Special to The Scranton Tribune.
Towanda, Oct. 3. Exceptions were
filed yesterday by tho attorneys of ex

peal case. There are two documents,
one leaning on the whole case, signed
by all the attorneys: tho other deals
with the Items affecting the new court
house architects, Lehman & Schmltt,

erred In blending the decision of the
appeal of Horton, Wolf and Green,
filed April 22. 1S97, and the issues raised
thereby with the appeal of the tax
payers, etc., filed May' 13, 1897.

the surcharging us excessive and un
authorized Items, which amount to
$.1,642.23. and the architect's bills,

sioners hud no authority to make con
tracts for tfie granite, marble and mo

that the law cases will make about
