New-York tribune., 1901-12-24

Commissioner of Accounts.
Mr. Low announced the appointment last
night, and said that having completed his cabi
net he wished to every member of It. as well
as every member of the city of New-York, a
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
The chief significance of the designations
made public by the Mayor-elect in the minds OF
politicians was the makeup of the new Park
and Tax boards the respective heads of which.
William R. Wilcox and James L. Wells. were
appointed last Friday. The appointments of
yesterday also showed that a sort of COM
promise had been effected in the Breen-Reed
fight for the Park Commissionership of the
Bronx AS told in the Tribune yesterday, Mr..
Low finally decided to appoint John E Eustic.
Citizens Union leader. thus shelving both
Reed and Breen, who were respectively the Re
publican and Democratic candidates BY such
compromise although 1t is said that neither
the Republicans nor the independent Democrats
of The Bronx regard Mr.. Eustis COM
promise appointment-Mr. Low was able to go
ahead and name the other members of the Sark
and Tax boards, and to announce them as he
did yesterday.
PARK BOARD PRACTICALLY REPUBLICAN
The Park Board will practically be Republ-
can. since Mr.. Eustis. before the organization
of the Citizens Union. identified with the
Republican party. Both Mr. Wilcox and Mr..
Young are organization Republicans.
The next Tax Board will consist of two Re
publicans. two Democrats. and Citizens Union
The last named is William S Cogswel.
Of Jamaica. In speaking of the composition OF
the board yesterday. however, Mr.. Low classed
Mr.. Cogswell Republican, and such clas-
sification would make the department Repubh-
can.
Mr.. Low also said:
This board serves substantially board of
appeals from the assessments made by the
deputy tax commissioners. whether of real or
personal estate. The charter requires that at
least of the board shall be a lawyer, and 1t
is my impression after very careful conSdera-
ton of the subject. that 1t is an advantage to
have most of the members Of the board men who
have been trained in the law. All four of these
gentlemen are lawyers and all of them have
some acquaintance with the laws relating to
taxation.
