CIVIL COURT.
A jury in civil court rendered a
verdict for the plaintiff in the Sherg
iff’s interpleader proceedings of P.
A. Johns, of Uniontown, against
the Pitner Gas Light Co. In 191],
Johns was the lessee of the Hotel Van-
ner, Somerset. The defendant sold
a lighting system to Ferd L. Sny-
der, John’s manager, which the ho-
tel people claimed was entirely un-
satisfactory. The light company
brought suit against Snyder and
Johns instituted interpleader pro-
ceedings.
In the suit of Matilda Cook, of
Meyersdale, against Christian Sides
a jury returned a verdict of $48 for
the plaintiff. A settlement was ef-
fected in & suit in which the same
plaintiff sued Harry Ryla-d.
The assumpsit action of Frank W.
Muncy, a Pittsburgh, detecting
against T. W. Gurley, of Meyersdale,
was continued.
On petition of citizens of Black
township, Judge Ruppel has award-
ed a rule on the road supervisors of
that township to show cause why the
tax levy of 20 mills for road pur-
poses should not be reduced to ten
mills. The rule is returnable on the
19th inst. The supervisors of Black
township are Jacob H. Miller, Sam-
uel Bittner, and Harrison Bittner.
Some time ago the supervisors
had the court make a decree per-
mitting them to make a levy of
30 mills instead of 10 mills which
had been the customary rate of the
township. They assigned as reasons
for the customary rate for the town-
ship. They assigned as reasons for
the increase the tacts that the as-
sessed valuation of the district is
$242,978, that the ten-mill rate for
1913, would bring in only $2,460. and
that the township’s indebtedness is
$2,790.35, all of whi h except $195.38
is for burrowed money They con-
tended ti:ai nearly all the money to
be realiz-d from a ten-mill levy
would be uceded for road work this
year, le..ing nothing to pay off
the dri. vict’s indebtedness, for
which tiicy wanted the ten mills
additional millage
The present petitioners who will
be given a4 hearing on April 19th
claim that 20 mills road tax is un-
neces a'y and oppressive. They
submit as matters for the court’s
consideration that the township aud-
itors report for 1912, shows a bal-

| islate through the initiative, referen-
| dum and recall.
18. Government by commission for
| ciites.
| 19. Legislation for the . proposed
| Lake Erie ship canal, and improve-
| ment of the port of Philadelphia.
It is likely that, in the end, most
of these reforms will get through the
house, but it is just as likely, also,
far done—or rather not done.
