A Brief Sketch Of Ellis Island-A Brave
Quartermaster-AD Dull Life.

A Brief Sketch Of Ellis Island-A Brave
Quartermaster-AD Dull Life.
Ellis island, or Fort ibson, as it was
formerly called, is north Of Bedloe's, island,
about COO yards distant and close to the
Jersey Shore although included in the First
ward Of New York city. The fort formerly
mounted twelve guns and was garrisoned by
Q detachment of United States troops until
some time during the "fifties," when it was
formally transferred to the ordnance do
partment Of the navy to be used as a maya
zine
Until 1850, however, the army nominally
controlled tho fertilization, which was
annually visited by an officer connected
with the military service. In 1851 an order
was received directing the removal of the
guns and the dismantling Of the fort Since
then the island has been under the absolute
control Of the chief of the bureau of ord
nance. navy department, Washington.
During the war CT the rebellion immense
quantities Of powder wero securely stored
upon the island, while the shell rooms were
literally packed with projectiles of every
description There are at present five COM
partments used for the manufacture of
charges Of powder and the storing of shell
and other projectiles Notwithstanding the
dangerous character of the material, no in
stance has yet been reported of an accident
by explosion since the island was used as q
magazine. This is due to the extraordinary
precautions observed by the employees under
the direction Of the officer in charge, who in
each instance has been selected from the
ranks OF the gunners OF the navy.
Notwithstanding the care Observed in
handling shell several narrow escapes from
accident have been reported. Upon one
occasion while unloading some sixty pound
shells from Q sloop Quarterman Cook no.
ticed q wSSiIe smoke issuing from the box
containing tho projectiles. Hastily snatch
ing it up he passed it from the hold to the
deck above shouting to the men at tine she'll
whip to throw the blamed thing over
board" The men fed for their lives, while
Cook, coolly climbing on deck, threw the
smoking shell into the river For this bravo
action he was compiimented in general
orders by the chief of ordnance.
There are at present but four watchmen
employed about the island, one Of whom is
constantly on duty to prevent the landing of
pleasure parties without permission and in
noting singals The island is reachedsby
means Of a rowboat from the Jersey shore,
small red flag on the flagstaff near the
landing notifying the man on watch of the
presence Of visitors As it is necessary for
every vessel of the navy when leaving or
entering the navy yard to discharge or re-
ceive powder and ammunition from Ellis
island, the place is sometimes enlivened by
the presence of naval officers Beyond this

from a cruise on the saucy little sloop

THE NEW APPRAISEMENT.
Probable Decrease of Forty Million DOL
lars in the Valuation of Property.
The Inequalities of Assessment in the Differ
ent Counties Which the State Board of
Equalization Will Have to Adjust.

The annual session of the State Board of
Equalization began yesterday, but further than
to organize and agree upon the order of arrang-
ing the work. nothing was d,ne The assess
ment of railroad property will be made first, af
ter which the board will give attention to the
equalization of the appraisement of real estate
in the different counties. The session of the
board is limited by law to forty dogs, and the
work. therefore, must be performed within that
time, although it is insufficient, as four weeks
are usually required to fix the assessment on rail
road property alone.
The reports which have been received from
county auditors, giving the sexennial appraise-
ment of real estate, made this spring, show that
marked inequalities exist, as State Auditor Rice
predicted some time ago there would be OF
forty counties from which reports have been re-
ceived only six show an increase in the valua-
ton. while the decrease varies from 5 to 50 per
cent in most of them. The total assessments,
including personal property in the counties
which have reported, together with the amounts
last year. are as follows:
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1886-06-22
Total. 1924, e8s,3 s24o, 100, 500

The total valuation of the property of these
thirty-seven counties is $15, 121 ,452 lower under
the new appraisement than under the DID, and it
is estimated by Auditor Rice that the aggregate
decrease in all the counties will be about $40,
600, 600. This it is believed is greater decline
than is warranted by fair valuation of the
property. The members of the board agree in
the opinion that the system of aDpraisement is
mach at fault. and that it WILL in consequence,
be almost impossible for them to properly equal
ize the assessment AS an instance of the irreg
ularities of the system, member of the board
points to the custom of assessors in agreeing to
assess horses in three classes usually making
the rate ror the best class $40. and for the poor
est $40. Under this schedule horses that could
not be bought for $500 $500 are assessed at $40
The system is much the same in regard to all
other kinds of property
In equalizing the assessment of real estate the
board will base its judgment on comparison of
the lands in adjoining counties. and necessarily
the, AZ oraisements will be made largely upon
guess-work. The law does not empower the
board to reduce the aggregate amount of the ap-
praisement in any county, but it may be in
creased.
If the estimate of Auditor Rice that the assess
ment will fall $40, 900, 900 below the present val
uation proves to be correct the corresponding
reduction in the tax revenue of the State govern
ment, which is now barely sufficient to meet the
current expenses, will necesstate an increase in
the rate of lexy by the next General Assembly.
