SWEDEN THREA TENED
WITH VOLUTION BY .
BIG LABOR STRUGGLE
CLARK RESIGNS FROM
HEAL TIL DEPT. AS A
RESULT OF EPISODE

The resignation of John J. Clark, as
one of the deputy inspectors, was re-
ceived by the Board of Health last
night and accepted. Mr.. Clark was in
the room before the meeting and, by re-
signing, relieved the situation, in view
of certain charges which were investi-
gated by -the board last week. There
was no discussion last night among the
commissioners in regard to the former
inspector. Towards the latter part of
the meeting Preside.t Sibley handed
Secretary LaRoe an envelope and ask
ed him to read the enclosed latter. 1t
proved to be Mr.. Clark g resignation to
take effect July 81. His health inspec-
tor 8 badge was also in the envelope.
Clerk LaRoe stated that he had sew
|eral applications for the position. but
the board decided not to have them
read. Commissioner Henderson said
that it would not be fair to read them,
as the public did not know that the
position was vacant. The board de-
cided to adjourn until next Tuesday
night at which time new inspector
will be chosen. In the meantime the
commissioners stated anyone who want.
ed to put in an application, could do SO.
AS there is plenty of work for two In
spectors at this time Of year, the ap-
pointing of another inspector to succeed
Mr.. Clark, will not be put off more than
ia week
On recommendation of Commissioner

Kreielsheimer a license to conduct a
slaughter house at 463 New Brunswick
avenue was granted to Abraham Vert
helm. The commissioner said that he
and Deputy Inspector Frost had in
spected the place yesterday and found
it in accordance with the requirements.
Protest Received.
Before the motion was put, G. A.
Sorensen, of 465 New Brunswick ave-
nue., strenuously protested against the
granting of the application. He said
he was a neighbor of Mr.. Wertheim on
both sides and that one slaughter house
in the city was enough. Health In
spector Lund asked Mr.. Sorensen if he
had not made application to keep a
slaughter house. The man addressed
said that all he had asked for, was per-
mission to kill calves in his cellar.
President Sibley said he considered that
worse than a slaughter house. The
board after trying to find out Mr.. Sor-
ensen Is real objections to the matter,
granted the license and told him that if
the place was not properly conducted
the board would revoke it. Mr.. Vert
helm paid his license fee and departed,
after stating that the slaughter house
would not be public one, but just for
his own use.
On motion Of Chairman Henderson of
the committee on Sanitation the board
decided to increase the size of-the COM

CONSUMMATED

Company Sells Interest to
Gross Bros, 80, 900 Tons.
DEPOT IN NEW BRUNSWICK

Papers were drawn up yesterday be-
tween the Perth Amboy Coal & Ice
Company, of this city, and Gross Broth
ers, of Fords, by which the former CON-
pany sold their interest to the latter in
10000 tons of ice which they recently
bought in conjunction with them, thus
making the Fords concern sole owners
of all but 5000 tons, which the Pollen
sky firm retained for their local trade.
Mr.. Polensky, a member of the local
firm, said this morning that the reason
they sold the ice was that they had all
that they could handle in their whole
sale and retail trade in this city.
Gross Brothers have rented large dock
in New Brunswick to which they will
ship a boat load, of 900 tons per day.
They will only sell at wholesale from
the boat and will have no wagons, sell
ing only to the retail dealers of that
city 1t is understood that they are
trying to get docks in other cities and
will supply many places in this section
with ice at wholesale.

That and More Will Be Add
ed by Assessors Of Perth
AmbOy This Year.

NOT YET SUBMITTED
A Meeting of the County Tax
Board Was Held Yester-
day at New Brunswick.

1T is estimated that the assessed
valuation of Perth Amboy this year
will exceed that of last year by over
one-quarter of million dollars"
said Secretary William a. Spencer of
the County Board of Equalization OF
Taxes when seen by a NEWS report
er this morning. "On account of the

continued Mr.. Spencer. "the report
of-the local assessment is not com
pfete, but will be ready for publica-
ton in about a week The increased
valuations in this city will show up
as well as any place in the county and
the assessments on new buildings

00O."
At a meeting of the County Board
of Equalization of Taxes at New
Brunswick yesterday Assessors Cro-
well and Weirup, of this city, sub
mitted their books and made reports,
but Assessor Massopust was not pres
ent.
When asked if he had any idea
what the tax rate would be this year,
Mr.. Spencer said he could not even
make a guess, although he believed
r. would be. high The county tax,
this year. he added, would be way
up and this is likely to pull up the
total rate considerably, although a
high county tax was expected. The
tax rate will be fixed at a meeting of
the county board the latter part Of
this month
