The Tax Question,

The delegates from this county who at
uded the Tax Convention are reported by the
Baltimore "News" as expressing their views to
a rtpOlter as follows:
G. G.. Magrudel, delegate-at rye from
this county, said: 81 consider the object OF
this convention the most important question
now before our people. What should be
done, the consensus of the people clearly in
dictates. but the difficult problem is the recon
mendalion of legislative action which will
come within the limits of the constitution.
am heartily in favor of reassessment, and
b,,Ieve the interest that this convention will
arouse in the State through the medium of
the press will lead to the best results. 1t is
also my opinion that this has been "a wise
m We ON the part Of the Governor for these
reasons. The action of the convention last
night iE moving slowly, is in perfect harmony
with the nature of the methods to be pursued.
weeks consideration must familiarize the
delegates with the work which it is intended
at they shall outline and add wisdom to
their future deliberations"
j. E. Ralston, president Of the Hyattsville
Single Tax Association, said: II do not
think there will be any eff)rt on the part OF
tie Single Tax people to thrust their idea OF
taxation upon the convention. In my opin-
ion, the work of the assembly will lead to good
results in the freedom of taxation, for the rea
So, i will put the proper construction
upon some of the constitutional provisions
which now have tendency to retard the
growth and advancement of the State"

THE TAX LEVY.
A Heavy Slash Made in the School
Department Fund.

The Finance Committee of the Board of
Supervisors were again locked in secret
session all day yesterday, and went all
down the list Of municipal appropriations.
The main object in cutting down the
Auditors estimates was to provide as much
as possible for the Fire Department Fire
Commissioner Schmidt and Chief Sullivan
were before the committee in the morning
and were closely questioned by Supervisors
Denman and James.
Chief Sullivan informed the committee
that it was absolutely necessary to take
immediate action in reference to providing
Ash bury Heights with an engine.
After going over the question it was re-
solved, on motion of Denman, to give i'm
mediate protection to Ashbury Heights
An authorization for S1295 a month was
passed to provide for a third-class engine
and truck to be stationed at AShbury
Heights.
Iu cutting down from the estimates of
other departments. big slash was made
at the School Department fund. Il was
resolved TO allow the public schools only
$1,000, 600, although S1,178.000 was asked
for. The Auditor allowed the department
81. .050,O 600, which. with their S125, 900 sur
plus, would give them almost what they
asked for.
About $4,000 was almost Topped off the
Street Department appropriation.
In al 1t was found that by cutting from
other departments, about S124 900 could be
added to th- Fire Department fund.
Mayor Ellert will be in attendance on
the Finance Committee this morning, and
he will 60 over all the figures. The levy
must be approved and signed by the Mayor
by next Sunday night, and he may make
whatever objections he has to the lew.
as proposed. before the committee to-day.

FOOD FOR PRISONERS.
Suit Against the Board of Supervisors
for Breach of Contract.

Sophie Uri and Kaufman Wertheimer.
trading under the style of F. Uri & Co.,
filed suit yesterday against Mayor Ellert
and the Board OF Supervisors.
The suit is the outcome of notice pub
lished in the Report on May 2S OF this
year, entitled proposals for subsistence
of prisoners, inviting sealed proposals for
contracts for supplies. Several answers
were received, among which U ri & Co.
fixed their bid at %. 10 cents.
The plaintiffs claim that their bid was
accepted, in spite of the fact that it was
the highest on the list. They claim that
the quality of the samples submitted greatly
pleased the Supervisors, and that the
Health and Police Committee, on present
ing their report. strongly recommended the
acceptance of Urls bid, and th at formal
ac eptance thereof, on $4,000 bonds to be
furnished by the contractors, was pub
llshed in the papers.
Since then the plaintiffs claim that an.
other meeting of the Supervisors was held,
at which theirs and all other bids were
formally rejected. ana the question, at the
motion of Supervisor Denman, indefinitely
postponed. So Uri & Co. have filed suit
asking the Superior Court to hold the Sa.
pervisUrs TO their alleged contract.

A MISSING BOND.
1t Is Declared Forfeited, but Cannot
Be Found.

BE round.
Peter Won Rulohvo5 baskie, who has been
implicated in number of land swindling
operations, was arrested on Decem Der 7
last on warrant from Police Court 2,
charging him with obtaining money under
false pretenses. The complainants were
William Kelley and Joseph Wielan, and
the amount involved was 5000. Peter was
arrested two days afterward. and on De-
cember 81 he was released on $1,000 bonds
accepted by Superior Court Judge Trout.
Yesterday morning Prosecuting Attorney
O'Keefe of Police Court drew the courts
attention to Peters case.
THE prosecution" he said, "has been
at considerable expense in bringing wit
nesses from Bakersfield at various times in
this case. but the defendant has never ap-
peared nor has any counsel appeared for
him. | am inclined to think he will never
appear in this court and | would ask that
his bond be declared forfeited"
1T is so ordered" said Judge Conlan.
Judge Trout was communicated with
and called at the Police Court. lie said
be had no recollection of accepting the
bond. and if he had done so it would have
passed out of his hands into the hands of

time the bond was accepted by Judge
Trout ex-Clerk Mahoney was in Office in

every indication that it is, who is RESPONSE

they are not responsible for bonds accepted
by Superior Court Judges. The bond is
presented at the City Prison and the prs-

What becomes of the bond is outside of
their jurisdiction, as the Judge accepting
it is supposed to place it in the custody of
