The reports of the officers Of the
town Of Mortified are nearly all in
the hands of the printer and it is ex-
pected that the report win be issued
the last of this week. The assets of
the town are given as $4,912.61 as
against S4,s22.74 in the report of 1904.
The liabilities are given as ST. ,045.sS as
against $2,113.03 in 1904. Thus it APP
pears that there is very favorable
showing for the past year, the assets
having been increased Ss9.s7 while the
liabilities have been reduced $1,045.88.
The question as to the vote of the town
on license is being discussed to quite
an extent and there seems to be wide
difference of opinion as to whether it
win be a yes OF no vote. The present
almost unlimited Illegal selling viii be
a factor in the consideration of the
question, but nobody Is able to guar
antee that it would be abated to any
great extent If saloons were voted into
existence in Mortified again.

the anchor ice had, been drawn around
the strainer SO tightly that the water
was entirely shut off After being dis
covered the trouble was soon overcome
and the water ran as usual. The sup

action of the aldermen in setting a hearing for
day in June the application Of the Bel

for routes made by other interests, refusing all

Rapid Transit Railroad Commissioners. Meanwhile
the board has obtained through its counsel Latin
Kellogg. acting for taxpayer, temporary injunc
ton restraining the Board of Estimate acting on
the routes Of the Rapid Transit Commission. The
plan is to try to have this injunction made perna
nent that there be no decision by the Appel

On the application of Corporation Counsel Deany.
the presiding justice of the Appellate Division de-
cded that the matter could be disposed of until
continue the injunction, 'pendente lite all the
preliminary work and action of every kind on the
proposed rapid transit routes would be delayed un-
til then.

Many Would-be Buyers, Despite the With
drawal of Jones, Herbert and Colvin.

Jones & Co. and the Herbert-CoIyin syndicate had
withdrawn their bids for the Hudson Valley Rail-
way securities. these bids having been, respective
ly sS750O0 and $500 he went on performance of
the latter bid might be insisted on. The directors
had duly authorized an agent to accept a bid of
$3.50 Oo0 and he followed their Instructions accepting
the Herbert-Colvin bid for that amount, the con-
sideratfon of the transaction being mutual con-
sent.
The subsequent acceptance Of that bid. this di-
rector continued, by the board, was a mere formal
ity, and not necessary, under the circunl-
stances. In addition to the Jones and Herbert Col
win bids, he said the board had received COM
munication from two brokers, asking to be allowed
20 put in bid for the Hudson River Valley and
company and offering to deposit certified check

pared to forward with offer for the entire
