DISCUSSING THE FARM QUESTION.

Mayor Gourley's Views of a Recent Inspec-
tion-Large and Costly Tracts Not Needed.
Discussion over the Poor Farm purchase
next Monday still goes on at City Hall and out
side OF that eGifce. Mayor Gourley was quoted
IN an evening paper yesterday as favoring not
any of the four farms which had been recon-
meuded by the Board of Awards to Councils
but the bravo farm. which is the lowest in
price OF those offered. and quite suitable for
the purpose in view. He continued:
From the first have held that it was ridicu-
lous tor the Board of Awards to do its work
properly within the time specified by fhe ordi.
lance-fve DAYS. In our tour of inspection we
were compellt TO hurry through onr work.
The only thing we could do was to go to a farm,
cl NIB TO some elevated portion of il, and view
the surrounding land. We did not have time
10 make careful examination OF the soil or
surface. or the land, and were thus prevented
from making our inspection of the various
tracts as thorough as it should have been done.
As have SAID, "ur tour of inspection was very
unsatisfactory to me. and do not hesitate To
say that would not recommend any one of the
farms We visited Without a further and thor
uuCh investigation. know if 1 was looking
for A farm for myself / would want to know
exactly what kind of land was buying"
Criticisms on the Giew farm and statements
tending TO establish the allegation that poll
Tlcians are interested in urging its selection,
were also renewed yesterday, Mr.. Beale. the
owner Of another of the competing farms,
being cited as expressing this view.
Among outsiders the opinion seems to pre-
vail hat there is no need for a large or expen-
sive tract. A prominent clergyman of the city
said to a reporter yesterday: Il don't think
much can be got by farming except by able
bodied and industrious labor. have seen some
model poorfarms throughout the country. and
the potatoes raised upon them cost almost as
much as Florida oranges"

BRIDGING MARKET STREET.

Proposition TO Utilize Old City Hall as
Market House-Buildings to Be Con-
nected by Covered Footways-Wonder-
full Increase in the Receipts.
The annual reports of the market houses
in the city were presented to Chief Bigelow
yesterday. The report from William Nc
Adams, who superintends the markets on the
north side of the river, is accompanied by
communication containing a number of sug-
gestlons made with view to improving the
markets under his charge, particularly the old
Diamond market
He suggests that Old City Hall be utilized as
market house, as he says there are large
number Of applicants for stands at all times,
and IL the old hall were fitted up with stalls
they could all be rented within a few days. In
that bridge 20 feet wide and covered with a
glass roof be erected to connect the second
floor of the eastbuilding with that of the west
building across Market street. Elevators 10
carry produce TO the second floor and new
pavement around the buildings are also recon-
mended.
MIR. Bigelow says the idea of Transforming the
Old City Hall into part OF the market is not
new, it having been considered at various
times during the past Is years. The reason IL
was never done was, first, because there were
so few large halls in the city, and, second, be-
cause there was a sentimental feeling against
the change on account of the associations con-
nected with the place. But Mr.. Bigelow is in
favor of making the change now, and it will
probably be carried out during the present
year. If street legislation is secured that will
permit carrying out the plan of widening Dla-
mond street and opening it through the mar
ket house, two bridges will probably be built,
one at each END of the building. but If the
street is not to be opened through single
bridge in the center will suffice.
The financial report shows a total of SIS. los 2
receipts from all the market houses of the city.
The estimated receipts made by the Finance
Committee last year was s5Q,000 The Diamond
Market yielded S44. 27S 50, including hall rents
and outside privileges; the Adams Market,
S53l 50; the Fifth Avenue Market House,
Si02 50: total s45 2l2 50 from the Northside mar
kets. The expense of conducting these. includ-
ing clerk, sweepers. constabies, ETC.. was
IS, $50 Is. There are l25 stalls in this market
which rent from S36 to 81 300 per wear.

IN NO HURRY TO BUY.
Councils May Not Select Any One Of
the Poor Farms offered.
REASONS FOR WAITING AWHILE.
Possibility That Owners May Concede
Something in Price.
CHEF ELLIeT'S POWER TO PURCHASE

Last night there was a rumor that none
ofthe poor farm sites recommended were
likely to be purchased.
Mayor Gourley was interviewed on the
snbject by a DISPATCH reporter and ad-
mitted there was possibility of such being
The case He said: ''Of course there is
possibility that none of the sites offered will
be selected by Councils. There is nothing
requiring them to take any of the farms
offered. 1, however, believe one of the four
tracts recommended will be selected. Still
the committee is not bound down to the four
farms. They can select any of the others.
I. myself, thought five or six of the farms
ought to have been recommended.
mo matter who makes the selection it
ought TO be made in busineSs-like way the
same as any private man would do if he
were buving a farm for himseli. The city is
not bound to take any farm at the price
offered 1t certainly has the right to say
what it will give. In this way believe 500 an
acre could be knocked off the prlce of most OF
them. If the owners OF the farms recommended
did not want to come down some of the others
could be tried. and In that way the city
could get poor farm at at least
reasonable figure / know that one of the
farms offered now at $500 per acre was pre-
sented some time ago for $500 per acre, and
also know that values have not increased to
that extent in SO short time"
Il would not be the least bit surprised if no
Poor Farm was purchased at present." said
Mr BiCelOw yesterday. I'm fact. heard state
ments made to-day by people who would likely
know Still. there Is a possibility that one of
she farms presented may be taken. However.
I personally think such large tracts are not a
good investment for the city, but plenty of
land seems necessity in the care of the insane
wards"
Chief Elliot only lau yhed when the question
was laid before him. Said he: i do not know
whether selection Will be made, but we will
have to buy farm some time, and might as
well do it nov. Still it is possible for Councils
10 reject all the offers"
The Chief was asked If he did not possess
enough power himself to purchase a farm
without the aid of the Department of Awards.
His reply was: Il do not know that l do. and
do not care to know. Neither Chief Bigelow
nor Chief Brown have to call in the Board of
: wards when they are buying lands for their
departments. but in purchase SO large as this
I would prefer to have the assistance of the
board and Councils"

WANT To SELL LIQUOR.

-Four Hundred Applications for License
From Allegheny City.
Allegheny has now about 50 saloons. How
many the License Judges will grant at its meet.
ing next month is the question that is not only
aGitating those who have licenses. but also
over 800 other people who want to get into the
saloon business.
Up TO the present there are all told about AGO
applications for licenses filed from across the
river. There is no reason given for their hope
but there is certainly idea among these
would-be tavern keepers that the Judges will
be more lenient than they were last year. They
contend that the number of saloons is not in
proportion to the population. The fear is
expressed however that as the majority of the
applicants want TO open places in the center of
the town. the Judges will consider that they
are too much punched and thus blight the
hopes of ma jority of them.

LAUGHING AT BROKEN LAWS.
Residents of Holden Street Want to Build a
Sewer Themselves.

sewer Themselves.
In spite of the fact that the Pittsburg street
laws are in a worse condition than some of the
streets. many of the citizens are willing to
remedy the latter without the assistance of any
law. At 10 o'clock this morning delegation of
the residents on Holden street will hold con-
ference with Chief Bigelow for the purpose of
having that theroughfare put in better condi-
tion.
A sewer was in course of construction on
Holden street when Judge Williams opinion
put stop to all work, and left the residents in
the mud. Now the property owners agree to
pay for the completion of the work. and will
sign personal contracts to that effect.
Chief Bigelow, however, is not so enthusiastic
He says he had an experience of that kind on
Penn avenue, and the Improvements cannot go
on at present unless the money is paid in ad-
vance.
