WASHIhCTOHS CLAIM
THEY WON A DINNER

A break in the steam boiler of the
EVENING NEWS plant caused vol
OF steam to issue from the
building about noon yesterday and
the fire department was called out.
No damage by fire resulted and re-
pairs to the boiler were made last
night.
Although there was no need for
the department, as what seemed to
be smoke was only steam, the COM
panies covering the district were
quick to respond. First came Wash
ington Hose & Chemical Company
and later Lincoln Engine Company
and Protection Hook & Ladder Com
pany.
Through the efficient work OF
Richard Seguine the Washingtons
were ON the scene and had three
hydrant lines and a chemical line In
the building before the Hook & Lad
der and Lincoln companies, across
the street from the EVENING

tiers. Members OF the Washington
company claim that If the old custom
to give a dinner to q company on the
scene before other companies located
across the street from a fire is still
prevalent a dinner Ia due them at the
expense of the Protection Hook &

ASSESSMENT
OBJECTED TO
Upper State st. Property
Owners Want IL Reduced.

Figures On the upper State street
asphalt block pavement assessment
will be reviewed at another meeting
of the assessment commissioners to
be held shortly, at which an attempt
will be made to reduce the amount
to be paid by property owners for
the new asphalt block pavement.
Most of the large property owners
along both sides of the thorough
fare, from Smith street to the Lehigh
Valley bridges, over which the
pavement has been laid, oppose the
assessment levied.
They have held meetings to dis
cuss the subject and will shortly hold
another n and they state, that If
necessary, the matter will be brought
into court. They protested at a
meeting of the commissioners last
week and were then Informed that
If possible, the assessment for each
twenty-five foot lot might be reduced
to S75. 1t is now about 500 and the
complaining property holders assert
they wereS given to understand by
prominent politicians prior to the
laying of the pavement that it would
cost from $40 to $50 a twenty-five
foot lot.
The pavement is reported to have
cost ~$43,629.54. OF that amount it
is stated the property owners have
to pay $25,675.64 and the city, $17,-
$500. The complainants say they
do not wish to bring the subject In
to court, as 1t might take a long time
to thresh it out and would accept an
assessment of about $50 a lot.
One of the property holders, who
has been prominent in the fight for
a reduced assessment, states the as
sessments have not been levied just
ly. He declares the owner of a large
piece Of property at Fayette street
is assessed more than the owner of
a tract similar In size around Buck
ingham
One of the commissioners stated
this afternoon that they are doing
all in their power to reduce the
amount to be paid by property own
ers in order to dispose OF the sub
ject.
