HATTON LOT
AGAIN BOUGHT
THIS TIME THE BOARD WILL
PAY ?3,000 FOB IT.
Some Months Ago the Board Decid
ed to .Pny 84,500 for tho Property
but the Warrant Wb Held Up.
Slto for Now No. 8 Purchased for
810,000 Architect B. T. Lacey
Will Draw tho Plans for the New
Building: To Observe Flag Day.
There was much talk nbout economy
and the necessity of keeping down ex
penses nt last night's meeting of tho
school board and a lengthy meeting was
the result.
Tho purchase of the Hatton lot ad
joining No. 23 school was again
brought up by II. J. O'AInlley and nf
tcr a good dcnl of tulle and a declara
tion against the purchase by W. II.
Christmas, the controller from tho
ward, It was decided by the following
vote to buy tho property for $3,G00:
For O'Mullcy, Murphy. Iloche, Welsh,
rtoblnson, Walsh, Jennings, Sohrlefcr,
Pelf, aibbons-10.
Against Christmas, Kynon, Phillips,
llnud, Jnyue, Kvans, Leonard 7.
This property was originally pur
chased by the board for $4,500, but the
board decided tho price was too high
and Iho warrant to pay for It was held
up pending Investigation, Hatton
agreed to reduce the price to $3,500 and
last night the board by the vote given
above, 10 to 7, decided to buy it. It Is
questionable If the property Is yet pur
chased for tho reason that It requires
eleven votes, a majority of the mem
bers, to buy properly. It Is contended
by some that this was not an actual
purchase, since that was- done before,
this being merely a fixing of the price.
The purchase of a new site for No. 8,
diagonally across Cedar avenue from
the present building, for $16,000, was
recommended by the building commit
tee and after a dozen or more speeches
the recommendation was approved.
The lots have a frontage of 130 feet nnd
a depth of 190, B. T. Lacey was em
powered to draw tho plans for an eight
room building to occupy the site. Tho
finance committee presented the fol
lowing report and It was adopted:

To tho President and Members of the
Hoard of Control.
Gentlemen: Tho finance committee beg
leave to submit tho following report:
Wo hnvo gono over tho estimates pre
sented by tho several committees of tho
board, and have given them earful con
sideration. Wherever possiblo wo ha-o
reduced these estimates, and bellcvo tho
appropriations wo recommend aro tho
lowest sums with which tho various com
mittees can properly carry on their work.
In tho matter of purchasing sites, tho
erection of now buildings, and permanent
Improvements which become a part of tho
buildings, wo consider that tho exponso
should bo ns equally distributed as can
bo through n number of years in order
that tho burden of taxation should not bo
unduly heavy In any ono year. Wo there
fore recommend that, when tho board
shall have determined the amount which
will be required for building purposes for
the ensuing year, a sufficient amount of
long term bonds lio issued to meet tho
cost of said permanent improvements.
SINKING FUND.
To pny tho Interest on outstanding
muds, and to provido for their redemp
tion at maturity, as required by law, tho
sum nf Sll.CUO will bo required. A levy
of sixty-three hundredths of a mill on tho

tho required amount.

THE DEFICIENCY.
It Is also estimated that there will bo a
deficiency of 23.WW or more at tho cud

cipally caused by a larger cxpondituro lor
building, purposes than was anticipated;
also by largo exonerations on exempt
properties, such as tho county Jail und a
number of othor public buildings.
Adding to this sum tho amount 10
qulred for sinking fund purposes, nnd wo

pally caused by 11 larger expenditure for

tion of this doflclcney cnn bo mot with tho
estimated surplus shown abovo; and that

Wright Lowry against George Thacher
was called. Lowry has a farm at Green
Grove, and he said he sold a cow and
a quantity of produce to Thacher, all of
which was valued at $10. There was no

ant, and a verdict for $61.13, tho full
amount of tho claim with Interest, was
returned In favor of Lowry.
Daniel Holland wns the plaintiff in an
action in replevin against Constable W.
S. Barllett and Attorney John F. Mur
phy, which was next called before
Judge Nowcomb. Holland's contention
was that a large quantity of household
goods owned by him and used by him
in a building at Old Forge were sold
as tho property of his brother, John M.
Holland. He was represented by At
torney John H. Bonner, and the defend
ants by Attorneys James E. "Watklns
and John F. Murphy. After the case
had been on trial for a time It appeared
that Holland's remedy was in an ac
tion in trespass and not replevin, and
a juror was drawn and the case con
tinued. BEFORE JUDGE WEAN'D.
Tho only case called before Judge
Wound was that of O, B. Partridge,
assignee, against F. H. Upton. Upton
was the manager of the Imperial Stain,
Faint and Filler company, of which the
defendant Is assignee, and it Is alleged
he Is Indebted to tho company In a sum
amounting to $1,740.42. Thero was no
nppearance upon tho part of the de
fendant, and a verdict of $1,740.42 In
favor of the Dlalntiff was returned.
In court room No. 2, before Judge Mc
Clure, the trespass case. of Mrs. Mar
garet Thomas against the Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western Rail
road company was put on trial yester
day. Mrs, Thomas' husband, C. J.
Thomas, was tho engineer of an Ice
train that ran nway on tho Pocono
mountain on July 12, 1000. Ho wus
killed In the wreck which resulted, near
the bottom of the mountain, when the
runaway train crashed Into a train
which was ahead of It. Mrs. Thomas
has two children, nnd sho sues to re
cover damages In the sum of $50,000.
Sho Is represented by Attorneys C. E.
Olvor and I, II. Burns, nnd tho com
pany by Attorneys Everett Warren und
O. P. O'Malley.
Tho wrecked train was a "wild cat"
going south from Oouldsboro. Tho
plaintiff's contention Is that tho curs
wero old and tho air-brakes not in c-ood
order nnd because of this tho heavy
train could not be controlled on the
down grade. The witnesses examined
yesterday were tjjo widow, Mrs. Thorn
as, and Theodore Stevens, tho head
brnkeman, who gave a very graphic de
scription of tho terrible rldo down tho
mountain side after tho engineer had
lost control of the train. Stevens said
that nt tho top of tho mountain tho
train stopped and a bad pleco of nlr
brako hose was taken out. When the
train was reodv to resume Its course
Engineer Thomas tried tho air, said It
was right, und tho rldo to death down
the mountain began. The cuso will bo
resumed this morning.
