A Law Suit will be the Result.

The Dover Board of Water Commits
sioners who have in hand the matter
of planning the new water supply for
Dover last Wednesday evening dis
pensed with the services of O. 9.
Vermeule and employed i'll his place
Frederick @. Garfield. The result of
this action will be law suit. Mr.
Vermeule alleges that he has claim
against the town of Dover for ~ per
cent. of $3.50, 900. the estimated price
of the water supply from Green Pond,
for which he had prepared plans at the
instance of the former Board ofWater
Commissioners. When Mr.. Vermeule
was appointed by the first Board of
Water Commissioners, composed of
Commissioners 9. r. Mulligan, l.. @.
Bierwith and Jacob W. Baker, he looked
into the various possible sources of
supply and as a result Of his report to
the Commissioners they selected Green
Pond as the most valuable source and
gave Mr.. Vermeule authority to pre-
pare the plans and specifications.
The Commissioners in the meantime
submitted a report to the Common
Council recommending that water
he used from Green Pond and asked
that the town be bonded for $3.50. 600,
the estimated cost of its supply.
This was a technical error on the
part of the Commissioners as $50, 600
had already been voted and only
$170, 600 more was needed but the re-
commendation met with such an
friendly criticism from the members of
the board and people in general that
the entire Board resigned and the
present Board was appointed. Mr..
Vermeule was however not officially
notified of the resignation of the old
and the installing of the new Board
and he completed the plans and speciti-
cations for the water supply from
Green Pond.
When the new Board finally COM
municated with Mr.. Vermeule. they
asked him to prepare plans and speci-
fications for supplying water from
driven wells, which Mr.. Vermeule said
he would do without waving his
right to compensation for the work
on the Green Pond matter. On this
rock they split after months of dis
cussion. 1t is the irony of fate that
while the Green Pond scheme was not
consumated for fear of possible suit
for damages by riparian owners the
town is now in for litigation over
the compensation to be paid the en-
gineer.

Bondsmen Paid in Full.

The rumor that the bondsmen of the
late tax collector j. Clark Oliver, who
was short in his accounts and who has
not been seen in this neighborhood for
nearly three years, were with others
circulating a petition, asking that
leniency might be extended to the fu-
gitive is made out of whole cloth. The
bondsmen of Mr.. Oliver were COM
PEELED to pay the shortage in Col
lector divers accounts as figured by
the Aldermanic commit tee, Messrs.
John B. Byram, e. A. Quayle and
G. A. Reed. The members of the
committee when interviewed by a
Chronicle reporter this morning indi-
vidually said that "the amount due
the town occasioned by the Oliver
shortage was paid in full by his bonds
men.

The interest in the various classes and

week the Dress making class reached its
limit; this week the Physical Culture
class has had to refuse further applicants
for the present and only few more can
be added to the Home Nursing class.
The board will, however, be glad to re-
ceive names of any who would desire
to go into the classes in the Fall, at
which time it is hoped arrangements
can be made for more room and greater
facilities for handling the classes.

Paralysis Resalt of Rope Jumping


Sadie Purcell, 10 years old, is dying
in her home in Passaic from the effect
of too much rope skipping. She at
tended school and at recess one day
recently skipped rope 406 times. She
was fatigued by the exercise, but not
excessively, as it then appeared. A
few mintes later, when the children
returned to the class room, she com
planned of feeling dizzy and dropped
from her seat unconscious. She was
attended by physician, but he failed
to revive her, and she was taken to
her home. She is now paralyzed, and
the doctors who have been in consult
alton fear she will die.

TROUBLE OVER ASSESSMENTS
Dover Residents Kick May Raise
Valuation Throughout the County

Valuation Throughout the County
The question of the tax assessments
on various Dover properties has be-
come very serious and exciting one.
William HI. Baker, ownerof the Baker
Opera House, and several other pieces
of property, has felt very much ag-
grieved over the fact that last year
Assessor Henry Richards raised the
valuation on the Opera House from
S12. 900, which had formerly been
S8, 900, to SIT, 900; and on farm,
which Mr.. Baker had laid out in bull
ding lots from So, 500 to So, 900; and on
what is known as Baker second ad-
dition from 81, 100 to So, 600. Mr.. Baker
brought his grievances before the Com
mon Council when they were act
ing in the capacity of Comm1s-
sioners of appeal and they re-
fused to change the valuation, and
so he decided to appeal to the
State Board of Taxation. A sworn
statement embodying these facts and
showing other valuations by way of
comparison was submittedsto the. State
Board by A. g. Smith, attorney for Mr.
Baker, at a recent meeting held in
Phillipsburg. In consequence of these
statements, the commissioners visited
Dover Saturday morning and looked
into the matter.
The coming of the Commission
ers set the town agog and num-
bers of tax payers, the mayor, assessor,
town attorney, town clerk, and
several councilmen, piloted by Mr..
Smith, visited the Baker property and
the George Richards property, which
Mr.. Baker claims is assessed very
much lower relatively.
The statement that the Opera House
property assessed at ST., 900 was valued
by Mr.. Baker at only $48, 900 caused
Commissioner Black of the State
Board to ask in surprise at what per
centage property in Dover was rated.
Upon Mr.. Bakers claiming that the
Richards property was valued at 13
and the Opera House at 81 per cent.
Commissioner hentz emphatically
said he would not vote or move to re-
duce the valuation one picayune, to
which Commissioners Black acqui-
esced.
The rolling mills, Mansion House
and Pierson property were visited
and the result was that the Commits
sioners decided that all valuations in
Dover must be increased, and in ad-
diton Commissioner Lentz said -" 1
have reason to know that valuations
throughout Morris County are too
low and we will take steps to see that
an increase is made all along the line
and throughout the county"

that III many ways the Pan American
Exposition will actually excel the
Worlds Fair, a fact made possible
by the inventive genius of men who
have been careful, energetic workers in
numerous fields. This will be especi-
ally true in the connection electricity
will have with the n-American and
the part it will play in making the
Exposition a success. In some respects
the electrical features of the worlds
fair were novelties, and in many cases
they have advanced in favor until now
they are looked upon as necessities of
the daily work. This is one of the re-
suits of progress, and when people
have seen all the electrical features
of the Pan American Exposition they
will feel that electricity is the greatest
force the world has known to improve
the conditions of people and develop
a country S resources.
