INDEBTEDNESS MAY
INCREASED
WE HAVE NOT YET REACHED
THE END Or OUR ROPE.
Clty'c Liabilities May Do Increased
?G8,000 Without Submitting tho
Matter to a Voto of tho Citizens
of tho City Ordinance Must Do
Introduced in Common Council.
Major Fart of tho Opinion Read for
Select Council at Last Night's
Meeting.
From City Solicitor McGlntcy anil
Wlllard, Wurri-n & Knapp un opinion
was last nlcht received In select coun
cil on the legality of the Iloche ordin
ance, providing for tho tesurftclng of
over tlnoe miles of asphalt pavement.
The oplnlun Is that an Indebtedness
Tf JGS.OOO may be Incurred without suu-
mlttlnK tho question to popular vote,
but that certain provisions necessary
to the leRallty of tho ordinance have
been overlooked. It Is tho further
opinion of tho attorneys that the ordin
ance should be lit 3t introduced In com
mon council.
On motion of Mr. Roche, the opin
ion was inferred to the common coun
cil. He said a new ordinance would
be Intioduced In that body In con
foimlty with the opinion, which was,
In part, as follows:
Vo cannot regaid this ordlnanco other
wise than as an Increase of tho Indebt
edness of Bcrnnton and, we think, its le
gality or illegality must be determined en
that basis.
We aic of tho opinion that under
constitution provision, the net indebted
ncsu of the city of Scranton cannot bo in
creased to an amount In the aggregate
exceeding two per centum of tho valua
tion of tho taxable property within tho
limits of the city as determined by the
last adjusted valuation of such property
without submitting tho question to tho
electors for their approval; and if the
contracts and obligations, provided lor
in this ordinance, exceed that limit, tho
ordinance will, neccsarlly, fall. Atten
tion must then be directed to tho financial
condition of tho city of Scranton to as
certain whether the obligations provided
for by the ordinance can be incurred
without exceeding such constitutional
limit.
FIFTH SECTION OF ACT.
The fifth section of the act of April 20,
1S74. is us follows-
"The word 'Indebtedness,' used in this
act, shall be deemed, held and taken to
Include any nr.d all manner of debt, as
well Moating as funded of the said munic
ipality, and the net nmount of said In
debtedness shall bo asceitalncd bv de
ducting from the gross amount thereof,
the solvent dtbt, and all revenues appli
cable within one jear to the pavment of
the same "
It appears by tho certificate of
tho city controller that on April
4, ISO, tho bonded Indebted
ness or the city of Scranton
was $012,000 IX)
To which should be added for
unpaid warrants, contracts and
other account") subject to ad
justment "-Mi: re
Making the total gross Indebted
ness of tho eity rG74.I1 J Ml
Erom this should be deducted, In nc-
cord mco with the provisions of tho Ifth
section of the net of 1S"4, as above iiuoted,
tho following- resources:
Cash in general city lund $ 18,41107
Cash In Interest and sinking
funds 74,210 15
Delinquent taxes and other Items
collectable 20,000 KJ
Bonds of tho cltj, series of 1S1J.
which have been purchased
nnd nre held In the several
sinking funds of the city .. 104,000 00
Revenues of the city nvallahlo
within one cnr to pay or apply
upon Its indebtedness SC'J'SOO
j:s:,,j7!) a
Deducting the above named re
sources from the gross Indebt
edness of tho city leaves a
balance or net Indebtedness of
the cltj, calculated In accord
aneo with section S of the act
of 1674, of tl,UM 11
WAY IT IS ASCERTAINED.
It should be explained that tho Item of
S"o,27b. abevo set iorth undei the title o:
current revenues applicable within ono
vear to tho pivment of the indebtedness
of the citv, Is ascertained b taking the
upproprlatloiu for the ear 1S.0S tor sink
ing fund purposes, amounting in the ag
gregate upon a levy of two and eight
tenths mills to the sum of $il,:S and de
ducting fror. It the Interest lor one jear
upon the bonded Indebtedness of tho city
the amount of such Interest being the
sum of $.'8,100, leaving tho balance 53C
278, which Is applicable within a period of
one jear to tho pajment of the principal
of the debt. We have, theretore, the net
Indebtedness of tho city amounting to the
sum of $391,293 14.
The next lnciulry must bo directed to
the amount of taxable propertj In the
city, which we llnd from the adjusted
valuation of 1S33 to bo as follows.
Real estate $21 C4VJ12 00
Perbonal properly I,34S,Oo3 00
Total $2J,P9.',317 iJ
Two per cent, of this amount is tho
sum of $!59,SIG 31 and the difference, there
fore, between two per centum of the val
uation of tho taxable property of tho city
and tho present net Indebtedness of tho
city, Is tho sum of $6S.411 10, nnd up to
this amount, wo aro of the opinion the
city authorities of the city of Scranton
have- the right to Incur additional In
debtedness without submitting tho ques.
Hon to tho electors, for theii approval or
disapproval.
The seventn section of the ordlnanco
under consideiattou appropriates the sum
of seventy thousand dollars for the pay
ment of the contract provided for by tho
ordinance, and the fifth section of the
ordlnanco provides that the mavoi shall
issue bonds, under the teal of the city and
attested bv the city clerK for talcing
funds for the pajment of the said wot 1c
We think tho ordinance should uptcl
dolly limL the debt to be Incurred to an
amount not exceeding klty-elglit thou,
wand four hundred and thirteen dollars
und ten cents nnd the number of the
bonds, to he Issued by tho nmvor, should
ulso bo distinctly set out There should
also, we think, he a clause in tho nidi
nance providing tor h tax levy jleldlng
;i certain amount per ennuin equal to
elcht per centum or the nmount ot th
debt to bo Incurred
ILLEGAL IN PRESENT l'ORM.
In the nbsenco of these matters, tho or

following Hie line of the chances sugsc.it

you can shako the Ague by using
AYEK'S AGUE CUKE. It is tho
ono certain and infallible cure for
that depleting disease. It has been
tried in many countries and under
various conditions, and has never
been known to fail. An old veteran
writes:
"You may be Interested to know 1117 ex
perience many years ago with Aycr's Ague
Cure. Tho year before tho war I was in
Kansas. Some Uenty ot u3 nero engaged in
farming, and BuJJenly all ere taken with
fever and aguo. We tried alracU everything
w.thout gotting any help, till at last I sent to
tho city and procured a bottla of Aycr's Aguo
Cure. I recovered at once. The othcra fol
lowed my example, and tbey, too, recovered.
Every ono ia camp took tbo remedy and was
cured by it. I went all through the war,
hvvo lived in thirteen different states of tho
Uniou, and hai o never had the ague since."
