Good Work of the City Board-The Un-
known Factor.
Tax Commissioners Clarke, Prigge and
GormaB ara struggling with the tax
assessment problem still. These gentle
men have labored industrinusly and
studiously with the hope of equaiizing
the assessments and depriving
Mayor Wanser's political Board of Ap-
pealS OF the pleasure of making whole
sale slaughter of their assessments. The
Tax Commissioners have been assisted in
their labors by real estate experts, and if
any attemLt is made by Mayor Wanser's
Board to undo their work, rsmonstrances
of a nature that will startIe them will be
made. Tax Commissioner German is
hopeful that the tax rate this year will
be reduced. In speaking today of the
work accomplished by his Board, he
said
''We have done our work well. We
have done no guessing and If the assess
ments are kept up to the standard we
have them at present. the tax rate will be
reduced. Last years rate was
SIS. 40 on the thousand. We have raised
valuations that were too low and we de-
creased some that experts maintained
were trifie too high. The outlook is
fair for a reduction in the tax rate,
unless some foreign interference is
brought to bear on the matter and then
wholesale reductions, such as have been
made, will make the rate as high as last
year If not highern

NEW JERSEY BUILDING.
The Washington Headquarters to be
Reproduced at Chicago.
Special to the JERSEY ctr Ns,us.

TRENTON. July 10. 1892.-The designs
for the New Jersey building at the
Chicago Fair were recently sent to
Chicago for approval. The specification
will probably be given out very shortly.
and as soon as the contracts are made,
work will be pushed rapidly toward COM
pletion. The building will be practically
reproduction of the old Washington
Headquarters at Morristown as far as the
exterior is concerned.
he design of the front of the building
IS very close copy of this historic struc-
tnre.v The interior will be considerably
changed. however, to meet the present
requirements and In other respects mod
ernized. The Washington Headq quarters
at Morristown is colonial building with
two full stories and an attic. The main
portion OF the structure has five bays,
the central bay containing the entrance,
which is reached by a short flight Of
stairs. There is but one wing In the
original building.
SLIGHT ALTERATIONS.
In the design made by Charles A. Gif-
ford, the architect of the New Jersey
building. the principal change in the
front elevation has been the addition of
another wing to the building, making it
more symmetrical than the original.
Mr. Clifford has in other respects,
however, followed the principal ele-
walton of the Morristown building as
closely as possible, both in design and
scale The building he has designed will
be eighty-five feet long, including the two
wings, and thirty feet deep. 1t will
be hanked on one side by the Rhode
Island building and on the other by the
Connecticut building.
THE INTERIOR.
The interior will have an assembly hall
running through the building, and tax
ing up considerable portion of the two
main stories. A gallary will run around
the hall on the second story. The right
wing will be used as the head
quarters of the lady managers.
An historical exhibit may be
provided i'll the spacious hall and some of
the lal ger rooms, although nothing de-
finite has yet been decided about this. In
the other wing there will be the commits
sion and secretary's Office. board room,
room for visitors aud smoking room. In
the rear there will be large piazza,
There will be fireplace in the main hall,
which will probably be reproduction
of the one in the old building. It
is proposed to use the productions of
the State as far as possible in the
construction of the building, and New
Jersey brick, tile and terra Gotta and
able that in the exterior work staff will
be used. It is a sort of plaster, which is
used in large amount of the work being
erected for the fair. 1t is put on soft. and
can be modelled in any form to represent
wood or other material. 1t is not consid-
cred very durable, but will last during
the time of the fair
