As predicted by The Trlbuno after It had given proper publicity to tho mat ter, select council has given n black eye to the board ot control's proposi tion that tho city furnish for the board's use In recording tho school tax n copy of tho recent assessment, ino resolution requesting tho copy Involves an expenditure of $800 nnd much trouble lnstend of n cost of $100 nnd little work under the previous system. Thu pertinent facts In the contro versy nro contained In a report made by tho judiciary committee of select council last night. The report was rend by Mr. Sanderson and Is, In l'art, as follows: The section of tho net on which the de mand Is bni-ed Is in follows, viz.: "Tho city clerk or other competent person nu thorlzed by city councils shall make for tho udo of the school board u truo copy of tho completed assessment nnd shall duly cettlfy tho same to tho said board." Nowhere In the act docs It provide for compensation for this work. Tho city clerk Is nn nfllcer of the city created by act ot legislation, elected as prescribed therein and his duties aro clearly de fined nnd his salary fixed. This act at tempts to add to thoso duties, which. If ho Is compelled to perform, ho must per form under tho ralary ho now receives In other words, bo must do tedious and expensive work for another corporation, which derives Its own taxes and Is sup posed to pay Its own expenses, under tho salary ho receives from the city. NO APPROPRIATION. No appropriation lias been made for this purpose nnd ncno ought to be. except un der the stress of necessity. It has been decided that where additional duties arc Imposed on an olllecr without provision for compensation, ho must perform them under hlr existing salary. But the act allows tho authorization by city councils ot another "competent per son." It seems to your committee, there foie, that, as this Is work for the benefit of the board of control, that competent person Is tho crctnry or other person designated by the board nnd wo herewith report a resolution to that effect. As the city, If It acceded to the de mand of th" school hoard and directed tho city clerk to do the work, might pos sibly bo put to heavy expense, as a mat ter of Justice to Its clerk und as we can not think the board was awaro of the re sults, we tako tho liberty of laying be fore councils somo or" them: Heretofore n column has been left In tho tax dupli cate for the Insertion ot school taxes which has been done by tho secretary of tho board ot a cost of $100. In this shape they have been handed over to thu city treasurer and have facilitated the work In his office by having but one set of books to refer to. If tho board fol low their present intention, the city ircas urcr will havo to search two sets nt boo;s or go to the expense of money and time In having them copied into one book. Wo aro infoirr.cd by the city clerk thnt tho copying of tho assessment books would Involve an expense of nt least $100; that tho cost to the school beard of mal ing the duplicate would amount to as much more and thus nn additional cost to tho taxrnycrs of $700 over tho cost of the old method, which was J100, would be Incurred. Wo nro further Informed that copies could not bo furnished Inside ot twenty-five days, that twenty days would be consumed In making the dupli cate and at least ten days would be nec essary for the city treasurer to copy th'-'tn Into one book, or nearly two months before taxes could bo coleeted. If ono person attempted to copy the assess ments nnd make the duplicates It would take three months. JUSTICK OF DEMAND. In view of these facts It Is difficult for your committee to realize the Jus tlco of the demand of tho school board. It seems to us that the heard was not awaro of the attendant cxpenso to the taxpayers and that due regard for their Interests would at least permit the fol lowing of the (del method at a cost of JIM against a cost of $S00 If tho new Is fol lowed. The following resolution recom mendeil by the committee accompanied the report: "That the secretary of tho board of control of the Scranton City School district or any other compe tent person designated by said board Is hereby authorized to make copies for the use of said board, of the city assessment books for tho current year; provided 'thai said copies must bo made In the city clerk's office from which the assessment books must not bo removed, and, provided further, that tho city shall bo liable for nnd put to no expense on account of said copy ing." The report and resolution were ad opted along with Mr. Roche's amend ment that a copy bo served on the board of control. CAPT. MAY DECLINES. Would Ue Unnble to Accept Command o( tho New Itoglmont. Captain W. A. May, ex-commander of Company D, Thirteenth regiment, who hah been suggested for tho colonel cy of the regiment that Is to succeed the Thirteenth, would not accept the post If It was tendered him. He made that statement to a Trlbuno reporter who questioned him yesterday on tho subject. "While I feel honored by being men tioned for such a eionsplcuous and re sponsible position," said Captain May, "I could not accept It. My duties ns a business man are too exacting to per mit even a consideration of the thing and they are steadily increasing. If I war, moro independently situated I would feel differently ubout it." Captain May remarked, os a com ment, that Ills position in the matter was so well understood that his name would never be formally suggested for the command, much less would it ho offered him.

Her husbaml some months ago decided to abandon the mines and go to Cnllfomla to seak bettor employment. They had enough money saved to allow her and the children to take a trip to Genoa, the city of her birth, and the day she left last week for New York, he went to San Francisco. Sho did not want to take passage on tho La Bourgogno, preferring a German Lloyd steamship, which would land In tho harbor ot her native city. Tho French liner's destination was Havre, and the journey from there to Genoa by rail takes two days and two nights. But lu view of tho number of Ital ians nround hero who were going on the La Bourgogne, sho dlssmlssed her preference for the other line, saying as she wns buying her ticket that she knew she would regret It. She expect ed to stay until tho fall in Genoa ami roturn to join her husband In Califor nia. Her youngest child was a baby, three months old, and the other was 2 years of age.

He was a first cousin of Abramo Gavazzl, who was 30 yeais old, whose wife was 29, and whose chil dren were 5, 2 and i years, respectively. Th.'se two families hoped to return in the fall. They were bound for Milano also. Ferdinando Staftaronl and wife; were the only ones of tho party bound for their native land to stay. They wero In the evening- of life, both over 60 years of ago. They had a small sum of money saved and were looking for ward to spending their declining years in comfort.
