Carbon County VIII Begin Suit Against
Luxsrnc.

Carbon county Is going to begin suit
against Luzerne county for taxes paid
,n coal lands which are really in Car
,on. The line between Iuzerne and
Carbon is not as well defined as 1t
night be, and the payment Of the taxes
nto the treasury of Luzerne was mere
v mistake.
The commissioners of Luzerne coun-
" are waiting for their attorneys to
some home from their vacation to make
determined effort to make Lacka-
wanna county pay her Indebtedness to
Luzerne and in addition to that they
vii, ask that the dividing line between
he two counties be So altered that the
;illage of Lackawanna will be added
20 Luzerne. The reason for this is the
,act that when Lackawanna county
vas staked off the territorial limit of
zen miles from the county seat was de-
.ermined and measured from the court
house. The attorney general, in an
opinion rendered to the surveyors lay
ng out the proposed Grow county, said
meant ten miles from the line or city
init of the county seat. So the differ
.nce in distance from the court house
% the northern city line. distance of
ibout mile and a quarter will be
claimed. which will bring the village OF
Lackawanna in LuZerne.

THE CONTROLLER TANGLE.
Joseph D. Lloyd. tho Now Official. Has d
Rough Road.

Joseph d. lloyd, who was appoihtea
controller by Governor Hastings anu
took the oath of office yesterday, mas a
great many things to contend win De-
fore he Is easy in his office ana per-
forming his duties. In the first place
there is no room for him in the court
house: there is not a room in the whois
building which could be put at his dis-
posal. The room occupied by Reese
when he was controller is now the as
SCISSORS office and is used also by the
district attorney to draw indictments
when the grand jury Is In session,
Again the commissioners Will refuse 10
pay him or any Of his clerks salaries
until the constitutionality of the act
creating the office has been tested. Inc
claim 10 made that this act is as fauity
as was the one under which Reese heid
office for six months as controller. Ihe
act creating the office does away with
the office of county auditors, and as the
present auditors have still year TO
serve, they decline to be legislated out
of office and will fight.
The commissioners will refuse TO ac-
knowledge any authority that the con-
troller will claim is vested In him ana
he will have nothing to do but wait
until the case is decided by the courts.
