shaking the dirt from their petticoats and
the sand from their back hair They rub
the children's faces round with the tails OF
their gowns. They tempt scraps OF wood

FOR SECRETARY.
Democrats Fighting Over Plums OF
the Board Of Health.

the Board of Health.
1t was said last night that the new
Board of Health would not organize to-
night as expected. A prominent poll
tician said the law plainly states that the
board shall organize on the first Thurs
dav in May.
They have not been sworn in yet and
this it is thought will take place tomor-
row sometime. The politicians are
taking great interest in the matter of
the appointment of the secretary of the
board and the four executive officers are
extremely anxious that these plums
shall fall in the right places.
Andrew A. Cahill, clerk in Mayor
Fahey's drug ST. re, for secretary. and
Harry Graham, John Spath, James
Welsh and James Mcmahon for execu-
tive officers are looked upon as likely
winners.
The friends of Charles II. Ten Weeges,
Ed ward A. Hasson and Herman E.
First are making stiff fight for the
place of secretary. CITY Engineer Bough-
man, who is an ex-officio member Of the
board, is said to be favorable to Ten
Weeges. Port Physician Hughes is said
to be opposed to Cahill.
This may mean that the mayors
choice for the position of secretary will
be rejected.

CORPORATION TAX REDUCED
Assessment Pulled Down by
Board Of Revision.
Board Refused to Entertain Any
Requests to Strike Assess
ments From the
Rocks.

The Board of Assessment, Revision
and Appeal held their last session Tor
the current year last evening. 1t was
Xpected that the board would sit in the
Mayors office but they spent the larger
part of the evening in the tax Office,
where they could have ready access to
the books.
Formal protests to the city assessment
on roadbeds, poles, wires, gas Pipes and
other property never assessed before
have been made by all of the corpora
tions with the single exception of the
Delaware & Atlantic Telegraph and Tele-
phone Company. All, also with the ex-
ception OF this company, have appealed
from the assessment on the ground oi be-
| ing too high. These appeals were con-
sidered last night and in every case a
substantial reduction allowed. The
beard declined to give out any figures last
night, however.
The board, OF course, refused 10 enter
tain any rquests to strike the assess
mtnts from the books and City Counci
wi proceed to recover the tax as per the
revised assessment. The corporations
viii of course appeal tHe matter to the
courts and the money will be tied up fol
some time to come.
The board yesterday afternoon gave 6
hearing to Levi G. Bird counsel for the
Western Union Telegraph Company, ir
reference to the company's protest against
the assessment OF its poles. He also was
heard in reference to the protest OF the
B. q O. railroad.
James Kane, one OF the board, said las
night that very few reductions had beer
made in the assessments.
