AGAINST BOULEVARD RULES
Hudson City Businessmen
Think They Should Be
Less Stringent.

The Hudson City Business Mems Assp-
citation held a we'll attended and interest
ing meeting at PohlnEann's last evening.
A number OF proposed improvements were
discussed.
Henry Rollfs reported that the contract
for asphalting a portion of Palisade ave-
nue. had been already awarded and that
work on the Improvement WOULD seen be
begun.
J. Wallace Black reported THAT acting
under Instructions of the association he
had communicated with the Good Roads
Association Of Hoboken, urging its 90
operation dn securing a viaduct near the
foot of Bowers street and leading down
into Hoboken but had received no answer
Ito his communication. Mr.. Black said
that the Hoboken people did not seem to
DE very enthusiastic over the project.
IA general discussion concerning the
work of the association was indulged dn
Henry RoiAs made a neat speech in which
ne euiosized the work OF the association
in the past, but said there was great
work ahead for the association. He said
the association should have more rep
resenltative men In it. He thought 1t
should exert itself in this direction Act
ing on his suggestion a committee, com
posed of Charles Lehman, Robert Troll
Henry Roilfs, f. kupfer ard Emil Engel-
mann. were appointed to hustle for new
members among the most prominent buSi-
ness meE of the Hudson City section
Emil Engeimann criticized the prohib-
itory rules governing traffic on the Bou-
levard. He said the Jersey City police
were so particular In enforcing the rule
prohibiting heavy trucks on the .Boule-
ward that ii was next to impossible for q
business man to deliver goods sold to GUS
toners who live on that thoroughfare.
The police, he declared, drove the trucks
off at all hours of the day.
President Kastenhuber said the police
were simply doing their duty in enforcing
the law and should not be criticized. The
fault he said, lay with the rules.
Mesrs Engelmann, Samuel McGuinness
and F. Kuper were appointed commit
tee to wait upon the Freeholders and the
Boulecard Commissioners and see If the
present rules could not be substituted by
others less tringent.
"A committee headed by Henry Rollfs
was appointed to wait upon the Street
and Water Commissioners and see if the
$1,000 surplus of the fund for purchasing
the Hudson City park site on the brow of
the Hill could not be utilized in fixing up
the plot to that extent. At present 1t is
little more than a public dumping ground
and an eyesore to the community. The
same committee was instructed to conn
nlain of the abandoned lampposts that in
some instances disfigure the corners upon

Now that the arts and crafts exhibition is

given TO another exhibition OF interest. This
IS the Meaken collection now at the Lieber

classification. Mr.. Meakin's pictures are

TAXATION INVALID.
Main Features of the Pingree-Atkin-
son Measure knocked Out.

LANSING. Mich, April 2s.-In a decision
handed down late to-day the State Supreme
Court declared invalid the main principle
of the Pingree-Atkinson Capitalization bill,
which was passed by the present session of
the Legislature. The case was one instituted
by Governor Pingree while the Atkinson bill
was hanging fire in the legislature to test
the validity of an act passed some fifteen
years ago providing for the taxing Of tele-
phone and telegraph companies on the value
Of their property. the tax, which was levied
by the State Board of Auditors, to be used
for a specific purpose. The act was similar
to the Atkinson bill in that both provided
special assessors and also a specific tax. In
its opinion the Supreme Court holds that "a
tax on property based or an assessment
cannot be maintained as a specific tax"
When the case was before the court, by
Governor Pingree's invitation the attorneys
of the principal railroads and others af-
fected by the Atkinson bills provision ar
gued against the validity Of the old act. 1t
is probable that steps will be taken now to
have the Atkinson act declared invalid.

A Dinner for MIR. Taylor.

Mr.. Taylor was last evening entertained
at dinner at the Country Club by Mr.. John

avoided, except in a humorous a~llusion, and
the guests were Chalmers Brown. H. c.
Adams, r. o. Hawkins. f. NJ. Andrews,
f. Il. Martindale, James Whitcomb Riley,
George L. Bradbury. a. w. Wishard, ID. NJ.
Ransdell, A. A. Young, John G. New,
Charles l.. Holstein. DIR. Franklin w. Hays
and NJ. CT. McLain. While Mr.. Taylor did
not declare himself yesterday. 1t was the
impression of those nearest him that his
conviction was that the site by University
Square was the most desirable from an
architectural point of view. and that even
two-thirds of the square was the most de-
sirable from a financial point of view.
A few day ago Hess received
a request from those who advocate the
square bounded by Market, Capitol avenue,
Ohio and Illinois streets. as to the distribu-
ton of mail under the free delivery. 1t was
believed by the advocates OF this site that
the majority of the mail was west OF
Meridian street. and the question asked of
the was If this was not so. Mr..
Hess caused an investigation 70 be made,
and found that if a line was drawn north
and south through Meridian street, the
greater part of the mail received is de-
livered east of Meridian street. This is be-
cause of the large factories and buildings
which are east of that street. 1t is the
opinion of Mr.. Hess that the dividing line
is between Meridian and Pennsylvania
streets, although complete statistics have
not been secured to make this a certainty.

Attorney General Taylor has received so
many inquiries regarding the mortgage ex-
emption law that he has prepared a series
OF answers that cover most of the inquiries.
His answers are as follows:
The affidavit required by Section 2 of
said law may be sworn 10 before any per-
sol authorized TO administer oathS (this in
cludes notaries public), and must be filed
with the auditor before the LIST day of May
or each year. Said affidavit must be sworn
10 by the person securing the deduction per-
sonaily- a husband cannot make an afi-
dayit for his wife nor she for him.
The deduction allowed by this law does
but only TO those OF 1899. TO be paid In 1900.
The auditor or recorder are not required
10 furnish blanks TO persons wishing To Sc
cure the benefit OF said deduction, but the
auditor may swear persons to the affidavit
required and charge a fee therefor of %
State and not to the auditor personally.
rms Zee does not include the cost of
preparation of certificate.
The assessor has nothing whatever 70
DO with the mortgage deduction law and is
not authorized to swear persons to the afi-
davit required by Section 2.
Under no circumstances can one person
legally secure more than 500 deduction un-
der this law. Neither can he deduct his
mortgage Indebtedness from the assessed
valuation OF his real estate and then use the
same mortgage as a deduction from his per-
sOnal credits.
The word mortgage as used i'm this law
includes mortgages held by nonresidents of
this State. as well as school fund mort
cages and mortgages held by building $50
cations, but only one claim for deduction
can be made upon any one mortgage. A
bond for a debt cannot be used as a title
under this law.
If a husband and wife own real estate
together as tenants by entireties they must
join in the affidavit, and are entitled jointly
TO not more than 500 deduction. That is,
each cannot secure the benefit of 500. But
IL the husband and wife own real estate
separately they are each entitled 10 the de-
duction provided for in the law, just as are
all other taxpayers owning real estate in
their own names.
Firms or partnerships Qimited or other,
wise) and corporations are not entitled TO
any deduction upon their mortgage indebt-
edness under this law.
Improvements on real estate are tech
nically part OF the real estate provided such
improvements are permanent. Therefore,
In aScertafning the value OF m~ortgaged
premises all improvements should be taken
Into consideration.
Under no circumstances can a deduction
from real estate exceed one-half the ap-
praised value of such property for taxation.
This means the appraised value as shown
on the duplicate for the year In which the
deduction is PRAYED"

hours. The afternoons are devoted to sub
committee work and the evenings to infor-
NAL conferences. Mr.. Hawley, OF Texas,
is the only absent member. and In view OF
the promised early adjournment Of the COM
mittee he Is not expected to be present. The
report that the members are enjoying a
junket at the expense Of the government,
and that their sessions will not result in a
measure OF practical reform Is Indignantly
denied. IL Is pointed out that the members
are here entirely at their own expense. as
they were appointed by the Republican eau
Gus and not by a resolution OF the House.
They hope TO. complete their bill this week
for the consideration OF the next Congress.
