SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
Freoland, Pa., August 30, 1899.
EDITOR TRIBUNE. —Tho street com
mittee of council on Monday evening
reported that there was an error in my
report. I can show the council and the
taxpayers that 1 do not overcharge
them and do not intend to rob tho
borough. The facts are as follows:
I was asked by tho assistant superin
tendent of G. B. Markle fc Co. to run
the stone crusher for about two days
and to turn in tho expense of my work
to Markle & Co. through council. I
asked permission of several coiiucilmon.
They intended to have a meeting on it,
but failed to do so. Five members then
gavo their consent and instructed me to
go ahead.
1 charged Markle & Co. $2 a day for
two days, Instead of $1.50 allowed by
tho borough. I havo not contracted
with council to give my services to
outsiders at tho same price paid by
council, but the street committee thinks
different and cut off $1 on this account.
1 also worked for the Electric Light
Company removing poles, through
orders from a member of council and
Superintendent Myers, with tho under
standing that the labor bill goes to the
Electric Light Company through coun
cil, samo as Marklc's bill. One man was
employed at the regular borough rate
for three days. For my time I charged
50 cents a day for three days, or $1.50
for the job. 1 was to receive $L and
the borough 50 conts of this sum. Tho
street committee cut off $1 on this
account.
I believe I am entitled to these two
amounts of $1 each. Tho* street com
mittee's report takes off not $2, but
$4.25. 1 worked 262 hours in June at
15 conts an hour. 1 want council to ex
plain for what reason I am allowed only
$35.25, when my report calls for $39.50,
without the $2 above mentioned.
The claim made by tho street coin
mittoo that other employes' accounts
wore overcharged is another misleading
statement. They reported that Timothy
Boylo was overpaid $2, John G. Davis
was overpaid 38 cents and Isaac Davis
was overpaid $2.50. 1 will state that
these men wore employed at paving
gutters. They were called "scabs" by
a councilman for working for $1.25 a
day, and then they stopped work and
refused to work unless they got a raise.
1 notified the street committco and
was told to turn in their time at $1.50 a
day while tlioy worked at that kind of
work. Now this street committee's re
port says 1 turned in too much for these
men.
This is what the street committee
claims are errors and overcharges. I
do not want any taxpayer to boliovo
that 1 am trying to defraud the borough
of one cent and I ain prepared to prove
every statement I make.

Street Commissioner Freoland Borough.

PRODUCTION OF COAL.
INTERESTING FIGURES COMPILED BY
THE BUREAU OF MINES.
Over 117,000,000 Tons Taken From
l'ennnylvuuiu CnllierioH In 1808, Near
ly r>3,000,000 Tons or Which Wan An
thracite—Number of Men Kmployed.
Tho annual report of tho bureau of
mines of Pennsylvania, just issued,
shows that 52,802,506 net tons of an
thracite coal were produced in the state
last year and 64,247,035 tons of bitu
minous, making an aggregate of 117,-
050,221 not tons, an increase as com
pared with that of the previous year of
0,794,923 tons.
The chief of the bureau says: "Coal
has become one of the essential ele
ments of modern civilization—in fact,
tho progress of tho civilization of a
country is now recorded by the amount
of coal obtainable and employed by the
inhabitants in a given time. It is pleas
ing to note the great increase in tho
production for the last decade and en
couraging to contemplate the possibil
ity of a still greater production in the
future of Pennsylvania coal. Increased
production necessitates deeper and
more expensive mines, requiring bettor
and more intelligent supervision than
over before, and this is ono step in
mining progress which, being neither
sudden nor conspicuous, escapes gen
eral notice, but which is fraught with
important results."
Tho number of persons employed in
the anthracite mines last year was
142,420; 7,137 less than tho previous
year. In the bituminous mines there
wore employed last year 87,802 persons,
an increase of 1,319. During the year
2,232 accidents occurred, of which 809
were fatal. Forty-one per cent of the
fatal accidents are attributable to care
lessness or violations of the mine laws
by tho victims, tho chief of tho bureau
states. Forty-three per cent of tho
non-fatal accidents is charged to the
same cause.
In addition to the enforcement of tho
present mining laws, tho chief suggests
that tho carrying of Inciter matches,
playing with signals, riding on cars,
opening boxes of explosives in proximity
to a lamp or pipe, and the shortening of
fuse or its saturation with oil should
subject the guilty person to punishment,
whether or not tho act is followed by an
accident. Failure • to properly place
timber should also be punishable.
"Certainly," says the chief of the
bureau, "tho class of legislation pro
posed is no more of an invasion of
private rights than was tho original
law an invasion of property rights."
lie finds fault because many of the
mines are not managed as well as they
ought to bo.
This, ho says, is due to an utter dis
regard of the laws and the lack of
mining knowledge in those who own
and superintend them, coupled with a
ponny-wiso and pound-foolish system
that invariably leads to bad develop
ment, with all its accompanying evils,
insufficient ventilation, dirty roads,
poor drainage, inability to procure tho
greatest possible percentage, of coal,
and failure to furnish at tho proper
time sufficient supplies for use in tho
mines, to which tho cause of many
accidents may be attributed.
The mine boss and the superintend
ent, says the chief of the bureau of
mines, should be held responsible for
the detection and punishment of mlno
violations.
Tho only counties producing anthra
cite coal are Luzerne, Schuylkill, Lack
awanna, Carbon, Columbia, Dauphin,
Northumberland, Sullivan, Susquehanna
and Wayne. Luzerne, Schuylkill and
Lackawanna supply about five-sixths of
the output.
The report says that "the prosperity
In the coal trade, judging from the pro
duction, applies wholly to bituminous
coal. Tho market for anthracite coal
has apparently reached its limit. \\\wv
it is considered that 148.4 was the aver
age number of days the mines in the
anthracite region worked it can readily
bo soon that there are more mines in op
eration and more men employed than are
nooded to supply the demand for anthra
cite coal."
Tho average number of days worked
in the bituminous mines was 208>£.

council was finished up on Monday
ovoning with all members present
except Messrs. Davis, Mulhearn and

it would not use the Public park on
Labor Day. Applications to use the
park on Saturday afternoon by the
Methodist Sunday school and on Satur
day evening by DcPierro's orchestra
were granted.
The streot committee reported that
all work in that line had been sus
pended owing to a lack of funds; that
some of tho employes had been overpaid
to tho extent of 89.13, which can be de
ducted from a future labor account, and
that a bill of $45.98 for use of stone
crusher bo sent to Marklo & Co. The
report was accepted.
The street commissioner was instruct
ed to start work on the sewer to give;
the Trimble property a connection, also
to start on other sewors as soon as pos
sible, and to purchase such supplies as
are necessary for the work.
The sanitary committee reported in
favor of notifying tho owner of the
Johnson property on North Centre street
to connect with the sewer or build a
cesspool without delay.
