Assessor Dollard of Hoboken is very in
dignant at the imputation that the re-
turn of the valuation of property In that
city to the County Board is not what it
should be, Yesterday the Assessor showed
me the figures Of the valuation that be
turned into the Common Council and
those which he made TO the County Board
and they exactly agreed.
1.-The Jersey City authorities are always
claiming that am holding back the real
valuation In this city, !" said the Assessor,
but there are my own figures which |
made for the city do not think that
Jersey City's city tax books are open to
inspection. Last year the same howl
came from Jersey City, yet that city held
back S122, 600 exemption taxes. This year
lay claim to $4,000 exemption taxes,
and believe Hoboken is as justly en-
titled to it us Jersey City was last year"

SHORT STOPS.

~ SlofS.
What the People r Saying.
There is q general impression with
our intelligent people that much of the
cause of our dull business and uncer-
tain outlook is attributable to the way
our public affairs are conducted.
Il 4
Confidence In III city government
as at present constituted, with our
mayor in q foreign land, is entirely
lacking. Mayor Callaghan had at
least the merit OF doing things, even
If his methods were arbitrary and
high.handed.
The present city administration
dare not let a printing contract, or
elect q chief of the fire department.
The present city administration
dare not submit a proposition to Dor
row some more money OF bonds or to
tell what has become of the last
bonds or the money they brought.
\
No act OF our absent mayor would
tempt our city council to question his
absolute right to do lust as he pleases,
to 60 where he pleases, when he
pleases and stay away as long as he
pleases.
Had Col. Callaghan purchased a
ticket around the world, a trip that
would consume not much more time
than it will for him to look after Mrs.
Flores, our city council would have
kept as quiet as little mice until his
return.
The report of the late grand jury
wears we'll with our intelligent people;
every one feels that this jury made an
honest attempt to get at some of the
fragrant abuses of public trusts that
have become public rumor so large as
to become public facts.
That there should be a public Jour-
nal ora public man that would at
tempt to throw contempt or belittle
the action Of this sworn public inqui-
ton seems strange. They did not go
far enough say the critics.
Are not COL Callaghan's services
necessary for the proper conduct of
of affairs; if not why pay him a salary
and retain him in office.
=
Had Gov. Hogg known that our
mayor was indefinitely absent in
France, no doubt he would have con-
ferred his military honors on acting
Mayor Schreiner. Gov. Hogg believes
that the place for an officer-a servant
of the people-is at his post of duty.
\
The Grand Jury called attention to
the fearful management of our city
finances; they could not indict any
n for this, but it was their duty to
call attention to the Facts.
That the city through its mayor
was converting owe two hundred
thousand dollars at 6 per cent, on
notes to be paid out of last years
taxes.
In fact we are not only paying in
terest on our big bonded debt but in
terest on our cash receipts. Our in
terest bill is is enough to run q good
sized town alone.
The midsummer weather is not
productive of energetic action,-the
dull times are not inspiring, but there
should be an organized effort to put
In motion the forces of intelligent op-
position to the present state Of af-
fairs.
The citizens charter meetings
