MANY MUNICIPAL MATTERS.
ACTION BY ALDERMEN,P POLICE AND
 ROAD COMMIssIONERs.

Patroin,sn Nichols Retirement-More Pos lice Protection wanted-Dangerous Side
 waiks Reported-No Final Action Taken
 on Estimates.
 At the meeting of the police commis- sioners last night all the commissioners were present. and Commissioner Hum presided in the absence of Mayor sar- gent. Patrolman William II. Nichols. who is doing duty at station No. 3. asked to be placed on the retired list of the department at salary of $500 per year. Officer Nichols is fifty~nine years old. and has been doing police duty continuously since 1865, during which time he has been one of the most faithful and efficient officers in the department. The members of the board, in view of the circumstances, ordered him to report to the board of police surgeons for examination.
 It was also voted that hereafter all the members of the board of police sur geons shall report to the superinten- dent when patrolmen. who are being treated by them for sickness of any nature, are able to return to duty.
 Patrolmen Bellman and P. Doherty were allowed three days and nine days pay, respectively, for time they were compelled to lose in consequence of in- juries received while in the discharge of their duties. Patrolman John H. Moore was also allowed thirty-six and a half days pay for time lost in conse- quence of injuries to his thumb.
 In view of the fact that the cases of this nature are increasing rapidly, and there is practically no chance for in- vestigation as to the merits of the case, the commissioners decided to adopt a new method in dealing with such cases. Hereafter all claims made by patrol men for time lost or injury to their clothing, etc., are to be referred to the committee on finance for investigation, after which the committee will report back to the full board.
 Henry A. Street of 397 Temple street appeared before the board and asked for better protection in the vicinity of his home. He stated that night was made hideous by crowds of drunken scientific school students, who congre- gated on Temple street and made so much noise that it was impossible for the residents in the vicinity to sleep. He also claimed that on three occasions fires had been in front of his house, and twice when he demonstrated the students had threatened to kill him. The matter was referred to Su- perintendent Smith for action, after which the board adjourned
 BRIEF ALDERMAN1C ACTION.
 The session of the board of aldermen last evening was unusually brief, the only business transacted being that of a concurrent nature with the action taken by the board of councilmen in transferring $4,200 from the amount ap- propriated to pay land damages to Mrs. Catherine Delaney, whose property was damaged by the extension of Union avenue.
 The estimates for the next fiscal year were taken up, read and in accordance with the provisions of the charter tabled for printing, after which the board adjourned until next Thursday evening December 13, when the esti- mates will be taken up and acted upon.

A WRITER.

He had no knowledge Of the world.
At best his fancy only curled,
Smokelike. about suburban things
de may have known "the soul has wings. '
But IL he did he never caught
The obvious moral of the thought.
He never soiled his well shod feet
In mud and offal Of the street.
He never knew a woman's soul
To ruin or to make him whole.
He never heard the old worlds cry
Athwarf his narrow strip of sky.
Nor ever learnt in bush or strife
The simple alphabet of life.
But the high gods to plague US men
Had given him a ''facile PEN"
And so through life he calmly went,
Pressing placid discomfort,
Or TO increase our primal curse
Skreeling in dithramic verse.

The Income Tax.

The full text of the internal revenue
bill. including the inn .ortant income tax,
has been agreed upon by the Democratic
members of the WAYS aud means com
mittee. \ compl tie summary of the cs
sential features of the tax as it will be
submitted follows
The bill provides that the income tax
is to 20 into effect Jan. |, 1888, and that
the first collection on incomes il to be
made July /, 1888. All classes of in
comes are included in the measure. and
the uniform rate of , per cent tax on in
comes over $1,000 is fixed.
The most important detail of the bill is
the method provided for the levying and
collection of taxes. 1t is made 0blga-
tory on all persons receiving individual
incomes of over $500 to make return
to the local collector of internal revenue.
No tax is levied on those making re-
turn under $1,000. In case IA person hay
ing an income of over $500 fails to
make n return, it becomes the duty Of
the revenue assessor to make inquiry as
to the amount of the persons income.
If this explanation discloses that the
income is above $1,000, The income j.
subjected to twice the ordinary tax
under the law, ana the party failing to
make his return is deemed guilty of Il
criminal otlense and is made subject to
fine and imprisonment.

Dunn says the gain is slow and the
increase in the purchasing power OF Tie

by the loss through the reduction OF

The legislature of 1873 enacted a law
substituting the town system for the
district system in school affairs which
goes into effect MAJ ell lst., and this time
is drawing near. The law involves tho
of all school property in the
several districts, the inhabitants being
assessed to pay it. Then II sum equal to
TIE value of the property will be divided
pro rata among the districts. The object
of this is to equalize the ownership OF
school property. Some districts have
fine school buildings which the citizens
taxed themselves 10 erect, while Others
have houses which are not more than
sheds. 1t would hardly be fair to turn
this property all over to the town. hence
the equalization.
