MR.. M'LEAN RESIGNS
County Board of Equalization Hear
Appeals.

The County Board for the Equalization
of Taxes sat again yesterday afternoon
as Board of Appeals. Sheriff Mclean,
after receiving the congratulations of his
fellow members of the Board, offered his
resignation as a member. Under the law
Mr.. McLean's position as a member of
the Board became vacant the moment he
was sworn in as Sheriff. The Board has
nearly completed it's labors, and it is
scarcely probable that his successor will
be appointed until next year His resig-
nation was simply an act of courtesy 10
the other members of the Board.
Mr.. R. Rhodes, of East Forty-ninth
street, Bayonne complained because his
property that had cost So 900 had been as
sessed at s., 500. He was told by Commits
sioner Morgan that he had better be sat
isfied, because if the Board took up the
matter al all his assessment would be
increased. Mr. Rhodes lost no time in
getting out Of the room.
H. Townsend, owner of a lot on the
Clifton Park property, Weehawken, OBJ
jected to an assessment of $500 on a six
roomed house and lot which he said cost
s.. 500.
Mrs. Freda Johnson. of No. 2SS Railroad
avenue Bayonne. complained of an as
sessment of $500 on her property which
cost $500
r. Sake of No. 41s Union street, Town
of Union, who owns a pawnshop, object
ed to having a valuation of $500 placed ON
his property. He was told by. Commits
sioner Morgan that under the law all ar
ticles pledged for loans are liable to as
sessment.

DEPL0RABLE BOULEVARD
Lights Don't Burn and the
Road is Woefully Out
Of Repair.

The Boulevard was again shrouded in
darkness last night for several hours and
riding was most unpleasant. The darkness
combined with the atrocious condition of
the road, made riders think twice be-
fore venturing out. There is no doubt
of the unpopularity of the once favorite
driveway Cycling on that roadway has
decreased at least fifty per cent. within
the last year Heretofore large crowds
were always to be seen enjoying pleas
ant spins but these sights are things Of
the past.
Many tfnid riders-and there is much
reason for timidity-fear to venture on the
Boulevard after dark, not only because of
the unreliable are lights. but the condition
of the bicycle paths. which are so poorly
the road.
The Greenville and Bayonne sections are
excellent examples Of what the big road
way is coming to. Here a rider Is indeed
lucky to escape without being thrown
from his wheel or having it wrecked be-
yond repair.
Punctured tires are not uncommon. Half
way through Bayonne riders are forced
to use the centre of the road, originally
intended for the use of horses and car
riages This stretch Is so atrociously bad
that cyclists dismount.
The work of repairing is going on slow
ly, far too slowly for those who patron
ize the road. It will doubtless be far
into the fall before the work is complet-
ed, and then the season will have ended
