SOMETHING ABOUT BOARD'S FINANCES OUGnT TO MAKE INTERESTING READING FOR TAXPAYERS. Firstly, Some rigures from tho City Treasurer's Report Showing How Much Money the Board Spent Dur ing the Last Fiscal Year; Secondly, a Samplo Brick or Two of How Somo of tho Monoy Was Spent, nnd, Thirdly, an Account of How Somo More Is to Be Spent. Tho matter of finance figured very conspicuously in last night's meeting of tho school board and if properly weighed ns presented below will In found to make up in interest all that was lost by the failure of the high and training school committee to submit Its report on the high school faculty. The statement of tho treasurer for tho last month of the fiscal year was presented. It showed a balance of S7. 400.41, of which $1,372.57 Is the' gen eral school account; 532.G0S.97, in the building account, and $53,518.87 In tho sinking fund. The board started tho year with $277, 737.25 In tho general school account; $32,175 to ho added to the sinking fund and $72,500 lit tho building account. Tho Item of $32,175, of course, docs not figure materially In this reckon ing, ns It Is simply set aside to pay off bonds. Tho remaining $350,237.25, however, does. It represents what tho board has spent, minus tho bal ance of S33.SS1.SI. All but $1,372.57 Is represented In tho building account. Last month $20,000 was borrowed from tho "West Side bank to meet current expenses of the general account. Lnst nlgjit Chair man Evans of the finance committeo called attention to tho fact that all of tho $20,000 was spent excepting $1, 372.57 and that bills aggregating $22, 000 wore approved nnd awaiting pay ment. His committee was authorized to borrow another $25,000. TWO BILLS RETURNED. Controller Howell supplied a sample brick of how somo of this money was spent. Two bills that the board had passed and submitted for tho control ler's counter-signature were returned with tho signature wanting. One was for painting a school fence. It charged fourteen days labor at $3 a day and one hundred and sixty pounds of paint at 12 cents a pound, a total of $160.80. The only comment tho controller made was: "Union wages for painters are 5 cents an hour, which for ten hours would bo $2.50." The other bill was for pointing and whitewashing the walls of a school building. Tho charge was 245 hours at 41',i cents an hour. At tho bottom of this tho controller wrote: "This work was done by two colored men who did not receive over $2 a day." Mr. Shires, of the building commit tee, which recommended the payment of these bills, explained that on motion of Mr. Langan, seconded by Mr. Casey, the board last winter ndopted a rule to the effect that only union men should bo employed on school work, and this being the case, tho committee felt Itself called upon to allow the union scale of wages for this work. As to the 41,,4 cents an hour for pointing and white washing, ho said tho man who did the Job informed tho committee that forty of 41, cents was for plastering and tho other 4' cents for whitewashing. The 40 cents represented the plaster ers' union scale of wages plus tho profit. Man. Langan and Mr. Casey denied tho statement that they fathered such a rule as Mr. Shires referred to and Mr. Casey challenged Mr. Shires to show on tho minutes where any such rule had been adopted. Tho rule that was adopted on their motion, they said, was one requiring that tho union label should be placed on ull printed matter used by the board. BILLS REFERRED BACK. Tho bills were referred back to the building committee. Mr. Gibbons want ed to refer the matter to Attorney Reedy, tho board's solicitor, to ascer tain whether or not tho controller had tho power to veto bills. "If he has the right, I admire him for exercising it," said Mr. Gibbons, "but I think ho has no such power. To my mind he Is acting a llttlo fresh." Mr. Jennlng3 argued against this, saying that there was no legal ques tion Involved as yet; that the only thing to ascertain was whether the bills were or were not excessive. On his motion tho bills went back to the building committee. Another new building Is to be con structed. It Is to take the place of tho present No. 2 in tho Twelfth ward, and is not to cost over $30,000, at least it was "resolved" that its cost should not exceed that figure. As tho chair was about to proceed with tho reports of committees, Mr. Walsh arose and, with a "Just wait a minute," lead from a slip of paper: "I move that a now twelve-room building be erected In tho Twelfth ward to tako the place of No. 2." The leaders of tho dominant faction made an effort to havo the mntter ro errcd to tho building committee, but Mr. AVulbh wouldn't havo It that way. He hnd been turned down by success ive building committees for three years ami proposed to get his building now, without tho commltteo's assistance. Ho made a motion to lay the refer ence motion on tho tnblo and it car ried with such a vociferous "nye" that the opposition did not call for a di vision. Tho original motion ti bulid the new school was then put. It carried by the following vote: Ayes Messrs. Francois, O'Malley, Casey, Roche, Zeldler, Walsh, Jennings, Sebrlefer, Langan, Gibbons, Leonard, Davis-12. Nays Messrs. Shires, Lvnns, May. Neuls, Jayne, Phillips, Barker, Schwass -9. WHY THEY OPrQSKD. Nearly all tho members who voted against tho motion raid they recognljred the necessity of a new hulldln? there, but felt the district could not stund tho expense, this year, after having erected two now buildings and' an ad dition to n third. Mr. Walsh moved that the cost of the building should not exceed $2,600 a room as tho rulo tho board prescribes. Mr. Barker offered as an amendment that this should Include heating, ven tilating, grading, architects fees and every other expense connected with tho building. Mr. Walsh accepted tho amendment and tho motion passed, Mr. Walsh also succeedd in having a motion passed directing Architect James Feoney to proceed with the plans, Mr. Jayne wanted this matter left to the building committor but when Mr. Walsh protested that "the controller of tho word Is tho one to des ignate tho architect; bo Is tho one let In on that," tho motion to refer was Withdrawn. Mesprs. Shires, Phillips, May, Barker- and Schwass were tho only ones to vote against tho motion. On motion of Mr. Jennings tho dis trict's superintendent of heating nnd ventilating, Engineer Hart Is, was di rected to draw the plans for tho bent Ing nnd ventilating of tho now build ing. Bids for building a retaining wall and laying sldewnlks at No. 32 building were rend as follows: It. It. Williams, $1,725: Kvnns . Williams, $2,080; Pat rick Muldoon, $1,800; S. Sykes & Sons, $1,771: M. J. Ruddy, $2,003.80; Peck Lumber Manufacturing company, $l,f)07; John Mulhern, $1,S2.; Vincent G. Oarluccl, $1,CC0; William Herbert & Son, $l,7r5: John Flanaghan, $1,81C60. The Evans .1 William, Carluccl, and Herbert bids were unaccompanied by certified checks, but after some wrang ling were formally received and refer red with tho others to tho building committee. The secretary was Instructed to sign tho waiver In tho South Side sewer assessment matter. TEACHER RESIGNS. Tho resignation of Miss Grace Laur ent Williams from grnmmer C depart ment of No. i was read and referred to tho teachers' committee. Accom panying it was a recommendntlon from Controller Shires that Miss Christmas be transferred from pri mary B to fill tho vacancy nnd that Miss Estclle McCulloch bo employed In primary B. Mr. Gibbous broke up tho mooting by proposing that twenty-one teachers, ono to bo selected by each controller, be formed into a committeo to select text books. Tho members, or enough of them to break a quorum, left the room hurriedly. The free text book laws provides that a school board can change Its text books every threo years and that the stylo of books shall be designated by n committee of teachers holding professional certificates. ODD KIND OF AN ASSET. An Effort Is Being made to Have Clarence M. Sanderson's Ceme tery Lots at Newark, New Jersey, Sold. A proceeding which is possibly unique in legal history was Instituted yes terday in bankruptcy court before Referee C. A. Van Wormer. It Is noth ing other than tho filing of a. petition to sell for debt a bankrupt's family plot In a cemetery. When Clarence M. Sanderson filed his petition In voluntary bankruptcy last November he stated In his sched ule that his total assets consisted of two lots In the Mt. Pleasant cemetery, Newark, X. J. Yesterday E. C. Newcomb, trustee for tho creditors, as the law directs, proceeded to sleze upon the assets. Following Is tho petition: In the District Court of tho Fnlted States for the Western District of Pennsyl vania. In the matter of Clarence M. Sander Bon, a bankrupt. No. C, In bankruptcy. Respectfully represents, E. C. New comb, trustee of the estato of said bank rupt, that It would be for tho benefit of said estate, tluu tho real estate of said bankrupt, to wit: All those two cer tain cemetery lets, situate In the Eighth ward of the city of Newark, In tho coun ty of Essex, and stato of New Jersey, being numbered 51 and to, on section N, as designated on a map or plan of lots of the Jit. Pleasant Cemetery company, In said city, each of said lots containing MS sipinio fe.'t of land, more or less, should bo sold, by auction, to tho high est and best bidder for cash. Wherefore he prays that ho may be authorized to mako sale by auction of said real estate as aforesaid. Dated this loth day of July. 1W!. E. C. Newcomb, Trustee. Tho referee yesterday afternoon sent out notices to tho creditors and the bankrupt that a hearing on tho peti tion would tako place ten days hence. Tho lots In question comprise the family burying plot and contain tho re mains of a number of the bankrupt's relnllves. It Is very likely that some thing will Intervene to prevent the threatened action. CASES STATED ARGUED. City Wants to Find Out Where Sho Is at. To ascertain whether or not action In assumpsit can bo brought by tho city to recover sewer assessment where liens have not been Hied a case stated was argued 'before Judge Gunster yes terday. Andrew Smith, mine foreman at the Leggetts, Creek, was defendant. Ho is a property owner in Section C of the sower district and is favorable to tho construction of a sewer. He al lowed the use ot his name to have the status of affairs legally determined. An action of assumpsit was brought against him early In the day by tho city of Scranton for the benefit ot Vin cent O'Hara, the contractor. City Solicitor Vosburg represented the city, and Attorney I. H. Burns appeared for Mr. O'Hara. Attorney M. J. Martin appeared for Mr. Smith. Immediately after the suit was be gun, Mr. Martin for defendant accept ed service and agreed to the "ease stated." Tho facts are not disputed. All the parties signed a waiver al lowing Judge Gunster to hand the de cision down In vacation. Without thnt waiver ho could not hand down his do clslon till court shall moot in August. An opinion Is expected In a week or so. If the Judge shall decide that ac tions In assumpsit can bo brought and tho amount of tho sewer assessment collected, Contractor O'Hara will pro ceed with the work of constructing the sewer.

POSSIBILITY OF A SETTLEMENT BUILDERS' EXCHANE MAY TAKE ACTION TONIGHT. Tho Woodworkers' Union Held a Meeting Last Night and Decided to Bury tho Hatchet with tho Building Trades' Council A. C. Catterniull Has Not Yet Returned from Philadelphia What T. I. Kldtt Has to Say About the Situa tion as He Sees It. It Is definitely understood that tho strike situation will bo thoroughly dis cussed at tonight's meeting of the Builders' Exchange. Those who nro In a position to know, state that a proposal for a compromise will bo Introduced by some of the mem bers and It Is thought by many that tho Exchange will take somo definite action regarding tho present trouble. The Woodworkers' union held a meet ing lnst night and unanimously de cided to bury tho hatchet with tho Building Trades Council. At the meeting of tho union held on Saturday evening a committeo was ap pointed to confer with the council and Und out the feeling of that body In re gard to reconciliation. Tho committee delivered Its report last evening and It proved to be very favorable. Tho union elected delegates to tho council and these will bo present at tho meeting of that body to be held tomorrow evening. WILL NOT QUIT. The union further decided not to quit work this morning, ns they desire to give their employes plenty of time In which to consider the question, A. C. Cnttermull had not returned from 1'hllndclphln at an early hour this morning nnd it Is not probable that lie will reach the titv much before noon today. He will certainly arrive In tho city today some time and If the mem bers of the Exchange deslro his pres ence at tho meeting he will bo ready to appear. T. I. Kldd secretary of the National Wood Workers Association, was seen by a Tribune man at a late hour last night nnd made a short statement In rcgaul to the situation. He said: "I was present at and nddrcsscd the meeting of the wood workers this even ing and I am very glad that the breach between them and the Building Trades Council Is satisfactorily healed. The general outlook I must say is more hopeful for tho strklers than It has been yet and I am almost sure that tho membera of the Exchange will decide L act wisely nt their meeting this morning. HAD CONFERENCES. "I had extended conferences with seevrnl of the leading members of the Exchange today and they all appear to bo desirous of effecting somo sort of a compromise or at least to hold a conference with the men." There can bo nothing definite learned about the results of yesterday's meet meeting of the carpenters' national executive committee until the arrival of Mr. Cattcrmull. Tho strikers yester day, however, were very sanguine ns regards tho result of the projected ap peal to tho American Federation of Labor. MR. FREEMAN HAS RESIGNED.

Burglars Entered tho Ofllco-of That Firm Sunday Night. Burglars entered the offlco of Price & Ilowartli's lumber yords on Sun dny night nnd ransacked two safes. but secured only $5 In money, tho larger part ot It being In old coins, valuable more for their numismatic than for their Intrinsic worth. A bizarre feature of the affair was that the safes were both open and were placarded with signs hearing tho legend: "This safe Is not locked." The members of tho firm took this pre caution to prevent the saftn from be ing blown open and Injured, as there Is never anything ot any vnluo kept In them. Tho men were evidently nov ices nt tho business, for some of tho smaller drawers Inside were broken open as It a hammer had been used, where the professional safe-men could have opened them without that trou ble. Entrance wns effected by one of the windows. The case been been referred to Detective Molr nnd If any of tho old coins nro passed the amateur bur glars may soon bo languishing behind prison bars.
