TAX COMMISSIONERS ORGANIZE

The Hoboken Police Commissioners decid-
ed last night to open the sub-police station
at Twelfth street and Willow avenue. For
over a year the building has been vacant.
Commissioner Utz presented the resolution
last night that was passed opening the sub"
from June first, thencsforth the building to
be known as the '.Second Precinct Police
Station and the precinct to en-
brace all that territory north of Sixth
street. AT the same time the
office OF Chief of Detectives, now held by
aJack' Tanning. was abolished, and Tanning
was appointed Captain of the Second pre-
cinct, to take effect on the first day of June.
The Mayor and Chief of Police will make
the necessary transfers to the precinct OF
sergeants and roundsmen. The anticipated
removals could not be ascertained. The
opening of the "sub' is generally hailed with
delight by uptown citizens. The Mayor had
wanted the Free Library Trustees to use the
building to save the expense OF operating
another police station, but there was a hltcn
somewhere and the matter never reached a
focus.
James Scanlon. Chief of the Secrect Ser
vice Detective Agency of New York, last
night lodged complaint against Captain
Hayes for interfering with two of Scanlons
men. on April "a, in the discharge OF their
duty, hindering them in the capture OF
counterfeiters. Scanlon stated that James
Esauirrell and Thomas Gallaghan were
tracing counterfeiters when they were ar
rested by Policeman How, on complaint OF a
cigar dealer. They were locked up for four
hours and lost track of their men. Com
missioners Utz and Smith were appointed a
committee to investigate.
Hoboken Tax hoard Organized.
The Hobokea Tax Board organized last
night by electing Aaron Baldwin, Chairman,
and john O'Hara, Secretary. From present
indications some of the Hoboken city
boards will experience hard times in secur-
ing desired appropriations. The board con-
siders the School ana Fire boards extrava-
CANT, and the street cleaning and paving de-
partrnents likewise. The commissioners
discussed this matter at length. The depart
ments mentioned expended moneys ap-
they drew it for, which has in
creased the displeasure of the board.
The secretary was directed to communi-
cate with all the city departments to ascer-
tain what appropriation they want. He was
told to find out what the Martin act collec-
tions during the past year were, and to re-
port what Colonel E.. A. Stevens is taxed for
his property. He will find from the Comp
troller what state bonds fall due this year
and all other indebtedness. Commissioner
Brown presented a resolution that the col
~lections received from the Martin act be
placed in deposit as a sinking fund to meet
bonds falling due next year;
The matter was tabled, but will
be passed at the next meeting. The Mayor
will be requested to attend the next meet :
ing. The board was to have adjourned I'M
til Thursday night. when one of the mem
bers remembered that Barnum's Circus
came to Hoboken. SO it was changed to to-
morroW night.
