Mr.. EDITOR
Poor little Fair Play is immensely
amazed and fattered, to think that it has
taken Stroller two whole weeks to awake
and try to answer the few lines. Now,
Stroller, that dose was intended for your
good, but am sorry to see that you have
still some of the old chronic affection yet.
| can assure you that your case is hardly
beyond cure, and you have my full sym
patby; still | would advise you to Try some
OF our old grandmothers' remedies, such as
a dose of ipecac, squills, tacks or some other
harmless remedy; but don't get discour-
aged, for / do not think your case is en-
tirely hopeless only it has peculiar form,
Tor it seems to revolve round and about our
little Methodist Chapel In fact, l think
you see through glass darkly. But cour-
age, brother All things come to him who
waits.

State Board OF Assessors.

The State Board Of Assessors have con-
cluded that part of their annual report that
deals with miscellaneous corporations. The
assessment is made on 2377 corporations Of
all kinds, the largest number of which are
out Of the State. The capital stock of these
concerns ranges from $4,000 to $50, 900, 900
In the list there are over so corporations
that are capitalized for more than $1,000,
900. The American Sa gar Refining Com
pany, better known as the Sugar Trnst, is
the largest corporation. Its capital stock is
$40, 1885, 900, and it pays tax Of Sc 206.
There is noticeable change in the amount
of tax paid by them in former years.
In 1891 law was passed making per
cent. tax, including $3,0O0,o00, but above
that amount up to S5.000,000 it was one
twentieth Of per cent Over s50,0O0000,
and for each additional 81 ,0o0.000.th the lump
sum OF $50 was charged
This was done to encourage the large
combinations Of capital to incorporate in
this State. In former years the Sugar
Trust paid $49125, but under the new
schedule it pays only S62o6

Broad Street.

A special meeting of City Council was
held Tuesday evening to consider the ques-
ton Of acceptance and fixing the curb
and building line OF Broad street. All the
members were present and as Committee
of the Whole" examined the plan prepared
by Surveyor Carter.
Starting at Red Bank avenue the plan
provides for sixty-six foot street-forty-
six feet between curbs and ten feet side
walks. This width continues TO a point
opposite the Friends school house, where
there is slight angle from there to the
Court House corner the street is fifty-one
feet between curbs and fifteen feet side
walks; and from Newton's Hotel TO the
southern City line the width is fifty-six
feet between curbs and fifteen feet side
walks After thoroughly canvassing all
matters pertaining to the business under
consideration the Street Committee, with
the assistance of the Solicitor and Survey
or, Was instructed to prepare an ordinance
laying out Broad street, according to Sur
veyor Carter's plan, and submit the same to
the next meeting.
The paving question was talked aboutin
an informal way. While no action was
taken the drift of sentiment among the
members indicates that the provisions of
an act of the legislature of 1882, which ap-
plies to cities OF the Third class, are gain
ing in favor. Under this act cities of the
Third class are permitted to issue bonds
for the improvement of streets. The bene-
fits to property fronting on the street are
assessed to such property and the balance
is assumed by The municipality. The pro
portion assessed TO each property owner
may be paid Immediately or allowed to run
during the life of the street bonds. The
road bonds constitute a first lien against
the property.
