THE STATE TAX BOARD.
No VexatiOus Legal Complication at
This Session.

This morning the first regular session of
the State Board of Tax Commissioners will
begin. The Indianapolis Union Railway
Company, represented by A. A. Zion. the
Evansville & Newburg, the Louisville &
Nashville and the Evansville Terre
Haute roads will be given a hearing with
reference to the taxes that have been as
sessed against them in this State, which,
they allege, are too high
Yesterday morning the board held brief
session for organization, with Governor
Mount, Secretary of State Owen, Auditor of
State Daily and Commissioners Walker and
Buskirk present Leo Rothschild, of the
auditors office, administered the oath. w.
II. Hart. deputy auditor, was made secre-
tary of the board. A short time ago Com
missioner Walker visited various counties of
the State on behalf of the board to observe
whether the county boards of review were
complying with the law and performing
board yesterday that in Jay county he found
the local board had met but four days of
the twenty required by law for the hearing
of appeals. He called the board together and
presented the law, when an additional sit
ting of sixteen days was held to hear tax
payers who wished to appeal.
The board will have before it none of the
vexatious legal complications that attended
its last sittings, as all suits brought by cor
with reference to taxati ton and assessments
have been decided by the courts in favor of
the board. 1t is not supposed that new
questions will be raised.

The work will be done under the supervi-
sion of inspectors appointed by the govern
ment. The engraved dies will be furnished
by the government. Payment for stamps
required with application for imprinting.
A telegram received from Senator Charles
W. Fairbanks, announces that Levey Bros.
& Co., of this city, have been appointed by
the government to imprint internal revenue
stamps on checks. drafts, ard orders, as
will be required by the passage OF the re-
cent revenue act by Congress. Levey BROS
& Co. have been engaged several weeks IN
endeavoring to secure this permission from
the government, and through the influence
of Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana, ana the
recommendation of thousands of their BANK
customers throughout the United states
they have been granted the privilege.
This is considered a great concession Tor
indianapolis, as only five other cities, New
York, Chicago, St. Louis, San Francisco
and Atlanta, have the permission TO imprint
revenue stamps, and 1t is quite prooaDie
that indianapolis would not have been so
favored, had it not been for the large bank
business controlled by Levey Bros. & Co
The expense of preparation In establishing
a government stamp agency for 1mprlntlng
revenue stamps is considerable, the con-
tractor having to bear all the expenses, pro-
NlQe all the necessary machinery, anu pay
the salaries of the government inspectors
All the dies for the work of printing stamps
are furnished by the government, and all
the work will be done under government
supervision, by inspectors appointed for the
purpose.
The government will require the payment
for revenue stamps to be made with the
application for imprinting same, and upon
receipt of the required amount, the order
for the imprinting of the stamps Will De
issued to the inspector.
I4evey Bros. & Co have already received
a number of orders for imprinting stamps
on checks and drafts and as soon as the
plates arrive, and the inspectors are APP
pointed the work will be begun, and while
the demand for imprinting stamps will no
doubt be very great in the beginning. still
the large capacity of Levey Bros & Co. will
no doubt be equal to all demands

Street Must Have Licensed Pilots
"A Surveyor Here.

The shipping and marine, the docks and
wharves and the seagoing folk of Indian
apoliS have all become an adjunct of the
port of Evansville. They are to be licensed
and registered, and they will soon have
just as much right to wear oil skins and
talk about different directions of ''westers"
as any seaman who sails the briny deep.
Further than this all vessels which navi-
gate The waters around Indianapolis win
shortly hail from the port of Evansville.
Even the tug OF the Indianapolis Water
Company, which cuts its way through the
turbulent pillows of the canal and White
river, must have it's name painted on the
main beam, General Morris, of Evans
VILE" Walter S. Viele, one of the Evans
vile surveyors, was here yesterday and re-
ceived fees of five dollars from each of the
owners of the Indianapolis craft, and APP

the Indianapolis boats and examine those
who man them The men on the launches at

selves to be citizens of the United States.
The boats and their machinery will all be
thoroughly examined to determine their
seaworthness. Numbers will be carved on
the bows of all the boats and these numbers
must be allowed to remain as long as the
timbers hold together. Each boat must
be equipped with life preservers and full
fire apparatus besides the numerous other
appliances for safety which the government
requires. After all this is done, and the
licenses are granted, any of the boats have
the privilege of sailing on any water and
entering any port.
The men who are employed on the Sun
shine, at Broad Ripple. are already licensed.
The boat is also provided with life preserv-
ers and fire apparatus The boiler has been
found to be in the best condition and she is
ready for the inspectors whenever they may
come.

A quarrel of some standing between Bert
Bradley, foreman of a livery stable at 222
East Wabash street, and Henry Eiks, a
stable hand at the same place, eliminated
yesterday in fist fight between the two.
Eiks, who is much the younger of the two,
was worsted and showed an eye of more
than normal dimensions at the police sta
ton, where both men were brought by the
bicycle patrolmen. Bradley claims that Eiks
makes himself very disagreeable ana at
times is insulting. Bradley was before the
police several weeks ago for a different
phase of the same difficulty.
