CITY HALL FINANCES.
Everyone Squeezed Into the Appropris
tion Except MIR. Broome.

Everyone Squeezed Into the Appropria-
tion Except Mr.. Broome.
The City Hall Commissioners met this
morning and owing to the unavoidable
absence of Corporation Council Edwards
nothing definite was done. The most
perplexing problem the Commissioners
had to deal with was the arrange menG
of some satisfactory scheme whereby all
the provisions OF the law governing the
appropriation OF money for the work
could be complied with. The Commits
sioners had, all told, $263, 400 Mr.. Q. A.
Bouton's bid was $249, 600 and Patrick
ConRolly's for pilling $1,000, making
$258, 600. This left but $1,000 and the
salary of the Commissioners and Clerk
for the fifteen months required TO COM
plete the work is S. 7C0. This exceeded
the appropriation $l,700 already with no
provision for an inspector or the archi-
tect's fees.
Mr.. Bouton appeared before the Com
mission this morning. and offered to re-
duce his bid $4,000, il the members
would consent TO doing away with the
two wings in the rear which were in
tended merely to shut the occupants of
the Hall from looking into the rear yards
of the houses facing Grove street. Archi-
tect Broome said these wings could be
dispensed with if a little extra pihng was
done Mr.. Bouton thereupon guaranteed
to pay Mr.. Connolly $3.50 for the extra
piiing. This virtually reduced Mr.. Bou-
toms bid $l2.50O making it S236, $50, so.
after the contractors are paid. there will
remain Sl7, ,665. which is sufficient sum
to pay the Inspector and Commissioners.
Architect Broome, who is some
what anxious to have the
building begun, then informed the
Commission than he would take his
chances on getting his fees of s12, 500. He
maintains that there is no provision il the
law which says that the architects fees
should be paid from the original appro-
priation.
The Commissioners look fayorably up
on Mr.. Bonton's bid.

"The first number indicates that the

they should. Reynoldsville is one of the
largest and best towns in the county,
and there is plenty of room for two good
papers there. There is no better way to
help your town than to sustain your
home newspapers, for good newspapers
are the soul of live town. They
attract enterprises to it and bring trade
to the merchants. They set forth its
advantages, and induce people to become
residents. BY helping your local news
papers you help yourself, and it is your
duty to support them."

The location of school building is

people are, or should be, interest
ed, they should now have their say
and then hold their peace. The
old Sandy Lick property is one

back of the Catholic church, is another.
We would venture wager that eight
tenths of the tax payers would say let
us have the present location with its
disadvantages to either Of the proposed
ones with their miasmatic surroundings.
To the south Of these the town cannot
extend on account of swamp and water.
To the north of the present location
every advantage is now open for build
