1t is to be hoped that the Commits
sioners of Appeal can do something to
relieve the factories in Perth Amboy
of the heavy burden of taxation which
the new assessors placed upon them.
A glance at the duplicates shows
that the factories have been hit very
hard. In many cases the assessments
have been doubled and even more.
This is a stab at the most vital part
of the city. Perth Amboy is not a
residential place. Its very life de-
pends on the factories that are here.
It's future prosperity depends upon the
prosperity OF these concerns and the
establishment here of more like them.
Perth Amboy has been exceedingly
fortunate in winning industries.
Nature has done for this city what no
man could do, but mar a overcome
this advantage, and the quickest way
to do it is to put a prohibitive tax
rate on industries.
All through the New England states
there are towns and small cities which
will not only give a site for a factory
: to locate. but as an extra inducement,
will give them taxes free for ten
years. These places have natural
advantages, but they want the indus
tries. Perth Amboy has done little
for the manufactures which have
located here. Most of them came of
their own accord and were satisfied
to take things as they were. The city
should maintain a policy to bring
more here instead of doing everything
in their power to not only prevent
new corners but drive away what it
already has.
Contrary to the belief of a great
many, all the con Germs he1e are not
making q mint of money. Some of
them have little more than paid ex-
Ienses. They give employment to
many of our citizens and for that
reason, if no other, should be encour-
aged and assisted in every way posi-
BILE.
No citizen in the city, no matter
how much his own tax assessment has
been advanced, wants to see the fac
tories closed. The aldermen, when

their time in talking and when the
limit was reached, shifted the whole
responsibility on the Commissioners.
The future of Perth Amboy demands
that the assessments on the factories
be reduced.

The Board of Aldermen have, as yet
taken no action on the petition to
place a top coating of asphalt Oh State
street. The News is in favor of pave
ments, and that part of State street
between Smith street and Hall avenue
cannot be improved too soon. Recent
investigation, howeve shows that
there is no sewer in State street be-
tween Smith and Market streets. Ad-
hitting that that block should be
asphalted as we'll as the rest, such a
pavement should not be put down
until a sewer is built. Begin at the
bottom, is the proper rule in improv-
ing a street. Sewer, water and gas

ALLIED BY FAMILY TIES.
Pro-Russian Policy Assured by Advent
of New kinC

Paris, June 12.-The startling an.
nouncement of the assassination of
the king and queen of Seryia caused
a deep sensation here, particularly in
government circles. Officials of the
foreign Office say it is too soon to in
dicate clearly the effect of the situa-
ton in Servia on the European situa-
ton.
The new king is well known here,
having frequently visited this city. He
has cousin. Prince Bodijar Kara
georgevitch, living on the Avenue 0u
Bois de Boulogne, who took part in
the French campaign in Tonquin and
was decorated with the cross OF the
Legion OF Honor In an interview
Prince Bodijar said he considered
that popular hatred of Queen Draga
was largely responsible for the events
at Belgrade. He added that his
cousin, the new king, had long as
pired tC the Servian throne and de-
clared that the family was closely
allied to Russia, thus assuring pro.
Russian policy in Servia.
Dr. Petrovitch of the Servian lega-
tion described the new king as a stu
dent of affairs of state, as being in
tensely animated by Servia's political
destinies and as an admirer of Rus
STA The newly proclaimed king, DR..
Petrovitch added, is sending his son to
St Petersburg, where he will be edu-
Gated at the expense of the imperial
court of Russia.

KINGS COURSE OBJECTIONABLE.
Servian Minister in London Discusses
the Assassination.

London, June 112-M Mijatovitch,
Servian minister at London, confirms
the reported assassination of the king
and queen of Servia.
The Servian minister said there
We're many causes leading to the revo-
luton. A large section of the people
were greatly dissatisfied with the tend
ency of King Alexander to eliminate
the radical element from the govern
ment and by the constant rumors of
his intention to appoint Queen Draga's
brother. Lunjevitza. heir apparent. In
addition to this the queen was dis
liked by the people. who were also
intensely outraged at the recent sus-
pension OF the constitution. The min
lister did not anticipate that the
changes would result in internecine
strife or in any real danger to the
country. . He points out that the orig
inal karageOrge was not prince. He
was a rich swine owner. Tie father
of the new king was made a prince in
1872
The minister also related curious
incident. He said that month ago
he was present at a clairvoyant's
seance at which letter written by
the murdered king was handed to the
clairvoyant, who Immediately became
violently agitated and proclaimed that
King Alexander would be assassinated
very shortly and even depicted the
scene which appears to have been en-
acted at the palace at Belgrade during
the night.
The tragedy at the palace at Bel
grade. marking the latest of the revo
lutions which have convulsed Servia
from time to time during the past cen
tury, is not regarded in diplomatic
circles in London as likely to lead t
civil war. Stress is laid on the un
popularity of King Alexander since
his marriage to Queen Draga. Kinl
AleXander's successor Peter Kara
| georgevitch, is a son-in-law of the
Prince OF Montenegro and is regard
ed as being most acceptable to the
people.

St. Louis, June 12-The situation In
East St. Louis remains about the
same. The flood on the south is still
being held back at Missouri avenue
where the levee Is watched unceasing
ly. as elsewhere, by thousands OF
workers ready with bags of sand to
stop any break that may occur. A de-
cline in the rivers stage of a frac.
ton of an inch does not make any ap-
food, but shows that the river has a
tendency to fall. The stage at a. m.
was 37.9. This may relieve the situa
tion greatly during the day If the fall
continues but until there is decided
decline in the food the city will be at
the mercy of the wall Of water that
surrounds 1t on three sides.
The night was cold for this time Of
the year and there was considerable
suffering as a result among the thou.

East Side, most Of whom. however.
were taken care of in comparative
comfort in tents and other modes of
shelter
Lack of drinking water is one of the
worst incOnveniences suffered by the
East St. Louisians who were caught
in the second stories Of their dwellings
by the food. Many are compelled to
drink of water that Surrounds them on
all sides, and much sickness is likely
to result ii this continues.

Congressman w. A. Rodenburg, who
