The County Board for the Equalization
of Taxes will meet in the Court House
at four O'Clock this afternoon in exec
utive session. The Board has recently
visited the Township of West Hoboken,
Union Township, Weehawken and Gut
tepberg, for the purpose of examining
the assessments. They have examined
the assessors Of Weenawken, Gutenberg
and Township of Union. Today the Com
missioners will take up the assessments
of the Township of West Hoboken. hav-
ing visited that township last Friday.
1t is thought that percentage will be
added to all the above mentioned tax
be made to the list of ratables for the
Township of Weehawken. Inquiries have
been made for the list cf ratables in the
city and county. Touching that informal
ton, Clerk James e. Connolly of both
County and City Boards, Said:-
cit is impossible at this stage for either
the City or County Boards to strike
accurately the information you seek. "
The County Board knows the amount
of monies required to run the county
government That amount is S917, ,240 So.
The amount required to run the govern
ment, State and school tax funds Is $424
1888. Beyond this there is percent
age to be added and the rates and as
sessments of the several townships reg
ulated before any rate can be arrived at.
The statement in the tax budget that
the county tax for 1878 will be $50 is
ridiculed by those who are authorities
in fiscal matters. They positively assert
that it will be much less. Last year it
was $40 and an increase of 70 they state
is ridiculous.

PRECEDENT VERSUS GOOD SENSE

Especial to .sThe Jersey City News."1
NEWARK. August 2, 1S97.-There was
great deal of political talk last week and
the week before on the piazza of the Gov
ernors quarters at Sea Girt. and it was
especially vigorous when Vice-President
Hobart and Senator Sewell appeared on
Thursday The remark of Mayor Strong
of New York that Summer politics don't
amount to much was, however, applic-
able to the gossip at Sea Girt. There
was no conference of leaders, and, indeed,
there rarely is one where Senator Sewell
is concerned. He is not willing to COM
NIT himself long in, advance, and while 1t
has been constantly reported that the ap-
pointments made by Governor, Griggs,
which have been criticised by the Cover
nor's old supporters, were in pursuance OF
a bargain by which he was to be made
Senator in place of Senator Smith, it may
be stated with authority that General
Sewell has entered into no such arrange
ment Furthermore it is said that II ne
has any favorite the man is ex-Congress-
man Kean of Elizabeth, who is wishing
for the nomination. 1t is reported that
General Sewell is not among those who
regard Senator Smith as defeated man
mot yet.
Another Sea Girt report was that the
anti-spring election law would be de-
clared unconstitutional by the Court OF
Errors and Appeals, and that Governor
Griggs was responsible for this rumor. AS
the case has not been even considered by
the Court and as there are several Judges
whose views could not possibly have been
learned by the Governor, and as the inti-
nation by him would be an objectionable
breach of etiquette, no faith is placed IN
the details of the taae. 1t is. however,
true that lawyers gravely doubt whether
the Supreme Courts favorable opinion
will prevail in the upper court. 1t is
fsaid that while Justice Gummere's decis-
ion is regarded as good law. it is in con-
hict with the previous opinion of the
Court in the Essex county case, which
was made the basis of the law now in

precedent and that is in favor of the
fall election law. In any case the dec1S-

BATTLE WITH MOSQUITOES.
Louis King Got the Worst of It and
is in a Hospital.

Jersey mosquitoes have placed Louis
King in condition which seriously
menaces his life. He is in Gouverneur
Hospital with his eyes closed and his
face and head so swollen from mosquito
bites that, as DR.. Shields, of the hospital,
says, ..his head is as big as a pumpkin. ;"
King is a .pedler and lives in 1oding
house at No. So Bowery. On Saturday he
and another pedler went to Hoboken with
a horse and wagon and their wares to go
up the country. They had gone some
miles when they were attacked by
swarm of mosquitoes
Kings companion protected himself by
covering his head with blanket, but
King urged the horse on in an attempt to
get away from the pests. There was no
need to urge the horse, for he soon be-
came maddened by the mosquitoes. and
gaIloped off at such rate that King
his shirt sleeves and the mosquitoes stung
him about the neck, face and head until
he was all but crazed. His hands and
wrists were soon SWOLLEN to almost twice
their natural size, but he got the horse
under control and drove back to Hoboken.
On the return to this city Kings COM
panion left him, and the .pedler returned
relief from the bites with some healing
lotion He passed Saturday night in
agony and in the early morning his con-
dition was such that an ambulance from
Gouverneur Hospital was called.
Dr. Shields, who attended him, said the
hundred bites from mosquitoes, and that,
owing to a skin disease, from which he
had once suffered, the poison from the
bites made the case a serious one.

TURKEY NEEDS ANOTHER BRAoER

3 CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 2, 1887
From present indications the Powers
win be compelled to send another untima-
tum to Turkey.
The peace conference, as cabled to the
Associated Press last night, held a three
hours session on Saturday The Am
bassadors presented the remaining sec
tions of the draft of the treaty of peace,
including those providing for a limited
control of Greek finances and new ar
ticle defining the time and method of the
Turkish evacuation of Thessaly. There
upon Tewfik Pasha, the Tarsish Minister
for Foreign Affairs presented series of
amendments to all the articles previously
suggested. This action upon the part of
the Turkish Minister came as a surprise
to the ambassadors and is regarded as
meaning delay of two or three weeks in
the signing of the prelminaries of peace,
and it is further thought it will possibly
necessitate another threat in the nature
of an ultimatum.

Companies, The sum represented what
was due the several companies for light

When John NJ Jones was President of
the Board of Finance he opposed the pay
ment of the claims for the reason that
they were contracted in excess of a
specified appropriation.
Manager Robert Elliott has worked
sedulously since Mr.. Jones' retirement to
obtain the payment of the claims. They
originally amounted to $4,000, but $4,000
was agreed upon as a compromise.
The present Finance Board finally con-
sented to raise the required sum on tenn
porary loan bonds. That course was pur-
sued and the claims were audited
Last week warrants for s25, 1896 for the

A gentleman interested in the gas COM

paid for the warrants will, it is expected,
be signed by the Mayor.
