VACCINATORS DISMISSED.
Com missiOner Emery Says Small
POx Is Under Control.

Health Commissioner Emery. OF Brook
Ign. announced this morning that he
had dispensed wiki the services Of
twenty-five special vaccnators, 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 month to each of these ply
sicians.
Those who were dismissed to-day were
the only remaining members of the stan.
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 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 10000 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.

white darted across the road, and at the
same time most unearthly groans and
cries proceeded from the dense wood
at the side OF the road. Miss keane has

OBJECT TO Personal TAXES.
Railroad Companies and Breweries
Enter Their Protests.
City Scores u Victory Over the At.
lantic Avenue Road.

At a 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 its capital stock.
The railroad companies have objected
to their stocks being taxed. and the At
lantic Avenue Company was one OF the
most persistent opponents to It. This
Company IL one of the corporations in
cluded in the Brooklyn Traction Com
pany, and has not paid any personal
taxes In years.
Some time ago the lawyers presented
a statement showing the Company's
condition to be such that it should not
be compelled to pay anything. The mat
ter was placed in the hands Of Assistant
Corporation Counsel Yonge. To-day II
became known that the Company had
admitted the city's right to tax its $780,
ooo capital stock and had agreed to pay
tax on $4,000 70 per cent. of that
amount.
Representatives of several large brew
lag companies attended the session of
the Board and objected to the assessment
on personal property.
Lawyer Nntermeyer on behalf OF the
otto Huber Brewing Company. said the
capital stock of II isconcern was $3.50, 900:
It's real estate was valued at Sl26,00O.
Inc Company's entire assets were $685.
