Railroad COMPANIES and Ereweries
\ Enter Their Protests.
City Scores a Victory Over the At
lnntic 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 Oh 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 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.
Some time ago the lawyers presented
a statement showing the Company S
condition to be such that 1t should not
be compelled to pay anything. The mat
ter was placed in the hands of Assistant
Corpora ion Counsel Yonge. To-day It
became known that the Company had
admitted the city's right to tax It's $780,
900 capital stock and had agreed to pay
tax on $4,000, 10 per cent. of that
amount.
Representatives of several large brew
Ing 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 h isconcern was $3.50, 900
lis real estate was valued at $l26, 600.
The Company's entire assets were $685.

amounting to s336s7.35. Mr.. Untermeyer
said the mortgage and the debts should
be deducted from the assets: that $67, OOC
OF the assets were mortgages on saloons
and were not worth more than 20 cents
on the dollar.
Then your Company is insolvent,'
said Assistant Corporation Counsel
Yonge.

peared before Justice Bartlett in the

THAT MT. VERNON ELECTION.
Justice Bartlett Holds that the Cam
vass Was Irregular.

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 TO- when tho 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
16 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 five out Of ten
Aldermen do not constitute a majority.
Justice Bartlett holds that Mayor
Brush's vote was null and void, and that
the canvass was irregular, and denies
Mr.. Lewis's application.

VACCINATORS DISMISSED.
Commissioners 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 10000 The
money had been wisely expended. and
as a result fully 100000 persons had been
vaccinated by the physicians attached
to the Department and by doctors lii
private practice. He says that there are
still 100000 people in the city who need
to be vaccinated, 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.
