The ALLEGHENY COUNTY (PA) TAx.-At an
adjourned meeting Of the tax convention, held at
Pittsburg OH Monday, the county was generally
represented. The committee on investigations
reported among others the following resolutions :.
]. That while we declare the conviction that
the county Of Alleg ieny and the cities of Pitts
burg and Allegheny are willing and able to pay
every dollar OF their honest and legal indebted
ness, 1t is the duty of the people to avail them
selves of the legal investigation challenged bv
the county commissioners and railroad directors
and thoroughly to investigate the conduct of thes.
officials in issues of railroad bonds warrants for
payments Of railroad interests, and recent news
paper and public actions aud the legality Of the
taxes now proposed to.be assessed for these pur-
poses.
2. 1t is recommended that measures be taken
to bring about transfer Of the stock held by the
county in all railroad companies to which she has
subscribed, to all the holders of the bonds that
have been issued for the said stock or to trustees
for the benefit of said holders and until the same
he effected, the right to control the said stock,
and vote upon the same, be taken from the com
missloners and vested in the judges Of the several
courts in the county. =
3. We recommend an entire divorce between
the county commissioners, and the railroad COM
panies or others in their employ, be made direc-
MES.
Considerable discussion and excitement ensued.
during which resolution protesting against paw.
ing such tax, and substitute protesting against
repudiation, and asserting that the tax PAYERS
were bound in honor and good faith to meet
promptly all responsibilities incurred by the le-
gal acts OF the commissioners, were both laid on
the table.
