To Recover Taxes Paid by Railroads and
applied to Payment of State Taxes.
ALBANY. Aug. 1O.-Former District Attorney
H. A Westbrook Of Ulster County to-day filed
against the tState a claim on behalf of Ulster
County for SAP, $40. being the amount claimed
to be due the county for state taxes enormously
paid during the 30 years intervening since
1859. Under an old law counties in this State
and towns in counties were permitted to bond
themselves to aid in the construction OF rail-
roads which were to be built through them.
The bon ling act provided that such counties
and towns should set aside the taxes collected
from such ond-aidcd roads in a sinking fund.
the proceeds Of which should be invested and
devoted to paying the principal and interest Of
the bond when due. This latter provision Of
the law was generally ignored and the taxes
collected were applied for local and State
purposes.
The last Legislature passed a law giving to
counties and towns which had so bonded them
selves a right TO bring action against the State
regardless of the statute OF limitations. to re-
cover the portion Of such taxes collected from
railroads and applied in the payment OF State
taxes. Ulster County is the first to avail itself
of this law. The county sold bonds to assist
three railroads. the Ulster and Delaware. Wal
kill Valley and the EllcnviIle Branch OF the
New York. Ontario and Western. Niagara.
Wayne. Orleans. and Tioga counties will nlso

Asix-toot alligator that in some way got into

street and Fifth avenue. has been causing a
great deul Of trouble to the park authorities
because Of the irixhts 1t has given to women
and children. In the rainstorm yesterday n
man was walking along path near tho lake.
when the alligator crawled out OF some bushes
upon the path and opened its Jaws menacingly
In front OF him. The man was considerably
startled and ran back the way he had come
At the same time the alligator scamrered off to
the lake. The man ran up the hill until he met
Policeman Brown. when he stopped and catch
ing his breath said
Say. officer. Just saw the sea-serpent
down by the pond 1t was about twenty feet
long and had II mouth rs big as barrel. I
didn't know they had such things in Central

On Wednesday afternoon a woman with two

| Soon that part OF the Park was deserted.
The sauran had q habit Of bobbing up to the
surface Of the water of the lake close to tho

and. last night. had the keepers bait the hook
| with meat and cast the lines into different
| parts OF the lake. The shore ends OF the lines
| were made fast to strong stakes. Mr. Smith
| said he expected that the alligator would
| swallow ono OF the pieces OF meat during the
| night and would be held prisoner until this
morning. when the keepers would pull it out Of
| tho water and muzzc IT, keeper will be sent
| around this morning to pull in the lines. II
the alligator is not caught the lines will be set

taken out without injuring the REPTILE. when
