SXKRISBURG TELEGRAPH FIRST COAL REPORT STATE New Municipal Bureau Will Com mence at Once to Gather . Useful Statistics The first reports of \ W % //J Production of an i\\\ thracite coal have sSX\\ A gjv been received at the ? Auditor General's department under the provisions of the hard coal taxation i Hct of 191B > which iUjlllll ffl V requires a monthly report. No objec- tions have been to the require ments and it is expected that all pro ducers will file and allow the test of the constitutionality of the act to be started when attempts are made to collect the tax at the end of the year. The act of 11)13 is now in the Supreme Court, having- been presented early In the month. Preliminary steps to agree upon set tlements for tax under the act of 1913 for the production during 1914 and that portion of the year 1915 covered by the old act are now being taken, although it is not likely that any pay ments will be made until the decision is given in the test. The monthly anthracite reports are to be filed by the 20th of each month for the present. It is not known whether any test of the new act will be made by firms engaged In dredging coal from the rivers. To Establish New Work. —The first effort on the part of the State to gather statistics and data relative to the reve nues, expenditures, taxes, debt and other financial affairs of the munici palities of Pennsylvania Is to be under taken in a short time by the new bureau of municipal statistics of the Department of Labor and Industry. The data will be compiled and made available for reference as well as for use in state reports. Heretofore this work has been covered by the federal government. Spykcr May I .and. Samuel I. Spyker, Republican county chairman of Huntingdon county, is mentioned as likely to be named as one of the coun sel for the workmen's compensation bureau. Hearings Held. The protest of the Philadelphia milk dealers against the rate charged by the railroads for transportation of milk to that city was heard this afternoon by the Pub lic Service Comission. Hearings were also held to-day In the protest of the borough of Hamburg against the rates of the Hamburg Gas and Elec tric Company, the Lehigh fire brick case and the petition of the Baltimore and Philadelphia railroad for permis sion to cross the Chester and Darby turnpike In Eddystone at grade. New Justice. J. Albert Xander was to-day appointed justice of the peace of Upper Saucon township, Le high county, to succeed Albert E. Wrenn, who resigned when he was elected a member of the last legisla ture. Semimonthly Pay.—Checks for the first semimonthly pay were in course of preparation at the Treasury depart ment to-day. and it is the expectation that they will go out to-morrow. POIITICS IS REASON FOR GORGAS' ATTITUDE [Continued from First Page.] the river wall at Market street? As for not taking Mr. Gorgas' suggestions relative to the finan cial affairs of the city government, why doesn't he some? All he and the Mayor seem to have dene thus far has been to talk. Why don't they do something? I understand that Mr. Gorgas has even stamped city warrants with a rubber stamp of hit signature. Naturally by that * method he would not even be required to sign his name. In the statement of the con dition of the interceptor fund of the Board of Public Works sub mitted to Council this afternoon there is a balance available of $13,134.32. If Mr. Gorgas didn't know this he should know It. He's the super intendent of finance—"the watch dog of the treasury." What Gorgas Should Have Known In his statement to Council he said there was a balance in the river interceptor fund of $23,- 168.12. This would be true were it not for the fact that of that fund the retained percentage of $7,833.80 and incidentals for work done totaling $2,200 make a sum of $10,033.80 that must be de ducted. This is due Stucker Brothers Construction Company, and if Mr. Gorgas did not know, he should have knowh It, because he is one of the bondsmen. Furthermore', he knew of the percentage that was held back for the final estimate to be paid when the work is completed. Provision for this is made in the contract and an agreement was entered into with the construction com pany when plans were completed to go on with the work in Feb ruary. Certainly Mr. Gorgas knew this. He was present as one of the bondsmen when this agree ment was made with the Board of Public Works. Mr. Gorgas on the floor of Coun cil declared he knew nothing of any charges against the balance in the interceptor fund for money still due Stucker Brothers. This is odd because since the Council meeting I've been told that one of the members of the firm had asked him if any of the balance is avail able. City Not Hard Pressed As for the sum that has been awarded W. H. Opperman by the arbitration board, the city isn't being pressed for that. Charles H. Bergner, counsel for Opper man, told me nqt later than a few dayß ago that his clients will be satisfied if only $3,000 is paid on account and that they would be willing to wait for the rest of it And this could be done from the balance that would remain if the city continued the steps that will close the gap at Market street. The city could confess judgment for the balance. The report of the statement of the interceptor finances submitted to Council to-day sums up the sit- Quick, Painless Way to Remove Hairy Growths (Helpa to Beauty) Here Is a simple, unfailing way to rid the skin of objectionable hairs: With some powdered delatone and water make enough paste to cover the hairy surface, apply and \p about 2 minutes rub off, wash the skin and every trace of hair has vanished. This is quite harmless, but to avoid disappointment be sure to get the delatone in an original package. 9 || St We swing into the third week of this mammoth m MARK-DOWN fi| 1 H Clothing Sale i ' 'if Lets talk it over.

Instead of a balance of {23,168.12 tn the fund there ia really only $13,134.32 available. The estimated cost of building; the steps through the gap at Market street is $7,250. This leaves a bal- ' ance of $5,884.32. At any rate, the city would have to confess judgment for part of the money necessary to make up the arbitrators' award, because there isn't a sufficient sum left to pay the whole verdict—s2 2,767. And the Job Will Be Unfinished If the suggestion of Mayor Royal and Mr. Gorgas is carried out the river front improvement will lie as it is, unfinished, and the city would only have satisfied part of the arbitrators' award. So. you see. the whole attack la purely political. Commissioner Lynch pointed out that the attitude of Council on the whole matter had been supported by the legal opinion of City Solicitor D. S. Seitz. Council, he added, naturally followed the guidance of the city's legal adviser. The opinion upon which Mr. Lynch and the Board of Public Works have proceeded was written by E. C. Thompson, secretary of the board, and is ad follows: fiettz's Opinion July 8, 1916. Mr. Edwin C. Thompson, Secre tary Board of Public Works, Harrlsburg, Pa.: 1 Dear 8ir —Answering your In- quiry of 6th Instant relating to the completion of the steps through the gap at Market street under contract with Stucker Brothers Construction Company for the ' protective steps incident to the intercepting sewer along the Sus quehanna river, I beg to submit the following: Under all the circumstances stated, it Is my opinion that the board has authority to complete this work and apply the funds in hand to pay the cost thereof. The money was provided for this spe cific purpose and you are justified in expending It for that purpose. The arbitrators' award has not been reduced to Judgment as yet and provision for its payment can be made by Council in its next annual budget or by issuing bonds, as may be deemed proper, but that fact does not preclude you from furnishing the work with the funds now available for this particular Improvement. Yours very truly, D. S. SEITZ, Ctty Solicitor. The actual statement of the con dition of the river front interceptor fund as submitted to City Council this afternoon by Mr. Lynch was prepared by J. D. Justin, principal engineer in charge of the Improvement work. It follows: Intercepting Sewer Fund Mr. W. H. Lynch, Superintendent of Streets and Public Im provements, Harrlsburt, Pa.i JULY 20, 1915. Dear Sir —In accordance with your request X herewith present the following report in the con dition of the intercepting sewer fund. The figures presented are precise with the exception of those stated as "estimated." With re gard to these estimated figures, it may be stated that the writer con siders them ample for any prob able river condition at this season of the year. At the same ttme, he desires to point out that an unfore seen flood during the progress of the work would increase both the cost of the work at Market street and also the cost of engineering and supervision.- Amount retained from Stucker estimate of February Ist $5,864.90 Retained percentage this season 1,968.30 Total of retained per centage $7,833.80 For work done but on which no payment ha* been made, work in progress, force account . and Incidentals (esti mated) 2,200.00 Total owing ....... .$10,033.80 On hand to credit of in tercepting sewer fund, statement of July 15t.523,168.12 Deduct moneys now owing 10,033.80 Available balance in i fund $13,134.33 Cost of building steps through Market street gap and replac ing dock wall (estimated) ...$6,5&0 Engineering and supervision, in cluding comple tion of final es timate (esti mated) 750 Probable balance after completion of work $5,884.32 She Is a Wise Woman Who recognizes In the tell-tale symptoms such as baokache, head aches, dragging sensations, nervous ness and Irritability the true cause and relies on L,ydia E.
