In Common Council, A t a meeting of t he members of the

eotmcil Tuesday night, opinions <pi the citry attorney were rendered. r Relative to t he first question sub^mittedasto du^ ties a n d objections of the. cexaetery commission j Mr. Farwel l said, in sub-stahee t h a | b y t he operation of-the Jaw ihcorporating the city,/ She' eemetery commission beoame one of . t h e deparfe meats of t h e municipal gove»3inem% and. t h a t the common council therefore i a s fv& powder to # s j a'^pjgraji from ti^at commission, a n d to O r d ^ ' ^ i n r : veSt igs t i^^ jease '^ t t cH &*epor tm n o t forthepinjaag. B i s laofc Hkelyrthat,a report wi l l be asked for atpresent .

W i t h regard to theposition t aken 'by the recently organized board "of heal th tha t b i l l s audited b y tha t board 'a t a previous meeting were illegal, Mr; Farwel l contends tha t under the char­ter the mcumStent of a n office, wi th certain exceptions not applying to t he board of heal th, holds over un t i l h is successor is appointed. Consequently Commissioners Durkin, O'MaHey and Michaelson constituted a legal board of heal th for. t he transaction of busi­ness and could approve al l accounts in their department and refer the same to the board of audit wi th their recom­mendat ions; a n d if the claims were a legal charge against the city otherwise, they should be paid.

Question has arisen, "as to -whether the bill of Hea l th Officer McCarthy for attendance in a casd of diphtheria was-a legal c laim against the munic­ipali ty. The bi l l was for $36. Some of the officials hold that heal th officer is remunerated for cases of this k ind b y his annua l salary, which is $300.

The council last week referred the collection of the local franchise tax upon the Geneva Steam Heat ing Co., to t he , c i t y attorney. Tuesday 'n igh t Mr. Farwel l communicated the fact that tiie state franchise law of 1899, practically annuls the city franchise regulation. Under the former, ihe state and county receive par t of the sum assessed. Under the old city regu-: lations, of course, the full franchise assessment remained in the municipal treasury.

The present rate per thousand here, for city, state and county purposes, is $16.49. Under the .special franchise act of 1899, the city m a y retain $16 of this sum. The remainder goes. to the county and!state". •

" Chairman Travis offered a resolution in effect that the common council of the City of Geneva urge upon the representatives of this county and dis­trict in the legislature, Assemblyman Burnet t and Senator Raines, the pas­sage of the amendment now before that body. The amendment provides for the annexation of Border City and a strip of l and extending 2,400 feet southjof the present city line, annex­ing the pumping station. The resolu­tion was. adopted, Alderman Rogers was the ohly member to vote against the resolution.

Relative to the bil l of Supervisor Fox, for $215.17, for services in con­nection with the state board of tax commissioners, and for disbursements of funds, which the council reduces to $14.00, City Attorney Farwel l s a y s / " T h e per diem charges on the bill of j Mr. F o x are a legal charge against the city at the rate of $2 per day, and I find seven such days charged a t $4 per day. On May 1, 1900, the supervisor

state board of tax commissioners at Canandaigua, N. Y. . - I t is incumbent upon the • supervisor to attend such meeting when he is requested by the state board to be present. But I can find no authority for the charge of ex­penses and mileage a t such meeting, neither do I find any authori ty or law for the charge of one per cent, for pay­ing out money.

"However, it might be well A© say that it has been the custom of a l l su­pervisors, so far as I have been able to ascertain, to charge and receive from the town one per cent, upon a l l moneys disbursed by. them as such. The moneys specificed in the annexed bill were disbursed b y . Supervisor F o x a t the time specified, therein, and follow­i n g the usua l custom1 'he made t h e charge of one per cent ." —

The Republican majority in the board of supervisors is likely to be in­creased by one vote, as J . E.

Al l of the scenes breath of the atmos­phere of a couutry town and the set­tings were all made after sketches taken in New York state where the scenes are located Mr. Crane's make­up as H a r u m is particularly good and closely follows the description of the m a n given in the book. Of course most of the interest i n the play centers in Harum, the love between h im and his sister, Aun t Polly, and the desire of David to bring J o h n Lenox and pretty Mary Blake together. The clos­ing act of the play is said to be excep­tionally strong and to be full of hu­man nature.

"SHERLOCK HOLMES" I n Mr. Gil let t ' splay is really an im­

provement on the character as made famous by Conan Doyle." The stage character has more audacity, humor, eccentricity and alertness of mind, tha t isflfchey are more in evidence in the play which is a n original treat­ment along melodramatic lines of a group of Doyle's clever stories. Gil­lette never loses sight of the original prep'osterousness of Doyle's ideal de­tective and injects a gleam of humor i n t o t h e g r i m m e s t s i tua t ions i n w h i c h he is so often placed. Holmes is a desperate fellow out a keen and prac­tical one. "Wherefore he is the most acceptable and delightful of all the detectives of theatrical history. The result is-, that Gillette's play fascinates whi le it amuses. Next Monday night at the Smith. " .
