ASSESSORS SUSTAINED
Masonic Temple Remains in the
List of Taxable Property.
Public wharf Committee Recommends
sequestration of 100 Feet of Lake
Front which the Central ver-
mont Railway Co. Claims.

The board of civil authority at its
meeting Monday evening sustained the ac-
ton of the assessors In placing the
Masonic Temple in the list of taxable
property; the city council filled vacan-
cies in the wharf committee and in the
electric light commission and the
board of aldermen transacted a large
amount of routine business. All mem
bcrs of the bodies were present except
Aldermen lombard and Russell.
BOARD OF CIVIL AUTHORITY.
The board of civil authority, which
consists of the mayor and the mem
bers of the board of aldermen, met
first to consider appeals from the acts
of the city assessors. The principal
appellant as for several years past,
was the Grand Lodge of Vermont,
which body, through It's attorney. II. $.
Peck, took exceptions to the action of
the assessors in placing the Masonic
Temple property in the tax list Judge
Peck spoke at length on the subject,
claiming the property should be ex-
empt under the laws of Vermont. He
told of the general law of exemption
of property held for charitable, rclig
/
said that the act of 1904 does not af-
feet charitable organizations. The
Masonic fraternity. he said, is char
| table Organization. 1t does not vaunt
its charity or publish 1t in the news
| papers but It relieves a large number
of people who would otherwise become
public charges.
It was, he said, understood when the
! to tn1 in
lington that it was not to be taxed
There was, then, a moral obligation
resting on the former board as well
as on It's successors. The act of the
assessors in putting the property ir
the list is, he continued, simply the
testimony of three men on the ques-
! ton. That testimony, the speaker
argued. should not control the board
of civil authority In it's action.
Part of the Temple is rented and IL
is fact that "A portion OF the income
thus derived is diverted to charitable
uses. When the building is paid for
all of the income will be devoted &c
charitable purposes.
Alderman Courtney opposed the ex-
emption of the Temple property, say
ing that the charity which it dispense'
is class charity and that if the Temple
is exempt from taxation it should b,
by a vote of the citizens in city meet
ing.
The motion of Alderman Courtney
that the board sustain the board Of
assessors in placing the Masonic TEN
pie in the list of taxable property was
then carried.
Two more appeals were received. One
was from George d. Wright. praying that
certain property of his on Conger avenue
! which the assessors had listed at 81 600
be assessed at 81 200 The other was from
Mr.. Wright individually and as admins
traitor of the estate of F. w. Wright ask
ing that other property on Conger avenue
be listed at 200 instead of 81 zoo. The
board voted TO sustain the assessors IT

made

calty for relief from sewer assess
ment on Intervale avenue between Oak
and North Bend streets was referred to
the street commissioners.
city Attorney Macomber gave his
opinion with reference to the cancella-
ton of the bond of NJ. Mishel formerly
constable. The opinion is to the effect
that If Mr. Mishel has FULFILLED all the
obligations of his bond, neither he nor
his sureties are under any liabailty
and a cancellation of the bond would
confer no benent on them II Mr..
Mishel has failed to perform any OF the
obligations of his bond then the oblig-
ors are liable and the bond ought not
to be cancelled, for II cancelled the
city would have no remedy against the
sureties. If Mr.. Mishel's accounts have
been audited and If he has made n final
settlement with the city, that would
seem to effect a sufficient discharge Of
the sureties on the bond. The report
was accepted and placed on file.

There are millions OF helpless

fnmin is ten times worse than any
that has been in China for the past
forty years. Parents are driven by
The pains OF hunger To sell their
children for mere triile. The
boys are sold for 81 each and the
girls Tor y 80 each. and when they
realize what they have done they
come weeping and offer all the
money they have left to get their
children back. Human flesh is
bought and sold for food Think

hands lifted up to Heaven, and
