In DEBT FOR THOUSANDS.

Official Figures in the Allegheny Street
| Railway Deficiencies - The Machinery
| Started to Make Controller Brown Col
Iect Every Cent-Work Mapped Out for
the Auditors.
AT the meeting of the sub-Auditing Com
mittee of Allegheny yesterday Auditors
| Mckirdy and Bigger submitted lengthy
| report on their examination of the books of
the street car lines. The report went into q
detailed explanation of the merging of the
different lines and the accumulation of
stocks, etc. The p. A. & NJ. books showed
that the company was indebted to the city
Sc, 5S4 so for car tax. This included all the
cars owned by the company as shown by
their report to the Auditor General They
also owed S.. .4SS S3 as tax on stock divi-
dends which had been declared. The total
amount owing to the city as shown by the
company's books according to the auditors,
is S15,0 ,073 73.
The Pleasant Valley books showed that
company on its main line was indebted to
the city to the amount of S11 ,965 "a, and
the tax on stock dividends amounts to S45,-
000 making the total amount S56, 965 81.
The report also called attention to the
fact that the repairs along the tracks in the
eastern district of the city, which the orci-
nance provided should be done by the street
car company, had to be done by the city.
Street Commissioner Moul, who was pres
ent, stated the Pleasant Valley Company
did not comply with the provisions of the
ordinance in lining its track with Ligonier
block and that work had to be done by the
city.
On motion of DR.. Gilliford the report was
recommended to the General Committee
with the request that resolution be sent
to Councils instructing the Controller to
send the different street car companies bills
for the amount claimed.
The auditors were instructed to take up
the books of the water department and then
audit the books of the street department,
the Controllers and Treasurer's Office in the
order named.
Mr. Henricks spoke of the Chief Murphy
case and asked City Solicitor Elphinstone
why the same procedure was not carried out
as in the cases against Mayors Wyman and
Pearson.
Mr. Elphinstone explained that the
reason was because Chief Murphy's Office
was under the control of Councils, and he
could be removed bv them. In the case of
the Mayor it was different. The committee
appointed by Common Council was merely
to assist him in looking up the evidence
and reporting to Councils as to whether
there was evidence enough to justify
charges, then Councils could order suit to
be entered. There being no further bust
ness the committee adjourned.

o'DoNEELL GAINS a POINT.

He Secures the Auditing Ordinance Re-
ferred TO His Committee.
The old question of an auditing commit
tee to look over the books of Pittsburg city
officials came up in Common when Mr.
O'Donnell offered the following resolution:
Resolved, BY Common Council, that the
Finance Committee be discharged from the
further consideration of an ordinance en-
titled an ordinance creating an auditing
committee and defining its duties and the
action of this council on said ordinance be
eHpunged from the record.
President Holiday ruled the portion re-
lating to the records out of order. The reso-
luton recalling the ordinance was then
adopted by a vote of Il ayes to u noes.
Mr.. O'DonneE then gravelv moved to
refer this ordinance to the Committee on
SURVEYS. He is Chairman of that commit
lee and as the members graspeG the situa-
tion thev broke out in a laugh.
Mr.. O'Donnell-This ordinance has been
before the Finance Committee six weeks
and nothing has been done. 1t looks as
though il will be smothered. l am in
earnest in the matter and want the ordi-
nance referred to a committee that will act
on it. This is an important matter and
there is demand for an auditing COM
mittee.
The Chair here called Mr. O'Donnen to
order, saving he could not discuss the
merits Of the ordinance, the question being
simply TO refer ii.
Mr. Magee-I move the rules be sus-
pended so that Mr.. O'Donnell can make his
argument on the ordinance, or a stump
speech on any other subject he chooses
The Ckair-That is out of order
Mr. O'Donnell-The law provides that an
ordinance must be considered by committee
and all / want is that the ordinance be sent
TO committee that will act.
Mr.. Magee-There has been a great deal
of talk about measures necessary for certain
Mayoralty candidates.; measures that must
be agitated or these candidates. might die.
The ordinance has now been taken from the
Finance Committee and the astounding
proposition is made to send it to the Survey
Committee, a committee erected for the
special purpose of opening new streets 1
would move, to test the merits of the bill,
that the ordinance be indefinitely postponed
Mr.. O'Donnell-The question of an audit
ing committee does not necessarily belong
to the Finance Committee Had that COM
mittee originated it then it would belong
there. The ordinance was originated bv a
member, and desire to say that the author
of this ordinance (myselD is not candi-
date for preterment at this time or in the
future. L am citizen and a TAXPAYER. in
Iefes1eo IN Ihe city welfare, and ask only
tnat the ordinance be sent to a committee
that will act on it.
Mr.. Flinn-The resolution recalling the
ordinance from the Finance Committee was
voted for by many who would have opposed
it had they known what motion was to fol-
low. 1t was slick piece of work, but per-
feetly legitimate. A refusal to act on the
ordinance is cowardly. 1t looks as if Coun-
ell was afraid of the ordinance
The ordinance was then referred to the
Surveys Committee by a vote OF Is to Z.

Remain quietly at home until all symp-
toms of the disease disappear, and then
when you go out have the body we'll clothed
and the feet we'll protected so that they
will remain dry and warm.
Take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as
directed for severe cold. If freely taken
as soon as the first symptoms of the disease
appear, it will greatly lessen the severity
of the attack, and its continued use will
prevent dangerous consequences, provided,
of course, that reasonably good care be
taken Of the general system and to avoid
exposure
For pain in the chest, which is very apt
to appear, saturate a flannel cloth with
ChamberIain's Pain Balm and bind it over
the seat of pain. It will relieve the pain
and perhaps prevent pneumonia.
This treatment was followed by many
thousands of persons and families during
the winter of 1889 and 1890, and was uni
formly successful. 1t greatly lessened the
severity of the attack and prevented
pneumonia or other dangerous conse-
Quences. TTSu

ALTERED THE BILL.
The Mayors Objection to the Will
kinsburg Traction Grant
BEINGS SATISFACTORY CHANGE.
His Veto Sustained by Unanimous Vote
for the First Time.
DOINGS OF A BRIEF COUNCIL SESSION

Mayor Gourley came off victor at yester.
days Council meeting. For the first time
during his term his veto of an ordinance
was unanimously sustained, while another
ordinance. to some of the features of which
he objected, was changed to suit his views.
The latter was the Williamsburg street
railway ordinance. The Mayor had serious
objections to this bill, and had decided to
veto it. But few minutes before Councils
convened the origlnatorS of the measure
agreed 10 introduce some amending features
to put it in shane satisfactory to His Honor.
The veto message was, therefore, not sent
TO Councils When Select got together. Mr.
Heating at once moved that the wilkins
burg street railway ordinance be recalled
from the Mayor, 1t was brought over, and
the Council went into committee of the
whole with Mr. Robertson in the chair
The ordinance in question granted the
Williamsburg line the right to extend its
tracks on Fifth avenue between Denniston
and Highland avenues to connect with the
Fifth avenue line. Mr.. Heating offered the
following amendment:
Provided that such track or tracks shall
be laid subject to the consent of the Pitts
burg, Oakland and East Liberty Passenger
Railway Company, the Central Transit Com
and that the same shall be relocated in ac-
cordance with the direction of the Chief of
the Department of Public Works on or be-
fore the 1st day of July, 1892; and provided
further that the Williamsburg Street Railway
Company shall file with the City Controller
within ten days of its approval an accept
ance of all the terms and conditions of this
ordinance, otherwise this ordinance to be
null and void.
The amendment was affirmatively recon-
mended and the committee arose. The or
dinsnce was then reported by Chairman
Robertson and was ordered printed for the
use of Councils
In Common Council President Holiday
read communication from the Mayor, in
which he vetoed the ordinance for the con-
struction of sewer on Oakland avenue and
through private property from Bates street
to Joncaire street. The Mayors reasons for
the veto were: That a sewer placed as this
is proposed would be of no use to nine
tenths of the property; the sewer on At
wood street was paid for by these property
owners and answers all purposes required;
but two property owners will be benefited,
but the natural presumption is that all of
them will be assessed. The Mayor did not
regard this as Just, these people having paid
one sewer assessment, he feared thai event.
uallv the city would have to pay the bill,
and held that the taxpayers have had a
surfeit of this kind of experience
Mr.. Brown moved that the veto be sus-
tanned The vote was taken in the Gus
tomary manner, F'Shall the bill become
law Notwithstanding the veto of the Mayor,
and Council decided unanimously that it
should not. Mr.. Shannon declined to vote.
