MARKET-STREET RAILWAY
COULD NOT PAY ITS TAXES
TAX COLLECTOR SHEEHAN RE-
FUSES TO ACCEPT.
The Offered Amount Over $4,000 Less
Than the Board of Equaliza-
TONS Assessment
Calls For.

Yesterday morning the Market-street
Railway Company, through its agent, z.
Il. Ryan rendered to Tax Collector Shee-
han the sum of s22S ,256 80 as payment for
the companys personal property taxes,
the said sum representing the amour. cal
culated on the assessment as returned by
Assessor Dodge. AS this assessment had
been raised by the Board Of Supervisors
sitting as Board of Equalization, TO an
amount which increased the taxes $3.50
which Ryan refused 10 pay, Tax Collector
Sheehan likewise refused TO accept the
check unless il was raised 10 correspond
to the figures on his books, which are
s23s, 036 92. Ryan contended that the
original assessment of DR. Dodge, which
was SA,047 569, should stand and that the
Board of Supervisors had no right or au-
thority to increase the assessment TO $14,-
647 1863, but that IL is merely empowered to
reduce upon the sustainment OF protest.
Upon Sheehan's refusal TO accept
anything less than the amount the bill cali
ed for, he wrote the following refusal
upon the reverse side Of the bill at the re-
quest OF Ryan:
This is TO certify that on this 10th day of
November. 1899 the Market Street Railway

ond instalment computed on an assessed
valuation OF sl4003.4sl. Said company by
its agent then and there claiming that the
rendered the full amount OF
taxes due upon the lawful valuation OF the
property described herein by the Assessor
Of this city and county, and that the ad-
diton of 100000 over and above said valua-
ton as shown by this bill was made with
out authority of law after the assessment
roll had left the hands OF the Assessor and
was and is wholly void.
/ declined TO receive the above sum on
the sole ground then and there stated by
me 10 said r. b. Ryan that said sum Is
$3.50 less than the total sum called for in
this tax bill.
The above mentioned tender (s22S 256 e5)
was made subject TO no conditions on the
part OF the Market-street Railway Company
or its agent.

Questions of paramount Importance
to be considered are whether the
mine operators whose employees work
eight hours a day shall change the
schedule to ten hours for a days work
or whether the operators whose min
ers work ten hours day will reduce
the period of labor to eight per day;
also, whether the rate of wages to
miners in Virginia and West Nir-
ginia shall be equalized to the rate in
Pennsylvania and Ohio and other
states near the great lakes. In all
western states the operators work
their mines ten hours daily. Four
fifths of the mines in Pennsylvania,
