Announcement That the
Governor Had Signed

Caused Satisfaction.
HOW THE ACT WILL WORK
Mayor Hoos Rejoices That the
Measure Passed State
Assessors Views.

The announcement made in last night $
News that Governor Voorhees, had

marked satisfaction to the city officials
this morning.
The bill is House No. 262. and was in
troduced by Mr.. Foote for the Speaker.
1t imposes a franchise tax on persons
companies and corporations enjoying
municipal franchises. The property Oh
such companies, in addition to the local
assessment on real and personal property
must pay a tax of 2 per cent. on the
gross annual receipts. A return OF these
receipts must be made annually toethe
State Board of Assessors and that Boafo
apportions the tax to the local govern
ments of the State in proportion to the
value of the property owned by the COM
panies in the several municipalities. Inc
tax is collected locally Where money Is
now paid to local governments for fran
chises the amount so paid shall be cred
tied on the amount apportioned to such
government, but where the amount now
Maid is greater than the amount appor-
toned the excess must continue to be
paid. No credit is allowed on apportion-
ed tax by reason of any money spent on
street paving.

Increased demand for houses and lots.

increased demand for houses and lots
Christopher P. Smith, of No. 456 Jer-
sey avenue said:-"There have been large
sales but know number of people who
were going to build this spring who
changed their minds because when they
asked for estimates from the builder
found they We're enormously high Two
Of my friends in particular I know would
have done considerable building this
spring but for the great advance in build
ing material. A year, or in fact six
months, ago a house could have been
built for s., 900 less than 1t can at present
There seems to be a great demand py
the people for two-story and basement
houses, with all improvements, contain
ing six or seven rooms, at about so
monthly. Except in the building of houses
the rest of the business promises to pe
very prosperous"
Mr.. f. H. Spengeman. of No. 256 Wash
ington street. said when Interviewed
1.-THE outlook for real estate this spring
is very promising. Real estate at tne
present time is in better condition on ac-
count of the increase in building material.
Rents have advanced a little, which is
due to the price of buildings having been
advanced. The business is very active
There have been many improvements n
the past four or five years. We are re-
ceiving better rents now. because real
estate that was worth $4,000 or S5,OOo for
the last four years or so, is now selling for
double that amount.
''At this time there is scarcity OF
| buildings being erected, and this is on ac-
count of the raise in the price Of ma
| terials.
notwithstanding this" said MIR
Spengeman, there seems to be large
number of people coming from Brooklyn
and New York to Jersey City asking fol-
prices on buildings and rentals. Jersey
City has been advancing in this line fol
| some time and should continue, as there
is good water and it is the main outlet te
all the railroads. There seems to be
great demand for double private houses
with vestibule doors, to be occupied by

FELL FIFTEEN FEET UNHuRT.

A horse, cart and driver We're preci-
pitated over an embankment distance
Of fifteen feet on Claremont avenue yes
terday afternoon, and the driver got off
with a few scratches and the horse was
uninjured. Joseph Fillipio, the driver,
was pinned under the horse for more
than fifteen minutes while laborers were
getting the horse loose from the broken
harness and cart. He had a miraculous
escape from death.
The embankment is near Garfield ave-
nue., where excavations are being made
for a building. Humphrey Reid is the
contractor. Fillipio. the driver, drove his
horse too near the edge of the embank-
ment and horse, cart and driver went

REPUBLICAN NOMINEES.
Hauck's and Nolan's 0ppo-
nents Only Have Been
Chosen.

The names of two prospective Street
and Water Board nominees of the Repup-
lican party to oppose Commissioners
Nolan and Hauck at the spring election
on April TO- leaked out this morning. Sew
eral prominent Republicans, high in the
councils of the party, stated that George
NJ. Patterson and John r. Hooker were
the men to be placed in nomination by
the machine Both have served in the
Street and Water Board before. Patter-
son halls from the Tenth Ward and
Hooker from the First Ward.
The City Convention, at which two
Street and Water Board aspirants Will be
named, is to be held in Lincoln Hall, on
Pavonia avenue, Wednesday night OF next
week. These are the only nominations to
be made by the City Convention.
From what can be learned there will be
practically no opposition to the names
mentioned above 1t is not unlikely
though. that Thomas McEwan's follow
ers, aided by a few constituents OF John
]. Erwin and several anti-ring men from
the Ninth ward, may attempt to spoil the
wei oiled machinery of the party lead
ers.
The primaries to elect delegates to the
State. Congressional, City and Ward
Conventions, will be held Monday night.
Little opposition is anticipated in any Of
the wards, save the First, Fourth and
Twelfth. In the First and Fourth. Erwin
holds some power. He controls some
votes and several of his delegates will be
elected in the Fourth Ward where he
lives, if not in the First.
A new First Ward Club was organized
several weeks ago by the party leaders for
the sole purpose of side tracking Erwin
and taking away from him what power
he had in that ward. The new club has
done it's work we'll. Slowly, but surely,
Erwin is being shorn of his power.
But one voting place has been arranged
fer in the First ward for the primaries.
This is in the rooms of the Young Mems
Republican Club, of which Erwin is a
prominent member. The party men. how
ever, will make a strong fight TO beat out
the Erwin ticket. In the Fourth ward
there will also be a battle and the Erwin
forces will be forced to rally around their
leader to win few delegates The Gus
tomary fight will take place in the
Twelfth ward, the battlefield of the Nc
Evan forces. In the Ninth ward, where
a contest is looked upon as an every day
affair, there viii be no opposition. One
ticket and joint primary has been de-
cided upon. There may be few skir-
mishes about the county but these are
not considered seriously by the party
leaders.
The majority of the ward conventions
will be held on March 20. Aldermen JUS
tices of the Peace and ConstabIes will be
nominated. Very few Aldermanic candi-
dates have come to light. No one seems

BRUNNERT WAS NOT SURPRISED

Theodore Brunnert after his acauittal
yesterday afternoon of the charge of MUIR
dering Nicolaus Schmitt, was taken to a
neighboring saloon by some of his friends.
He was gratified but not surprised at the
verdict He said that he never had any
doubt of the result and was not at all
afraid that the jury would find any other
verdict.
The young man said he realized that he
was innocent Of any crime and declared
that he would do the same thing again
under the same circumstances. He ex-
pressed gratitude to his counsel, Messrs.
Simpson and Goldenhorn, for the able
manner in which they had conducted the

MAY FIX JOINT RATES.

Legal Decision That VIII Increase Powers
Of Railway Commissioners.
ST. PAUL, Jan. 31.-The railroad and
warehouse commission has the right to
fix joint rates for connecting carriers
and in case the carriers cannot agree on
division of the rate the commission
has the right to make that division.
This is the substance of a decision
rendered by Judge Bum of the district
court upon the petition of the railroad
and warehouse commission for writ Of
mandamus compelling the Minneapolis
and St. Louis Railroad company and
the st. Paul and Duluth Railroad COM
pany to accept and put into operation q
joint rate on car loads of hard coal from
Duluth to Minnesota points on the Min
neapolis and St. Louis. Judge Bum
orders the issuance of peremptory
writ of mandamus.
Among other things the decision reit-
crates the proposition that the state has
the right to control railroad rates, a point
which has long been firmly established,
and furthermore holds that the commits
sion has the power to fix joint rates and
apportion the rate in case the connect
ing carriers fail to agree on a division.
Judge Br~n comes to this conclusion by
extending the rules laid down in the
jacobson case. The final decision is
considered as of great Importance and if
Judge Bum is sustained by the supreme
court, the powers of the commission will
be greatly increased.

AFRAID OF MINNESOTANS.

Washington Lumbermen Fear Their Best
Lands Will Be Gobbled.
SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 31.-The lum-
bermen of the state are much alarmed
at reports that the Weyerhauser syndi-
cate, which purchased the Northern Pa
cifc lands, has cruisers in the lumber
regions endeavoring to secure the best
lands. 1t is feared that the syndicate
will grab all the best ground. The ar
rival of Ex-Governor Clough and other
members of the Clark Nickerson syndi-
cate recently formed in Minneapolis has
added to local lumbermen's anxiety. 1t
is believed that the two great concerns
will shut out local men from lands,
which they hold by a slight title. A
strong association here will consider the
situation at meeting to be held soon.
Both new concerns are looking around
for sites for mills that promise to be
larger than any in the state.
