TAXES THAT ARE DUE.
Secretary Graham's Exhibition in the
Juggling of Finance.
HE ACCOUNTS FOR UNPAID BILLS.
Only a Difference of $16,000 in Ills and the
Citr's Figures.
INTERESTING MUNICIPAL MATTERS
More financial juggling was indulged in
over in Allegheny yesterday. Secretary
Graham has prepared a statement of the
indebtedness of the 1'leasant Valley road to
the city in which he fixes the amount at
at S-1,783 Si and he tendered a check for
that amount. He explains away much ot
the indebtedness by damaces that the tracks
have sustained from the city. The Audi
tors .have submitted another statement
showing the debt to be 520,770 30.
Though there was not a quorum of
the Finance Committee yesterday the whole
matter was turned over to a sub-committee.
Graham's statement is addressed to Con
troller Brown and is signed by President
Henry, of the Pleasant Valley Ompany.
It is as follows: .
Referring to your notics that n committee
of Allegheny councils would Rive an oppor
tunity to make explanation before it, re
garding our alleged indebtedness to Alle
gheny City, we beg leave to submit the fol
low ins statement, which so far as the ac
count is concerned for the year ending July
1, 1S30, is substantially the same as the one
rendered j ou on May 21, 1S9L
We have thought it best to include the
account for the year ending July 1, 1831,
although it has not been heretofore cus
tomary to pay this account until about the
1st of January, whicn is our explanation for
not having Included it in our statement
heretofore rendered to the public.
OJ.-LY COKrOKATIOXS IS SAME.
As will be seen upon investigation in the
office of the Secretary of the Common
wealth, the Teople's Passenger l'ailwny
Company and the Park Passenger Railway
Company wee mcrsed or consolidated into
the Teople's Tar Tassenger Railway Com
pany under tho provisions of tne act of 1S79
and its supplements before the construction
of the road. The Teople's Park Passenger
Railway Company, tno Observatory Hill
Passenger Railway Company and the Fed
eral Street and Tieasant Valley Passenger
Railwav Company were merged and consoli
dated into the Federal Street and Tieasant
Vnlley Tassenpcr Kailnnr Company in 1S9.
There never w a dividend declared liv
the Teople's Tark Company prior to its
merger with the Federal Street and Pleaant
Valley Companv, nnd neither the Peoples
nor the Park, prior to their merger into ttie
Teople's Tark, ever operated a car or de
clared a dividend.
Ihetaxe- due by the Federal Street and
Pleasant Valley Companv and by tho Peo
ple s Park Company -were paid up to Jnlv 1,
1S-9. The taxes or the Obscrvatorv Hill
Company, we understand, from its'piior
on ners were paid up to that date. With this
exception, the Teople's Talk Companv did
not pay tho amount stipulated in its "ordi
nance for keeping the treets m repair, for
the reason that tho city only paitially re
paired the streets, and the company bad to
expend a portion of this money in"kceping
the streets in pnscnblc condition. The lul
ance of it ha been in part paid the cm in
rnoh, and the other part i included in the
bill rendcied by thr citj of June 1.1891. of
fSll 34. And in reft-rence to the amounts
stipulated to be paid the city for keeping
the streets in reuair in the Oli"prvntorv Hill
ordinance and its Crosstown extension, and
also the People's Tail: ord'oancc. the city
hafc rendeiei! bilN to till cinpanv
for all the work done on tho sticets,
which have all been paid except the
lat one rendered .Inn-; 1, ISM.
It has been cnstomaiy for the city to ren
der bills for the workactunllr donewhether
it amounted to more or less than tho
amounts stipulated m the ordinances. TheMj
bills have been paid by the companv, which
fact is its defense for not paving the
amounts stipulated in the ordinances.
tax on cars, dividends and for keeping the
streets cleaned and in repair.
Secretary Graham said all the bills for
the latter had been paid and they could
show receipts for them. This with Mr.
Graham's statements was then referred to
the sub-committee, Messrs. Dahlingcr, Ger
wig and Lewis, with Chairman "Wertheimer,
the auditors, Controller Brown and City
Solicitor Elphinstone, and the meeting ad
journed. COULD HOT GET A 0.T0EUM.
Allegheny School Controller Fall to Hold
Their Kegnlar Sleeting.
The regular meeting of the Allegheny
Board of School Controllers was to have
been held last night, but a quorum was not
obtained. The report of City Superin
tendent Morrow for the month of Septem
ber shows an enrollment of 13,371 pupils,
with an average attendance of 12,027.
Among the items of business that were to
have been before the board was the presen
tation to John II. Trimble of an engrossed
copy of a minute on his retirement from the
board. Mr. Trimble was a member
for fifteen yeaYs, but declined a re-election
from the Xinth "Ward. He was chairman
of the High School Committee during the
erection ot the High School Building. The
minute prepared by the committee, Messrs.
B. F. Wooilburn, Thomas It. Herd and
Joseph "Walton, paid him a high compli
ment for his efficient and faithlul work.
The minute was a beautiful sample of pen
manship and was in a magnificent frame of
oxidized silver three by three-and-a-half
feet in size.
An application from "Wilhelmina Seig
miller, supervisory instructor of drawing of
the public schools) for an increase in salary,
and a recommendation from the Sub-Committee

be increased six feet, will be acted on at the
next meeting of the Board.
QUEEN LTLTUOKOLAHI DYIHfJ.
Her Demiso May Precipitate an Exciting
Contest for the Throne.
Sax Fraxcisco, Oct. C Tlje steamer
Bclgic brings the news from the Hawaiian
Kingdom that Queen Liliuokolani is at the
point of death. Her physician has pro
nounced her trouble organic disease of the
heart, and her death may happen at any mo
ment. The Queen has been advised of the
worst.
The death of the Queen will bring about
the most serious of political complications,
and already wire pullers are at work to
secure control ot the islands in the interest
of England. Honolulu newspapers dare not
print one word of what is transpiring, but
the people are in a fever of excitement.
Americans in Honolulu will make a des
perate attempt to prevent the islands from
falling into British control The father of
the heir to the throne, who is an English
man, will work to his utmost in the interests
of the British. Americans will take ad
vantage of any lapse of time to prevent
Princess Kalulani from taking the throne.
The natives are in sympathv with Ameri

Street Improvements in Order Whenever
the Weather reiinits.
The approach of winter brings with it the
reminder that frost and snow will in time
put a stop to many badly needed street im
provements. City Clerk Booth stated yes
terday that there nas no ordinance or law of
any kind governing the time at which such
improvements must close. Some other
cities have laws of this kind, but Pittsburg
has not. The matter is left entirely to the
discretion of Chief Bigelow of the Depart
ment of Public Works, and he governs the
work according to the condition of the
weather. During mild winters, such as the
last one, the work is not seriously inter
fered with by the cold.
The putting down of gas and other pipes
is subject to stricter regulations. An or
dinance especially bearing on this subject
prohibits such work being done after No
vember I j ana prior to the same day ot the
succeeding April. Only a little "over a
month remains for such operations.
I.Iqnor Case Tip To-Day.

Fnits. He emphatically denies the report
that he is acting in this matter for political
ends. Attorney J. D. Watson said yester

a tight against the law.

There was no dividend paid in January,
1890, and we include the July, 1S90, dividend
in the year ending July 1, l-TO.
It is easy to ascertain the proportion of
dividend earned by each ot the divisions
upon which to compute the tuxes, lor the
reason that we have the gross earnings of
each division each day, and, secondly, tho
gross earnings of each" division for the j ear,
and deducting the expenses, wo get tho net
earnings. The total dividend paid during
3 ear ending July 1, 1891, was $39 000. There
was but one dividend paid dining the year
ending July 1, 1S90.
Wo have gone over these matters very
carefully, and are quite sure that this is af 1
that is owing to the city of Allegheny, and
are ready to bo qualilicd to the best of our
knowledge ami belief.

We licrew ith send our check with this
statement for the amount, $4,T3.4, and will
be glad to have the city accept it as payment
in full of our indebteaness up to July 1, ,S31.
If the city shall decline to receive it it must
bo because of legal questions which could
not be overcome by n conference in person
between the Finance Committee and the
representatives ofourcompanj-.
The check for 4,78." 54, mentioned in the
statement, accompanied it and was turned
over to Controller Brown. There was but
little discussion on the matter, when it was
decided to leave the entire matter to a sub
committee. Controller Brown read a letter
iromthe Manchester company asking the
privilege of a hearing also, "and it was de
cided to have both companies appear before
the tub-committee when they are ready to
hear them.
Mr. McKirdy, one of the Auditors, also
presented a little memoranda in which the
indebtedness of the Pleasant Valley Com
pany was shown. It differed from that of
Dr. Gilliford, read in Council, some 25,000,
and Mr. McKirdy took the occasion to say
that the Auditors were in no manner re
sponsible for Dr. Gilliford's figures.
Mr. McKirdy's memorandum showed the
indebtedness as follows: Federal street and
Pleasant Valley line proper, $8,375 50;
I ark Passenger Company, $5,C15; People's

It would require a page to do
anything like justice to our superb bsi
sortment of Fine Fall Suits.
This will be more readily under
stood when we tell you that it em-
braces everything in material that
either the foreign or home .market has
produced this fall.
We find a large demand for
Homespuns and Cheviots, including
the fashionable Wood-Brown Cheviot;
of which we have a fulj line both in
single and double-breasted sacks.
We invite the attention of gen
tlemen who have been accustomed to
leave their order wath a merchant
tailor and pay a fancy price for their
clothing. The suits we show you are
custom cut and tailor-made, and we
can duplicate, at little more than half
the price, the suits, you pay from $35
to $40 for.
FALL OVERCOATS.
Whatever may be your idea as
to what is desirable in color or fabric
for a Fall Overcoat finds expression
in our stock of them.
And if you haven't much of an idea, here's a dandy place
to get on the right track.
Thousands of the most stylish garments are here of new
and desirable materials, put together iru a manner which would
do credit to the most tony tailor.
