TO AVOID DISFIGURING THE PARK.

The surface disturbance at the northern END or
Central Park by the rapid transit constructors VIII
not continue, says President Clausen OF the Park
Board in response the request OF the American
Scenic and Historic Preservation Society TO use
his influence TO prevent any avoidable permanent
Disagreement of the park. 1t appears that the
work OF rapid transit contractors referred TO is
done under a general provision OF the Rapid
Transit act, which ignores and supersedes the
Jurisdiction Of the Park Department and could
have been done without any permit from the de-
partment The contractors did apply, however. to
the department and secured permit and it is said
have shown a disposition to be governed, as far
as possible. by the recommendations Of the park
experts. The law requires the contractors TO re-
place and trees and other features as they
found them, and while IL will be impossible TO do
this literally, every effort will be made to preserve
the original plan and the natural features OF that
part OF the park. 1t expected that the open
cut work would be succeeded by driven tunnel
soon after crossing the drive near the LenoX-ave
entrance, but the character OF the rock and its
Cleavage said to have obliged the tunnel con-
structors TO push their open cutting further into
The hill than they originally intended Lovers Of
,he park. who have viewed with no little soicitude
the operations OF the rapid transit builders the

NOT LIKELY TO FAVOR MR. GERRY.
THE LATTER OWNS A BUILDING OCCUPIED AS
CHURCH AND WANTS IT EXEMPT
FROM TAXATION


Commodore Elbridge T Gerry is much interested
in a bill which came up yesterday before the
Mayor for hearing. The measure relieves the
ST. John Armenian Apostolic Church, in West
Fortv-hrst-st, Of taxes The property formerly
occupied by ST. Luke's Methodist Episcopal
Church. and IN the occupancy OF that society It
exempt. Soon after it had been given I'D
Deputy Tax Commissioner Frank J. Bell discovered
that the property was really owned by Commodore
Gerry, and forthwith he put ii the tax rolls. Mr.
Gerry did his utmost 10 persuade Mr.. Bell that
his property ought TO be exempt The Armenian
society rented the property and became bound to
pay the taxes They, in turn, visited the Tax De-
partment, alleging that they under the i'm
preston when they rented the building that 1t
was exempt. When they found themselves bound
TO pay the tax. they had introduced special bill
which came up before Mayor Van Wyck yesterday.
James Van Vechten Olcott, who appeared for the
s2eo year as rental and if the society had
nay the taxes It would be paying $500 more than
II could afford. He said they would have TO give up
the lease. Mr.. Tavshanjan. president of the board
Of trustees also spoke Of the merits of the bill.
Said the Mayor:
This will exempt the property of Commodore
Gerry from taxation. To exempt property of indi-
Vidual owners IS step further than have known.
] knew Of similar case when was boy where
a barroom and billiard were on the lower
floors of a building and church above. The
church people wanted the property exempted for
their use which would have allowed the billiard
and bar keepers exempt
It is believed the Mayor will veto the bill.

Mayor Van Wyck gave hearing yesterday rela-
tive TO the refunding Of assessments on Prospect

bill at the hearing the Mayor found that IL was

The horse is handsome jet black, and is named Spencer G. 5 MT Hoyt first bid off ''King Jack, "and the New York Press of Thursday gave this account of the incident: "There were numerous incidents during the sale that impressed bidders with the straight-from-the-shoulder methods of the auctioneer. One was when "King Jack," a fine looking bay gelding, Is hands high, was knocked down to John w. Hoyt of New Milford, Conn.,, for $40. This horse had been consigned by John B. Doerr, and had cost him $87O six months ago. Immediately after the sale MT Doerr called out: "Mr Hoyt, I will give you $50 bonus for your bid." Mir Hoyt agreed, and MT Doerr, selecting $50 bill, handed it to him. Before the next horse ap- peared MT Doerr was approached by a belated bidder who said: "I will give you $70O for King Jack. Igot here too late to bid on him.'' MT DOerr said, ''No sir; sl,0O0 would not buy that horse, and if it had been clear weather and people who had contemplated at tending were here, the animal would bring $l,5OO at the least.'
