Albert Wrensch Elected Grand Chief
Jefferson, and Will Become Grand
Chief Washington Next Year.

ed Grand Chief Jefferson of the Grand
Circle of New Jersey, Brotherhood cf
America, at the convention held at Vine
land last Monday and Tuesday. Mr..
Wrensch has advanced step by step from
the lowest office In the grand circle until
now he is next to the head. The next
convention will be held at Atlantic City
next September. when Mr.. Wrensch will,
by virtue of his present office, be elected
Grand Chief Washington. This will bring
the headquarters of the order to Montclair,
which Will be the first time hat the head
of the order has been chosen from North
Jersey.
An important change was made in the
sick committee laws Heretofore the three
head officers OF the subordinate circles
composed the sick committee. This was
the means Of keeping many business and
professional men from accepting office, as
they would be unable to visit the sick as
often as required by the order, especially
where circles have from SEQ to 1000 mem
bers. The law was changed so that circles
can. If they so desire, elect sick COM
mittees and recompense them for their
services.
MIR. Wrensch will visit George B. Nc
Clellan Circle in West Orange tonight, and
present a flag to IL. The flag was put up
for competition in Essex County by Mr..
Wrensch for the circle hat would initiate
the most candidates between September 1,
1906. and September l, 1907. The Mcclellan
Circle won.

R TAX FIGHT
SPRINGFIELD Professors
MUST SHOW EVIDENCE.
County Tax Board Asks for Testimony
on Excessive Assessments Before
Lowering Them.

The committee in Springfield appointed
to secure a reduction of assessments last
night reported at a public meeting that
1t had met with the Union County Tax
Board regarding the protest on the as
sessments and was told that If it could be
proved to the Tax Board by the COM
mittee that any taxpayer had been assess
ed excessively the board would remedy
il, AID would also go over the township
book with the committee and reassess
the other properties with a view of equal
izing the assessment. This report was
made to the meeting by Freebooter Peter
II. Meisel, and on motion of Kelsey r.
Hastings the committee was continued to
see the matter to a finish.
Another point which the committee
pressed before the board, it was reported,
was that adjoining townships were not
paying their share of the county taxes
and the committee was told that it was
UP to it to see that they were made to do
SO. If this suggestion CT the board is
followed out the ommitte will find that
1t has stirred up a fight not only In its
own place. but also in adjoining towns.
Since the new law has gone into erect
the township assessor has made an hon
est effort to live up to 1t. Two years ago
he increased the townships duplicate from
something like $4,000 to nearly $500, 900.
This year he made several increases but
could not tell how much, as his figures
were not completed when the county board
got nOld OF the DOCKS ana made the IN
creases complained Of making the dupli-
cate this year $94S, 066. Among the larger
increases was the property Of Stewart
Hartshorn, who owns considerable prop
erty and the assessors valuation of $500
an acre was increased to $500. Mr.. Harris
horns property at the pumping station
was also doubled. Enoch Miller's prop
erty in the Branch Mills section was in
creased from $500 to 5000. Property of
William Flemer, also In the same section,
and which was bought for $50 an acre,
was increased from $50 to 500 an acre,
while across the line in another township
property more desirable was allowed to
remain at $65 an acre. Theodore D.. Sick
ley. who WINS four acres along Westf1eld
avenue, which Is some of the lowest land
In the township and part of the time under
water, was increased from $50 to $3.50 an
acre. On several small properties, those
of Fister and Ferguson, in Short Hills
avenue, the assessments were doubled.
Terry Gavin, in Westf1eld avenue, was
also lacked up from $1,000 to $500. The
Louis Keller property, over which the
fight was last year, and which was re-
duced from $150.O0 to $4,000, was raised
this year to $105, 900.
