REASONS CIVCS FOR THE RAISE
Kxhanmtivo Keport of the Finos.ee Com
mlllce Embodying the Annual Appro
priation and the Ca use of tho Ta x
Increase-Bids for No. 10.
Twelve mills was last night fixed by
the board of control as the tax levy for
the ensuing year, an increase of two
mills over last year.
The large number of new improve
ments projected during the past twelve
months, the Increase in the bonded in
debtedness consequent of the building
of the high school and the fact that
there was a deficit Inst year and will
be an increase this year-in teachers'
salaries, coupled with the fact that the
city's taxable valuation has remained
almost stationary, are the reasons ad
vanced for the necessity of making this
extremely lurge increase in the tax
late.
These reasons are fully set forth In
the report of the ilnance committee,
which Is appended:
'ciat:ton. Pa.. April 27,
"To the President mid Members of the
Scranton Hoard of Control:
"t'entlenien The finance committee
bejr leave to submit the following re
port :
"We hnve carefully examined the ac
counts of the district for the past two
years ami find that there Is a gradual
grow th in our expenditures from year
to yeur. owing to the Increased attend
ance which necessitates the employ
ment of more teachers and a gradual
inerense in salaries owing to length of
servh-e. We have also ascertained that
the valuation upon which to make the
tax levy for the coming year will be but
very little In excess of tho valuation of
Inst year. After going over tho va
rious Items and cutting the appropria
tions to the very lowest possible figure,
we liml that the requirements for tho
ensuing school years wi'l b? in follows:

properly chnrgenlde to the general
school account, we recommend the fol

"Deducting from this sum an esti
mated state appropriation of $83,000,
there remains to be raised by taxation
for general school purposes the sum of
$126,100. The assessed valuation of
property and occupations will be ap
proximately $20,000,000. We recom
mend that a 6V6 mill levy be made for
general school purposes, which, after
deducting 3 per cent, for commissions
and exonerations, will produce $U'C.100,
which is the exact amount required to
meet the above named expenditures.
"The amount of school bonds out
standing is $2S0,000. The law requires
that an annual levy for Interest and
sinking fund purposes shall be made
upon the assessed valuation of the
property In the district which shall pro
duce a sum equal to at least S per cen
tum of the bonded Indebtedness. This
requires an annual revenue for this
purpose, that is. for the payment of in
terest and the accumulation of a fund
for the redemption of the bonds at ma
turity of $22,400. We therefore recom
mend that a levy of IVi mills be made
upon the assessed valuation of the
property In the district, via.: $18,7.r0,000,
which, after allowing 3 per cent, for
commissions and exonerations, will
produce for the Interest and sinking
fund account the sum of $22,734.38.
FOIl Ul'ILDINi! PUKPOSKS.
"In making the levy for building pur
poses, tho committee have borne In
mind the numerous needed Improve
ments, such as the purchase of lots In
the Second and Kighth wards, and the
erection ,of buildlngu nnd additions
thereto In the First, Second. Eighth and
Thirteenth wards; but owing to the
buildings already contracted for and
authorized during the past year, viz.:
Nog. 10. 16 and 23, Involving the ex
penditure of a sum of money exceeding
the balance of the building appropria
tion for the past year and the total
amount of the levy about to be made,
we recommend that the improvements
above named in the First, Second,
Kighth nnd Thirteenth wards be post
poned until another year, and that they
be the first considered
In making the
levy for 1S9'
"The building committee have placed
before us the following estimates:
For the erection of No. Ifi fctS.flOO
For the erection of No. 10 3il.u"0
For balance due on No. 10 lots 2.5MO
For the erection of No. 23 18.000
Total !U,fO0
"After completing Nos. 13 and 19 It is
estimated thnt there will be a balance
in the building accvjnL of $10,000. We
must therefore raise by taxation $S4.Soo
for building purposes for the ensuing
year. For this purpose, we recommend
a levy of 4V: mills, which will produce,
-a44ep making tho usual ullnwnn
It ix?r cent, for eommlssionH and exon
erations, $JS2,450.
"Making a total levy for the sehool
year commencing July 1, 1S96, of 18 mills
for all purposes, which will produce.
together with the state appropriation, a
total estimated revenue of $314,284.38
to meet the total estimated require
ments of :nti.(nii).
"We have made no report with regard
U the completion of the new hitfh
school, as the balance In the hlfth
school account will probably be suf
ficient to complete this building.

Mr. Gibbons seconded the motion for
ine purpose, as ne stated, of getting It
before the house, and then asked for
nn PTnlnnnttnn nt tha lnniu.Da
Mr. Jennings remarked that he was
after similar Information and no doubt
many of the other members were, for
which reason he had moved to lay the
matter over for two weeks. He added
that It would look better also if the
whole board instead of five members

the rerjort when thev vntu.l nn it
Mr. Wormser said the committee
made the Increase very reluctantly. 12x

that last year's board Bpent all the

and explained, that several of the new
buildings have not been commenced yet
and aome of Ujem will not be until
next September. Consequently the pres
ent board is not providing altogether
for old imp rovement but also many
new ones.
A vote was then taken on the motion
to postpone action on the report until
next meeting, and it resulted as fol

Mr. Jennings made another strong
speech against immediate action on the
report, after the motion to lay over had
fieen declared lost and the adoption of
the report was before the house. He
said that the board was giving but lit
tle consideration to so momentous a
matter as the increasing of the taxes
20 pi r cent. A matter of great moment

some of the members, he said. Not hav

The new bids for heating and ventl-
tnting No. 10 building, to be erected on J
Prospect avenue, was openen last ntgni

specifications of Architect K. H. Davis.
The former ones which were thrown
out were on various systems.

acceptance of new No. 19 building and
made the following1 recommendations.

ELEVEN MORE SUFFERERS.'
I nnsual Largo Number of Scarlet I ever
Cases Hep ortcd Lost Week.
Kleven new cases of scnrlct fever
were reported to the board of health
Inst week and three other came in yes
terday. No great alarm Is felt by the
health authorities, as the disease Is not
of it violent nature, only one death re
sulting from the fourteen cases. An
other good circumstance Is that the
cases are not confined to any one lo
cality, but scattered throughout the va
rious parts of the city, showing that
there Is no epidemic, but merely nn
unusual rate for one week.
There were three new cases of diph
theria and three deaths resulting
therefrom. Three cases of measles
were reported, but no deaths from that
disease.
The total number of deaths from nil
causes during the week was thirty
four, which is slightly above, the aver
age. DAVIS' CLOSING SHOW.
The Nor Company is the Attraction for
the I. list Three Pa vs.
The talented Noss family entertained
at Davis' theater yesterday. It is the
last attraction or the season; and the
filial performance will be given on
Wednesduy night. The Noss company
was here before, but now it Is even bet
ter than before, rivery member Is an
artist. A more original tramp special
ist than Charles K. Sweet never cre
ated laughter.
Miss Mignon Carroll, ns a burlesque
actress and clever musician, adds much
vigor to the performance. The show
abounds In musical outbursts. "The
Fairy Hells" Is pretty, und a descrip
tive piece entitled "On the Midway"
awakens vivid recollections in those
who saw the world's fair. Miss Carroll
plays a line solo on the oboe. Then
music is extracted from the twists of
ox horns, saxaphones and other Instru
ments. Perhaps the finest melody
given is the mandolin selection from
"11 Trovatore." Throughout the play
there Is a Hunt and amusing plot and
In addition a burlecque dramatic sketch
Is well given. All In all the show is a
great closing attraction.
Next Saturday evening a perform
ance will be given at the theater by
well-known artists for the benefit of
Harry Thome and his wife. Miss Mag
gie Wlllett, two very popular theatri
cal people. '
Our Woman's Pnpcr.
The number of enterprising business
firms that have already securer! ndver-

aircady giving the ladles In charge of
the edition great encouragement. The
rooms of the association yesterday
ptornlng presented a businesslike nir,
and not a few contracts were made by
Vi o clock. The Interesllrg mritter al
ready furnished by the lady editors will,
we feel sure, be of great Interest to the
readers, and this together with tjie
I eiuillful designed first page and chil
dren's page will make the Issue a valu
able paper to be preserved in the fam
ily archives. To be represented In the
columns of the pnper by a well set ad
vertisement, with proof of the same
submitted before publication, It will
be necessary for an early contract to
be mude, and copy prepared ut an early
moment, and advertisers who have de
layed this important matter should at
tend to it at once.

KIXT0X COAL COMPANY'S SlIT
It Was Tried and a Verdict Retoraed for
tho Defendant Effort la Now
Being Made to Secure a
New Trial.
Argument court began yesterday
morning, but the rule entered upon At
torney Cornelius Smith to show cause
why he shall not be disbarred did not
come up. It will be disposed of one
way or another today.
The arcument was set down for 10
o'clock In the morning. At that hour
the court was busy hearing motions.
About 3 o'clock in the afternoon Judge
Archbald announced that the court was
ready to proceed with the Smith case.
City Solicitor Torrey, who, with At
torneys S. II. Price and E. C. New
comb, was appointed by the court to
prosecute the rule, stepped forward and
informed Judge- Archbald that Attor
ney A. H. McCulluni. of Montrose, one
of Mr. Smith's counsel, is ill and for
that reason they were not disiiosed to
take the case up until today. Mr.
Smith came into court a few minutes
Inter, and when he heard the case was
continued until today he got up and
left.
Two Important cases were nrgued.
One wns a rule Jor a new trial In the
assumpsit suit of the Wlnton Conl com
pany against the Pancoast Coal com
pany. Attorneys S. P.. Price nnd J.
Alton Davis represented the plaintiff
and ex-Judges W. II. Jcssup and II. A.
Knupp the defendant.
CAl'SK OF THE Sl'lT.
The Wlnton Coal company brought
suit against the defendant for the vulue
of a certain quantity of coal mined,
amounting to about $40,000, and claimed
thnt the right and title to nn undivided
Interest representing this amount was
vested In them nnd not In the defend
ant. The case was tried last January
and the jury found a verdict for the de
fendant. The arguments yesterday
were for a new trial.
Attorney I. H. Burns nrgued to strike
off tho nonsuit In the action of trespass
brought by Mrs. John Lilly against
the city of Scranton. Mrs. Lilly was
thrown out of her carriage on June 5,
ISiiil, opposite No. 41 Lackawanna, ave
nue, by the collision of the hook and
ladder company's truck with her car
riage. She sustained permanent In
juries. When the case came to trial
the court granted a nonsuit on the
ground that the city was not linble for
the negligent not of a fireman or police
man, ns these ate servants of the state.
Mr. Hums argued that in this case
the use of the team was not for the
state In going to a fire or coming from
it. bus the team was In the use of the

RUNS IIAVU BEEN CHANGED.
New Train Arrangement on the Central
Kuilrond of New Jersey.
At the last chansre of time table on
the Jersey Central a change was also
made In tho rVews on passenger runs.
The runs used to be from Jersey City
to Kaston, Easton to Mauch Chunk
and Mauch Chunk to Scranton and re
turn. Now. however, three crews are
run through without change dally from
Jersey City to Mauch Chunk and re
turn, while two crews are run dally
from Mauch Chunk to Jersey City ami
return. These crews make five round
triiis per week, then lay off two days
and get a week's pay for their work.
The conductors do not like this change
very much, as they used to cover about
150 miles for a trip and work six days,
while now they have to cover about 240
miles for n trip of five days per week.
They would naturally rather work
under the old order. Milton Weller nnd
Joe Klbler are the upper end conductors
affected by this change. Conductor
llerkhelser, of Jersey City, is one of the
lower end men In the change. Mr.
Eerkhelser used to run an express
train, but now he runs the newspaper
train out of Jersey City and makes all
the stops to Mauch Chunk. The runs,
however, will probably be more pleas
ant as the men become accustomed to
the same, ns It gives them two whole
dnyj to themselves each week.

C0MIXG ATTRACTION'S.
This evening at the Academy of Mu
sic that clever comedian, Joseph Hart,
will be seen in "A Uay Old Hoy" as a
benefit for the Elks. Mr. Hart and his
very competent company were seen
here a few weeks ago In the same play
and were received with the greatest
favor. "A Gay Old Loy" Is the story
of a foolish man. who, although a wid
ower and the father of a bevy of beauti
ful daughters, falls In love with a
French actress. His deceased wife
stated in her will that her property
should not revert to . her husbnnd In
case he remarreld within two years af
ter her death. He mnrries the Parisian
actress within the forbidden time and
the new husband endeavors to keep
the fact a secret. He finds much diffi
culty in doing this for the reason that
his daughters suddenly arrive home.
The artiste becomes a domestic per
force and has violent love made to her
by her husband's friend, who is Ignor
ant of the marriage. The situations
are extremely ridiculous and the com
plications wonderful.
