bAMDERTvILLE, June "a, 1889.
To the President and Common Council;
Gentlemen--in accordance with your resolution
dated juno I'd, 1859, have examined the Ia,
Duplicates of the years 1888, 1886 and 1887, to
gether with the Trcasurer's accounts and Other
available records relative to the tax accounts 70,
those years. and submit herewith detailed state.
ment Of the result, with y summary. from which
you will note that the total amount Of tax levied
and chargeable to the Receiver was S67 ,94S.10. He
has paid over TO the City Treasurer, In cash. city
ORDERS &c. $50, 72206 and received credit for Fire
Certificate Exemptions SISsis, Taxes on Real
Estate sold to the City Sii2 03 and Taxes stricken
from Warrant by authority OF Council 1920 rs,
making a total of SCI ,I23O6 leaving balance OF
ss.isS0a sim due; OF this balance, 81 ,se2ss APP
pears TO be unpaid taxes per detailed lists here
to annexed, and $4,000 is cash collected by the
Delinquent Tax Receiver last year and paid over
to City Treasurer, showing total Of Sl,si70I. ac-
count ed for, leaving cash deficit of $i2a7.07, ex-
tending over the whole period as follows: 1885,
sit5.95 1856, 81 s67 ,9s; 1887 S2,2SS.i4.
More than one hundred dollars Of the taxes in
cluded in attached lists of delinquents are known
TO have been paid by receipts shown, aud | beg
leave to say that believe careful canvass OF the
lists will reveal enough more TO increase the cash
deficit TO probably sa,5O0.Q0.
The Duplicates were kept and left in good shape
by the Receiver II would seem from enteries
made BY him in the Duplicates that he received
amounts which learn he has received, but not
marked paid In the Duplicates
fnd no evidence Of an audit of the Duplicates
for the Years lssS and 1850 before they we're
appear 10 have been any official entry made III the
city records, other than the Duplicates, of the
amount of tax levied for the year 1856, until Feb
ruary. 1887, Ave months after the books had been
In the Receivers hands. When the Official charge
was made 1t appears TO have been S600O0 less than
1t should have been as shown by the Duplicates.
Reference to the minutes OF Council shows that
the resolution directing the Treasurer to make
the charge was offered by the Chairman OF the FL
nance Committee, who will doubtless be very
y lad 10 explain where aud how he obtained the
figures embodied In the resolution. by means OF
which the city would have so quietly let $500 90
drop out Of sight.
The immediate attention OF Council should be
given 10 the manner Of making assessments In
the First aud Third Wards. IL Is done In very
careless way, and should not be allowed under any
circumstances.
Respectfully submitted:

LAMBERTvILLE CHAMPIONSHIP.

Our little city has for months past
been Boosting good deal of its skillfuI
base ball club. Last weeks defeat will
not seriously diminish the lustre of its
many victoriee for.e~sss--s.sysss4 ssssssa - s
generals and the most expert pitchers
aud batters are sometimes liable to de-
feat on battle field and ball field.
So we Lambertville folks mean to
keep up our admiration for our own
B. B. Champions, and expect to have
many more occasions for applauding
them to the echo, up on the Cricket
Ground, these coming Thursday after
moons.
So far, we'll But one important
feature in the case we have been over
boxing. As the men and boys come in
town, from Bristol, Pennington, Trenton,
or our own neighboring farm lands, the
taverns and saloons, with open doors
and smiling bartenders, have for them
o ready welcome, which too many are
prevailed upon to accept.
The immediate effect and the possible
future results of thus imbibing other
than "soft drinks. need not be enlarged
upon here. Our community, at least, is
sufficiently well informed. And our
own boys and men will not escape the
consequences of this fold day drinking
at the public houses.
What ought the towns people to do
themselves, or encourage and help the
ball players to do.
L. AT the very least, provide good ice
water. not TOO ICY cold, free of cost.
2. AS free treat to the competing
club men, and other guests, give whole
some and inexpensive drinks, sweet
milk, or lemonade, or raspberry vinegar.
3. Take measures to have on sale, at
moderate prices, these and other whole.
some beverages coffee, ginger ale, and
the like. with crackers or sandwiches.
4. Let there be place where the
players OF both sides can resort, before
and after the games, to partake of these
refreshments, and to battle face and
hands. and "cool of, " comfortably.
A tent, board shanty, or vacant
house near at hand, would answer these
requirements. The colors of the ball
club and a committee of members or
friends, would mark and gnard these
quarters. Ladies could readily be
fonnd to cooperate. The establishment
of such post would cost little money,
and would raise the tone of things not
little. LAMBERTvILLE's CHAMPIONSHIPS
would stand for good morals. good feel
ing, good treatment, as well as good ball
playing. Let it be done. without delay.

cause. Where is the COMMITTEE ?

WEDNESDAY,, JUNE 26, 1889.

The Hudson Democracy, patterning
after their brethren in New York City,
have now two full Aedged County Com
mittees organized, Notwithstanding and
denouncing the other. The old Commit
tee has resolved "that no person who is
either member or a follower of the
new Committee shall be endorsed by
this (the old Committee for any place
in the gift of the Democratic party"
but this threat has not so far operated
as a scare, and the ranks of the new or
ganization are rapidly increasing.

In connection with this item, we have

Scott Thorne was out on the same day

There are some men who have acquired
high positions on railroads without know

takes mode are frequent and very often

officials were discussing tne matter last
evening, and one of them told very good
story on gentleman named Scranton who
years ago, was the general superintendent
or the Old New Orleans and Mobile railroad

Louisville and Nashville. One day. as Mr..
scranton was walking through the switch

the railroad company has nothing to do ex-

the link was used, the superintendent
dropped 1t and walked off whisting softly.
Another good story was told on Gen. West
