AN IMPORTANT COMMUNICATION !
The Taxpayers' Association Gives the
School Board Tips on the Legality
and Illegality of Certain Measures-Exonerations
For
Mr. Soanlan Laid
Over.
The School Board held its first meeting of
the now year last night with Directors llauna,
Maitin, Mallck, Iiaugh, Dovo, Connors,
Ilreslln, Holvey, Sulllvsu, Dovlt. Whitaker,
Keiper and Brltt in attendance Tho read,
ing of minutes of preceding meetings and of
several communications occupied tho greater
portion of tho meeting. Ono interesting
communication was Jrcm the Taxpayers'
Association, In which ho Association seemed
to assume that tho last bond issue of tho
Scheol Board was not legal, because a
statement of the district's financial condition
ws not "led, as required by law, before tho
special election was held. Thero was on the
secretary's table, however, a communication
from the Clerk of the' Courts ofllco stating
that such a statement had been duly filed, so
that that part of the Taxpayers' Association
communication was given but slight atten
tion. Secretary Ilanua read a number of com
munications, among them aleugtby one from
W. G. Gregory, who wroto from a document
forwarded to hlra by W. L. Sheafer, of Potts
ville. Among other matters stated was that
a levy tor building purposes must be urcd
only for building purposes, aud not for the
payment of loans that have accumulated, un
less the board can show positively that such
money was expended for new buildings, or
the purchase of property. He doesn't think
there has been any such expense for the past
few years. Tho communication also gave the
School Board on the procedure to bo followed
in making a legal lovy of tax. Tho attention
of the Board was also ( ailed to tho payment
of Interest on school orders. This custom,
tho communication stated, is illegal aud has
been so ruled by tbo Supremo Court. "We
would suggest that, rather than Issue such
orders, you should authorize a temporary
loan of sufllcieut amount to cover such orders,
payable out of current taxes for the year."
The communication concluded with the state
ment that it was desired to assist the School
Board In reducing the exponses of the school
district and in straightening out tho entangled
condition of the district, "but do not waive
the right to compel the members of the Board
to strictly abide by the law." The com
munication was accepted and filed,
A communication from Couuty Superin
tendent Weiss, stating that his report to the
Board as to tbo attendances of Miss Burns
and Messrs. Creary and McHalo at tho county
institute was correct, was accepted and filed.
A communication from Mra. Michael
Cadden, asking for exoneration from taxes.
was referred to the exoneration committee,
attention being called to the fact that the
Boaru cannot exonerate real estate and mem.
bers should not bring in such requests.
Secretary Hanna reported having received
a list of the moneys collected at the collieries
of the P. & It. C. & I. Co. and turned over
to Tax Collector Burke under the alien tax
law. The amount was (4,874.20. Tbo list
was accepte'd and the secretary was in
structed to return tho thauks of the Board to
the company fur the paper.
The following report was submitted by
superintendent cooper; the otllce lias no
statistical report at present as the fifth month
of tho school term docs not closo until Jan.
10, 1899. The schools re-opened on Monday,
Jan. 2, after the Christmas vacation. Why
have schools on Jan. 2nd ? arose in the minds
of many of our patrons. The answer Is that
we may bo able to closo the term on I riday.
June 2, 1809, the last school day of the
present school year. Mr. Huber seems to
have found the defects in the new building
on White street, and we believe that ho has
removed tho troublo. The building was
qulto satisfactory during the cold days, -lion
day and Tuesday of this week.
S Q. M. Hollopeter, Esq., appeared in be
half of J. W. Stokes Lodge No. 515, I. O. O.
F stating that the lodge held (1,700 worth
of 4 per cent, school bonds and was required
to pay a tax of 4 mills ou them. He asked
that if tho Board is in the habit, when issu
ing bonds, of assuming the payment of the
state tax, that the lodge be dealt with in that
manner. The matter was referred to the
finance committee for Investigation.
The committee on building and repairs
presented a lengthy written report In which
it set forth that Mr. C. W. Uuber, represoa
tative of the Peck-Williamson heating aud
ventilating system, hud made changes which
brought about satisfactory results from the
apparatus In the new White street school
building. Mr. Huber said the fault rested
prlnclply with tho cold air supply. The
committee also reported having contracted
with the company for rocking grates for the
furnaces and the action of the committee was
endorsed.
The committee on exonerations pre
sented a report on tho exoneration list of
Tax Collector Burke, stating the lists had
been returned to hi in for a posting of the du
plicate showing the amount of collections
made at tho collieries. Q the request of
Mr, M, J. ScanUu for additional exonerations
ou the 1893 tax duplicate the committee re
ported that (2,150.87 had been asked. The
committee recommended that (1,878.05 be
allowed, lest nvo per cent, penalty.
Mr, Dove moved thut, owing to tho peculiar
condition of affairs now existing between
Mr. Scanlan, his sureties and the School
Board, action on the recommendation be
postponed. The motion was carried.
The following written report was submitted
by the Finance committee ;

rialtlmore, Jan. 5. The offer of $0
ft Rhnre made by the syndicate headed
by the banking house of John L. Will
iams & Sons, of Richmond. Vo., for
the pooled stock of the Seaboard and
Roanoke railroad, has been accepted by
all persons living In Baltimore who
have stock In the pool. Assurance
have been received that out of town
stockholders who signed the pooling
agreement will also accept, and the
necessary three-fourths assent under
the agreement will, It Is understood,
be really secured.
The offer of the syndicate to buy out
the company, and with It the control
of the thousand miles of railroad In
the Seaboard Air line system, Is one
of a number of offers for this property
In the past, three years. After Mr.
Thomas F. Ryan, of New York, made
his offer about two years ago to buy
the pooled stock at $125 a share an
other syndicate made an offer.
This second offer was the outcome of
the stubborn contest waged for the
ousting of the Hoffman management,
and the proposition came from a syn
dicate In which Baltimore merchants
were largely Interested. The offer was
partly Induced by the feeling held In
some quarters that the control of the
Seaboard Air line might fall Into tho
hands of the Southern railway or Its
allies unless secured by strong Influ
ences not Identified with any existing
southern system.
The big rate wnr which was the cul
mination of the disagreement between
the Southern and the Seaboard, and the I
subsequent litigation coming from the
Ryan syndicate In Its attempt to break
up the pool which held the control of
the system, kept things at a tension.
Criticism was shot at the management
for not accepting the offer of J125 a
share made by the Ryan syndicate, and
the claim that the property was worth
more was denied by some of the stock
holders signing the agreement.
Considerable Interest Is manifested
In the plans of the syndicate, which
Includes, In addition to Richmond and
Baltimore capitalists, a number of New
York men. It Is stated that the first
move will be to complete the construc
tion of the Richmond. Petersburg and
Carolina railroad from Richmond to
Rldgeway, N. C, where It meets the
Seaboard Air line. Some time ago
property was purchased In Richmond
to be used as terminals for this new
road. A connection with the Georgia
and Alabama will not. It Is said, be
a thing of the near future, although
the fact that the syndicate has a con
trolling Interest In that road will In
duce steps to connect the two prop
erties. It Is regarded as highly probable that
such a connection. If made, would be
built from Atlanta to Montgomery, as
these two cities are the western term-
Inls of the two systems. The most like
ly plan would be to build from some
point on the Georgia, Carolina and
Northern to Savannah, so as to secure
a direct route to that city. The Sea
board already has a direct route to At
lanta. A plan to establish a new di
rect line from the national capital to
Florida, by building Into Richmond
and securing a connection from there
to Washington, would take the road to
wards Savannah.
The Seaboard has been anxious for
some years to reach New Orleans, and
a connection Into Washington, made
by filling In the gap from Rldgeway,
N. C. to Richmond. Va., would put the
system in position to make satisfactory
terms for reaching the Crescent City.
There has been considerable talk In
the past of an alliance between the
Louisville and Nashville and the Sea
board Air line, and It Is believed that
such an ag-eement would quickly fol
low If the Seaboard was In a position
to furnish a satisfactory entrance to
Washington. There would be but lit
tle difficulty In arranging for through
enrs to Baltimore. Philadelphia and
New York from Washington.
