Can 1Mb Auditors Answer? Kditok II KKAi.n: During this season or refoim in town, as a taxpayor, I would like lo ask the Auditors a few questions for tho pnrposo of ascertaining whether the prosecu tions against tlio Coiincilnien aro for the public good, personal satisfaction, or for revenue only. If for tho former, then all good citizens should stand by tlio Auditors; if for either ot tho other reasons, then tlie sooner tho taxpayers understand the situa tion the better it will bo for all concerned Is it true thai the Auditors gave the printing of the annual report to a party charging fi.r, whilo they had a bid to do the same work for f IS V Is it true that tho Auditors, or any olio of them, charged two dollars in addition lo car faro for going to Pottsvillo to fllo tho annual statement when it was tho duty of the llorough Solicitor to do this work? If it is truo that such sum was charged will the' Auditors please quote tho Act of Assembly which permits them to chargo a per diem rate for work other than auditing, and forbids Couucilmen to chargo expenses for traveling in settling claims against tho borough? Is it truo that the bill for auditing tho past year's accounts is much larger than piovions bills for like wink, and if so, why? Is it truo that tho Auditors did tho auditing or did thoy have seme ono oKo to do it for them, promising to pay such someone" $3r,anu appended theirsignatiiies t an account thoy did not adjust? Is it truo tliat ono of tho Auditors complimented tlie School Hoard for their administration of economy, in faco of tho fact that tho said School Hoard had paid ?30 for writing the duplicate, (tho work of the Secretary of the bcliool Hoard), ?100 Tor an interpreter to ac company tho Assessors and $100 for tho Flvnn bower, and did any taxpayer notify any of tlio Auditors of the unlawfulness of tlicso items ? Is it true that the item or $100 for tho "Flynn sower" was included in "building and repairs," anil if so what ro lationshfV does the "Flynn sewer" bear to "buildings and repairs?" After the Auditors have replied to tho foregoing questions will they tell tho taxpayers whether, while audit ing tlio borough's accounts, they held star chamber sessions, or did thoy call for wit nesses, books and papers? Anil, finally, let mo whisper ono more question. Does vcur audit show tho indebtedness of Shenandoah boiough? If not, why not? Can you answer? When you go on tlio stand in Pottsvillo tho real taxpayers will be renio- scnted thero and then tho eyes of the public will bo opened to tho juggling methods of more of their servants than either Couucll men or School Directors.

The uiithracito coal trado presents littlo change.

There is uo longer any suggestion of advancing prices for September, as the old clicular is by no means maintained and cuts of 30 and 50 cents por ton at tidewater aro talked of. Theio is no agreement aniiuunced as to tlio Septomber output, but it is gonorally ex pected to be -1.000,000 tons, although some of tho companies dosiro it limited to D.MO.OOO tons, which, thoy say, will bo ample in the prosout condition of tho market, as milling more coal will simply givo an excuse for furtlior cutting of prices, For tho past tbreo years tho Septomber output has been about 4,000,000 tons.
