TAX COMMISSIONERS MEET
RECORDS IN THE Tx COLLECTORS
OFFICE SEARCHED.
Work Will be Continued on Monday Even
ing-Public Hearing Next Wednesday,
Delinquents Must Pay.

ing-Public Hearing Next Wednesday,
Delinquents Must Pay.
Few commissions have ever work.
ed more assiduously in their efforts to
perform the duties expected of them
than has the joint commission OF the
appointed to inquire into the delin-
quency of those taxpayers who are
indebted to either or all of these gov
ernments.
The books in the collectors Office have
been audited and gone over with pains
to find out who owed these taxes and
as soon as this was found out the
parties were cited in to explain the
reason why these claims were allowed
to remain so long unpaid. Notice was
sent to all in arrears between the years
1893 TO 1876 Many who had been al
lowing the taxes of the different years
to pile up went to the collectors office
and paid them, thinking that the ap-
pointing of the commission with ex-
tended power meant that there should
be no more dilly dallying.
Each meeting of the commissioners
was attended by less number of
claimants. Many of these told pitiful
stories to the members of the commits
sion, but nearly all agreed that if one
half the claims entered against them
be abated they could pay the balance.
A minute of what they said was made
and the cases considered. Those who
came before the committee formed but
small percentage of those who had
leins against them and letters to the
clerk explaining the inability of the
writer's to make up the delinquencies
were received every day. These were
considered as we'll as the testimony Of
those who appeared in person. This
work the tax commission has finished.
| The session of last evening which
was held in the tax collectors office
was for the purpose of examining the
books and taking from them names of
those who will be cited in to show
| reason why they should not pay. AL
most twenty years will be included in
the time many of the delinquents have
| allowed the arrearage to accumulate.
Commencing with 1898 and going back
| ward to 1876 all who now owe either Of
the governments will be cited before
the committee at its meeting next
Wednesday evening, 1t was under
stood last evening that in a few cases
the committee will not press the suit.
Those who will be entitled to clemency
will be notified and their named drop
ped from the books
Those who can show no good and
valid reason why they should not pay
will be notified to do so as soon as con-
venient before the first day of next
July After that time there will be no
| notice sent until process for collection
| is got out. The commission got through
A and B of the list last evening. On
Monday evening it will try to finish
the work and on Wednesday evening
there will be a public hearing.

grand jury brought in true bill
against Edward Rogers at 5 o'clock
this afternoon for murder in the first
degree. They had been in session since
the opening of the session this morning

same that were on the stand at the
coroners investigation in Cobalt. The
testimony introduced was also iden-
teal Rogers could not be arraigned
tonight, ae the court adjourned imme-
diately after the grand jury came in.
He will probably be brought before, the
court tomorrow morning for arraign-
ment. 1t is stated that he will not be
tried at this term of the superior court.
The DoStnonement of the trial till the
September term will also give the coun
sci for the defense more time to pre-
pare his side of the case. The man who
will defend Rogers is Il. G.. Wooster Of
New Britain. He was at the court
house to-day but did not appear before
the jurors The court house was crowd
ed during the afternoon. Nearly all re-
manned till the bill of the grand jury
was read Rogers appeared much the
same as he did at the time of his ar
rest excepting that his face is covered
with a fuzzy beard. When taken into
custody he wore no other beard that a
mustache. He was unconcerned dur
ing the entire time that he was at the
court house and seemed to in no wise
to heed the stare of the crowd.

Public Urgency Claimed.

Boston, April SIT is understood the
parties who control the Boston railway
charter claim that there is a public
urgency for what they propose to do.
This is in brief, first, to construct an
electrical railway to connect the pro-
posed southern Union station with that
in Causeway street, the structure to be
sufficiently strong to carry railway
passengers and baggage cars, so that
through passengers can be carried
across the city. This is one project
Another is to build a subway beginning
near the corner of fremont street and
Shawmut avenue, probably to run un"
der fremont street, to form a connect
ing link in an electrical line from Rox-
bury to Charlestown. This subway is
to be entirely independent of the Bos-
ton subway.
