Railroad Companies and Breweries
Enter Their Protests.

At meeting of the Board OF Assessors
of Brooklyn to-day the fact was learned
that the city had gained an important
victory in its attempt to compel the At
lantic Avenue Railroad Company to pay
personal taxes on It's capital stock.
The railroad companies have objected
to their stocks being taxed. and the At
landc Avenue Company was one of the
most persistent opponents to 1t. This
Company is one of the corporations in
cluded in the Brooklyn Traction Com
pany. and has not paid any personal
taxes in years.

statement showing the Company s
condition to be such that II should not
be compelled to pay anything. The mat

Ing companies attended the session of
the Board and objected to the assessment
on personal property.
Lawyer Nntermeyer, on beha.f of the

Justice Bartlett, in two decisions hand
ed down in the Supreme Court. Brooklyn,
to-day has assisted materially in the
unravelling of the election snarl in Mount
Vernon.
Ever since MAY IS. when the election
was held, Edison Lewis, Republican, and
Edwin w. Fisk have been fighting for
the Mayoralty; meanwhile Mayor Brush
has held ove-.
In ole of the decisions Justice Bartlett
allows an alternative writ Of mandamus
to issue to try the questions of fact as
to two disputed ballots cast in the Sec
ond District of the Fourth Ward.
On the other decision His Honor denies
the application of Edison Lewis, Repub-
lican, to compel Mayor Brush to hand
over the Mayoralty on the ground that
the vote was properly canvassed on May
Is by the Board of Aldermen.
At the meeting in question but five
Aldermen were present out of ten. They
were Republicans. Mayor Brush is a
Republican also.
MIR. Fisk claims that quorum was
not present. He says Ave out of ten
Aldermen do not constitute a majority.
Justice Bartlett holds that Mayor
Brushs vote was null and void, and that
the canvass was irregular, and denies
Mr. Lewiss application.

VACCINATORS DISMISSED.
Commissioner Emery Says Small
POx Is Under Control.

Health Commissioner Emery. Of Brook
Ign. announced this morning That he
had dispensed with the services of
twenty-five special vaccinators, who
were appointed during the recent small
pox epidemic. The Commissioners ac-
ton was due to the fact that all danger
from the disease had passed, and there
was no further necessity for the city
paying SIS a month to each of these ply
sicians.
Those who were dismissed to-day were
the only remaining members of the staff.
Commissioner Emery said that he esti-
mated that the recent outbreak of small
pox had cost the city about $4,000 The
money had been wisely expended. and
as a result fully 10000 persons had been
vaccinated by the physicians attached
to the Department and by doctors in
private practice. He says that there are
still 100000 people in the city who need
to be vacclnated. but the health officials
have the disease under perfect control.
and with proper care there will be no
severe outbreak for many years. At
present there are only seven smallpox
patients in the hospital.
