BILL DISCUSSED
Levy Court Held Special
Meeting, But Reached No
Terms of Settlement

There was a special meeting Of the
Levy Court this morning to consider
the Arrowsmith electrical bill, but az
ter being in session for two hours the
court adjourned without having ac-
ccmphshed anything definite. The bal
ance claimed by Mr. Arrowsmith is
s2,792.56.
At the meeting this morning the tes-
umOny of Philadelphia and New York
electrical men was heard as to the
charges in the bill. Walter II. HAYES
was counsel for Mr.. Arrowsmith and
examined the witnesses. John w. Nor
rison, who has examined all Of the
work done by the ATrowsmith Com
pany, was also present.
The first witness called was Percy
R Cross, of New York. In answer to
questions from Mr.. Hayes, the witness
said he had been engaged in the gem
eral electrical business in New York
for seven years. He said he had gone
9r the AnTowsmith bills, and had sx-
amined the work in the Court House.
In his opinion, judging from the class
of work, the bills were reasonable. Mr..
Cross said that in the case of labor, he
considered the bill was cheaper than
would have been charged in New
York, as the lowest price paid fer cleo
trical labor there is sixty cents an hour.
On behalf of the court the witness
was cross-questioned by Mr.. Chandler.
Garrett A. Vallee, president of the
Vallee Bros Electrical Company, was
called and testified that he had been
in the business for twenty-five years.
He also testified that he considered the
charges reasonable.
Mr. Chandler stated that the ARROW
smith Company had charged $500 for a
cable, and Si86.11 for installing itwbich
they had no right to do.
Gilbert S. Smith testified that he had
been with J. T. DucannOn & Co, a gem
eral contracting and jobbing house in
Philadelphia for nine years. He had
also examined the bills and work, and
considered the charges reasonable.

PRICE OF COAL
AGAIN REDUCED
Raise Was Caused by Scar
city of Reading Coal-Big
Supply Received Today

The price Of coal again dropped this
morning. On Saturday, on account of
the scarcity Of Reading coal, the price
was raised 81 in the ton. This was
done because the Reading coal could
not be had. The coal sold at sS q. ton
was secured from private colleriea.
where the charge was 81 a ton more
than the Reading.
A representative Of the Georga w.
Bush and Sons Company, in speaking
OF the situation today, said "The coaI
merchants of this city have been
blamed with much of which they are
innocent. 1t seems to be the impress
sion Of many that We are getting coal
for a nominal price and are extortion-
ing upon the public. Such is not the
CASE We are selling it at a closer mar
gin than for some time. and are ex-
pending every effort to set as large a
supply as possible.
The coal which we charged So for
on Saturday was sold at less profit ttan
the Reading at 81. l co not think the
price will 60 up again, however. We
received today 275 tons, and will en-
deavor to keep a supply, although We
are taxed TO our utmost capacity, do
