Mayor Strong is resolutely resolved
that for taxation purposes every par
eel of property in the city shall be as
sessed at its just valuation.
That is right
As preliminary step in this
great Reform measure-just to the
whole people, irrespective of party
the staff of the tax department, it is
announced, is to be almost entirely re-
cast. New blood is to be infused into
it, and there is to be general over
haling of the books. That too, is Il
proper and imperative procedure.
As merchant and banker Of long,
high and honorable standing, Mayor
Strong knows what has been going on
in the tax Il ,mr,m Mt. He is aware
of the inequality and injustice in the
matter of assessments that have pre-
vailed under Tammany maladminis-
tration, and his resolve to rectify
those abuses proves high moral cOur-
age, rectitude and fidelity to his
trust
The new assessment rolls, as com
pared with the existing one will, by
irrefutable facts and figures, open u

NEW YORK LETTER.


Surrogate Fitzgerald has granted
the application of George j. Gould
md the other executors of jay tfould
to send back to David Mcclure, M
appraiser, the question Of the apprnise'
ment Of the estate, 80 that report
may be made of the expenses OF the
administration of the estate hitherto
incurred, and IN estimate may be
given of tn expenses to be incurred
until the trusts created under the will
are fulfilled. Mr. Mcclure, as APP
prHiser, reported some time ago that
the value of the personal property was
$50, 934, $50. Tho real estate was
valued ut about ~ 600, 900. The mp.
praiser deducted So OO0, 900 from the
personal property us an Indebtedness
of the estate to George j. Gould, and
after deducting other payments the
total value of the residuary estate was
placed at S73, pa, 547. Mr.. Mcclure
did not make any allowances for
the commissions of The executors
or the expenses oi the adminstra-
ton Of the estates, Pending the set
Element Of this question the sum OF
5000, 900 was paid by the executors
into the State Treasury, under pro-
test, as the collateral inheritance tax.
Under the will the four executors re-
ceive each $40, 000a year as their com
missions. In addition, the expenses
OF the estate will be about $3.50, 600.
1t is claimed for the estate that all
these expenses should be deducted
from the residue before any tax is
fixed. Surrogate Fitzgerald says TINT
it has been the Uniform practice in
this county to allow the appraiser to
make deductions for the estimated
probable amount OF commissions
and expenses OF administration, and
that ii should be done in this case.
No wonder Gould kicks, but such
wranghng is enough to make the do
parted jay turn over in his grave.

The special committee of the Board
of Estimate which has been investigat
ing the finances of the Street Cleaning
Department and devising means to
meet the expected deficiency of 5000,
600 will soon report. 1t is under
stood that Col. Warning will get the
money necessary to keep the streets
clean and that it will be supplied by n
special issue of bonds. The Board of
Health will declare that the streets
must be kept clean as proper meas
IRE of protection. The law is strict
regarding the reOpening of the budg-
ct, but the Board of Health is author
lied, when circumstances demand it,
to call for an extra appropriation, and
the money must be raised by the sale
of bonds. In Col. Warnings case the
Health Board will declare the clean
ing of streets to be necessary to the
public health and will call on the
Board of Estimate for money for the
remainder of the year, and until Jan
! will ostensibly have charge of the
work, though it will be done by Col.
Warihg. There is always some hole to

One of the sharpest of all Legislative
conflicts for compulsory temperance
education in the public schools was
successfully closed i'll New York State
when Gov. Morton signed the bill for
strengthening amendments which
make compulsory the physiological
temperance education law, enacted II
years ago. This bill originated with
the Congregational Presbyterian,
Baptist and Methodist churches, which
together with other churches and
allied organizations, instructed their
temperance committees, MS n phase of
church temperance work, to petition
the late Legislature for the bill which
has Just become law The campaign
in which practically all the churches
OF the state were united, was put in
charge of Mrs. Mary H. Hunt of Bos-
ton, the we'll known leader of the
temperance education movement.

ALL THE RACES WITH A TURN.
A Feature That viii Make the Regatta
Ncxt Saturday Pleasing.

One thing perhaps more than any
other that will please the great crowd
Of people expected to witness the boat
races at Lake Ariel next Saturday Is
the fact that every race will start and
finish on the line directly opposite the
depot. The races will be rowed with
turn: that ia, they will start from stake
boats, each showing q different color
and ranged on q line. The scullers or
crews will row down the lake three
f0urths of q mile to q line Of buoys
stretching across the lake near Charles
J. Weichel's cottage. They will turn
these buoys. each crew turning the one
that it, color entities II to. and then,
having turned. vii come up the lake to
the finish at the starting line.
The start and finish will both be ex-
citing, and the race therefore more
gratifying to the public. There are
nine races; every one of them will be
rowed the same way. In them are to
appear the best oarsmen of America,
and look a. II all around the big event
Of Pennsylvania Labor Day-next Sat-
urday-is sure to make day Of much
pleasure.

TENDERS WERE INSPECTED.
Tho Mayor and City Engineer Looked
Over the Samples Now Deiug Tested.

Saturday. at the Linden street car
barn, Mayor Connell and City Engineer
phillips. on the part of the city. inspect
ed the tenders that the twenty or more
cars Of the Traction company have been
equipped with. General Manager Frank
Silllman, jr.. superintendent Fox and
Attorney Horace Z. Hand met them
and assisted In testing the Tenders.
1t will be noticed that three different
patterns appear on the different cars.
They were built by the Watson Ma
chine company. OF Paterson. N. j.; the
Summit Iron works. OF brooklyn, and
the Peck Motor and Truck company, of
Baltimore.
The mayor was quite well satisfied
with the inspection, but he commented
on the height the tenders are located
from the rail. The Traction officials
maintain that this cannot be overcome
owing to the heavy grades that have to
be contended against. If the cars were
double trucked the tenders could be
placed closer to the rails, close enough
to pick up bodies lying across the
tracks. Superintendent Fox declared
that double truck trolley cars would not
he able to climb the hills.
Among the other patterns that will
be tested Is the one invented by a resi-
dent of Green Ridge. Its advantages
are that pneumatic tubes will be used
on the front guard to break the force OF
the blow.
