time a number Of companies organized
elsewhere are doing guarantee and in

supervision whatever. whereas all nsur,

CHARTER REVISION CHAIRM4NSHIP.
GOVERNOR AND MANHATTAN MEMBERS FAVOR
Mr.. RIvEs-BROOKLYN MEN WANT
MR. DE WITT.

From present indications there is likely to be a
contest over the craftsmanship OF the newly ap-
pointed Charter Revision Commission, which meets
for organization Tuesday. 1t is said that Gov
ernor Roosevelt and the Manhattan members Of
the Commission favor George l.. Rives for chair
man. but Brooklyn will put forth William c. De
Witt Mr.. De Witt is the only member Of the
Drafting Commission on the Revision Commission
and Senator Platt has referred to him as the man
who practically made the present charter and did
more work upon IL than any one else.
Mr. Rives is member Of the Rapid Transit
Commission. Governor Roosevelt named him first
in choosing the Commission, and it has been gem
orally understood that he could be chairman. Isaac
NJ Kapper a Brooklyn representative will name
Mr. De Witt for chairman, and he said earnestly
yesterday that he thought Mr.: De Witt was pre-
emnently fitted for the post of chairman.
No one seems TO have any definite idea just now
what will be done by the Commission Many
changes and improvements in the old charter are
suggested Senator Platt in discussing this, said
There will be nothing revolutionary radical in
the action OF the Commission. The work will be TO
find the weak points In the charter and strengthen

VALUATIONS OF STREET RIGHTS.
TAX COMMISSIONERS-MCCH INTER
EST IN THE MATTER

Albany. April 20 (SpeciaD.-It is expected that
morrow the valuations they have put on fran
chises and other property of corporations using
the streets Of New Y0rk-the gas companies
the electric light companies. the telephone COM
panies, the telegraph companies and the street
railway companies.
There are intimations that the Tax Commits
sioners have been impressed by the arguments
that they had put the valuations too high on
many Of the corporations affected. and that as
the result Of the arguments made before them
by the lawyers representing these corporations
the valuations made tentatively may be
duced. In any case, the representatives Of the
corporations say they believe the courts will re-
duce the valuations to a level with the former
local appraisement
No matter what valuations may be made by
the Tax Commissioners, it is already obvious
that most of the valuations will be challenged
in the courts of the State. Over thousand
suits. it Is declared will be brought. Already
suits have been begun in Buffalo, Rochester
and Albany. The constitutionality Of the law
taken that the Constitution does not permit the
State Tax Commissioners to do the work of
appraising the value Of franchises formerly
done by local boards of appraisers. 1t is inter
esting to know that the Ford Franchise law

sequenty last evenings performance would be the

Ted D. Marks general manager of the company,
said he came 10 the music hall Monday last at
$3.50 p. m, put IN a new programme, and at $50
that night rang up the curtain Everything was
going along all right, with good houses but as the

thirty would be paid in full, and every obligation
met 1t was impossible to do business in June,
July and August, except on the roof and for that
purpose a new stage would have to be built and
electric lights installed.
Norris Tekusky said that year ago Robert
Biei leased Roster & Balls for $4,000 year. The
lease was transferred to the Blei syndicate and
then to the Continental Amusement Company. AS
a representative of that company he called Jud-
Wells, counsel for the Roster & Bial estate.
a fortnight ago to arrange for the transfer of the
lease to the London Amusement Company He made
to Mr.; Wells the proposition that the company
Wells said he would consider 1t. The London
Amusement Company in taking the lease, which
has four years run thought that IT would be
possible to to terms with the Roster & Biai
estate in regard to paying rent in the duh
mer months The is due on May l. and the
company wanted the rent to December to begin
from September /, giving the company oppor-
tunty to do the necessary repairs in the summer
months when business is quiet.
The sum ST. $50 the company is willing to pay
at once. If 1t can get receipt for rent from May
O December, and Will for all changes, except
ing 81 500 for electrical alterations the total of
which has been estimated at about $1,000. The
estate, however, wanted the company to do all the
other alterations including the cost of about 81 900
on the stage roof. and pay the regular in
May June, July and August, when there little

The sum of 81 $50 offered by the company on
Saturday night, the conditions named, and when

on the part of the representatives Of the Roster &
