Legal action against tax collectots
was authorized according to recom
mendations contained in a report pre
sented by Captain May, chad man of
tho finance committee. Following Is
a patt of the report which suggests
also legal action against the city for
the collection of police court fines:
Under duto of the Cth Inst, the board s
attorney. D. J. Retd, esq, calls the at
tention of the committee to the fact that
no attention has been inld to his com
munications sent to tho select and com
mon councils In regard to amounts duo
for lines collected for drunkenness by tho
various aldermen and the mair of the
city and not paid to the bchool district
ns required by law We recommend that
Mr. Reedj be Instiucttd to bring action
lor tho recovery of the amounts legally
due the board.
Wo would recemmend that Mr. Reed
be Instructed to bring proceedings against
Mr. T. E. Jones, delinquent tax collector
for 1S93, $113 US. and Mr. I" L. Ward, de
linquent tax collector for 1S3, $1,011.13, as
the efforts of the attorney to have thes-5
amounts' collected without legal pi ot cod
ings have fulled.
WATER RATES.
Another report presented by Captain
May, but for the special committee ap
pointed to confer with the Scranton
Gas and Water company relative to a
readjustment of water rates, was ap
proved. The teport was, in, part, as fol
lows: Tho amount due tho Water company
(for Xos. 10. r, 30 und 19 buildings) based
upon tho rates objected to by the board,
und becniifco of which they were reterrsU
to tho special committee. Is J.'.olC 'Si. Af
ter sevenil Interviews with a icptesenta
tlvo of tho company tho committee suc
ceeded in getting a rttluctlon of tho hills
to $1.51717 provided the settlemtnt was
agreed to b the 15th lmt. As this Is a
reduction of $1,09 S2 and It Is not prov
able that a greater 1 eduction can ba
leached by a further delav. the commit
tee would respoetfullv recommend that
the offer of tho Wnter companj be ac
tepted mid orJets be drawn foi $1,517.17,
payment In full of the above account.
Tho committee wus only able to get a
reduction In tho into to be charged In Iho
future for these four buildings to $300 a
year, flat rate for each building, or
$1,200 a year This Is a heavv reduction
from the rate chargetl represented by the
IiIIIh for which settlement Is about to be
made, ns stnted In the first part of this
report, yet It is not what the committee
believes Is on equitable rate for thfse
buildings Ftom their expeilcnce with
the meter put In at No. if, school which
showed 11 consumption of wuter whhh
would cost the bonrd about $s per month
(the experiment with which caused the
long delay In this report), wo would rec
ommend that meters be placed at six
buildings, ntmelv. Nos 10, 12. 15, ic nnd
11 by the Wnter compnti); these to le
placed by October 1 .IMS so that bills In
futuio may bo rendered on the basis cf
the actual consumption of water ut thes
buildings
It will not bo out of plnce nt this tlmn
to sav that great care should be exercIsM
by the committees whose province It Is
to purchnse water npplhnces for use In
various buildings that those should be f-e.
lected which would require 11 minimum
use of water without detriment to the
snnltarv conditions of tho buildings. We
would also suggest that spring faucets,
or self-closing appliances, bo used whr-
ever practicable In nil tho buildings under
the control of tho board.
An adjournment was made to next
Monday night for general business.
Following Is the monthly report of
