city OF tract of land at Lancaster ave-

Railroad Company, site for an
armory for a cavaTy and engineering
company of National Guards, are at a
standstill,
Councils authorized purchase OF the
site, limiting the amount to be paid to
S75, 900. City Solicitor Ryan contends that
amount Is excessive and. it is said, the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company is un-
willing to accept a less amount. The
City Solicitor points out that the tract
is ass sssed at $4,000. and says that in
his opinion $50 900 would be an ample
purchase price.
He suggests that the value of the land
be determined by an arbitration board
OF three persons, one to be named by the
City Solicitor, another by the Pennsy-
vania Railroad Company, and the third
member to be chosen by the two APP
pointed members. The Commonwealth
