CITy'S FISCAL YEAR.
1t Comes TO an End Next Monday at
Moon.

The city's fiscal year ends next Mon
day noon and to the nearness of the
date is due some anxiety as to the fate
of many unapproved ordinances, reso-
lutions and other papers which have
been waiting one week for final con-
sideration by the mayor.
Among the measures are several of
Importance, number greater than
usually awaits the mayors decision at
one time. To Tribune reporter Mayor
Bailey yesterday said he would finally
dispose of nearly all the papers before
him by Thursday night. He declined
to intimate what measures would not
be given final disposition on or before
that day, but they are presumed to be
the two Nineteenth Sewer district or
dinances, one creating the district and
one providing for the sewers. Other
papers he may be undecided about or
have determined not to approve, but
they are none of them important. That
Mayor Bailey will sign the ordinance
granting the Dunn Street Sprinkling
company the exclusive right to sprinkle
the streets, is presumed.
Those measures now awaiting sigma
ture and in which the greatest inter-
est is centered are the following ordi-
nances: Providing for a sewer on
North Main avenue, Providence road
and Philo street; providing for the paw
ing of Providence road and North Main
avenue from Court street to the city
line; providing for sidewalks on West
Linden street, between Ninth street
and North Main avenue; providing for
sidewalks and paved cutters and the
setting of curbstones on the easterly
side of Clay avenue, between Myrtle
and Pine streets.

Philadelphia, March 2S.--Judges Cor
don and Bregy today resumed the
judicial inquiry into the alleged bribery
and improper influences by which the
Schuylkill Valley Water company's bill
leasing the city water works was
pushed in councils up to O vote on final
passage, but which was then indefi-
nitely postponed. At the last session
Councilman Walker admitted receiving
$500 for his vote in committee and
Councilman Clay charged Nelson G.
Green, of New York. counsel for the
company, of having told him that it
cost $4,000 or $4,000 to get the bill
through the water committee.
Mayor Charles F. Warwick, and DR..
William p. Pepper. eX-provost of the
University of Pennsylvania, told of
their connection with Mr. Green. DR..
Pepper said he met him through Judge
Henry Green, of the Pennsylvania
Supreme court, who arranged a con-
ference at the witness office. Judge
Green took no other part in the con-
ference than to introduce Nelson G..
Green. The latter endeavored to secure
witness influence in favor of the bill,
but without success.
GREEN WELL POSTED.
Mayor Warwick said he was intro
duced to Nelson C. Green by Judge
Green. After the latter had left the
mayors office Nelson Green spoke of
the Schuylkill Valley bill. The witness
then explained that at this time coun-
ellis was endeavoring to pass a big loan
bill in which $3000,000 was to be used
to improve the water supply. Coun-
cils' right to borrow the money was
questioned and the matter was ulti-
mately carried to the Supreme court
where it was decided that the people
must first authorize the loan. This was
in May of last year. At 10 o'clock on
the morning that the decision was
handed down in Harrisburg, Nelson G.
Green came into witness office and
told him the decision of the Supreme
court, at the same time handing him a
copy of 1t. The mayor after glancing
at it handed it back, whereupon Nell
son Green told him the court had just
handed it down. The mayor asked him
by what right he had the opinion in
his possession at the hour it was being
handed down in Harrisburg, and de-
manded that he hand it over to him.
Green put it in his pocket and would
not allow the mayor again to look at it.
The inquiry was then adjourned un-
til Friday morning, the district attor-
ney saying the introduction of other
testimony might interfere with the
trial of Peter f. Smith tomorrow.
Smith is charged with attempted brib-
cry in connection with the bill.
Judge Green and Nelson G. Green are
not related.
