The New Music Hall.

Music Hall is about completed. The
new building is 42x90 feet, fronting on
Bank street it extends along Iron almost to
Cherry Alley. The building is large and
commodious, well suited for the purpose
designed. On the first floor are two capaci-
Gus store rooms-the one on the south
corner being occupied by |. S. Koch's cigar
mandatory. Music Hail. on the second
floor, has a seating capacity of over six
hundred, including the gallery The in
terror is beautifully and artstica!ly frescoed
gold, pale blue and cream on a back
ground of red tint-a combination of colors
that harmonize with good effect. The
stage scenery represents woodland scenes
&C., &C., and is well calculated to meet the
wants of drama or opera. On the drop
curtain is the birthplace of George Wash
ington, in all its rustic antiquity and beau
ty. Music Hall was erected at cost of
$4,000 and is unquestionably one of the
finest places of amusement in the Lenigh
Vail ey, and reflects much credit on Daniel
Wieand and the borough of Lehighton. 1t
is expected that the hall will be formally
opened during this month.

The Lehigh Valley Tax Case.

In pursuance of an act of the Legislature
of 1879, Auditor General Norris assessed
the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company $25,
066,03 on the gross receipts of the COM
panY for six months, ending June 80 of the
year 1886, being at the rate of eight-tenths
of one per cent. This tax was calculated
upon the statement of the company as
filed with the State authorities. The mon
ey was not paid and on November %, 1887,
the Auditor-General caused judgment for
the full amout to be entered against tho
company in the Prothonotary's Office in
Phila. The Lehigh Valley refuse TO pay
the tax because it doubted the constitution
ality of the act of 1879 imposing it. Judges
Finletter, Gordon and Reed Monday de-
cided that the judgment had been improp-
erly entered, and ordered it to be stricken
off the record.
