CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE, PHILADELPHIA
1.-THE Battle" forcefu1 drama of con-
temporary life, which created profound
impression when seen in Philadelphia
short time ago, with Wilton Lackaye in
the principal role, will be given its Phila-
de1phia presentation at popular prices by
the Orpbeum Players at the Chestnut
StreetTheatre this week 1.-THE Battle"
occupied the stage of the Savoy Theatre,
New York, all of last season, and for a
long period was the talk Of the country,
because of the unusual interest displayed
in the the story of this vital drama by the
written by Cleveland Moffett, who is a
noted contributor to the leading magazine
and student of the all-absorbing topic of
labor and capital. In 1.-THE Battle" he
has assumed a novel attitude on this
great question, one which will undoubted-
ly create much discussion. The story of
''The Battle" concerns the masses and the
classes, with both sides fully represented.
Usually the classes are contented to get
| the money and let the masses do the
preaching, but Mr.. Moffet has presented a
! new angle with his millionaire trust mag
nate, John J. Haggleton, who will be por-
trayed by Robert Cummings.
April rs will witness another famous
production by the Orpheum Players al
the Chestnut Street Theatre, Philade1
phia. This time it will be ''The White
Sister," secured by special arrangement:
with Liebler & Co., for first presentation
in Philadelphia at popular prices.

Ocean County.

The Mutual Benefit and Loan Associa-
tion of Tuckerton is one of the oldest In
the county being now SO years old. 1t
has 2344 shares in twelve series. Fifty
cents a month is paid per share, and the
maturing share is worth 800. 1t has
$79 300 loaned on mortgage; $500 loaned
on stock; and owns $5110 worth of railroad
bonds and $500 worth of real estate. Its
receipts from all sources last year were
$50, 448 "a; and its total assets $89, 05461.
At the urgent opportunities of Phila-
delphians who are summer residents at
Seaside Park, the Philadelphia contracting
firm of Thomas Meehan & Sons has agreed
to drop its case against the Ocean county
freeholders who rejected the Meehans'
bid for building the beach road and accept
ing the bid of Charles Mathis, of Tucker
ton, at a raise of $4,000 over the Meehan
bid. To haye attacked the contract In
court, as the Meehan firm intended to do,
would presumably have resulted in the
contract being set aside, and the beach
road would not haYe been built this year.
1t was for this reason that a number of
property owners at Seaside Park per-
suaded the Philadelphia contractors to
abandon their proposed suit, as Seaside
Park is extremely anxious to get the road
done. The county's law officers admit
that the Meehans' could probably have set
aside the Mathis contract had the suit
been forced to an issue.
New Egypt people are wondering why
the county road through that village is
not completed. 1t was given out last fall
that the contractor, James II Butcher, of
Ardena, was through with his work, but
Freebooter Camp was not satisfied, and at
that time it was figured that more work
had to be done. 1t is understood that
State Road Superintendent Meeker and
County Engineer l. Fl. Cramer have re-
Gently gone over the road and are alleged
to have notified the contractor how much
more gravel he must put on the road to
complete the contract. 1t Is also said
there is complaint made here about the
quality of gravel used.
What is believed to have been the In
tent of an incendiary to burn the entire
business portion of Toms River village
nearly succeeded early yesterday morning
AS it was, the combined efforts of the fire
company and almost all the ablebodied
men of the place succeeded In hemminG
in the fire, so that only one building, thu
Union House, was destroyed on Mali
street. In Robbins street, however, tn,
fire destroyed blacksmith shop, wheel
wright shop, an ice house, four barns ant
four horses, occasioning a total loss o
perhaps $4,000.

Civ Assessora

By the provisions of Chapter SO of the
laws passed by the last Legislature, cities
of the third class will have three assessors
instead OF one as heretofore This act
will affect Beverly. Bordentown and Bur-
lington in this county. The law provides
that in all cities of the third class there
shall be board of tax assessors, who
shall be elected by the common council or
governing body, their terms of Office to be
three years. One of the members so elect
ed shall hold Office to the end of the cal
endar year In which he shall be chosen;
another shall hold Office until the end of
the calendar year next after that In which
he shall have been elected; and the third
shall hold Office until the expiration of the
second calendar year ensuing that in
which he shall have been elected, and then
the successors shall hold Office for three
years. The salary of the officers shall be
fixed by the governing body, and each
shall give bond for the faithful perfor-
nance of his duties.
The boards of assessors shall have the
same powers as are now imposed upon the
individual assessor, and the Office of the
latter shall be abolished upon the election
and qualification of the board as provided
for in the law mentioned Any assess
ment or report made by majority of the
board shall be deemed the assessment and
report of the board, and such reports must
be made to the county boards as is now
the case.
In addition to the provisions quoted the
law says that there shall be but one col
lector or receiver of taxes In cities Of the
third class, and he, also. shall be chosen
by the common council. His term of
office shall be three years, the receiver
first appointed under this act to hold
Office until the first day of January follow
ing his election and then the full term of
Office for three years will commence.
This act took effect on the Both day of
March, consequently there must be
changes in the cities mentioned before the
May assessments begin.
