Appe ais from Assessments.

John S. Roisell has fled appeals against
tho assessments Of properties in charge Of
the Security Trust and Safe Deposit Com
pany. The appeal In each case roads as
follows:
"A reduction in the assessment Of the
above property 10 respectfully asked for
the reason that IL Is greater han the 'es-
timatcd value Of the property Gss0s5cd, II
sold fer cash, the assessor in making said
assessment having exceeded tho authority
yestal In him by law
In support Of this appeal reference Is
here made to section 50 Of the city charter,
which provides that the assessment OF real
estate shall be made accordiDg to a certain
rate ip and upon every hundred dollars Of
tho estimated value OF the property az
sesssd, If sold for cash
1.-The Board of Assessment Revision
and Appeals is, therefore, respectfully
asked to revise said assessment and reduce
she same to nh amount eqEal to the es-
timGted value Of tho property, Il sold for
cash" There have been number Of ap-
pcals entered so far and tho Board Of
Assessment, Revision ana Appeals will
Sit each day until the end Of tine month to
hoar them. The claim ia made, and has
been for o long time that tho o:slnenL
Of property in the city has been unequal.
II Is alleged that In CASES OF snail and
medium size houses, tho assassin nt has
been above The price at which Tho proper
ties would sell for cash, while in tho case
Of large and more valuable properties the
assessment has in some cassa boon below
the actual price.
TO meet those rases the Board Of Assess
ment, Revision ard Appeals sits md
hears appeals, but IL the past the beard
his asnorally upheld the assessors in thGiI
work. The company wh'cll has fled the
last petition, however, has mJre property at
ineroit and has alsG appealed in a differ
cnt way than most appeals have been
made, inasnuch rs it has quoted tho law
under which thu appeal from the assess

SUBMARINE MINES.
Mayor Raymond Says There are None yet
In the Delaware River. No Defences
at LcWeS


The reported establishment Of snbma.
rine mines in the Delaware river, near
Fort Delaware, has been the cause OF con-
siderable alarm to sbad fishermen whose
season Is now well started, and TO others,
who fear interference with their vocation
in tho vicinity OF the mines Majoy Ray
mond, the United States Engineer Officer
in charge Of the defences Of the Delaware
river, was asked yes crday what ground
there was for their fears, and how the
planting OF the mines would interfere
With the navigation
Major Raymond said that, of course. no
submarine mines have yet been planted In
the river When 1t is done due notice will
4. I'VE are ready" said he. ito establish
the mining defence at a moments notice.
and the work can he done before n hostile
! vessel can possibly ascend tho river"
In reply to tho question whether tho
mines would not be dangerous to friendly
vessels, Major Raymond said that they
would dot be dangerous il tho river was
navigated under strict regulations
AS soon as the river Is mined" lie
said, "all navigation between sunset AMI
sunrise will have TO DO suspended No
vessel could safely pass through our mino
fields unless conducted by u confidential
pilot of tho Government. Tho locations
OF the mines VIII be known only by tne
engineer officers and the commanding
officers ~ tho forts"
The superstition Is that when the mines
have been established at Fort Delaware,
guard boats will DO placed on duty above
and below the field to hale vcs sells at night
and direct them to anchor, and in tho day.

lot to take them safely through the min 0
fold.
What has besn sail by Major Raymond
about the submarine mine defences of the
! Delaware river, and their interference
| with commerce, will probably apply to AL
othOr ports of tho Atlantic seaboard
NO DRFENCEs AT LEWEs
Major Raymond took occasion to say
yesterday regarding the reports that
railroad siding was heing extended to the
Government iron pier at Lcwos, Del, that
such was not the case. The track is being
laid to the fish guano factories, and none
has been laid on the Government rcserca-
ton. The reports about dofences near
Loves, aud the presence of government
| engineers there to look over the ground
and locate sites for dofences he also said
| was incorrect, aud that nothing of the
kind has been done. The matter OF Gov
erpmcnt Notifications near Loves would
be In the hands Of Major Raymond, for
the territory il within tho Philadelphia
district Of which he has charge.
