Iowa first pay recorders M aggre-
gate Of probably one hundred ihous-
and dollars annually To keep the
records Of their property and then
pay probably another hundred

owns the property. 4 bill was in
troanced in the legislature last
winter intended TO remedy this ab
snrdity, by requiring recorders t.
keep such an index recor! as would
enable any citizen to ascertain Ii,

4 TALK WITH HIM AFTER HIS RETURN FROM THE
WEST
A dispatch published yesterday stated that Jay
Gould had narrowly escaped being run over in
Rochester in the morning by one of the engines of
the New-York Central and Hudson River Railway
Company 1t was asserted that he stepped in front
of an engine OH one of the side tracks III the New
York Central depot, upon leaving the car which
was bringing him and his party home, and was
warned of his perlous position by the cries of those
around him. Mr. Gould was seen late last evening
upon his arrival in this city by TRIBUNE reporter
in reference TO the report. lie SAID:
"The story is made out OF whole CLOTH There
was 10 foundation whatever for 1t. The first
heard of the report was when party reached
Albany to-day. There 1 found number
Of kilograms from my friends, connatulating me
upon my fortunate escape. I suppose Mr.. Could
added smiling himself at the idea. " that the story
was telegraphed to New-Yorl, as a joke"
MIR. Gould had not heard of the action taken by
several of the prominent stockholders Of the Mutual
Union Telegraph Company to place what
claimed to be majority of livestock the company
in trust. The reporter stated the facts regarding
the matter as announced yesterday, and asked Mr..
Gould what effect such an action would have on
the relations between the Western Union and the
Mutual Union Companies.
a. had not heard ofit,' was the reply, after
mGnentary pause. " do not think that had
better say anything about it to-mght."

THE STATEN ISLAND FERRY FRANCHISE

Considerable interest manifested among resi-
dents of Staten Island in regard to the disposal of
the Staten Island Railway Ferry franchise, and the
lease of the water front now occupied by the COM
pany at the foot of Whitehal-st The present lease
and franchise expire today, aud under the law of
1881 the Controller. acting for The Sinking Fund
Commissioners, Is vested with the power of selling
both the franchises and the leases of the water
front occupied for ferry purposes Heretofore the
Controller has had the right 10 dispose OF the Terry
franchl,es and the Dock Commi sSOncrs have leased
the water front for such purposes President
Laimbeer. of the Dock Board, said yesterday:
"The new law Is apt 10 confuse the taxpayers, who
believe that the Dock Department should be
source OF large revenue to the city, Inc
the Dock bonds to keep the entire waterfront in
complete repair. AS the present leases expire the
Sinking Fund Commissioners will sell both the
wharf property and franchises and VIII collect
the rents eventually our receipts VIII be reduced
in this way $500, 900 OF 100000 year, while II Is
incumbent upon US to keep the property Ill good
condition at an expense of S10O,OOO year.
Already the new law makes a difference III our IN
come of $4,000 year The last lease to expire
will DO that of the Erie Railway Ferry Company IN
$1,000
1t was stated that the cause of the delay
tn tie Staten OF Island Rag co@an 'S
is due to a difference of opinion between
the Sinking Fund Commissioners and the Board Of
Aldermen. The former claim not to have The right
to dispose OF franchise. excepting TO an established
ferry also that the Staten Island Company is not
illegally established. and that a resolution OF the
Board is needed TO so establish 1t. The ferry was
started III 1920, under the superintendent of
Daniel ID. 1ompHDs, who coaches on
the turnpike between NewYork and Philadel-
pima by way of Staten Island. la
1865 it was purchased by the present company
In 1867 the title of the ferry slip being disputed
the lease was put up at auction. The company
offered 81 OOO but q bid OF $s, 900 by STRIKERS"
around the City Hall stopped 1t from going higher.
1t then sent to the persons that bid the lease in and
demanded that the boats should be taken at the
company's valuation, as the law provided. This so
nOnplussed them that the lease was readily trans
ferred 10 the existing company.
