AIAYNARD'S FIN L
RECORD.

Editorial Norfolk Nirgiui D. PilotD
Now that the congressional campaiga
ia this district IS on. it is only fair TO
Hon. II l.. Maynard. the present Con
gressman. TO say that he has made a
faithful representative; has been g
hard worker. and. for a new member
has been unusually successful in tax
ing care OF the interests OF his district
This is said With no thought or inten-
ton TO prejudice the case OF any other
who may have it in mind to try for the
nomination but merely ny way II com
mending faithful service.
During the few months that he has
been sitting as 4 member OF the House
Mr.. Maynard has secured an appropria-
tion or 100000 for improving the har-
Dor OF Norfolk. s225. .O0O for dredging

essitate an appropriation for a public

sion, Appropriations aggregating over

THE EVENING POST,
NEW YORK
Editorial Rooms.
October 7. 1902.

Dear SIR
have received your letter of Oct
ober Q in which you ask me to look
at the so-called Bucklin Amendment
of the constitution OF Colorado and
express my opinion of it as desirable
system of taxation, or otherwise.
In reply l beg to say that the Buck
lin bill is not what we understood in
New York rs local option In taxation.
The Bucklin bill merely authorizes
the voters of any county to adopt the
Single Tax system Of Henry George
or to reject it, whenever 100 tax-pay
ers of the county shall put them to
the trouble of passing upon it, but not
oftener than once in four years.
/ presume you do not desire an argu-
ment from me on the subject of the
single tax. Therefore, / will merely
say that if l were citizen of Colora-
do, / should vote against the Bucklin
Amendment and that il the Single Tax
were adopted in any county where l
resided, should move out Of it.
Yours Very Truly,
HORACE WHITE.
JACOB FILLIUS, Pres't.
To the letter addressed to the New
York Sun. the reply came back from
Mr.. Dana, the editor, that it WAS a
square falsehood -
A letter WAS sent to the Manufact-
urers Association, and the League re-
ceived word from the postmaster at
New York stating that the letter had
not been delivered for the reason
that the addressee WAS not known,
and WAS not recorded in the city di-
rectory.
The United Real Estate Owners
Associations replied that at no time
had they adopted any resolution favor.
ing the so-called Australasian Tax
bill or the Henry George Theories,
but had adopted lately resolution
favorinR more strict and honest
tax by assessing all owners of real es.
tate as we'll as personal property on n
basis of about SO per cent.

HENRY r. HART. MYSTERIOUS SILENT
PARTNER IN ArNAMARA & co.
COMMISSIONER CLAUsEN GAVE ADvERTIs-
ING RIGHTS ON PUBLIC LIBRARY
FENCE To FIRM FOR SOol-
PRIVILEGE WORTH SOO0

Corporation Counsel Rives says that Henry
b. Hart. the mysterious silent partner n McNa-
mara & Co. the firm which for two years con
troed the advertising on the fence around the
New-fork Public Library at Forty second st
and Fifth ave. is an extremely close relative of
Harry (" Hart. Tammany leader Of the
N%Xth District This 10 the firm which secured
from Park Commissioner CIausen the privilege
Of using the fence around the library building
for advertising purposes II is asserted by ad-
vertising experts that the privilege was worth
$1,000 year. Mcnamara q Co paid only
$1,000 year for it, and had monopoly in it.
When Park Commissioner Wilcox took hold
of the Park Department the first of the year
he received a complaint from the architects Of
the new Public Library that the use of the
fence for hilbOards unauthorized. He at
once began an investigation. and found that
April 8. 1900. Park Commissioner Clausen had
allowed the firm of Mcnamara & Co. the per
sonal privilege of using the fence for bill
board purposes. The consent could not be
signed by Mcnamara & Co. and the firm appar-
emily did not q assign it. Mr.. Wilcox be
gan action to ouse Mcnamara & Co. from
possession of the fence and the Corporation
CounseI's office TO look up the antecedents Of
the firm of Mcnamara & Co They never we're
able TO discover the identity of Thomas Nc
Namara. but the Company" turned out he
Henry B. Hart" Harry Z. Hart is the Tam
many leader of the NN%th District. Mcnamara
& Co. secured from Supreme Court justice
order restraining the Park Department from in
terferring with the advertising firm who in the
mean time had covered the fence with all sorts
OF damhoNant announcements commissioner
Wilcox took the case 10 the Appellate Division.
Justice Van Brunt decided that the drm Of Nc
Namara & 90. had no right To- the fence. and
that the Park Commissioner tMr. Clausenr had
authority TO give Mcnamara & 60. It's use.
He said. in referring to the jurisdiction Of the
Park Commissioner.
There was no grant Of any property right % the
city which the Commissioner Of Parks had right
70 make on behalf of ths city
And again.
II was beyond the power Of the Park Commits
Sioner TO make any such agreement He
the property committed to his or the
thereof.
Justice Van Brunts opinion concurred in
by his associates. Messrs Patterson. McLaugh-
lin and LaughIin.
This seems TO he one OF the many cases where
authority has been exceeded. and regarding
which nothing is likely to be done The in
vestigation made by the Corporation Coun-
sels office warrants the statement that the
advertising which Mcnamara got for $1,000
year was worth about $1,000 year. Since the
decision Of the Appellate Division was rendered
the fence has been painted green. the archi-
tects designed IL should be
