AN ADVICE FROM CITY SOLICITOR
Snuclnl Committees Appointed to Try

Problem - Ijticlmwnniin Avenua
I'livinp Ordinance, Involving a City
lUpouiu ol I?'-!, 500, 1'iiHScd Two
Ue!iieliuc--Itc".olutlon for 11 Now
I'riiiililiu (.oniniiuv Steamer.
Common council had n love feast Inst
evening. This branch of the city legls
Iatute, which Is tho mote noted for f re
fluent partisan tilts and wrangles, got
leally down to business and though
there- vveie freiiuetitly expressed dif
ferences of opinion the division never
renehed a point vvhcio the Republican
minority and the unterrllled majoilty
wete at loggei heads. An unusually
large amount of Important business
was tiansaetcd.
The tues committee presented a rc
poit throuzli Mr. Oliver, which puts
a ejuietUH on the glowing custom of
exonerating the pnvnicnt of taxes on
real estate. Aecoullng to the report
tho city solicitor was asked for two
opinions, w nether or not reul estate
exonerations wcto legal, and, if Illegal,
whether or not cxonciittions grunted
In the- past could become Hens. The
city solicitor made this icply:
An exoneration is vlrtua'l an exemption
of the pioitcity fiom taxation and the
only pioperty exempte-d from taxation
aio public pioicrtics used for public pur
poses, actual placis of religious wor
ship, pi icos of burial not used or I.elJ
for piivato or eoiporuto piullt, and Insti
tutions of purely I itblle chat Its. The law
contemplate o fai as possible, niu.ilU i
tlon In taxation. It is the lnlentlon thit
the burden of taxation dinll fall equally
upon nil The statute declares, as herein
stated, what properties hall bo cximpte 1
from taxation, ond statutes exempting
pioperty from taxation must be construed
strictly .
thu I'ownn to i:xi:mpt.
Tho power to exempt is not included
In tho power to tax but must bo tpecllb -nll
conferred i legislative cnictnnnt
bas,cd upon c uistltiitlopal provision. Tner
Is no constitutional provision or statute
In this state tmiovverlns exemptions
othci than as nbovi mentioned. There
fore It Is my opinion that councils ba'-e
no authority to ojonciatc tuxes on leil
estate.
In reply to jour second question as to
whether exonerations granted In the pat
become liens agalrst such propcities,
would bay that tho act of a-stmbl) pro
vides that no tax shall remain a lien on
real estate foi a longer pel loci than two
yearw fiom the time of such levy or as
sessment iimess the same be cute led of
record in the prothonotnrj's ofllce. In or
der to continue the Hen, tho same must
bo revived cvciy live years.
Tho following recommendation of the
committee was approved:
Your committee, thciefore, disapproves
of tho accompanying exonerations nnd
further n commends that ire city solicitor
be and hereby Is directed to ugister tin el
enter as Hens nil exonerations illegally
allow ed during the current tlscil jeai.
Captain Molr called the attention of
the council to the Injustice done to
permanent merchants by the tempo
ral y presence In tho city of so-called
bankrupt, lite-sale or csslgnee-ale
goods. Ho nndeistood that the 1S9",
ordinances Impioving n tax of $300 per
month of the stnt" act which author
ized such an ordinance had been ele
clnied unconstitutional, The city ot
Heading, however. Imposed a monthly
license of $1,000 and Scranton, we be
lieve, should find a way to do tho same
thing. lie thciefoie offered the follow
ing resolution which wan adopted:
ITINERANT VENDERS.
"That a special committee be ap
pointed nnd, In conjunction with the
city solicitor, that they bo Instructed
to draw up an ordinance? dealing with
those itinerant venders of fake bank
rupt nnd lire sales and 11 w hat amount
of ta:i can bo levied on above described
elas of piratical dealers." Before
adjournment Piesldent Nealls appoint
ed a special committee ns follows:
Messrs Flanagan, Zeleller nnd Keller.
The ordinance granting property
owners permission to pae Lackawan
an aenuo from Washington to Jeffer
son avenues passed two readings but
with an amendment that the city's
shaio of the expense bhould be $2,D0O
lnstond of $3,000.
The following resolution was teport
ed by the lire department committee
and was adopted' "That the Chief of
the lire department and the Joint (Ire
depaitment commute. leaso or pur
chase a steamei of tho second class,
the pi lee not to exceej $1,1!00 and the
teims of payment not to begin until
the llrst of next April."
An o'dlnnneo ot eating evver district
No. 10 In the Fifth, Sixth, Fifteenth,
and Eighteenth waids was icported
favojably by tho seweis nnd drains
committee and icCmed for pilntlng.
Mr. Noone ptesented his proposition
of a year ago to bond the city for the
purpose of acciulrlng n municipal light
plant. Ho Introduced nn ordinance
Identical with that ot 1806 and it was
leferred to committee The ordinance
piovldes for nn Inciease of the city
debt by the issue of city bonds In the
amount of $200,000, the question to be
submitted to the vote of the electots
at tho next municipal election on the
third Tuesday ot Tebrunry, 1893. After
the nassaso of the ordinance and at
least thirty days before the election tho
notice of the election shall bo adver

"Merry Maidens nt the French Rail"
Is the title which envois a varied en
tertainment of a decidedly up-to-date
uattiic which was on the boards at Da

CAVING HAS STOPPED.
Hole Alads by Dropping of the Surface
Filled Damage Done to the
Zurilcih Properly.
The settling on Nortli Main avenue,
Ninth Set anion, ceased during yester
day and the work of filling In, begun
Wednesday night by employes ot the
Deluwiue anil Hudson company, was
finished nt 2.30 o'clock In the morning.
Dining the night, however, the settling
continued and at duvUuht the newly
made surface was several feet below
wheie the surfuce ought to be.
The woik of filling In wns begun over
again A long piocesslon of teams
moved from the ash dump nt the Von
Stoich boiler house to the deep cave In
front of the propel ty ot John Zutflcili,
on Mnln avenue.
At S 30 o'clock the lining in had pro
glossed so far that stieet car trafllc
which had been blocked, wns started
The cave coveted a space of forty feet
squaie and aveiaged six feet In depth.
It Is estimated that ISO wagon loads
of ashes weie dumped into tho cavity.
No fuither settling was noticed yester
day. The scene of tho disturbance was
much visited yesterday. On the street
nothing but a tumbled about patch of
ashes could bo seen, but the woik of
the cave was best shown nt the Zur
llelh ptopeity. The double dwelling
stands nt least twenty feet above the
load and is approached by a series ot
stone stesis In double terrace. These
.steps and tho three-foot stone wall In
fiont weie dlsiilaied and tho stones
scattered about. Yestoulav afternoon
the steps weie rebuilt by Delaware and
Hudson masons, but tho wall was al
lowed to totter as the cave left It.
A long crack In the brow of the first
teuace thieatens the tumbling over to
tho sidewalk of a big mass of earth.
The Zuillelh building has not been ells
t ut bed bv the piesent cave. Last Sep
tember the building was shaken by a
settling.
Nothing can bo done nt this time to
stop tho cave fiom the Inside of the
mine, as the work would be extiemely
dnngeious. The Rock vein, where the
falls aie oceuuin::, has been aband
oned for yeni.s nnd nt the point of tho
caves is almost completely blocked and
imrmssable.

Aella Oicen lead selections fiom his
own poems, In tho Elm Park lectuie
loom last evening The entertainment
was interesting ond pleasing. Mr.
Green's llteiaiy ability Is of a high

his thoughts was moio successful than
Is usually the case with authors and
the'r own pioduetlons.
The entertainment was for the bene
fit of tho Upworth League and was
enjoyed by a Jaige nudlence.
A NEW HISTORY.
A book which should bo of value
to all who aio Interested In the icllgl-

from the ptc.ss under the title of "A
Hlstoiy of Luerne ricsbytery" by tho
Rev. Jonathan Osmond of Tncoma
Wash. This ecclesiastical body was
oiganlzed In 1M1 as a missionary
ptesbyteiy and was merged Into .the
1 resent 1'iesbvteiy of Lackawanna
in 1S70. Included within Its boundar
ies was the whole of the anthracite
coal regions. The book Is not a dry
list of names nnd elates but touches
tho htftorlcol. Iiulusttlnl and commer
cial development nt northeastern Penn
sylvania at many points. As a com
pcdlum of lo-al history the work Is
invaluable. The w liter has given the
most cateful atfntlon to details even
in legarl to the early days of the
churches, and has made tho nast live
again In his pages. Ills work has been
entliely a labor of love and tho book
shows that ho has been In love with his
task. As a pioneer when this was
mls-slonaiy ground, ho speaks from per

Ono of thu borough nudltors, It ap

exceptions to tho report of tho other
two members of the board regarding
the accounts of M. A. Cummlngs, col
lector of electric light rates. Court
appointed W. W. Lnthrope ns auditor
In tho case nnd he proceeded to take
testimony nnd frame a report, finding
that the collector was owing the bor
ough a small balance.
Hon. C. P. O'Mnlley. appearing for
tho majority report of the auditors,
filed exceptions to Auditor Lathrope's
leport and yesterday arguments in the
matter were heard. Mr. O'Mnlley con
tended that the auditor exceeded his
authority in making nn audit of the
rate collector's account, as the law only
requires him to frame an Issue that the
matter may be tried before a Jury.
James II. Toney, attorney for tho ex

that tho auditor was appointed to

so nnd that he did just what ho was

Costs Nothing,

It is easy to. say things in print,
to assert that the values offered are
the lowest, to endeavor to create a
belief on the part of the reading
public that there is only one good
house in this particular line of busi
ness, and that the house making
this assertion is, of course, the only
one. All this may be done, and is
done, in every city.
This Is Not Our
Way of Thinking
We are awaie of the fact that
there are others in the field. We
expect keen competition and we
intend to meet it in the right way
by selling reliable goods only, and
charging as low a margin of profit
as we can sell them for and "live,"
