REPAVING ACT WIPED OUT.
Camden and Hoboken Had No Right
to Issue Bonds.

Especial to t"The Jersey City News.''1
TRENTON, Dec. 2, 1Sg.-Supreme Court
Justice Garrison today filed an opinion
declaring unconstitutional the act of April
9. 1896, which authorized cities of the
second class to issue bonds amounting
to 5000. 900 to defray the expense of
repaving streets. The case was heard
at the present term by justices Garrison
and Lippincott. The decision is based on
the same contention that prevailed in
the decision in the Macarthur Election
law. that there is no reason why the law
should not apply to cities OF all classes,
that there was nothing in the object
Of the act that was peculiarly applicable
to cities of one class, to the exclusion
of cities of other classes, and that there
was no reason for limiting the act to any
class.
a Hoboken taxpayer. who opposed the
repaving. The law was passed for the
benefit of Hoboken, but Camden and
Trenton have taken advantage OF 1t.
Camden, under the act, gave out con-
tracts for the repaving of six OF the
principal streets. When these bonds were
awarded some question was raised as 10
the constitutionality of the act, but con-
tractors voluntarily agreed to a the
bonds for the contracts, and II was not
deemed necessary to test the act IN the
courts. Mayor Westcott. however, pelng
advised that the bond issue was Illegal,
refused to approve the contracts.
Hoboken has already laid some Of the
improved p~avements, and representatives
Of that civ. together with others from
Trenton and Camden. will join hands in
an effort to secure remedial legislation
at the hands Of the coming LEGISLATURE.
It is proposed in Camden TO secure an
amendment to the charter, by which the
citv,s limit of Indebtedness may be raised
beyond 81, 900, 900. There is such a uni
yeTsal reasonable move for legally secur-
ing them would be heartily sanctioned by
the people.

TAX APPEALS FILED.

Of-Sehlessenger's
is Fees. sYIf &

The Commissioners of Appeal in Cases
of Taxation held their first meeting yes
terday evening from five o'clock until ten
o'clock. There were filed for revision
about one hundred appeals. Property
owners complained more about the in
creased valuations than the rate. A great
tax assessments. 1t is probable thai there
will be more trouble over the personal tax
assessments than those on realty.
The action of the clerk of the Board,
Alexander Schlessinger, in charging a fee
of % cents for every affidavit made to an
appeal for reductions from assessments
caused the Board to adopt the follow
ing !.
"Whereas, It has come to the notice of
this Board tina its clerk has exacted a fee
from persons having made application Tor
a reduction from assessments made BY the
city for taxes for the fiscal year lo9l-9o F,
and
Whereas, This Board believes that the
said clerk did receive such fees with the
understanding that as a notary public he
was entitled to the same, and this Board
considering that any application made TO
it for a reduction or correction in the as
sessments for taxes should be received by
the Clerk without expense or charge to
the applicant, therefor
Resolved, That in such cases where the
ClcTk has TGCHtfSQ oily z thC lanAAi6
of an affidavit of any applicant for q re-
duction of taxes, that he be directed to
refund such fee.
The clerk explained that he misunder-
stod the directions of the Commissioners,
which were that he should not under any
circumstances charge any applicant any
thing for making an affidavlt to an ap-
peal. In future, while the Board is not
in session, persons desiring to obtain APP
peal blanks may do SO by applying at the
office of the Boar of Tax Commissioners.
The Board of Appeals will meet every
Tuesday and Friday, afternoon from two
until five o'clock, and Wednesday evening
from five until nine o'clock. William H.
Speer, counsel for Mahlon Terhune, clerk
of the old Board of Appeals, made a de.
mand last night for the reinstatement of
Mr.. Terhune. Terhune contends that he
wa appointed for a year and for that
reason holds that he ould be clerk of
the present Board. Until last night Mr.
Terhune had not made a demand for re-
instatement nor has he at any time of
fered his services to the Board. Through
his counsel Mr.. Terhune proposes suing
for salary for the months Alexander
Schlessinger has acted as clerk
