Wanted an Injunction.

John w. James, through his attor-
ney, c. Comegys, yesterday asked
Judge John p. Kelly for an injunction
to restrain the city treasurer and city
solicitor from selling certain properties
next Monday for unpaid city taxes.
James made the application as a tax
payer In general and for himself, al
leging that the act of 1889, under which
the sale IS to be made, Is unconsti-
tutional.
City Solicitor Vosburg opposed the
application, holding that James could
not as taxpayer interpose an objec-
ton to the collection OF taxes from
any one save himself. A taxpayer may
object, Mr. Vosburg said, to the way
taxes are disbursed, but he can hardly
make objection to the collection Of
taxes which are to be used for his
benefit. Judge Kelly said he would
prefer to have the matter heard by
the full bench and the application will
be renewed Monday. There are up
wards Of twenty-five properties to be
sold Monday because OF unpaid taxes,
and il Mr.. James application Is al
lowed none of these can be sold for
the present at least.
An application was made for an in
junction as to Mr.. James own case,
and 1t was granted and made return
able to argument court.

Several officials of the Lackawanna
railroad went to Factoryville yester-
day and were driven over the six miles
Of road to Lake Winola for the pur-
pose Of determining the advantages Of
a branch to this popular resort. The
syndicate which recently purchased a
tract of land on the shores of the lake
are desirous of securing better rail-
road facilities for reaching Winola and
invited the officials to look over the
land.
In the party were General Superin-
tendent e. G. Russell, Superintendent
Of Transportation ]. NJ. Daily. Division
Superintendent A. G.. Salisbury, Divis-
ion Freight Agent Ten Brock and
Superintendent Hadley, OF the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western COM
pany: DR.. w. A. Paine, DR.. P. F..
Struppler, A. NJ. Morse and f. NJ.
Morse. The party returned last even
ing, very much pleased with the ad-
vantages offered, and in all probability
the matter will be suggested to Presl-
dent Truesdale.

Tow nship Makes Answer.

Figures do not lie-of their own ac-
cord, but that they can be made to
convey false impression Is patent
from a comparison OF the statements
filed respectively by the Borough OF
Moosic and Lackawanna township In
the matter of the division OF the dis
trict school property
The statement filed some weeks ago
by the borough indicated that just
about half the school property OF the
former Lackawanna township district
was included within the limits OF the
new borough of Mooslc and that on
the basis of valuation, population and
the like this was not an undue pro-
portion.
The response OF the Lackawanna
township, filed yesterday by Attorney
M. J. Donahoe characterizes this state
ment as false, erroneous and intended
to mlslead and bias the court, and then
goes on to give the really, truly state
ment.
The valuation OF the whole district,
the statement AYERS, Is 81, 030, ,422. The
valuation of the part comprised within
Mooslc borough is 327S,S99. The valua-
tion OF the territory remaining in
Lackawanna township, therefore, is
$751; 1928 The total value OF school prop
erty in the whole district is 1925 and
within the limits of Moosic S26,170
worth Of II Is located, leaving only 311,
255 worth as the portion Of the town
ship.
II the property was distributed on
the basis Of valuation, 1t Is contended
Moosc would be entitled to only 80,
730, and having taken s26.170, has now
$l6,440 In excess of what it Is entitled
to. Consequently, the court is asked
to decree that Moo.ic shall pay over
to Lackawanna the sum Of 316,44O plus
Moosic's pro rata share OF the districts
$4,000 Indebtedness, minus It's pro rata
share OF the S6,07b61 cash in the hands
OF the township treasurer at the time
the borough seeded, December 8, 1898
This is equivalent to asking the bor'
ouEh to pay t17922 for the privilege OF
escaping from Lackawanna township.
