BEPORTS FEOM TWO BIG DEPARTMENTS
Mayor Gourley is now ready to begin bis
annual message to Councils. He yesterday
received the reports of Chiefs Bigelow and
JSrcvrn, -with estimates of the money needed
to operate the Departments of Public Works
and Public Safety during the coming year.
Chief Bigelow wants f 2,231.306 27, Chief
Brown 5800,000, and Chief Elliott ?90,000,
making a total of $3,121,306 27 for the three
departments. This, with the necessary ap
propriations for interest on city debt, public
printing and other matters, will bring the
entire amounts asked well on toward $5,
000,000. The amount granted last year waa
$4,464,989 61.
IMselow IVants More Money.
Chief Bigelow -is the only ons asking
much of an increase. He figures that bis
department needs over 5500,000 more than
during the year just closing. An increase
is asked for each bureau, and there are sev-,
eral new items. The Chief explains that
under the new law the cost of keeping up
boards of viewers is greatly increased, and
instead of $11,000, as granted this year,
6,000 will be necessary during the coming
year. The new Soutuside Market House,
which the Chief considers a necessity, will
cost $35,000. Street Tepaving, bridges and
parks are the big items to be looked aiter.
"I bae given the question a good deal of
study lately." said Chief Bigelow, Vand
have" endeavored in every way to keep the
amounts low. But this department needs
plenty of money. The city cannot be im
proved for nothing. Every cent I have
asked for is to be used to good effect, and I
believe the money will all be granted."
The Problem or Taxation.
'Will not this increase -result in a higher
tar rate?" was asked.
"No, sir; not a mill," replied the Chief.
Chief Brown will probablv get all he
aks, as he desires an increase of onlv
$06,034. This will be used chieflr in the
purchase of a water tower, new engines and
other apparatus for the Fire Bureau, as
orderet! by Councils. The Chief would like
to have a fire boat also, but considers that
it can be dispensed with another year and
does not include it in his estimates. The
new Central police station project has also
been dropped, the Chief simplv asking for
enough to rent and equip a building.
PUBLIC SAFETY PRICES.
ChlerBroTinDoes "otA6kfor Much. More
Than last Tear Some of. the Bureaus
Bednced and Others Raised The He
port In Detail.
Chief Brown's report is opened with an
explanation of its features. In it he saj-s:
I heren lth submit the estimate for the De
partment of Public Safety for tlio year 1891,
together with a detailed exhibit of the ex-pendltnres-o
the department for the last 12
months.
The appronriation for the general office of
the department is the same as last year.
Thegeneralappropriation lor the Bureau
of Fire is also the same as last year; hut an
additional increase is asked for by rea
son of a recent ordinance of Coun
cils, providing for increasing the strength,
and efficiency of the bureau, to
wit: fSO.411 01 This does not include tlio
building or a fireboat, which 1 believe would
be possible to postpone for another year, so
as not to so largely increase the appropria
tion for the Bureau of Tire. A detailed
statement of the increase under the afore
said ordinance is appended tn the general
estimate for the bureau. The absolute
neccsitv of materially increasing tUe effici
ency of the Fire Bureau in the downtown
district ii so apparent and well knon n that
I deem it not necessary to refer to the
matter at length.
The general apnropriation for the Bureau
of Police remains the -jme as list year, and
the onlv additional increase required in it is
made bv virtue of the operation of an
ordinance licensing dogs and establishing
a pound, and paying the salaries of the
necesearvmen connected therewith. This
estimated inereae, as per schedule at
tached, is $3,373 The proceeds of the opera
tion of this ordinance for the last year were
about $12,000, and the ordinance whs only in
operation some four months. When this
ordinance Is in operation during the entire
Marl am satisfied that the receipts for the
city will be in excess of $15,000.
No More Police Needed.
Xo additional Increase in the number of
men for the general police force is asked
for, or will be anticipated during the com
ing year as 1 believe that the changes,
rules and regulations that the bureau is now
contemplating for the better improvement
of the same, will be sufficient to make tlio
present police force more efficient and
will enable this department with the
number of men already in tho bureau,
to i ell and efficiently police, and protect the
city. The sum of $15,391 54 is asked for and
recommended to secuie a suitable place for
v Central police station, rent, equipping the
same with cells, sewerage, closets, police
court, sleeping apartments for the relief
frquad, cells and room of retention for
women, qnai ters for police mati on and for
the accommodation of women and chil
dren. t
The estimate for the Bureau of Electricity
is $1,100 less than last year.
The estimate for the Bureau of Health is
$724 53 less than the sum appropriated last
year. The other bureaus remain the same.
Respectfully submitted,
J. O. Bltowy,
Chief of Department of Public Safety.

THE PrrrSBURGh
TAXING OIL LEASES.
Attorney Co-fteUtas Tafceg
Looting to a Legal Test,.
Step
EESPONSIBLE FOE BAD ROADS.
1 Claim That tha Operators -Should Help
Bear the Burdens.
IKBTBUCTIONS TO THE ASSESSORS
Attorney Cornelius was engaged yester
day in the formulation of a document that'
'. . i i i - i,i;i
may De oi import to a targe jkujci j '
ing interest. He was inditing an epistle to
the authorities of the borough of Coraopolis,
which is now in & productive oil field, in
which he states that if they do not see that
their assessor includes in the assewnient a
valuation of oil bearing rock.he, (Cornelius),
as a taxpayer, will ask the Court for a
mandamus to compel such listing.
Mr. Cornelius states that he knows of one
lease that was sold for 5720,000, and he can
not understand why it should escape taxa
tion any more than a similar superficial
area of coal, which is uniformly taxed,
though of "much less value. Mr..Comelius
calls attention to the fact that the oil men
do more damage to the roads than all the
rest of wazon traffic combined and yet'
escape with a few dollars tax on theirboil-j
ers, derricks, etc
Instructions to the Assessors.
This is a question that was raised bytSu
perintendent Bald, of tie Imperial Coal
Company, some months ago, reference to J
which was had in The Dispatch at tijp
time. The County Commissioners had the
mitl under advisement, and Mr. Mercer
talked as though it might receive attention,
but doubtless in tne unusual nurry tuai too
triennial valuation has occasioned this year
the matter was overlooked, though assessors
have been instructed to take into consider
ation everything conneotedv with, property
that is calculated to increase its market
value.
Rome assessors have been kicking because
they are this year required to assess oil rigs'
kU JU1U uirucia tuawu w .. ..... vf..-.v-
who own the leases, but the tax collectors
will not likely repine, as the order greatly
simplifies their duties. The land owner
ninct nnv the tax and then he can have a
fall with the oil operator or not just as he J
.thinks best.
The Operators Sore to Kick.
As to the question of taxing oil leases
the operators will doubtless make a big
kick, in fact some have done so already,
holding that they are entitled to the same
consideration shown manufacturers whose
capital stock is exempt on the ground of their
public utility in developing the country
and furnishing employment" to a large
number of people. While those who urge
the taxing of oil leases admit the force of
the equity involved, yet those whose roads
are cut to pieces and do not happen to have
iT nil rock to lease persist in pomtinz to
Jhe highways and ask if it be equitable that
tney oe xaxeo. ons oi meir uuuta w ucucub
other peopbj who pay no more taxes than
the complainants. I
It has been suggested that farmers who
have gotten large sums in the way of bonus
and oil royalty ought to pay for the extra
cost of keeping roads in repair, but there is
io way at present by which they can be
reacheci.
