IMPORTANT QUESTION.

One question he viii be called upon
to settle Is whether or not he will give
any consideration whatever 70 orders,
in making up his final report to court.
1t will be contended by those opposing
the claims that an order is not an in
debtedness, but only an evidence of in
debtedness; that judgments alone can
be classed as indebtedness.
1t is also likely to be held by the at
tacking parties that as the Constitu-
ton limits municipal Indebtedness to
two per cent. of the assessed valuation,
all Indebtedness over and above that
limit will have to be set aside and de-
clared nil.
Two per cent of the assessed valu-
alton of Lackawanna township would
be 100000. The Indebtedness, including
orders and judgments, with interests
and costs. will amount to $4,000, ac-
cording to Commissioner Quinnan's es-
innate. If this constitutional limita-
ton is enforced it will mean that one
half of the claims presented will have
to be thrown out Which ones the COM
missioner should throw out is the deli
cate question that will possibly have
to be met and disposed Of

The company having decided to contin-
ue operations in the city they will Ie-

cordingly the directors have decided to

As one of the chief contentious of the

limitation matter may regulate itself.

opposing attorneys that they will prove

the child is the host of feast to which

including the recent pastor, Father Leo.
The church was crowded with the candi-
dates for confirmation, the junior socie-
ties, Roman Knights, members of the
congregation and many visitors. which
presented brilliant sight in the beauti-
full church. St. Peters church has re-
Gently been thoroughly renovated and
beautifed, which with the commodious
pastoral residence and new school house
reflect credit on the congregation to
whose labor and generous contributions
they are deserved monument.
