ARE THE BONDS LEGAL?
School Board Has IA Knotty Problem to
Settle Before 1t Builds.

The borough school boards monthly
meeting was held last evening, with
Messrs. Mccarthy, Timony, Ferry, Smith
and Sweeney present. The sale of the
proposed bonds was thoroughly dis
cuSsed. The secretary reported that
quite number of letters asking about
the same had been received. There is a
doubt, however, regarding their legality,
owing to the error which crcpt into Il
bill passed by the last legislature, an
account of which the TRIBUNE gave
some time ago. A private letter to
Director Timony from Attorney &. l..
lIalscy was also read in which the
opinion was given that to increase the
district Indebtedness to : per cent of the
valuation it will be necessary to hold
four elections, each one year apart. A
motion to take the matter before the
Board of Trade was lost, and motion
to lay it on the table indefinitely was
carried. The opinion prevails that the
bond issue will not be made until the
defect in the law is rcmedicd next
year, aud until then the new school
building may not be erected.
Bills as follows were presented and
ordered paid TRIBUNE, printing and
advertising from April - to August ;,
$50. 80; j. NJ. Carr, professional service
in special election, $40; IIazcton Truth,
advertising from July = to August ;,

From the Wilkcsbarrc Record.
A man named Anthony Ferry, who
broke jul at Mauch Chunk some time
ago, came to the house of James Hill
on Sunday, and Hill sent his daughter
after Il policeman and the prisoner was
arrested. Hill notified the authorities
and the sheriff came and took him back
to Mauch Chunk without calling ON Hill
As there is 500 reward Hill claims it,,
and left for Mauch Chunk to demand it,
Hill says the sheriff treated him shah
billy by not calling on him to learn the
facts
