FUNNY IGNORANCE
Cannot Even Tell How
Much Is Realty and
How Much Per-
sonalty.
ARBITRARY sum FIXED
The Pagan Board Will Find
It Somehow --Hoos to
Protest--A Little
Delay

Yesterday was the last day fixed by
law for the fling of returns of ratabies
from the different taxing districts with
the County Board for the Equalization
of Taxes, but the amended report, which
the Pagan Commissioners, Degnan and
Lindsay, propose presenting for Jersey
CITY was not ready and the County tax
rate could not be struck as was intended.
Commissioner Degnan, who seems to
be the prime mover in Mayor Fagan's
effort to provide funds for his pet scheme
and at the same time delude the public
by keeping the tax rate within the Mar
tin Act limit, said that he did not know
that the amended return was expected
to be fled yesterday. He said that he
did not have the notification from the
County Board with him. Commissioner
Joseph V. Clark of the county board
found that President Robert Hoos of the
Jersey City Board had his notification,
which was similar to the one sent to Mr.
Degnan and which stated that the
amended return must be filed on Aug Z.
NINETY-NINE MILLIONS.

WEAKENING
Treasurer Ely Indicates that
Heed Will Be Paid to
Mr.. Brooks Warnings.
WON'T TELL JUST HOW
But Other Funds Will Be
Found to Pay the Tempo
rary Loan Bonds.


Former Corporation Counsel Allan T..
McDermott has sent to City Clerk
O'Donnell an addition to his opinion,
published in "The News" yesterday, re-
ferring to the Sinking Fund Commits
sioners' powers.
1t reads as follows
August 4, 1902.
Hon. NJ J. O'Donnell, City Clerk
of Jersey City
Dear Sir--I desire to add to the
opinion this day furnished to you
that the legal propositions therein
are in nowise affected by the fact
that the Board of Finance first in
serted the amount of the temporary
loan bonds referred to in the tax
budget. and then deducted, as an
asset available to pay those bonds
the 100000 taken from the license
funds.
The illegality of the purpose to
which the license money is to be ap-
piled is only rendered the more
transparent, and this putting in and
pulling out of the tax budget of
amounts borrowed under pledges
that they would be repaid through
direct taxation, in no way differs. In
the sum of its illegality, from the
course first proposed.
Respectfully.
ALLAN L. McDERMOTT.
Comptroller Hough when the addition
to Mr.. McDermott's opinion was read to
him, said to reporter for s'The News
"Who is McDermott? l don't see any
reason why l should make any replies
to his opinions. l contend that I'm
right. There are other times when Mr..
McDermott and | held different views of
certain things and at the finish | was
always right"
'Then you won't reply to what Mr..
McDermott says? Il don't see why |
should. / will answer questions or
make answers to opinions when they
come from the proper persons
Proper persons?
ssYes, and not Mr.. McDermott.'
This conversation took place in Mr..
Housh's office in the City Hal. Later
the reporter met Mr.. Hough and City
Treasurer Ely on Montgomery street.
"Show the Treasurer Mr.. McDermott's
OPINION said Mr.. Hough to the re-
porter.
The reporter read the first paragraph
when Mr.. Ely interrupted, SAYING
sHow does Mr.. McDermott know that
we are going to use that S60,000Y'
.sThen you are not going to use it?'
ssThat hasn't been decided upon"
"What could you use in place of itY'
sWe could find other funds?"
s'What funds?'
''Never mind If / told you that it
would give him the opportunity to have
something to say. When the time comes
we'll be able to show what fund is avail
able for the money needed
But the warrants for the 100000
have been signed?'
''Yes But we haven't accepted them" !"
said Mr. Ely rather sharply. Then he
went on to say, 'McDermott didn't think
we had enough money in that assess
ment account to make collection of
S35,000."
but there wasn't that much in that
accountT
I'VE have it now, and more. too"
'sThen it is about settled that you
won't use that $4,000"
I'VE may not was the Treasurer's s
reply as he started in the direction of
the City Hall.
