MERELY
MENTIONED

The action of the County Board OF
Health in appointing Eugene Leake as
Counsel when the Board Of Freeholders
had already given a reappointment to
Counselor Alexander Simpson was
topic for discussion in political circles last
night Both the Board of Freeholders
and the Board Of Health claim to possess
the appointing power. There viii be no
conflict, however, as the Board of Free
holders will waive its right to make the
appointment This viii leave Simpson
ont and Leake will be the legal adviser
to the Health Board and will draw the
$1,000 a year salary that goes with the
Office. 1t had been expected that some
thing Of this kind would happen Botll
Simpson and Leake are Democrats and
organization ones at that. Counsellor
Simpson is supporting the candidacy Of
John ]. Heavey for Sheriff, and in his
eagerness to advance that gentlemans s IN
terests he has offended the organization
by making an attack on the party lead
ers. In doing this he has been severely
criticized, even by some of Mr.. Heayey $
most earnest advocates. Whether his
iooseness of tongue had anything to do
with the appointment by the Board Of
Health of Counsel other than Mr.. Simp-
son is not known. But when Mr.. simp-
son went out Of his way TO say unkind
things Of the party leaders he practically
invited their displeasure, and # he lost
his job in consequence he has no one TO
blame but himself.

ASK SHADE TREES
Hudson City Business Mems
Association Urges the Al
dermen to Appoint a
Commission to
Plant.

President Kohl and DR.. q. Allen, rep
resenting the Hudson Business Mems
Association, last night appeared before
the Board of Aldermen and asked that
body to take action relative TO the ap-
pointment of commission to look after
the planting, protection and caring for
shade trees along the streets of the city.
DR. Allen, who spoke first on the sub
ject, called the attention of the Board to
law PASSED in 1893, authorizing the
appointment of such commission. to
be composed of three members, who
must serve without compensation, and
who shall have absolute power to "set
out, protect and care' for such trees.
He alluded to the commission as Shade
Trees Commission. The Doctor exhibited
a letter from the Corporation Counsel
stating that the Board of Aldermen was
the proper body to lay the matter before.
He said the subject was one that should
appeal to the pride of every good citizen;
that the planting of trees along the
streets should be done in uniform man
ner and not in patches Nothing, he said,
improves a city so much as trees, and he
pointed out Buffalo, Detroit and Wash
ington, the Nations Capital
The Doctor said the law had been on
the statute book for twelve years. and
that it was time the city should take
advantage Of it; Newark had done so,
and its Shade Tree Commission had
planted Eve miles Of trees. Newark, he
said. should be allowed to rival this city
in nothing. The cost to the property
owners, claimed the Doctor, was a mere
bagatelle. The law prescribed he said.
that the Commissioners must advertise
for two weeks. the locations selected for
the planting Of trees. and whatever the
cost, it would be paid at the time by the
city, and become lien on the property
thus improved
DR.. Allen asked the Board that if il
did not see fit to take action last night
It would consider the matter and take ac-
tion at the next meeting or as soon as
possible.
President Kohl. Of the same associa-
tion, reiterated briefly the Doctors argu-
ments and declared that now was the
time to beautify the city and make it at
tractiye to home seekers. All the peo-
pie in the Hudson City section, he said,
favored the appointment Of such com
mission, ana he thought the Board would
iId ali the Improvement associations in
the city endorsing the proposition.
Mayor Fagan would have the power
to select the members of such a commits
sion.
DR.. Allen and MR.. Kohl spoke during
a recess ordered for the occasion, and
soon after left the assembly rooom No
communication or proposition was sub
mitted in writing and no action on the
matter was taken by the Board last
night.

Some one started report that veto
message submitted 70 the Board Of Free
holders BY Supervisor Wittpenn and
which would not make pleasing reading
for some other members of that body, had
mysteriously disappeared. Mr.. Wittpenn
admits that he sent message to the
board at its last meeting, and explains
that the reason it was not read was that
the meeting was held for a specific par-
pose. He expects that the veto will come
up at the regular meeting of the board.
If it has been mislaid, which he does not
think probable, it won't make very much
difference as Mr. Wittpenn has copy
which he will submit in its place Out
Of courtesy to the board Mr.. Wittpenn
declines to discuss the subject of the
veto, but he is very certain that no one
has gone to the trouble Of getting rid Of

so offending would have his trouble for
his pains. "The veto viii be read Of that

tooth out. and but one or two slight
cavities that required filling. On the
other hand, we are repeatedly called
upon TO make artificial teeth for very
young persons. I attribute It to the
use of the hard toothbrush, which Is

II I but knew the poets art,
The first thing I would do
Would be to choose my choicest phrase.
And sing a song to you.
Id sing the glory of your hair.
The splendOr Of your eyes.
The beauty OF your tender soul
That deep within them lies.
I'd sing the softness of your voice,
The sweetness of your face,
And then In glowing words depict
Your loveliness and grace.
I'D sing the charm your presence has.
The beauty of your form.
The witchery of your rounded arms,
So shupely. soft and warm
I'd sing your cleverness and tact.
Your brightness and your wit.
And every day find some new charm
That might sing of it.
Oh that knew the poets art.
As happier lovers do.
That might choose each choicest phras
And sing u song to you!
