In anticipation of a lecont select
council resolution of a weeU ago, but
which did not teach the lower Innnch
until last night a lepoit. wat submit
ted by the sinking fund commissioner.
It shows S53S.00P to bo the bonded In
debtedness of the city, a i eduction of
f lJi'.O'Hi nam one yui-i su
The lepoit, which was leferred to the
Jnaiciaiy committee, Is as follows:
To the Honorable, tho Members of tho
Select and Common Councils, City of
Scranton
Gentlemen1 We. the undersigned board
of sinking fund commissioners, respect
fully set forth tho condition of the several
sinking fund accounts at the close of the
Ilcal year, ending the first Monday of
April, 1S9S.
The law piovldes that the report shall
be mado iu January of eacli jiar. Tho
law also provides that the tax duplicates
must be placed in the hands of the treas
urer on or before Juno 1, and all taxes
remaining unpaid on Oct 1 of each vear
shall lie placed In the hands of delin
quent colli dors This would give the
sinking fund commissioners an opportun
ity to ascertain the condition of the sev
eral sinking fund accounts nnu report to
councils In Januirv.
It has been made pinctienlly Impos.
slble to do this on iccount of exti ndli g
the payment of taxes bevond the peilod
as fixed by tho uct of assembly
The duplicates of 18'7 taxes were placed
In the hands of the city treasurer on
Sept 7, 1S17 The councils by resolution
extended tht time of payment without
penalty to Jan 1 ls9S The trcasuier
also lecdved taxes wltn penalty added,
pending thu pieparatlon of dillii'iuent
duplicates and the appointment of de
linquent tax collectors It thetefoio be
comes Impracticable to ascertain and re
poit the condition of the sinking fund
until the delinquent duplicates ore com
pleted and the treasurer has lensomthlu
time te balance and prove his accounts
It is evident that the law contem
plates the gi anting of three months fur
this pin pose as it provides that pa
ment of taxes to the treisurer shall cease
on Oct 1 and that tho sinking fund com
mlssloneis shall report the condition of
the sinking fund accounts In Januarj
The treasiuer having balanced his ac
counts and ascertained umoui.ts to the
credit o the several sinking fund nc
count'. did, on March 5, deposit the said
imounts as lepiesented bv collections to
the several Interest and sinking fund ne
counts, and tho same Is ot Interest, to
gether with the amounts to tho credit of
snlil funds from the taxes of pievlous
icars
The annuul statement of the city ticas
urer for tho llscal year ending on the
first Monday of April, K, gives a true
and correct report of said funds,

The concert given In the Provldenco
Presbyterian church last evening1 called
forth tin audience so largo as to require
extra chain to accommodate nil. The
occtslon was the Inauguration of tho
now Hook & Hastings pipe organ, Just
bought and placed In tho church.
Tho orpran Is a credit to tho makers
nnd Is admirably adapted In volume
nnd quality of tone for tho place In
which It is to be used. Only one ex
predion of opinion wns heard regard
Ing the Instrument and the concert and
that was of the most Haltering char
acter William C. Carl, of New Yotk, wns
tho organist, and admirably sustained
his reputation as a conceit performer.
Ills elaborate and varied programme
v as given with such line technique, on
both tnnnuls and pedals, and well chos
en registrations as to give genuine
plensure In every number. The skill
ful Inttoductlon of the "Star Spangled

Mrs. Shannon Cttmmlngs, of New
Yotk, Is a delightful singer. Her voice
lh n pure soprano, of exquisite quallt,
perfect intonation and almost faultless
execution. She accompanied herself
on the piano In two numboi, leeeivlng
n hearty nppliuo. to which she re
sponded with Bonnie Sweet Hesslo '
Tho tilo for violin, 'cello and plnno

Concetto was probably a suipil'.e to
many, who weie not aware of bin

ing was well lu.elved and deseivcd the
applause which followed.
The committee in chaige of the con
