The 1S(i8 appropriation ordlnnnce Is
something; that will receive Immediate
, attention. The Joint estlmaUa com
t mllti'o which will draft the meusme Is,
1 In pun, appointed, President Molr, of
I common council, having named his
I committer nt yesterday's reorganlza
1 tlon. President Chittenden hu not se
lected hla committees for the upper
branch, but he will announce tho select
estimates commlttco todaj.
The Joint estimates committee of the
new councils will meet nt once, cos-
Blbly tomorrow evening, and report a
1 pew appropilatlon ordinance to select
I council Thursday evening. It will then
be refened for printing and can bo
, passed dually on April 21 by the lower
, branch.
j In Its general make-up the appro
priation measure which died yesterday
was not objoctlonablo to the Republi
cans. It contained, however, several
Itt'.is Ilugrantly devoted to local pur-
i.oseu and which can be reduced or
el'mlnnted. There are, too, several de-p.i-tiiient
Items nlch will bo reduced.
Or.o Item In particular to feel the
n will be that lor icpalrlng and lm-
1 proving the sewer system in the Fourth
1 c'.l'iti'ct. the Seven'n ward, for which
' 5-.T.C0 had been set aside. The city
I englneei recently estimated that $GU
would cover tho cost of urgent repairs.
I For o new outlet at the river he estl-
mated $2,100. It Is proposed to teduce
j the whole item to about $500.
TJi $1,000 appropriated for a new
, Cumberland Hoeo house Is to bo taken
away entirely. Two Items appropriat
ing $000 for repairs to the Neptune en
' giiii' house and horse3 for that com
pany will probably be cut to $500. Sev
eral minor Items ?et aside for certain
departments will be reduced to the ex
tent of several bundled dollars.
Then a total of at least nearly $1,000
will be obtained. Most, If not all, of it
will be given the street department for
repairs to asphalt pavement.
In addition to taking fiom the dead
appropriation oidlnnnce the $1,000 for a
new building for Columbia Hose com
pany. It Is probable that an attempt
will be made In councils to disband the
company. "Disband" Is, maybe, nn
Improper word to use In this rase, but
the result would be the same ns far as
the company's Identity with the flie
department would be concerned. Cer
tain members or the councils say the
company is an organization unneces
.sary to the efficiency of the city's lire
seivlco, but It is believed these coun
cllmen would find then task of dls
bnndment a. most dllllcult one.
Now that the new councils ate fait ly
In swing, speculations will arise as to
the prospects of a bond ordinance, or,
rather, the kind of n bond ordinance
contemplated. In prepnilng the ques
tion for vote by the people i-nunelli
1 must so provide by oidlnance. It rests
j with councils pilmaillv to determine
1 whether pat Its, peweis, pavement re
I paiis, street improvements or general
Imptovementsnre to be specified on the
ballot or whether all these are to be
j voted upon. It Is probable that tho
ordinance providing for the vote will
. include nil these propositions.
Such at leust. it Is believed, would
best suit the taxpayers, who could vote
for one or all tho proposed Issues and
councils would be guided by tho result.
It could be piovlded by previous ordl-
lmnnn flint Min tlirort , iwn louund ,-

I eehlng the most votes) should be fol
low (d by bond Issues for those specific
J purposes, it would probably result In
1 a preference for sewers, patka and
paement lepnlts in tho order named,
accoidlng to the opinion of well in
fotmed nnd unbiased city officials.
It uppcats that all the hurry and
trouble to pnss the Notth End paving
oullnnnte bifore the teorganlzatlon of
councils occui red was In vain. There
was no objection to the project, but a
question of legality has been raised
concerning the process, there being a
probable conflict between the ordlnnnce
and the petition.
The fifteen-day limit allowed by law
In which the mayor could sign the
measure expired yesteidny. Mayor
Ralley signed tho ordinance In view of
the possibility that it might be de
clared (lawless, but he has kept It In
his possession nnd will not surrendet
it until the point is settled.
The ordinance was drawn to conform
to a petition that would be emphatic
In Its declaration for a brick pavement.
After the passage of the measure
President Sanderson, of select council,
held that the petition was not specific
In Its declaration for brick, although
no question existed that It Indicated
such matcilal was wanted. Tho peti
tion contains the names of the abutting
property owners and their preference
of material. Only about one-fifteenth
of the number petitioned for nsphnlt
and tho lemalnder for lirlik, but tho
petition does not read, as It should,
that brick was wanted.

that n new ordinance will bo prepared

Monday in June
Taylor borough, following the lead
of Plttston and Scranton. has declared
for a school board war.
As stated previously In The Tribune,
sl far sighted citizens proceeded at
the Inst election to have themselves
elected school dlrectots at large under
the act of 1S34.
As soon ui .ludgo Archbald's decis
ion In the Scranton case was handed
down they proceeded to rollow the ex
ample of the local board of six and
yesterday, through Attorney John M.
Hnrrls, made application for a writ of
quo wairanto to compel the present
school board of Taylor to show cause
why It presumes to dliect the nffalrs
of the borough school district. Dis
trict Attorney John It. Jones Is made
the relator In the ense and the infor
mation Is sworn to by George L. Tim

The allegations ure that the act of
1S74 and Its supplements under which
the ptesent board works, do not auth
orize tho election of two dliectors fiom
each ward and that at all event, th's
act Is unconstitutional because It Is
opposed to the common school net ot

KIMBALL
PIANO

Great musicians use KImballs. The
testimony ot musicians who command
a salary of from $1,000 to $2,000 for each
performance must be accepted as hav
ing weight. They, at least, escape the
charge of not knowing vhat they are
talking about. Lillian Nordlca says:
"The more I use my Kimball piano tho
better I like it." Jean TJe Heszke says:
"We have concluded to purchase Kim
ball pianos for our personal use." John
Philip Sousa claims: "The Kimball
piano Is first-class in every respect."
Some of the most beautiful cases in
walnut, mahogany and oak can be seen
here. I have some fine large pianos,
all colors, from $250 to $350, on easy
terms, and a term of lessons free.
