101 BOARD HITS,
The Members Spend Some Time
in Discussing Exonerations
From Taxes.
VIEWS PLAINLY STATED !
THE PERPLEXING SITUATIONS THE
BOARD IS PUT IN BY SOME OF
THE APPLICANTS.
People WUo Can Aflord to Pay Apply
for Exoneration Simply Because a
Neighbor Has Been Granted
Relief.
The School Board held a special meet
ing List night to consider the tax exonera
tion lists for 1-Q3 aud lfcOl. The dltectors
In attendance were Messrs. Conry, Lynch,
Himna, Devitt, Manley, Stanton, Daven
port, Morgan. Bau;h, Hooks, Lee.Trezlse,
Muldoon and Burke. The listsot the five
respective words were taken np eerintum
and the bonrd was allowed todtscups each
case about which there was any doubt,
During the consideration several men.'
bers freely ventilated their views on the
question of exonerating small property
holders. It was acknowledged by the
mem ours that this custom wan becoming
an evil and that some restrlc ion were
necessary. One member stated that it
was not fair to exonerate from taxes
widows who were deriving rents from
properties besides owning the properties
In which they reside. He argued it was
very true that these properties were not
very vnluable and that the revenues were
not very large, yet thete people were in a
better position to pay taxes than widows
who owned no property aud have children
to ralseand yet nro obliged to pay taxes.
Another member said the board was
tempted at times to exonerate no prop
erly-holder, notwithstanding the condl
tlon of the applicant, because lr was quite
evident that in many cases the board had
been Imposed upon; yet to adopt such n
policy would work a great, injustice upon
many worthy widows who occupy small
houses on leaded ground and had no
means of support other than that derived
iroui tne county.
It was also argued that the trouble had
Its uource In pure j alousy aud hypocrlcy.
Many people who apply for exoneration
do so simply because they ore widows aud
this or that widow has been exonerated.
These applicants do not compare their
actual condition with that of the people
who have been favored by the board.
More than this, some people have been
known to make the most piteous appeal"
for exoneration, on the supposition that
the School Board was not In a position to
know what amount and kind of property
the applicants owned.
After this discussion It Beemed to be the
sentiment of the board that all appltca
tlons for exonerations from taxes should
be carefully Investigated and allowances
will be made only in cases where the
applications are well founded, regardless
of any complaint that may follow. The
result of this will be that many property
holders who have been exonerated in the
past will no louger enjoy that privilege,
at least not under the present board.

HIRED DOUGHERTY'S HALL
THE PHOENIX HOSE COMPANY TO HAVE
A BUILDING WITH A WHITE
STONE FRONT.
It Is Expected the Structure Will be
Completed by Next Fall To
Cost About Seven Thous
and Dollars.
The United Evanel'cal Association of
town Is now engaged In making arrange
ments to vacate the church at the corner
of Cherry und West streets, under the
decision of the Pottsville court, glviuf;
the Bowmanltea rliiht to possession of the
property. The latter have not made a
formal demand for the propor'-y since the
decision, but It is expected a representa
tive will do so before the close of the
week.
In anticipation of this demand the
trustees of the congregation last night
hired Dougherty's hall, at the corner of
Jardln and Centre streets, as a place ot
worship and If the church building muB
be actually vacated this week the hoi.
will be used on Sunday for the regulai
services. Tonight the congregation will
meet in toe church to consider the change
uf locatlou arriuged by the trustees.
The members of the congregation art
very much pained by the result of th.
law suit. Some of them, especially thos,
who have attended worship in the church
for over twenty years, say that to vacate
theedidce is like leaving an old home
stead and it is particularly distressing to
be obliged to surrender the property
without a return of auy of the monej
they have put into its construction, re
pairs and improvements.
' Some of the trustees went dowu to
Pottsvllle yesterday to consult counsel
on the advisability of taking the case to
the Supreme Court, but It was decided
ibat nothing but delay could be gained
by such a course and the congregation
had better start in 'nt once to establlsl
Itself elsewhere.
