The commissioners of state aid say
that the state aid relating to the Span
ish war will be very close to $4,000, but

satisfactory manner.

A FIFTH WHEEL,
That's What Parker Thinks of an Addi-
tiona Assessor.

That's What Parker Thinks of an Addi-
tionaI Assessor
Chairman Amos NJ Parker. of the
board of assessors, is opposed to add
ing fourth man to the board, accord
RI ing to the plan proposed by President
Henry Brannon of the board OF alder
men, who said several days ago that he
viii early this session introduce into the
B." CITY council an order for an amendment
to the city charter for such purpose.
Mr.. Parker thinks the adoption of
that plan might create a deadlock in
the board, which should consist of an
odd number of members When asked
What ne thought of the plan yesterday.
.. he replied: / do not believe in il be-
cause half the time there would be a
deadlock in the board. Two might be
one way and two the other, and there
would be no chance of reaching q de-
cision If all were right according TO
their convictions.
A man cannot remain in the Office
and be posted in the values CT real es-
tate, as they are fluctuating, and a.
man must go outside to keep in touch
with the changes. If there Is 10 be a
man IN the office it would be better To
nave him clerk. The expense would
be less, more than half. No one man
on the board can give all information
that may be sought
We divide up the wards in the matter
ol personal property, each assessor hav-
ing certain wards in which he ap-
praises the personal property. This
plan has always been followed Thus
! DO not know off-hand anything about
the work of the other members in thar
respect. OF course, in appraisine real
estate, all the board act together.
clerk would have as much information
10 give off hand as a fourth member OF
the board, and could refer TO the book
d Just as easily.
IL thlnk II would be far better to place
free TO do its duty than place a fourth
man on the board and render deadlocks
possible.

LUNCH COUNTER WANTED.

During the last few days of storm
and cold weather, some Of the young
ady clerks in city hall offices ventured
a suggestion that il would not be a bad
dea if lunch counter was established
in the city hall. They point to the es-
adjustment of such a counter in the
nigh schools, where it has proved
aking feature. Many public buildings
IN other cities are supplied with lunch
counters, which are a great convent

whom the plan was suggested agreed

rade of the Stables at Noon To-day.
The track at Thunderbolt Driving Park
was in good condition yesterday and the
unfinished eveits of Christmas day were
fast and exciting.
Pauline won the unfinished 2:3O class in
splendid style. The race was a spirited
contest from start to finish. All of the
entries got away well together. Pauline
showed her nose in front at the first turn.
Down the backstretcil Adela moved up
to Pauline and the race for the first half
was neck and neck Pauline increase her
lead to the three-quarter pole. From this
point Cook began to drive Adela for all
he was worth, but he could not reach the
speedy gray mare. The time made was
2:2612. George Palmer drove Pauline, and
the mare never left her feet but once dur
ing the race.
The Cracker short distance race" was
next called and 1t was certainly a hot
affair. Bonnie Shaw piloted the Charles
ton favorite. Perhdy, and little boy from

Perfidy would have a walkover with the

self to be a great sprinter, and had it not
been for the fact that one of his relns
broke in two and the rider lost control of
the Cracker entry" the Charleston mare
might have been behind the money. Per-
fdy won, but she was out of her limit the
entire route. 1t was the first time that
the Tattnan county horseman has lost a
short race, and the result was surprise.
Horsemen are Of the opinion that If Perry

yesterdays race would have been re-

You Owe Me" won the three-quarter
dash, with Salome second, in 1:2O. The
race was by far the most exciting during
the meeting, and the winner and his

when the handsome thoroughbred swept
under the wire.
Manager Doyle will give a street parade
to-day of all the entries that are 10 start
