SOME OF FROuNE'S "FINE WORK"
MADE BY A COMMISSION OF WHICH
FROMME WAS A MEMBER

Justice BischoT in the Supreme Court handed
down Wednesday opinion setting aside the
report of the commissioners appointed years
ago to appraise property taken by the city for the
EdgecOmbe Road and incidentally scored the COM
mlssioners. One OF the commissioners Isaac
Fromme, the Register, the Tammany candl-
date for President OF the Borough OF Manhattan.
and another Edward F ODwyer Judge
of the City Court. In his opinion Justice Bischon
deals follows with the action of the commits
sioners in appraisng property in which the city all
ready had part ownership:
Examining the different awards in this proceed
ing, find that the awards for these particular
parcels approximately equal to awards made
for property similarly situated but unburdened by
any easements whatever Taken by square feet
Of these awards substantially in excess Of
the value placed by the commissioners upon lots
in absolute ownership, and while others are sub
stantially less the approach Of the stated
value of unhurdened fee is apparent in the
estimate of tho greater number OF awards now in
erroneous principle has been permitted Offset the
measure OF damage applicable to these parcels
generally.
In other words, Justice BischOn declares that
Fromme and his associates the commission al
lowed to claimants not only the value Of
what they actually owned, but also the value of
what the city owned in the land condemned for a
city street. At the end of his opinion the justice
says:
In view OF the fact that two Of the commissioners
are now holding public office, commissioners
will be named 10 consider awards Nos l2 TO %
and 10 make new assessments upon the reduction
of such awards, and for this purpose the report
will be referred TO them for examination.

q cherub's, ana he was very much
ashamed OF IL. His elder sister used
TO tell him that he was n prettlcr girl
than she was. but she never said IL
without first providing an avenue OF
escape from his vengeance. He was
always looking for n chance TO get
square" with her. aud all things come
TO him who will but wait.
Early on the morning of the 18th OF
February Willie found upon the side.
walk picture that had been clipped
out OF magazine and pasted neatly
upon card. Doubtless some one had
intended TO frame II. md the card was
mat" but Willie did not draw that
Inference. He thought II had been sold
In that form as a cheap valentine.
The design favored this view. II
represented n solemn Cupid In the gulse
or schoolmaster instructiDg n young
woman who held an open book. OF
which the visible pages bore the para.
dlgm. IL love. thou lowest.
The picture was not more than 2h
by inches In size. but II was a gcnu-
Inc work OF art-dainty. refined and
accurate. Willie thought II was funny.
and he Immediately began TO speculate
upon the possibility OF tricklng his
sister with IL. He turned back TO the
house, arriving simultaneously with
the postman. who gave him three let.
ters for members OF his family.
One OF these letters was addressed
to Miss Jane Sandlson. The envelope
was large and square and somewhat
araU ffxt..
upper left hand corner was the name
OF the Holburn Rubber company. Jane
had been In the employ Of this corpora.
tion up to the previous week. and her
loss OF the position had been regarded
as family catastrophe, for the SandI.
sons were In what may be called un.
easy circumstances
This envelope had been imperfectIy
sealed. Not more than an inch OF the
lappet was fast, and Willie knew he
could open 1t and close It again without
any one being the wiser. The mat on
the picture was little too large 10 go
Into the envelope. but II could be
trimmed with the scissors. Altogether
the jest was practicable and looked
like good thing. for Willie had the
instinct or younger brother-he knew
that there was somebody connected
with the Holburn Rubber company for
whom Jane entertained more or less
sentimental regard. Willie did not
Know who this might be. and he could
not find out whether this letter was
from that person. because he had iron
clad scruples against reading It, even
though he could contemplate the act
OF adding TO Its contents. On the whole.
he resolved to take his chances.
Without the slightest difficulty he
accomplished his design. and the letter
came into James hands without ex-
citing In her the faIntest suspicion
that II had been loaded" by little
Willie. as she always called him In de-
rision OF bis size. He had an eye on her
when she discovered II beside her plate

JANE TOOK THE LETTER TO THR WINDOW

hope Of regaInlng her position. but
