THAT BIG PRINTING PLANT.
Work on It Will Not Begin Until
Late in the Summer-Can't
Get Plans Ready.

The new mammoth printing plant to
be erected by the Colliery Engineer
company on that portion Of Wyoming
avenue soon to be opened will not be
begun until late in the summer, in
stead of the early spring. as had been
anticipated.
This is due to the fact that the build
Ing will be SO large and so complete
that the plans cannot possibly be pre-
pared before that time. r. ]. Foster,
In chatting about the proposed new
building yesterday, stated that, while
the delay was regretted by all, it could
not be helped.
He stated that as the architects who
are preparing the plans are the archi-
tects in charge Of the architectural
department of the schools their work
in this latter capacity interfered to a
very large extent with the work Of
preparation.
Mr.. Foster remarked that, though
Architect Collins had been through
every large printing office in the coun-
try, he was unable to get very many
useful hints, owing to the fact that a
printing establishment on such an
enormous a scale as the one proposed
by the company is not to be found in
the country.
He stated that probably as many as
five or six sets of plans would have
to be prepared and gone over before
the officials would be thoroughly satis-
fed. He said, however, that work will
undoubtedly be commenced some time
in the summer, in order that the build
ing might be ready for occupancy by
the early part Of 1901.

Judges Archibald and Edwards are
now busily engaged in considering the
liquor license applications presented
Monday. They expect to hand down
the licenses tomorrow morning.
A brief session of license court was
held yesterday morning to hear several
cases that will be held over. The mat
ter Of licensing the Bon Ton," on
Penn avenue, for which there are two
applications, was simplified some by
the withdrawal Of John ]. Skelly's APP
plication. The other applicant is Fran
els Halter.
The application of John j. Shea, Of
Main street, Taylor, was opposed by a
remonstrance presented by Attorney
William H. Roe. He argued that the
place is not necessary and that it is
in a residential portion of the town and
In close proximity to a school and
church. Hon. John P. Kelly, repre-
senting the applicant, contended for
the necessity of the place and the ap-
pllcants capabilities as a hotel-keeper.
Attorney B. F. Akerly argued to the
court at length on the necessity Of the
new hotel in Clark's Summit, which
Oscar Handrick wants permission to
establish. Speaking Of the big remon-
STRANGE filed against the application,
Mr.. Akerly asked the court to bear
in mind that the persons who signed
the remonstrance are opposed to the
sale Of liquor in every way, shape and
manner, and consequently their judg-
ment Is not the best as to whether or
not a new hotel is needed for the ac-
commodation Of the public at Clark's
Summit. A good sized sustaining petit
ton was presented by Mr.. Akerly.

prisoners. Mr.. Howell went to the COM
missioners' office for the purpose Of
learning the true facts regarding the
$2OO already paid over by the county
commissioners. that the controller
might be guided thereby in demand
Ing an accounting Of the January fines,
not cent Of which have yet been paid
over to the city treasury.
1t Will be understood that 5000 has
already been paid over to the chief by
the commissioners and that this money
was used In payment Of the bounty de-
manded by the Canadian officials. The
S2oo taken from the police fines was
used for railway fare etc. The COM
missioners stated, as above mentioned,
that they thought this 5000 covered the
whole business, and that no other $500
would be paid out of the county treas
ury.
The interesting question now arises
as to where the chief is going to get
that 5000 from.
