WOLFF ESTATE WINS SUIT.

Against the Government and Recov-
ers spanish-American War Tax.
Through a opinion just handed down
in-the United States Circuit Court of
Appeals, the government will be OBJ
liged to pay back into the estate of
Abraham Wolff S39, ,977.60, being taxes
collected under the statute to defray
the expenses of the Spanish-American
War. The money was paid to DR..
Herman O. HI. Herold, internal reven-
ue collector under protest, and suits
for it's recovery were started in the
United States District Court.
Judge Cross rendered opinion in this
suit and ordered Judgment entered
against the government for the above
amount. The Court of Appeals af-
firmed his decision.
The opinion in the Wolff case was
rendered by Judge Gray. Wolff, who
was partner in the banking firm of
Loeb & Co., lived in Morristown. I'm
der the provisions Of his will he di-
Vided his millions between his two
daughters. One, wife of Henri p.
Wertheim, died two years after her
father. Her share of his personal
property, which was taxable, was esti-
mated at S2,6417 1853. Upon this the
government imposed a tax of $42,0Sl.9l
In the suit brought by the executors
it was contended that as this amount
was based upon Mrs. Wertheim's ex-
pectancy of life, and because of her
death the government was not en-
titled to the full amount. In his
opinion Judge Gray said
The reasoning contained in the
opinion of the learned trial Judge is
clear and convincing and fully supports
the conclusions reached by him that
the value Of Mrs. Wertheim's life in
terest in the residuary estate Of her
father should be based upon the actual
duration Of her life, and not upon a
fictitious duration derived from life
tables.

BOARD OF
FREEHOLDERS
The Democrats Propose to
Have the Town Control
Its Own Roads.
THE BRIDGE FUND USED UP

The board of freeholders held short
session on Wednesday. A letter from
Albert G. Marcy claimed that his wife
was entitled to damages through ill
ness, the result Of an accident due to
an unprotected road in Passaic town
ship. The letter was referred to the
Passaic bridge committee
A feature Of the report of the fin
ance committee was the fact that it
included the first bills for the services
of Surrogate Young and his assistants.
Mr.. Young received $11506 for twelve
days services, and Deputy Lukeman
S49.30 for that period, which with the
copyist and stenographer, brought up
the expenses to S2O6. To Offset this
the surrogate gave check for s205
receipts of the Office.
The court house and Jail committee
reported the following statistics in
jail at last report, So /: admitted, 81
discharged, AS; remaining, 43. The
jail physician reported seventeen visits
and number of cases of illness.

Bills aggregating $13350 were pre-
Sented against the fox bounty account.
A transfer was authorized of $1,000
from incidentals to freeholders' salary.
The road committee had bills aggre-
eating S2,7l755 for State aid roads
due j. B. Salmon and COfax g Steele
S380.56 for repairs and $751; for snow
removal, all of which were ordered
paid
Collector Mclean while the bridge
bills were being read cautioned the
members that the account is about
empty, except for the money due
from the Morris County Traction Co.
Inquiry after the meeting showed
that the company is indebted to the
county to the amount of between six
and seven thousand dollars. Two of
the bridges where money is due are
finished, while the third, the Landing
bridge, will not be completed for a
couple of months.
The Democrats held caucus before
the meeting and When Ereeh0lder
Neighbour, of Dover, arose, it showed
what had transpired His resolution
called for turning back to Morristown
the roads built within its limits under
the county bonding act, the town to
maintain them in the future.
Director Becker ruled the motion
out of order on the ground that Nor
riStown must make application for the
roads before the freeholders can vote
on it. Mr.. Neighbour insisted that the
town had asked for the roads two
years ago, but the director ruled him
out of order again. Mr.. Neighbour ap-
pealed and the director declared that
he had been sustained. 1t is under
stood that Freeholder Norris opposed
the action in the caucus which took
up some other matters, lone of them
being the question of the date of Or
ganization of the board, the PROPOSE
tion being to organize on January first
rather than in May.
Some CT the members expressed the
opinion after the meeting that mis-
take was made in bringing up the road
matter as a party matter

BOARD OF
ALDERMEN
The Shade Tree Commission
Receives Attention and Ex-
penses Ordered Paid.
NOTHING DOING WITH SEWERS

An adjourned meeting Of the board
of aldermen was held on Friday even
ing with Mayor Bennell and Alderman
Mowery, Arnold, Taylor and Conkling
in attendance.
The Mayor stated that the meeting
was held to consider the sewer bills.
Alderman Mowery said no sewer bills
had been presented. Judge Cutler had
sent away for some court order in the
matter and had not been heard from.
Alderman Mowery moved that 5000
be set aside for the shade tree commits
sion. The members have been paying
the expenses from their own pockets.
They receive no salary and it is proper
that their bills should be paid.
Alderman ConIling asked how long
the commission had been in existence.
Mayor Bennell called on Counsel E. X
Mills to reply. The latter said the
commission was appointed pursuant
to resolution of the board last spring.
The members were f. G.. Burnham,
J.. D. Garfield and B. Ogden Chisolm,
but the latter has resigned. The COM
mission has inspected trees and super
yised trimming and now desires to get
some hooks, some wax, pruning knives,
etc. The act allows one-tenth of one
per cent. of the assessed valuation OF
the town to be used for the commits
sion.
Alderman Conkling thought it well
to defer action until more Aldermen
were present, but the motion was
adopted.
Alderman Mowery moved and it was
so ordered that the commission be
authorized to confer with the town
counsel regarding legal matters.
Alderman Mowery moved that the
term of the contract for lighting the
town building be the same as for
street lighting. He said the term had
been overlooked in the motion.
Alderman Mowery said he had a let
ter from the collector of Morris town
shiprelative to the tax on the quarry
property, in which Mr.. Thompson
said it was on property supposed to be-
long to Morristown. AS he seemed
uncertain, the alderman thought the
matter better go over.
Alderman Mowery asked Alderman
Conkling if be had been satisfied as TO
the questions he had asked at the for
mer meeting.
Alderman Conkling said he under
stood that s., 900 had been set aside.
Alderman Mowery asked if the ques-
tion had not comes from some one OUT
side the board. Alderman Conkling
denied that such was the case, saying
that he wanted information.
Alderman Mowery then said the
$4,000 was in special fund on Janu-
airy l, 1907. From this was spent
$8,147.36 on the building and on Janu-
ary last there was S1,l14.77 due on
the structure. The $4,000 for county
roads has not been paid, but is in the
possession Of the board.
Alderman Conkling asked how much
balance there was January ! and AL
derman Mowery replied in the neigh
borhood of 1000.

FRANCHISE
For Morris township Finally
Granted, the Contestants
Finally Agreeing.
THE ROUTES TO BE FOLLOWED

The adjourned meeting of the Nor
riS township committee to consider
the franchise for the Morris & Somer-
set Electric O., was held on Saturday
afternoon, number of taxpayers and
residents of the township being pres
ent. Although the meeting was called
to meet at palf-past two and tie mem
bers of the committee were present at
that time, the meeting was not called
to order till quarter of four o'clock,
the time being consumed in confer
ence between the officers of the Morris
& Somerset Company aud Luther
Kountze and his counsel, former Judge
Vreeland and G. f. Wilson.
When Chairman Rartron called the
committee to order, Judge Vreeland
said the matter had been amicably ad-
jusbed and an agreement arranged for
between the company and his client,
who now had no objection to final pas
sage.
Peter V. Stryker of the company
asked if outside Of the agreement
everything was satisfactory to the
committee and Chairman Bartron said
it was.
Counsel j. M. Mills said the pole re-
strictions on some of the roads came
from persons in the company. The
question. was asked what roads were
so affected and Committeeman Clark
replied Sussex avenue.
The ordinance was then put on third
reading, the title taken for the ordi-
nance and unanimously adopted.
Judge Vreeland said Mr.. Kountze
desired to address the committee and
the latter said he wanted to set him
self right. He said that things had
been said about him unfairly. He had
been a resident of the township for
thirty-fye years, during which time
he had tried to live peacefully and
gain the respect of his fellow citizens.
He desired to deny any statement
Olluu AlC was luUClCSUCu III oily way
with the Public Service Corporation,
neither was he against the new COM
pany, but was Trying to protect his
property rights on the Mendham and
Jockey Hollow roads. He said he was
not opposed to public Improvements
and wants lights, neither was he
afraid to go anywhere where he had
business.
Frank Landon Humphreys thanked
Mr.. Kountze for his expression, stat
ing that no officer Of the company had
made any remarks that he had heard
disparaging to Mr.. Kountze and for
any one outside, the Norris & Somer-
set cannot be blamed He expressed
the hope that Mr.. Kountze would soon
be stockholder.
E. S. Burke thanked the committee
for their patience in listening to the
arguments and their final action and
the meeting adjourned.
Although neither party will tell the
contents of the agreement, it is under
stood that it simply covers the right
to erect poles on the Jockey Hollow
road, from the Bailey Hollow road
west, the Mendham road from the
Washington Valley road to Mr..
Kountze's far line and the road from
Leddell's Mill running past the Wicke
place, partly in Morris, partly in
Mendham and partly in Passaic town
ships. The Objectionable feature pro-
hibiting the company from supplying
current outside of Morris township is
understood to have been eliminated.
