THE PITTSBUKG- DISPATCH,.-- SATTJKDAY,- JUNE 27 1891
WAES ABOUT WATER.
Balooa Keepers Declare They Are Dis
criminated Amiinst.
CHAKGEDMORETHM OTHER FOLKS
Xot Bo Jlnch Money in the Business as Is
Popularly Supposed.
HOW THE! ASE TAXED UPON ALL SIDES
"With two rivers direct from the mount
ains, and with water furnished at wholesale
rates from 5 to 20 cents for 1,000 gallons,
and with pumping capacity sufficient to
supply London, one i ould think that peo
ple in Pittsburg would not only be cleanly
Jn their habits, as of course they are, but
Tcry happy in the enjoyment of cheap
drinking and washing water, but the fact
is that as a general thing they are not, and
there is a tolerably general cry that water
is a very expensive article in domestic econ
omy. The chorus Is stronger at this time
of year than at any other. The main trouble
Beems to be that most people consume on a
retail basis of rates. If any one uses a
million gallons a year he gets it
for 6 cents a thousand gallons, and
if more than 20,000,000 gallons at 5 cents
per thousand, measured by meter, but if es
timated 20 per cent is added to meter rates.
But few people want to use it in quantities
sufficient to bring the price down to one
two-hundreths of a cent per gallon, and
the retail arrangement is regarded by many
people as burdensome. .
Saloon Keepers Complain of Injustice.
The saloon keepers are among the stringent
nbjectors to the arrangement, as some of
them pay for house and bar fixtures, say
two bathrooms and tw o closets, as high as
?300 a year, according to the size of the
iiouse, even when there are no elevators or
engines used. Some who pay this amount,
and find that a warehouse only pays about
the same or less, object very deeide'dly and
say there must be a screw loose some
where. They say that when the
Brooks lieense'law went into effect rates
were raised sharply on them, but those for
tunate enough to get license said nothing
and kept on wood-saning. as their profits
were sufficient to make them indifferent to
the tax, but now their number has been so
increased that the business done by one
when there were but 97 saloons in the city is
divided between three and sometimes five,
and even $100 begins to be an item of inter
est to some of them. They complain that
in addition to a very high water tax, their
business tax is 10 time? the amount on sales
volume as that of people in other business.
Their license is $500 and next vear will be
51,000, eo that a man doing 525,000
worth of business a vear which,
they say, is considerable for an
average saloon will pay 51.000 license,
?2,000 rent or its equivalent, $250 business
tax. and say, or. an average, 5200 water tax;
in all, about t3,CO0 a year.
Littlo Decrease In Numbers Expected.
Thev do not annear to anlieirmtp that. Ti
raising of the license fee to 51,000 will
materially decrease the number of appli
cant.1!, at least downtown, and some of them
begin to fear that the onlv monev in the
business left for many will he in the speak
easy line. One Grant street saloon keeper,
who has been regarded as doing a big busi
ness, says he is not making money enough
to pay for the worry of conducting his
establishment A number of others say,
they would sell out for a fair price in a min
ute. An idea of the cost of water may be
gathered from a few instances taken at ran
dom. Meyers Sr Tate pay 5300 for
water to operate their elevator, in
aaaiuou to tne otner cnarges regu
lated by the number of washstands,
closets, etc., which is not very much in a
warehouse. Otis. Shepard & Co. pay 5375
in their store. They have a hydraulic ele
vator, while P. Duff, a saloon keeper on
Grant street, pays $293, and has "nary" an
elevator, and his house docs not look verv
large. The water tax on the Seventh Ave
nue Hotel is about 51,100, but in addition
to the elevator and bar it has many rooms,
sinks, etc
It would appear that some saloon keepers
not only object to what they term discrim
ination, but they also resent the inference
that might possibly be drawn that they use
more oxygen ind hydrogen in the makeup
of their liquors than recognized by the
standard, and some of them say they use
very little water.
A visit to the "Water Assessor's office
indicates that there is no remedy
above the horrizon at present.
Chief Clerk Da id Dines admits that the
adjustment of the burden is very unequal,
hut he denies that saloon keepers have any
cause tor complaint, holding that thev use
more water than they pay for. He says it
is quite commonly the case that a spigot is
allowed to run all the time the bar is open,
and the beer pumps, he says, are supposed
to run only part of the time, when in fact
they arc operated almost constantly. Turn
ing to a case at random on the book, it was
found that the account of a saloon was
itemized as follows: Bar, 525; beer pump,
520; 3 w ashstands, 55; 0 rooms, 512; 2 bath
tubs, 57: sink, 56 50; rest of house and
kitchen, 525; total, 5113 50.
Very Hard en Some Feople.
Mr. Dines states that the assessment fol
lows le?al lines, and works hard
ship on some people, but he
is not inclined to consider
Baloon keepers the victims, though it is cer
tain that some of them are not making
much money at present. The hardship Mr.
Dines points out is the charge made for
wa.hstands in offices which are often rarely
and sometimes never used by the payer.
Iu a lawyer's office, for instance, may be
found latt year's dust in the washstand, but
the fixture is there and is charged for say nt
the rate of Ji. This man pays, at wholesale
rates, for fe0,000 gallons of water and doesn't
tie any, while the spigot in a kitchen sink
may run ten hours or more a day and the
owner only pays 52 half as much as in the
former case where no water is used at alL
RAPID TRANSIT DRAWBACKS.
East rnd Merchants Think There Is Such
a TUng as a Nuisance About Cable
Cars Suits Brought Against Two Local
Txactlon Companies.
Suits inequity were entered yesterday
against the Pittsburg and the Citizens' Trac
tion lines. In the former the plaintiffs are
"William McFarland, T. B. Moreland Jr.,
John Denholm, "W. J. McMaster, H. P.
Xuhn, C. C. Castncr, A. II. "Wilson, It. M.
Stcrrett and W. P. Moreland. They state
they arc owners and occupiers of houses
and buildings on Penn avenue in the Nine
teenth and Tn cntieth wards, the principal
business street of the East End; that ingress
and regress to their property is over and
across 1'enu avenue The defendant com
pany occupies the street with a single track
on Shady lane, to its station or loop near
Highland a cune, and that the street is also
occupied by a double track of the Citizens'
Traction Oompanj , making three parallel
lines on Penn avenue, and leaving but a
narrow space on either side.
The plaintiffs allege that the defendants,
contrary to duty, blockade the street with
continuous lines of cars, and leave them
standing while other cars are held until
such time as they are dispatched from the
station; that the cable is allowed to run
through the grip, thereby making a loud,
harsh, deafening noise that is an annoyance,
causing irreparable loss and damage to the
plaintiffs. They allege they are daily
losing their customers and business by this
blockading and the noise, which is declared
to be a nuisance. They ask that a decree
be made prohibiting the blockading of the
treet and obstructing the avenues, and that
a preliminary injunction be granted to be
made permanent against them.
In the suit against the Citizens' Com
pany the plaintifla are, C. A. "Warmcastle,
S. A Dickie, Samuel Kelly, "W. W.
Sneathen, H. G. Squires. A Goeddel, "W.
J. Spahr, F. W. Hall, John Shuster, Sam
uel Denholm, Thomas Matthews and W. M.
Dennison. They are business men of
Frankstown and Penn avenue, and claim
to be annoyed and damaged in the same
manner and by the same means as those in
the first suit, and also ask for an injunc
tion against a continuance of the alleged
nuisance.
IMPORTANT MEASURES
Considered by the Finance Committee
Chief Bigelow Can Purchase Highland
rark Froperrj First Eeport on In
vested Sinking Fond.
At a meeting of the Finance Committee
yesterday afternoon ordinances authorizing
Chief Bigelow to purchase land for the ex
tension of Highland Park was affirmatively
recommended to Councils. The property is
the same that Mr. Bigelow purchased last
year, but through some legal technicality
the purchases could not he settled at that
time. An act oi the last -Legislature reme
died the trouble, and as the money was ap
propriated in the or dinance for that pur
pose in February the purchases can now be
closed. The property to he bought is a tract
of 17 lots from J. B. Keeley, 434x134 feet,
cost 55,000; 17.28 acres from "W. A Hoevel
ler, at 527,086; &224 acres from Stella Ken
nedy, at 510,600; 1 acre 16 perches from
Anna G. Duff, at 5556 60.
Controller Morrow stated that a resolu
tion was to have been presented authorizing
the payment of sums equal to the former
salaries of the Assistant City Attorneys
under the old department of law. By the
Supreme Court decision the department of
law was abolished, but Messrs, Burleigh
and Cameron, the Assistant City Attorneys,
had been working faithfully and hard ever
since on city work, and they should be paid
for their services. They were willing to
accept the amount of their former salaries
for this work and a motion was adopted
that a resolution providing for their pay
ment be affirmatively recommended to
Councils. The ordinance authorizing the
appointment of two Assistant City Attor
neys was not presented as expected.
Bonds of Indemnity to Bo Issued.
An ordinance authorizing the Mayor to
execute bonds of indemnity to persons
whose property may be damaged or taken
by the city in cases of condemnation for
public purposes, was ordered returned to
Councils with an affirmative recommenda
tion. Mrs. Julia Devine wanted 51,700 for the
destruction ot property by fire owing to
lack of w ater. It was refused.
The Fidelity Title and Trust Company
reported the amount of bonds received from
Controller Morrow since the adoption of
the ordinance providing for the investment
of the sinking funds, this being the first of

nance from the trustees, the Fidelity Com

ONE BIRD ATTACKS AK OFFICER.
He and His Fighting Mate Scrap in the
Police Station, and
ABE ONLY KNOCKED OUT BY ICE WATER
rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. J
Boston, June 26. A lively cock fight
was in progress under the shadow of
Faneuil Hall at 8 o'clock this morning
when a posse of pblice broke in the doors
and jumped through the skylight. About
35 sports were found cooped up like rats in
a cage. Some of them jumped from the
second-story windows, Dut were gobbled as
fast as they londed. There were others
luckier. The room, which is a large one,
running the entire length of the building,
has a back stairway, as well as several
windows, and by these exits fully a
dozen men escaped. One man jumped
out of a window, and, catching hold of the
telegraph wires, slid down a pole and then
jumped into the backyard of Frost's. saloon.
Another man did a similar act and escaped
by means of Quennell's restaurant.
Some of the men in the room also climbed
to the roof, but they were unable to escape
and were among those arrested, numbering
27 in all. It was an exciting scene for a few
minutes. The only resistance was made by
one of the game cocks. He flew savagely
at the policeman who sought to separate
them and nipped a piece of his hand. The
funniest par of the whole business was the
resumption of the battle at the police sta
tion. The cocks were a cross between a
leghorn and pheaant. They were in full
fighting array, necks plucked, combs and
tail feathers clipped and steel spurs, nearly
two inches long and sharp as needles,
fastened to their legs.
They were carried to the police station in
that condition and looked so badly used up
that no one thought they had any fight left.
The birds were placed" in the same box in
the center of the guard room, and while
Captain BTemin way was calling the roll of
the prisoners, the birds started in for the
second round. .Good old Deacon Heminway
was greatly shocked, hut he didn't know
how to separate the belligerent birds and
nobody in the crowd felt disposed to help
him out. At last the worthy Captain be
thought himself of ice water and he gave
them several shower baths before they sur
rendered. Twenty more game cocks in as
many boxes witnessed this impromptu set-to
with undisguised envy, and there was a
chorus of shrill cock crbws when the battle
was ended.
The 27 prisoners were immediately ar
raigned in court, and pleading nolo con
tendere, were each fined $3. The main
which was thus interrupted has been on the
docket for some time, but until last night it
was impossible to get the birds to the ren
dezvous unobserved by the police. The
spectators were chiefly marketmen and local
politicians.
WILL GO IN A BODY.
Rev. O. B. aillllgan's Congregation Decides
to Join the United Presbyterians The
Church Leased From the Corporation
by the Members Mr. Milligan Absent.
The congregation of Be v. O. B. Milligan's
church, on Highland avenue, at a meeting
last night decided to formally withdraw
from the Beformed Presbyterian Church
and unite with the United Presbyterians.
There was not absolute unanimity among
those present about withdrawing, since
there were five or six dissenters in the 65 or
70 members present, but the latter were so
friendly with the majority at the close of
the meeting as to warrant the statement
that the congregation had agreed to the
step. As a member remarked, they hoped
to win the minority over to their views in
time. There are about 110 members in the
congregation.
It was arranged that the congregation
should continue to use the church until the
members had passed into the United Pres
byterian church. "With this end a lease of
the church was obtained from the corpora
tion. "When the change has been effected
the congregation proposes that it shall like
wise include the church, and that that
temple of worship shall, in the future, be
used by them as members of the United
Presbyterian belief. It is around this there
is a probability of some animated discus
sion a portion of which may take place in
the courts following as a consequence.
The congregation takes the view that
what is theirs is their own, and not the
Iiroperty of the corporate body, while the
attcr holds that the congregation has in
terest in the church property only as long
as it continues in the denomination of the
church.
The result of the matter so far is thatBev.
Mr. Milligan will continue to preach to his
congregation in his church until arrange
ments with the U. P. body have been made.
Should an attempt be then made to use
the church for U. P. services, it is said
that the Beformed Presbyterian corporation
will interfere by process of law. But the
unanimity among the congregation is so
thorough, or is deemed as likely to become
so, that no fears are entertained by its mem
bers of the corporation being able to prevent
them changing their charter.
Bev. Mr, Milligan was out of town during
the meeting, and nis views could not be ob
tained. A LITTLE BABY'S SKIN

THE BEST FOR THE MONEY.
The rule of business in force with us always is the
best for the money. We believe everybody ought to pay
as little as possible for clothing. There's no dispute
about that Everybody is agreed about it But what
for clothing?
Clothing for looks only or clothing for service? The
trouble is, clothing made for looks only is many a time
equal to well-made counterfeits of bank-notes in be
wildering people and palming on them poor value.
We don't think that kind worth storeroom, or worth
trying to sell,, or worth making.
We're not doingbusiness among you by such methods.
We are anxious you should understand us. We don't
want to miss'a single clothing buyer. We want you
to clearly know the sort of clothing we make and keep
on sale.
Prices are generally lowered. AH the clothing we
have must go! We put the go on the prices.
Men's Suits, $15, down to $10.
Boys' Suits, $8 50, down to $5.
Child's Suits, $5, down to $3 50.
Lots of clothing at right prices.
