STATE DEPARTMENTS TAKE
UP ASSESSORS FIGHT.
Maguire's Refusal to Obey SUBJ
p0ena investigated.

The refusai of Irvine e. Mcguire,
State Board of Assessors, TO appear
before the State Board of Equaliza-
ton of Taxes at Hoboken last Wednes-
day to testify in the case of the city
against the West Hoboken Ferry Com
pany, received the attention today of
three State departments.
Major Carl Lentz. president of the
Board of Equalization, prepared a
statement of the facts, which he will
submit to the Attorney General in or
der to determine the exact powers of
his board with reference to compelling
witnesses to testify.
There was a conference between AS
sistant Attorney General Gaskill and
Secretary Maguire in Trenton, in which
the latter informed Mr.. GaslSill his
reasons for ignoring the States sub
poena.
Secretary Mcguire insists that the
State Board of Equalization has abso-
lutely no Jurisdiction over railroad and
canal property or the assessments of
the State Board of Assessors. He In
sisted that his refusal to answer the
summons was based upon the sole rea-
son that Major Lentz's board was
without legal authority to compel his
attendance.
