NEW ENGINE ACCEPTED.
It Will Be Placed in Service This
Morning Was Given Another
Test Yesterdny Afternoon.
The new llist-tiass Hie engine pur
chased by the city from the Ameilcnn
Flte l'nglne company was given a final
test yesterday nfteinoon on Wyoming'
nvenue, between Mulberry and Vine
stieets. The test wns eminently satis
factory, and nt Its conclusion Director
of Public Safety F. L. Wormser de
cided to nccept the engine, and It will
bo put into commission this morning.
Yestetdav's test was made with the
view of ascertaining bow fnr the en
gine enn throw n stream of water In
a horizontal direction. An nttnchtnetit
was made to the hydrant at the corner
of Mulberry street and IPO feet of hose
was laid to a point about one-third of
the length of the block. Several fire
men whip then srtntloned near Vine
stteet with n measuring tape. The
farthest point touched by the stream
was -marked and the distance between
It and the nnzle was measured.
With an Inch and a half no.le, ele
vated at an angle of about forty-five
degiees, the engine thicw a single
stieain Just 2S1 feet. The steam pies
sure iegsteied was 120 pounds, and the
water piessuie L'SO. The water pres
sure fiom the hydrant was foity-flve
pounds.
The test with a Siamese coupling was
not quite so successful, the distance
lecorded being only 259 feet, but the
stream was a much moie poweiful one
than the one whiili curled a gi eater
distance, the nozzle used being one and
three-quarter Inches in diameter. The
engine threw two sticsums, from Inch
nnd a half nozzles, a distance of 239
feet.
Supeiintendent H. F. Feiber said,
after the test, that be proposes at
taching the engine to one of the Lackn
wanna nvenue hydrants some morning
next week, before the stieet cars com
mence running, for the purpose of ns
cet tabling whether the water piessuie
In the Lackawanna avenue mains Is
sutlk lent to supply It with water.
The chief appears to be conlldent that
he can piove the water piessuie to be
moie than sufHclont.
"I want to make this test," said he
yesterday, "so that if the water pies
sure Is found to be sulllclent nnd we
hnve another big Ibe like that of last
February, the blame for Its spread can
be lnld nt my door and not laid on the
water pressure."
Permanent man D. J. Slowe. of the
Nay Aug company, will net ns engineer
of the new steamer, nnd John Kelly
will be stoker. Former Chief F W.
.lzelmnun ncted as engineer during
yesterday's tept. The engine wns built
In Cincinnati by te Ameilcan Fire En

DISTRICT WILL
MAKE A FIGHT
STRONG OPPOSITION TO PAYING
TAX ON BONDS.
School Controller Maintain That
State Hns No Right to Levy tho
Tax on Bonds Not Held in This
State State Authorities Claim
That the District Is Liable Be
cause It Assumed the Payment of
All Taxes on Whatever Bonds It
Floated.
It Is pioposed by the school board to
fight to a finish against the collection
of n state tux on tho school district
bonds. They claim the state has no
tight to Impose the tax, and If an at
tempt Is made to assume such a right,
the whole gamut of the courts will
be tun in an effort to pi event It. .
President John Gibbons and Solici
tor 1). J. Reedy waited on the county
commissioners yesterday, to enter a
formal appeal ftom the assessment.
The commlpisloneis declared they weie
unable to do anything In the matter,
ns they had received specific directions
from Hni llsbui'g to levy and collect
the tax.
A consultation was afterwatds held
at tho olllce of Solicitor Reedy, which
a number of the prominent members
of the board attended. No detlnlto
action was decided upon, but It was
tho sense of tho meting that the
board should let the state ptocced to
get Judgment, If It could, and If judg
ment wns scented to take nn appeal
and fight It In tho courts.
The state's giotind for assessing this
tux ngnlnst the school dlstilct N found
In tht fnct that the school board made
nn ngteetnent iissumlng all taxes as
sftseel against whatever bonds It Is
sued. The school boatd oppoes the tax on
t lie ground that only such bonds ns
ate held within the state ate subject
te n state tax, and, ns far as the board
knows, all of Its bonds, except what
f'W ate held In the sinking fund, nre
In the possession of partle- outside the
state, principally In New York nnd
Hoston. The bonds are paying a tax
In these other states and cannot be
l.ixtd in this .-Hale al-o.
'I the state can show that any of
the bonds are held In Pennsylvania,
the board will assume to pay the tax
c ii them. It will nlso pay a tax on the
bonds In the sinking fund. It does
not, however, propose to pay a tax on
bonds that are already being taxed
in New York and Massachusetts, or
possibly London and Pails.
The district has about $ir0,000 woith
of bonds outstanding, and some of
