Homes Will Not Be
Razed This Year and
Possibly Not Even
in 1916
mo HURRY"
SAYS OFFICIALS
City Commissioners Admit That Compli-
cations in the Matter of Acquiring
Property Titles Will Cause Long
Delay in Removal of Settlement

Hardscrabble property owners
whose homes the City proposes TO raze
to permit changing the lines and re-
opening that section of North Front
street, between Herr and Calder streets,
need now have no fear that they will
be asked or compelled to vacate their
home on April 1, next, as had been an
nounced, or even before the same date
in 1916, so the City Commissioners said
this afternoon.
Without going into detail the Com
missioners announced that the Hard
scrabble" case looks to them like one
that will mean years of litigation in
the courts beforse all Of the property
owners and the City can be satisfied.
There is no reason for hurry, they say
now.
Officially no action was taken on the
matter at the Commissioners meeting
this afternoon but after the adjourn
ment Commissioner Lynch raised the
point that the property owners and ten
ants, who are eager to know whether
they must vacate by April /, next.
should be given some satisfaction.
"Tell them that il will be at least a
year before they will have to get out,
suggested Mr.. Gorgas. "There is no i'm
mediate necessity for hurrying this
thing along. Besides it is too impor-
tant question to rush through.
Then it was suggested that the es'
Inmates of damages to be sustained by
the property owners through the sur
render Of their homes, which recently
were given TO the City Solicitor by the
property owners, should be considered
and some action taken. 4 tentative
plan was suggested under which the
tity Solicitor would ascertain if all or
any nu lber of these estimates arc fair
and sho,tld be accepted, and if all are
not equrtable, the legal adviser then
would be probably next Tues
day--to ask the Court to appoint a
board of viewers who would fix the pres
ent values of the real estate.
That work alone would require
months, and the Commissioners now fig
,lre that they will not be ready to or
der the razing of the houses before the
spring of 1916 and possibly not then.
a few of the estimated property val
ues, as submitted, the Commissioners
figure, should be accepted, but the ma
jority of them, they contend, are so
high as to call for the appointment of
the viewing board. To those whose
prices are accepted bonds will be given
to protect the property owner. OF
course bonds also will be filed to protect
all the property owpers when the con-
demnation proceedings are actually be-
gun.

Kielce is the capital of the Russian
province of that name and lies in
Southern Poland, about so miles north
of the border of the Austrian province
of Galicia In that region has occurred
some of the heaviest fighting of the
eastern campaign. Kielce has been a
Russian base and is of considerable
strategic value because of the fact that
it is the most important railroad june
tion northeast of Cracow. It's capture,
if effected, follows the initiation of the
ne-H offensive movement by the Ger

According to well-informed German
sources this cruiser suffered heavily
from the fire of our cannon and was
then sunk by a German torpedo boat
by two we'll directed shots. The sinking
was observed by German airship
which followed the battle closely. Two

A. Mn the absence of further de-
tails of the naval battle in the North

and strength of the British units en-
gagged. No credence is given to a Brit
ish Admiralty S report that no British
vessel was lost in the fight.
Much more space is given in the
newspapers to the new orders of the
federal council concerning breadstuffs
which are welcomed by all writers.
