amounted to 81 ,2235, 107 90, or $50, ,956.7 4
less than the taxes received at the City
Collectors office during the correspond

The shortage is said to be due TO the
many appeals which have been made by
property owners for reductions in their
assessed valuations. Many corporations
which have been in the habit of paying
their taxes promptly heretofore, have re-
Trained this year from. liquidating their
obligations to the city because they in

They Hope tas Mayor Will

PROPERTY OWNERS PROTEST

People owning property in the vicinity
of Gairisoa and De Kalb avenue are
any:ohsly awaiting the fate of the reso-
lution passed by the late lamented Excise
Board giving Stevens & Lowande per-
mission to open i liquor saloon at No.
2 Garrison avenue on transfer. The
resolution is before Mayor Pagan for
his approval or disapproval
The Mayor said today that before
acting ON the resolution he viii do lit
tie sight seeing ii The neighbeallood of
the proposed saloon in order TO get the

1t is said on good authority that Pagan
was rather puzzled over the action of cx-
Excise Commissioners Siebeft, Mason,
O'Brien and Downing in rushing the
transfer through shortly before they were
ordered to go out of business by the SD
preme Court in the face Of very earnest
protest from Il large delegation of prop

posed saloon would greatly deprcc.ilta the
value of their real estate haldihgs
WANTS AN EXPLANATION

The people who protested bitterly re-
sent the inference that they Interested
themselves in the matter as IN aid to a

the Republican saloon solely because it
would have tendency to deprec.ate

BIC CLOTHING HOUSE THERE


The old City Hail at Newark avenue
and Cooper place, which for almost half
a century served as the municipal build
ing in this city. is to be torn down and
a new 6ve-story brick building erected
on its site.
The old hall was bought MT auction
frcln the city six years ago by Patrick
H. Hanley for S27, 500. Mr.. Hanley has
used it ever since for storage purposes.
He has now decided to-have the old
structure removed and new building
erected which viii be credit to the
city.
The first three floors of the huilding
will be occupied as a general clothing
and furnishing store by Charles Baum,
who was formerly with Bernstein q Co.
negotiations for the lease Of the floors
by Mr.. Baum were practically closed
today and, with the exception of few
minor details, everything is now ready
for carrying out the undertaking The
two tep floors will be used By Mr.. Ham
ley as furniture warerooms.
THE NEW BUILDING.
The new building win be formidable
brick and iron structure and will con-
tain all the latest Improvements The
plans were prepared by Architect Her
man Kfeitler of Newark. In the centre
will be a large rotunda extending from the
reef to the 6rst focr. There viii be two
elevators. The store frontage will ex-
tend on Cooper place as we'll as on New
ark avenue, all of which win be glass.
The bniIaing will cost in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000.
Tae cearact fer raising the old hall
vii be awarded at the earliest possible
moment. Although eyesg effert win be
made to push the work. it is not likely,
however. that the driving of riises for tire
new building win be b9gan before
March 1. The hall is now full of house,
hold goods. the removal of which will
take considerable ti.nc.
When Mr.. IIaniey bought the old hall
from the city for S27, 900, it was gener-
ally conceded that he got bargain.
SIEGEL-COOPER CO.'S FACTORY.
The Siegel-Cooper Co., of New York,
have leased the old umbrella factory of
Winter & Ball. at Thirteenth and Grove
streets, for the purpose of manufactur-
ing tinware and other articles. The
lease, it is said, will go into effect as
soon as the present occupants can wind
mp their business affairs. Winter & Ball
are ameng the oldest manufacturers in
this city. They have manufactured UNI
hrellas for many years and at one time
employed many hands. In recent years,
however owing to the cut in prices eff
fected by the operators Of large depart
meEt stores, the business has not been
so prosperous.
The news that the Siegel-Cooper Co.
intend to occupy tile old factory is re-
ceiyed with interest, as it is said that
many more hands viii be employed
thus enabling members of families in the
Horseshoe section to obtain reday em-
ployment.
The old factory is four-story brick
building. The new lessees will renovate
it both inside and out and make it look
like new structures 1t is said that
they will also enlarge the plant.
