Small Property Oscners to Reap
Benefit of Nesc Policy.

The revision os the city's tax rolls ana the
bringing Of assessed valuations up TO as near a
full value basis as possible shifts TREMENDOUS
burden in the aggregate, from the shoulders
Of the smaller taxpayers. and distributes h
among the larger taxpayers.
From figures given out last night ps
President James L. Wells. OF the Tax Board
it is apparent that owner; OF property valued
at from $500 to $1,000 will pay about 90 per
cent less than last year. Inssmuch as the net
budget is only Is orAl4 per cent less than last
wear. il would seem that a large part or the
difference will have to be borne by the owners
Of the larger parcels
An examination OF the figures submitted ior
tentative inspection by President Wells yester-
dAv indicates that the suburbanites will hur-ah
for the revision.
Controller Grout and President Wells estimate
thar the new tax rate will be l.6o or less. ana
that if the sinking fund reorganization piah
goes through the rate will be reduced TO ABOUT
As as against Do last year.
AS basis of comparison president "ehs
furnishes a tabulation. BY means of this, ana
nv cou1parison with last years tax bills. the
ho1se owner can figure out for hirnseh just
about what his tax will be without waiting
for the confirmation of the rolls in July next

The Peoples Symphony Concerts Society In
corporated at Albany.

The Peoples Symphony Concerts Society, under
the auspices of which concerts have been given IN
the last two seasons and this year, has been IN
corporated at Albany and is therefore in a posi-
ton to receive requests and donations as a cor
porate body. The object of the society is botn
philanthropc and educational. in providing mu-
steal instruction and enlightenment for muslcai
students wage earners and the people generally at
nominal rates of admission. At present the So
ciety is confirming itself to series of orchestral
concerts given once month at Cooper Union Hail.
by an orchestra of fiftyfour performers. with the
assistance of soloiss. under the conductorshlp OF
Hermann Hans Wetzler. Arthur Mees' waiter
Damrosch Frank Damrosch and F. y. Arens, re-
spectively.
The price of admission to the concerts is nomi-
nal and Cooper Union Hall is usually crowded at
each concert III some cases many nave oeen
turned away after the full capacity Of the stand
ing room has been sold out feature of these
concerts is the brief explanatory talk preceding
each orchestral number. The vocal ana lhstru-
mental soloists who assist give their services in
variably without remuneration.
AS the movement contemplated by these concerns
grows the number of the concerts is to De IN
creased. Thus at least ten concerts are in view
for next season. The greatest obstacle to the en-
tire success of the concerts for the present lies III
the hall itself. which has been pronounced ABOUT
as unsuited to orchestral concerts as it well can
he ;, It is the hope of the management. therefore,
that suitable hall may be erected for the purpose
in the future This and Rerrmanda afrd i T1
the current expenses of the movement are intended
to place the entire enterprise on substantial ana
sef-sustaining basis. r.,
The charter of the society provides for the fol-
lowing kinds of membership: Founders patrons
and life members. with dues amounting TO S2oU1,
5000 and 500 respectively. and annual members;
with dues ranging from 800 down to 81. Inc laSl
named amount was decided in order to give the
poorest subscriber to these concerts an opportunity
to become member of the organization. ,

sioners, to which Governor Odell referred IN MS
message has been shown i'll many cases IN recent
wears In all such cases the courts have ordered
reinstatement because of some technical Nav IN the
record of the trial. not because the courts thoash
the dismissed were worthy to remain mem

been the more subversive of police discipline be-

carried into the courts before he was tried and

instatement was still in the lower courts When he
was arrested on July %, 1885, in company with the
notorious burglars "Ned" Farrell and Pete
Emerson for n desperate attempt to rob Charles
Smith the assistant cashier of the Orange National
Bank in Hoboken. Smith had $4,000 in cash for the
payment of employees Of the Delaware. Lackawanna

Trenton prison for ten years Notwithstanding this
conviction which shut him forever out of the police
force his case was continued in the New York
courts and his counsel obtained judgments for his
force up to the time he was convicted in New
Jersey. Finally the Court of Appeals gave de-
cision on Nav s. 1889 to reinstate him the force.
This decision was useless 10 him because he was
still in Trenton prison and the record of mis- con-
viction for attempted robbery was bar against
which even decision of the highest court in the
State could not prevail. Nugent dropped out Of
sight after his release from prison about ten years
ago and his former associates in the police force
lost all trace of him.
