We know that spring Is with us a

We can see the springy symptoms,
Floating round US everywhere.
We can hear it in the music,
Of the biryllets in the trees.
And We have the combination
In the softness of the breeze
And the pleasure that it brings us,
Is completely out of sight.
Every day some reveltion, =
Comes to fill with delight
But the very rarest pleasure

Is the blooming of the maidens,
IN FULL'S SHIRT WAISTS.
Now meet them in the parlors
And we see them on the street.
And they sort of draw attention. (
From the study of the feet.
And they look cool and easy

That he wasn't born girl

Or maiden may be plain,
Her name may be Maude or Bervl,
Or just homely Mary Jane,
She IS bound to look attractive

In the picturesque fulness

THE CONVENT CASE DECIDED.
Taxes Must be Paid on Much Of the
Exempted Property.

Exempted Property.
The Supreme Court, Justices Pitney
and Hendrickson sitting, has handed
down a decision on the appeal taken
by the Sisters OF Charity Of st. Eliza
beth from the taxes assessed agalnst
their property at Convent for 1904.
The decision, which was directed oy
a verdict Of the Court Of Errors ana
Appeals, isl partial victory for Dotn
sides, but in the main is against tne
claims OF exemption made by the Con
vent.
It's effect in brief is to segregate from
the exempt property SO mucn Oh une
real estate as the court holds is not
needed for the fair enjoyment OF the
buildings devoted exclusively to char
liable purposes and to suolecb bne
parts SO segregated to taxation.
The controversy has been hanging
fre for several years. The sisters OF
charity began proceedings againstWil-
liam e. Thompson, sometime collector
Of taxes Of Morris Township, and Fred
f. Cory, collector OF the borough OF
Florham Park. The Supreme Court
decided in favor of the convent and
set aside the taxes.
The Court Of Errors remitted the
case Of the Supreme Court again to
determine specifically, upon rules laid
down by the Court of Errors, the pur-
pose for which the various buildings
were used, and when found to be de-
voted exclusively for charitable pur-
poses. to determine how much OF the
tract of land on which it Is erected is
necessary for it's fair enjoyment.
The lots segregated as liable for tax
alton are as follows; the tract be-
tween Madison avenue and the rail-
road along the road leading to the rail-
road station. The farm along the
Punch Bowl Hollow road continuing
the Harper lot rear line tothe railroad
on one side to Park avenue on the
other side. All between this line ano
the Punch Bowl road will be taxed
All the tract lying below Park avenue
and adjoining lands of II. Mckay
Twombly. The main tract is exemp'
ted.

TROLLEY NOTES.

The trolley road according 20 Jhe
wording Of the franchise under which
it was built should have been complete
to day. The company had a year to
begin the work but If it was delayed by
court proceedings or other necessary
consents they should not count. The
freeholders granted a franchise in De
cember, 1906 The company started
work on July 28th and had six months
in which to complete the work. The
sewer work delayed the work on the
single track laid on two or three ocr
casions and when caught up to near
Spring street the company shut down
trolley building entirely
Everybody recognizes that money
was hard to secure during the recent
financial stringency and is yet, so it is
probable that an extension of time
may be granted for the completion Of
the work. On the other hand every
day the tracks laid and poles erected
are there and the rails lay at the sta
tion for the other track means just SC
much interest to pay without any re-
turn from operation and the people
are anxious to see the cars running.
