Stewart is represented by Attorneys W. G.
Cutler and w. ]. Johnston, of Uniontown.
Colonel Glenn, of Collier township, Justice Of

Attorney Bremen for examination. Colonel
Glenn's example was followed by other officials,
who said that Judge Fetterman had advised
them not to allow the inspection.
The afternoon. until o'clock, was spent over
the wrangle. Finally, on the advice of Robb

Klebers Take the Lead in Music, as Ever.

In addition to the numberless Steinway,
Conover and Opera pianos and other musical
instruments sold daily at this popular old
time establishment, the Messrs. Kleher have
also disposed of quite a number of Vocation
church organs. No one can have any idea
of the SURPRISING musical beauty and ex-
cellence of these wonderful Vocation organs
without having seen and heard them. At
the low price, $500, the Vocation furnishes
more variety. delicacy and strength of tone
than any So, 800 pipe organ, while for dura-
bIlity it far surpasses the latter.
Churches which desire first-class instru-
ment for public worship, and do not want to
souander thousands of dollars unnecessarily
in an ordi6arv pipe organ, are invited to
call at Klebers' Music Store and examine
these matchless Vocation organs. The
Klebers enjoy the confidence of the public
for their integrity and also Tor the superior
excellence of their instruments. Anything
that comes from Klebers' must necessarily
be musecally perfect and satisfactory. Their

TAXING STREET CARS.

Controller Morrow Thinks the City Should
Receive S25,OoO Year From This
Source-COmparison With Other Munic-
ipalities-An Ordinance to Be Prepared.
Controller Morrow, who has been consid-
ering TOR some time past the advisability of
taxing street car lines, yesterday sent the
following communication to Select Council:
OFFICE CITY CONTROLLER,
PITTsBURG, Jan. &c.
To the Select and Common Councils:
GENTLEMEN-I desire TO inform you that
the revenue of the city from tax or license on
street cars has dwindled to an insignificant
amount the receipts from that source for the
fiscal year just ending being less than $1,000,
anG for the year to come viii probably be even
less. AS the companies obtain franchises of
great value from the city, the present is a
proper time to impose some tax upon
them that will yield respectable income to the
City Treasury. Our tax has never been heavy
and its evasion by the companies is very unfair
TO the city. Formerly we obtained $50 to $50
per car from several roads and a tax on earh-
ings from others, but nearly all the old street
companies have leased their lines 10 traction
or motor companies, who now operate them
and who pay no tax or recompense whatever to
the city, on the ground that The continued ex-
istence of the companies lessor retains the OBJ
legation of tax upon them, but the companies
lessee, being separate corporations, have not
been required by proper authority to make any
payment
There is but one city in the United States. to
my knowledge, which imposes no tax upon
street car companies while in the cities men,
toned below the average rate of license per
car is $50. The requirement of different
cities in this respect vary much, but
JaX on cars, or upon earnings, or receipts seems
To be the more general method. From a com.
parison with other cities l think a revenue of
S25, 900 per year not too much to expect from
this source in a short time, nor can anyone dis
pute the right and duty of the city, as matter
of justice, to regard these highly favored cor
poraJions as proper subjects for the derivation
of a permanent revenue.
New York obtained Sl74 900 in the first wear
from her street car lines; st. Louis, S43 OuO;
Washington, d. C., SSS 600; Brooklyn SI7 600;
Louisville, $1,000; Chicago, SIS, 900; Milwaukee,
Sj1, 900; Buffalo, $1,000; Cleveland, $500; De-
troiJ, S24, 0O0 and Baltimore, $4,000 As a
means Of obviatIng any technical objections
that may be raised against the collection of a
license from all companies IN the CITY, would
suggest that an act of Assembly be at once
authorized to be prepared which will give
power TO all municipalities to properly tax
street car companies of any and every kind and
that the amount and character of tax be liked
by local authority
Respectfully submitted
L. s. MORROW, Controller.
The communication was referred to the Com
mittee on Corporations to prepare an ordi-
nance in accordance with the Controllers
