The finance committee submitted the fol.
lowing report In writing: Your finance
committee submits Us report to date. Wo
have no further report,to make in reference
to the account of Tax Collector Scaolan, since
tne last report, as no payments have since
been made, which showed his total Indebt-
eaness to bo $20,048.89. Tho sontroversy
over nnai settlement and amount due is in
tlie bands of the court. Your committee
met Tax Collector Burke on the 1st inst. aud
cuected a sixty-day settlement on his 1803
duplicate, which wo submit as follows:
Total amount of duplicate, $32,031.87.
Credits cash, January 5, 1899, $11,000; cash,

2 per cent commission. $108.10; total, $21,
4S2.27; balance, $10,002.00. Mr. Burko's 1807
duplicate, at tho sixty-day settlement made
by a former finance committee, shows a bal
ance of $12,539.30. Since then he has made
payments amounting to $4,420.51, with com
niissiou added, makes his balance due $7,
997.83. From this amount is to bo deducted
exonerations estimated at $2,433.43, and
double assessments and reduced valuations
amounting to about $900. This leaves an ap
proximate balauco due tho borough on the
1897 duplicate, of $4,661.40. Whater Super
intendent Bell has paid to tho Treasurer
during the present fiscal year a total of $10.
220. Estimating the water duplicate at 13..
000 leaves outstanding water rents amouut-
ng to $2,780. Thero was a balance due on
uncollected water rents of $371.88, when Mr,
Bell assumed office. A summary of tho
above shows : Duo from M. J. Scanlau.
$29,OtS.S9; due from Edward Burke, $15,267;
due from Superintendent Bell (estimated)
$2,780; total, $17,095.89. Mr. Burke, the
present collector, says he will be prepared to
make final settlement on his 1897 duplicate
during the year and as soon as Council acts on
the exoneration lists now in tbeir hands.
Respectfully submitted,
