way they can with alkali wator. but the
day l was there it did rain, and some Of
them gave mo the credit for it,, l

every house in the town put out all tho rcccptn-
cles that. would hold water. Just at present
the Canadian Pacific is getting out every bucket

the welfare OF the HorouEh.

Tho Brooklyn League. the general object Of
which is the promotion Of the welfare Of that
borough. was formally launched last night. at
q meeting OF tho projectors. in tho directors
room Of the Academy OF Music. Most Of

the Cts Union movement in the last cam.
paign. The constitution, which was adopted.
declares that the League will be strictly
non.partisan and non-political. and that 1t
will not make or indorss any nominations.
While it is to look particularly after the inter.
ests Of Brooklyn. It is also to extend the scope OF
its influence, should the occasion demand 1t, to
the entire city. All voters and taxpayers, in.
Guiding women. are eligible to mem bership, and

In the discussion which attended the adoption
of the constitution most OF the speakers empha-
sized the fact that tho league should not be re-
gardod as in any way antagonistic to the present
municipal rulers. but in a certain sense as an
aid TO them in the solution Of the difficult prob.
lens which are sure to arise in the new expert
ment in municipal govrnment.

RICHMOND TAXES PAYABLE FEB. o.
Penalty Will Probably Not Ne Exncted rrom
the AUHrIovcd Taxpayers.

1t was announced yesterday that the collec-
ton of taxes in the borough of Richmond would
begin next Wednesday. Not a dollar of the
taxes levied last year by the Board of Super
visors in Richmond county has been collected
thus far. The Supervisors neglected to turn
over the tax books to tho County Treasurer
until two hours before midnight on Dec. 81. al
though they should have been in his hands at
least thirty days earlier. Then the County
Treasurer thought it was due to his bondsmen
that no should be careful about tho disposition
of the books, and two weeks more slipped by be-
fore the Tax Department Of the new city could
get hold of them. The rest OF the time since
Jan. 10 has been consumed in making out bills
and getting ready to collect the taxes.-.
In the meantime the taxpayers OF
have accumulated a grievance. Under the law
they were entitled to a rebate. at the rate Of
6 per cent. q year on all taxes paid in December,
but as they had NO opportunity to pay they fear
now that they will not only lose tho rebate. but
he obliged to pay a penalty Of per cent. which
the law adds for all taxes paid after Jan. ]. Tho
Tax Department Is not in favor of demanding
tho penalty. and Corporation Counsel whalen
has been asked for an opinion az to the advis-
ability of declaring 1t of.
