed by Governor Pattison. AS ACT PR3IimSG 'BORROWING. Building and Loan. Associations Set Squarely onTlieirFeet. SO NEED OF GETTING SHORT OF MONET Many Pittshurgers are pleased over tho signing of the building and loan association bill by Governor Pattison. This is a city or such organizations, and anything tending to' henem them is received with general satis faction. As a result there were many smiling faces abont town yesterday morning over the news. The bill authorizes building and loan associations, iu addition to the P9 ers they now possess, when applications for loans by stockholders thereof shall ex ceed the accumulations in the treasury, to make temporary loans of money to meet such demands, not exceeding in the aggre gate at any time $15,000. at a less rate of in terest than 6 per cent and secure the pay ment of the same, said loans to be repaid out of the accumulations in the treasury as soon as sufficient is paid in and there is no demand therefor by borrowing stockholders. Heretofore building associations have been unable lawfully to borrow money and much inconvenienco has been caused. The bill was gotten up to do away with the difficulty. These associations, like other business concerns, often run short of funds, which temporarily prevents them from satisfying tho wishes of their customers. Tho organizations had no right to borrow the money needed, but often the officers made the loans on the'j own responsibility. Voiced " ,"a Veteran. City Clerk George Booth is one of the veteran building and loan association men of this city, having been actively engaged in the work for the past 20 years and being now connected with about a dozen associations. Ho was highly pleased to leant that the bill had been signed. "It Is ono of the best things that ever hap pened for the building and loan associa tions," said he. "The privilege to borrow money in tho name or the association will bo a valuable assistance to the business. It often happens that Just when a stockholder wants to get some money there Is none In the treasury, though there may bo more than is wanted in the course of a week or two. In such cases it has been the custom for the Board of Directors to go to a bank and borrow tho money, becoming individu ally liable for tho amount, nereafterthe associations can secure the loans on their own responsibility and a great Inconven ience will be shifted from the shoulders of the officers. Every man connected with such an organization will be glad to learn of the passageof the bill." Mayor Gourley has had considerable ex perience in this line of business and knows tho difficulty under which the associations have labored. In speaking of It yesterday he said: "The new law will havo a very salutary effect on building und loan operations. As sociations cannot afford to disappoint their stockholders when they want money, bnt there has heretofore been no legal, way out of tne difficulty except by some or the officers advanclug the luuds from their owu pockets or borrowing on their personal risk." A Way Out or Frequent Difficulty. Eobert Ostermaier, Secretary of the Pitts burg Mutual, said: "Nothing could suit the building nnd loan association people better than this bill, as it gives them an easy way out of a difficulty that has often presented itself. In tho best associations there is sometimes a scarcity or ready money ior a short neriod." Hugh Flinn.of the same company, said: "It Is u. eood thine, and lu a city like Pittsburg. where there aro several hundred associa tions, it will be appreciated by a large num- Der 01 people. W. K. Grav.Secretary ofthe Arcanum, said that he was more than pleased to learn the bill had Decome a law. it legalizes an act thnt such associations have been forced to resort to withbut such authority that of borrowing money or omcers or uirociors in order to meotthe demands ofTnemberi A number of bankers were spoken to about tlin ronult of tho MIL but thev did not care to talk, baying it was out of their line of business.
