The school Levy.
To the Editor Of the Register.
SIR-In yesterdays REGISTER a gentle
man is quoted as saying that the schoo
levy ought to be made this month, or l
could not be legally assessed. To thl
statement there is important contradiction.
proof that it will not hold good. No lev.
can be made until the expenses Of the neV
school year are estimated. This cannot b.
done until the regular meeting in July, o
as soon thereafter as practicable; 80 tina
July may have expired before tn
necessary data is obtained to de
termine the levy. The school lev,
to the writer's certain knowledge ha
not been made in July in the past eigh
years, simply because it was impracticible
and yet no objection has been made to 1t
legal assessment and collection.
However, it is important that the Board o
Education make the levy at its earliest prac
ticable convenience, so that the collecting
officer may get his bills in shape at tn
same time the city lax bills are ready.

10 ne Editor Of The Register:
SIR:-I noticed in the DAILY REGIsTE
If to-day, among the Bellaire items, the to-
loving:
The B., Z. & c. engine that was held b,
he Pittsburg Forge and Iron Company, Il
compensate for a judgement held BY tina
company against the norrow-guage, was re
leased again yesterday, the claim havin!
been satisfactorily adjusted by Presiden
Mooney
The Bellaire correspondent is mistaken
President Mooney did net have anything t,
do with the release of Improperly levied OIL
by the Pittsburg Iron and Forge Company
and was East at the time it was done.
The levy was released at the suit of tn
Farmers Loan and Trust Company, of New
York, in which suit Judge Kelly allowed al
injunction, epjoinipg the Sheriff from seiz
ing and holding or selling any OF tn
property included in the mortgage to tn
bondholders. / would not have noticed tn,
mistake, but for the fact hat other creditors
of the railroad might think that all the.
have to do to ecure their claims is to lev!
upon and tie up q locomotive, or some othe
rolling stock OF the company, which unde
this decision they have no right to do.
