FIREMEN ARE INTEREsTED.

The firemen here and throughout
the entire greater city will watch
with interest the bill that Fire Com
missioner Francis J. Lantry will have
introduced in the legislature at Al
bany to the effect that all firemen
who are killed In the discharge of
duty shall leave more competent
pension than they do at present. I'm
der the rule relatives receive only
one-half of the salary he was re-
ceiving at the time he was killed. In
the case of a fourth grade fireman this
amounts to only S400 The maxi
mum for first grade fireman is
$1,000. The attention of the COM
missioner, it is said, was attracted
to the matter by thesdeath of Thomas
J.. Lennon and Daniel c. Campbell in
the Roosevelt street fire week ago.
Lennon left a good position to go in
to the fire department about nine
months ago. and a widow and three
young children survive him. Camp
bell was unmarried, but left parents.

JERSEY CITY TEAM WON.

Before one of the largest audiences
Saturday night at the Knights OF
Pythias hall, in Amboy avenue, this
place, the crack team of the West
Side Five, of Jersey City, defeated
the knights of Pythias basketball
team by score of % to IL. The
game was one of the fastest that has
been played here so far this season.
The visitors were the stronger of the
two and by their fine team work pre-.
vented the home team from scoring
in the first half The features of the
game was the playing of Van Alstyle
and G. Nixon, of the Jersey City
team, who each had three baskets to
their credit. The baskets scored by
the local team were Schneider, three,
Fisher two and Boyce one made in
the last half Aside from the uncall-
ed for kissing on the part of some or
the spectators at the referee on sever
al fouls made by the local team, the
game was as clean as any that has
been played on this court. The ref
cree, in the first half, was Eugene
Cline, of the locals, and G. Merrill, of
Jersey City, in the second. The time
keepr was James Lee. Time of game,
two twenty-minute halves. There
was dancing before and after the
game. Music was by Steinhauser's
orchestra.
The game scheduled for next Sat
urday night will be with the fast st.
Peters team, of New Brighton.

MATTER OF TAXATION.

BY request of a taxpayer the corre-
spondent of the NEWS sends the fol-
lowing for publication. IN the first
place. the taxpayer says there should
be a. least one man appointed from
each township and borough for the
adjustment in errors of assessment t
for taxes for the reason hat man
mol knowing anything in reference 10
the property that comes before him
for adjustment is hardly competent
to judge whether the ass essment
should be reduced or no.. Now this
taxpayer claims that his property has
deterorated in value from former as
sessments, that his property is as
sessed the same as when he received
in rents for the same $40 per month
and this same property he only nov
receives about one-half that sum II
rents, yet he is assessed the same
amount and again there are some
vacant lots on Bergen Hill that were
reduced by the commission to the
same assessment as those on the OPP
posite side of the street when the
party owning those lots that were re-
duced had been offered $500 per lot
and would not take less than S400
per lot. So you see we are great
deal worse off than under the old law.
If we must have advanced ideas and
good fat salaries for incumbents in
office, let us have one from each local.
ity that they may be enabled to form
a Just and correct idea of the proper
ties they are called to pass upon.
VIII not some of our assemblymen
introduce a bill to have one from
each taxing district or else return to
similar to the old system.

NEED MORE POLICEMEN.

There appears to be in every COM
munity number of persons who lack
common sense and decency Friday
night two of our citizens had occasion
to 60 to Mcchanicsville on an errand
and in their arms they carried several
breakable articles. AS they passed
through what is called the Hole In
the Wall they were greeted with a
volley of snowballs coming from
about twenty so-called young men on
Wentzel's corner The parties, see
ing that any attempts to retaliate
would be futile, took to flight. The
balls were compressed as hard as pos
sible and were almost like throwing
balls of ice and the result was the
parties were not only abused, but
their wares were broken. We would
have thought this might have been
thoughtlessness on the part of the
aggressors if they had ceased when
the parties were beyond their reach.
but just at this time two foreigners
came along carrying some pictures.
We presume they were peddlers. They
were greeted in the same manner and
they were not satisfied with this dis
play of ungentlemanly and lawless
conduct, but commenced an attack
upon some young ladies coming down
the street and who were compelled
10 endure their snow and insulting
language as there was no one to come
to their rescue. We do not blame the
police, as there is such few of them,
but we would say that Mechanicsville
needs policeman as much as any
other portion of the borough, and
when adding to the police force, why
was not an addition made to cover
Mechanicsville? Some one has said
why not appeal to the authorities.
We have several justices of the peace
and a recorder, If we enter COM
plant to the justices they tell us to
90 to the recorder, that is his busi-
ness. We think at least when COM
plants are made the justices and re-
corder should give the matter hear
ing.
Hoping this will bring our ofiiciary
to thinking on the matter of griev-
ances of our citizens, we await re-
suits.
