that the primary election officers selected
by Chairman Mautalen tor the Sixth Ward
polling-place next Saturday are Demo-
Gratis. They are: Charles Castera, Judge;
James Groegan, inspector, and Ed Farrell
clerk. The first two are the thirty-fifth

COUNTY TAX RATE.
Higher Than Last Year, But
the State Rate Reduces the
Total.

The Board of Supervisors will meet
Monday next at A. NJ. to fix the tax levy
for county purposes. This afternoon they
devoted to a general discussion OF the
matter and agreed that the rate will be 54.1
cents inside of incor porated cities, and
with 80 cents added for road purposes. ST.
cents on the outside. This, with the State
tax of 1919 cents for State purposes, makes
a 81 cent rate in incorporated towns and
cities and 81 80 outside.
The rate last year was 81 Is inside and
81 So outside, with the State at 6S.5 cents.
The rate this year is therefore slight in
crease, owing to the fact that $4,000 had
to be raised for a new bridge over the
estuary in anticipation of the removal of
the present ones by order of the War De-
partment, and about $4,000 for election
expenses, these both coming from the
general fund. Compared with last years
rate the apportionment of the levy is as
f0lI0ws.

appointed TO that Office by the Mayor, has
been making some suggestions as to how
the Police Department could be run with
the present force and yet have five more
men for patrol duty. In speakingo of the
subject he said:
my idea is to have an inclosed patrol
wagon, so that no one would be needed
besides the driver. Now there is a day
and a night man to accompany the patrol
10 care for prisoners, when If covered they
could be locked in. This is done in East
ern cities and works well.
"rhere are thirteen men about the City
Hall-the Chief, two captains, three detec-
tives, sergeant. a bailiff, a subpoena officer
and four officers. The Chief could as wall
do the work of one captain in the day time,
and the night captain could do his work
and that of the sergeant In this way a
captain. a sergeant ana detective could

VENEZUELAN COMMISSION.
Being Shown Every Courtesy BY Both Great
Britain and Venezuela.

Washington, Feb % The Venezuelan
commission has received intimatiou from
the Royal Geographical Society of Eng
land, through Clements X. Markham, its
president, that all maps and records of
that society will gladly be placed at the
disposal of the commission. A courteous
reply was sent, declining for the present
the Offer in view Of the Willingness al
ready officially expressed by the British
and Venezuelan governments to furnish
all necessary information. The sugges-
ton is made that it may seem desirable to
have Mr.. Markham invited to Washing
ton to appear before the commission and
give It's members the benefit of his long
familiarity with geographical matters.
Secretary Malet- Provost, today, said
that in his opinion two things were
guaranteed to the commission. First, that
all Information concerning the boundary
dispute in the possession Of any one was
to be free 10 the commission in England
rs well us in other countries, and second,
that the English people already recognized
that the Ii aiding Of the commission after
its deep researches was going 10 have n
great moral weight il nos Il legal binding
effect.
Mr.. Malet Provost also said he thought
the members were determined to make the
result of their lators decision which
would withstand the tuost violent partisan
assault, and that acting exactly as the
Supreme court would over any contest be
fore it, the opinion rendered would be
supp lrted by such argument as to carry
conviction to any reasonable mind, and
that DO matter what subsequent or CON
current negotiations took place. the line
drawn by President Cleveland S commits
sion would be adopted as the permanent
boundary between the two countries and
be supported by both.
