Mark R. Sooy appeared before Judge
Garrison in Camden, on Saturday, and
began proceedings to prevent the collec-
tion of an assessment for stOne road pur-
poses against a property in Mansfield
township. In the list published is the
name of Estrabella Erisman, against
whom there is an assessment Of $142.74
The objection to the payment of this sum
is that the property against which the
charge is made is not along the road in
question, nor does it appear on the map
made by the engineer. The application
of Mr.. Sooy is for this property only, and
does not affect the others unless it may re-
quire an entirely new assessment.

at the home of the latter, on Thursday
