A DEBT IN THE WAY.


why Br.ddock Is Having Trouble in Sc
curing Enough Territory and Popula-
ton for a CIty-The Plan That Has
Been Adopted.
A large number of people in Braddock
would like to have the borough incorpor-
ated as a city of the third class, but in
order to do it they need more population
and want the township and several ad-
jacent towns to join them. Now, the idea
of city is not unpalatable to the town
ship people, but there are some prelimln-
aries they want settled first, and as the set
tlement is difficult Attorney Yost is in
clined to think the city charter Will not
soon be granted.
In the first place, he says the idea is to
have the outside towns incorporated into
borough before anything else is done, so
that they can have some say as to arranging
preliminaries. Braddock has gotten into
debt coo for improvements that did not
materialize: The people asked to affiliate
ments to pay her debt herself. But were TINS
provided for there still remains bone OF
contention. 1t is charged that some OF the
prospective annexationists have reacneu
out as far, or nearly as far, as Turtle Creek
for territory for the proposed borough, said
borough being the chrysalis from which the
city is to be Matched, and that the project
is degenerating into a wild real estate boom
which is intended to build bridges and build
costly streets to bring some spectators
lands into market at the expense OF TAX
payers. The controversy has reached
stage from which the next bound is e1-
pected to be into the courts.
Those who are getting ready to hight the
proposed borough say they will join in with
the project provided that only built-up terri
tory and that which will naturally build up
without extraneous assistance be included
within the proposed lines.

NEARLY ALL NAMED.
Last Nights Meetings About Closed
the List of Nominations.
THE WARD ASSESSORS INDORSED
And the Work of the City Board Denounced
by Republicans.
THE SITUATION ON THE sOUTHSIDE

The utmost interest continues to be taken
in the approaching municipal election
throughout the city. The principal meet
! iLgs have now been held, and the hustlers
are busy doing personal work for their
favorite candidates. The lines of battle
vary In nearly every ward, and the leaders
of the respective parties and organizations
are claiming everything with confidence.
The Republicans of the Eighth ward held
their suggestion meeting last night in the
Franklin school house. DR.. j. Guy Nc
Candless presided and William Angloch
acted as secretary. The candidates nomi-
mated, were: Select Council. John S. Lam
bic; Common Council, j. F. Geisenhaimer,
A. j. Pitcairn; School Director, Dr. ]. Guy
McCandless; Alderman, John White,
Reuben Miller, John Mckee.
Standing by the Ward Assessors.
When the nominations had been made
DR.. McCandless presented the following
resolutions, which were adopted:
Resolved, first, that we commend the ac-
tion of the ward assessors in assessing the
real estate in the ward at its actual cash
value, and in resisting all efforts to increase
it above that value.
Second, That the valuations of Eighth ward
real estate as made by the city assessors in
the trfennial assessment of 1889 we're suff1-
GENTLY high, and in many instances greatly
in excess of the value of the property. The
ward being already closely built up and
all available ground occupied and inn
proved, there is no demand for real es-
tate therein such as exists in other portions
of the city, and nothing has occurred to
increase values therein. The action of the
Board of Assessors, therefore, in making
general increase in the assessments is unjust
to the property owners and wholly unwar-
ranted by the existing state OF facts. We
call upon the Councilmen OF the ward to
present these views to the Board of Assess
ors, and to endeavor to secure more
equitable adjustment of assessments.
Too Much Money Being Spent.
Third, We view with alarm the con-
stantly increasing amount demanded and
appropriated for municipal purposes. In
large, growing, prosperous city such as ours,
reasonable increase in the amount re-
quired to run municipal government is to
be expected, but such increase should
be in proportion to the increase in
wealth and population, and we denounce
as wholly unwarranted and out of all pro-
portion the increase of the annual tax levy
from 81, 595 All, made in 1856 to S4, 464 $685. as
made i'll 1891, being an increase OF 81, ,S6g,57S in
five years, which latter sum, few years
ago, was sufficient for all purposes of muni-
cipal government, and we demand that the
Councilmen from the ward use every effort
to keep down the appropriations. Let all
necessary appropriations be made in I'D
eral spirit. but let the park appropriations
be made gradually rs the people are able to
bear them.

Increase of Telephone Earnings.

The result of the annual election of the
directors of the Central District and Print
ing Telegraph Company, held to-day, was
as follows: D. Leet Wilson, John E. Hudson,
c. Jay French, II. S. Huidekoper, George G.
Hall, James Merrihew C. o. Rowe, George
I. Whitney, John L. George. The annual
statement showed the company has "A GEN.
tral exchanges. 1876 main line stations and
140 branch line stations. There are 1920
miles of underground wires and 7.6l5 miles
of pole wires. The dividend last year was
10 per cent. The usual dividend was passed
this time, owing to the necessary rebuilding
of lines rendered useless by the construc-
tion OF electric railways and the erection of
arc lights. The earnings increased s1l ,499 %.
The company will move its office into the
new building April l, and the wires will be
moved by fall.

THEIR BLo0DLEss BATTLK
Citizen Soldiers Fighting for General Nc
CIelland's Shoes.

Clelland's Shoes.
General Wylie, of the Second Brigade, who
commanded the military arrangements at
the funeral OF the late General McCIelland,
returned to his home in Franklin last night.
General Wylie says he is heartily in favor of
Walter Greenland for Adjutant General,
and he believes Colonel Greenland can
bring to his support sufficient political
backing to satisfy the administration.
The fight for Adjutant General of the State
has already grown decidedly interesting.
Colonel Frank 1. Rutledge is the last candi-
date mentioned for the place. The officers
of the local regiments will meet tonight to
indorse Rutledge. Several petitions are cir
culating in his behalf. 1t is argued that the
appointment of Adjutant General
should be given to the Western end of the
State as the place was originally given to
Pittsburg. Rutledge will have the united
support of the Democracy OF Allegheny
county. He is the senior ranking officer
among the Democrats outside of the Gov
ernor's staff General Guthrie, who has been
spoken of for the place, announced yester-
day that he would not be candidate.
When General McClelland was appointed
by Governor Pattison there was decided
kick made by officers in the Guard. They
contended that the appointment belonged
in the Guard, and many of the disappointed
candidates threatened to disrupt the organi-
cation. Now they argue that the Governor
VIII endeavor to correct what they cons1d-
cred his former mistake.

POOR FARM OPENING.

Land in the County Seems to Be Cheaper
Than When Bids Were Received by
the City-The Figures Sent in on Rural
Appeals.
Between means and extremes it would
seem that there should be golden oppor-
tunity for the agrieulturist or someone else
in Plum township. Reference has already
been made to the Lee farm, which the city
could buy for $500 an acre, and which the
County Commissioners think is at least worth
4oper cent more than $50 an acre. Aglance at
SO aff1davits which Chief Clerk Siebert was
pigeon-holing let flood of light on the sub
ject and showed that by buying several
farms contiguous the Board Of Charities
might find room for operations at about $50
an acre. Some picked up at random from
the heap yielded the following results:
David Ross will take $50 an acre for 60 acres
without buildings. John Campbell will ac-
cept $50 an acre for his farm. H. Nj. Clements
saws s6l an acre will satisfy him.
him for 56 acres, buildings and all. Samuel
Donaldson thinks his 81 acres are not worth
more than SCI an acre. H. r. Wiskimmins,
assessed at $50 an acre on 60 acres, will take
81, 500, or $50 an acre for it. George Reiter
will take a fraction over $50 an acre Tor his
farm. The assessor valued the farm of
Daniel Clements, Sr., at $4,000. l7s acres.
The commissioners added 40 per cent,
and he SAYS he will take $4,000
for it. Sarah Niblock values
her farm at S. 500 and the assessor put it at
1895. George B. Alter values his lis acres
at IS, 600: the assessors valued it at $1,000 and
the commissioners at sl2, 600. James Mckin-
kins' assessment on 10 acres is $l60 060: the
commissioners valuation is 40 per cent more
than that and his is S1l, ,740
Among the So appellants are a few who re-
fuse to say what they would sell for. as they
saw they do not want to move, but they
unite in the general complaint. The matter
is looked at from very different angles. For
instance in Etna borough where the increase
was ITO per cent there were fewer appeals
than from some localities where no increase
was made and there was but only one ap-
peal from O'Hara township. A man came in
last evening to kick on the value of his occu-
patton being increased from $500 to $780, but
went away satisfied when he was told that
the tax on it would be but IS cents instead
of 30 cents as last year. 1t would seem that
the furry is likely to be All educational CAM
paign, so far as percentage is concerned, at
least
