being satisfied the property was sold at
eonstable's sale on February 6 to Isadore
Herman, who afterward sold the proper
ty by bill of sale to Bernard Tucker.

in their apartments for three weeks.
Tucker was represented in court by

HAD ENTERED A BAGGAGE CAR

Police Justice Frank J. Higgins, in the
First Criminal Court this morning, found
four boys, the Oldest sixteen years old
and the youngest eleven years, guilty of
having broken into the baggage car of
which was lying on Erie Railroad tracks
Sunday last, and stealing the contents of
the trunk of +. G. Caus, the chief cleo
trician. The boys stole stage lamp and
over dozen valuable tools, as well as
the working clothes of Gaus. They con-
fessed their guilt and were paroled in the
custody of Probation Officer Richard
Stevens.
Mr.. Stevens now has over twenty small
boys from the Horseshoe section of Jer-
sey City in his custody for stealing from
the Erie Railroad. Three of the boys
arraigned this morning, Joseph Lukan-
itsch, thirteen years old, of III Tenth
street; Benjamin Haussmann, thirteen
years old, and William HaussmaIn, six
teen years old, of 145 Ninth street, were
arrested upon warront. Frank Lukan-
itsch, eleven years old, appeared as a
witness, and told the story of the robbery,
duplicating himself. He was arrested in
court. The boys told in a matter of fact
way how they entered the car by picking
the lock, and how after locking one of
their playmates, Frank Smith, eleven
years old, in the baggage car for an hour
to scare him, they turned him out and
breaking open Gauss trunk took all the
contents that could be disposed of to
junkmen. The boys divided the plunder
and took it home.
The father of the Lukanitsch boys dis
covered a pair of rubber gloves and a
pair of plyers in the house, and question
ing his sons learned of the robbery. He
went to the Haussmann home and secur-
ed from the Haussmann boys the balance
of the plunder, which he turned over to
Erie Railroad detectives. The Erie off
GERS told him they would not press the
complaint, but yesterday morning applied
for warrant for the boys. Special OFF,
Ger Brown, of the Erie, tried to get
Judge Higgins to hold the boys for the
Grand Jury, as, he said, he wanted to
have them convicted by the higher court
and sent to Reform School. None of the
boys had been arrested before. Judge
Higgins declared that his aim was to
keep boys out of Reform School, not to
send them there. Gaus did not appear
in the case. heing on the road with the
Hackett troup.

supporting public cemetery, splendid

ment of the River Trent and effective po-
lice and fire departments"
Comparing the cost of local govern
ment with that of Jersey City and New
ark, the speaker said, it was necessary
to include the cost to the cities of Coun-
ty government, because in Nottingham
that item cannot be separated. =
1t must also be noted that each of the
three cities receives part of the cost of
its local government from State taxes,
collected by the State throughout its ter
ritory. The State returns to each city
a part which is designed to be proportion
ed. 1t excludes the water
rates in the three cities because these
rates are rather a compensation for goods
sold than a tax, and because in each city
the water supply is self-sustaining.
Omitting water rates, the total sum ta-
ken by taxation from the taxpayers of
the city and from the taxpayers form the
State to pay cost of local government, in
Guiding the city's share of County gov
ernment:-
In Newark fiscal year 1902, $3,S61,-
062; in Jersey City (fscal year 19O2-O3),
So, ,314, ,730; in Nottingham fiscal year
1902-03), $1,995,21 In each case these
figures cover total cost of local govern
ment. The share OF taxes paid
by Newark for Countw purposes, exclu-
sive of State school tax, was $687, ,992;
by Jersey City, $55O,oG3. The sums
contributed by the State from State taxes
was much less to Nottingham than to
Newark and Jersey City. Newark receiv-
ed $454, ,952, Jersey City SOL, ,667 and
Nottingham $212, ,S19. The
amount paid by the towns-people from
local taxes were in Newark Sc, ,406, 10,
in Jersey City $2,613,063 in Nottingham
81, ,762, ,4o5.
Much other interesting statistical and
other information and comparisons of
city governments were made. In respect
of the debts, which must be paid by tax
alton, the figures went to show that those
of Jersey City and Nottingham are near
ly the same, while Newark's is less; but
that the English city had very much
more to show for it in useful but nom
revenue producing institutions.
Counsellor Hartshorne was given a
vote of thanks.
