He is wanted on a charge of attack

Following. the man caught her up

LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE
ASKED TO HELP DEFEAT BILL
Commissioner John Howe Ex-
plains Moore Measure.

Tax Commissioner John Howe ap-
peared before the legislative committee
of the Common Council at it's meeting
last night to ask that it use its intiu-
ence to defeat the Moore bill, which has
passed the House and Is now before
the Senate, exempting from taxation
all personal property under 500 IN
value. 1t would mean. il passed, the
commissioner said, q loss of $i3,1S9 an
nually in the tax receipts Of the city.
Mr.. Howe said that there were 14,22l
persons in the city paying taxes ON
personal property of 500, and l2,2o6 on
~nroperty valued at 5000. He went on
to say that all but SAL 900 900 of the
1898, $50, 049 of personal property found
by the assessors last year was sworn
off. should the measure be passed,
he continued, 1t would mean a higher
tax rate and a consequent
on the poor man.
The committee was urged to recon
slider its action in regard to the police
pension bill by Patrolman Henry w.
Weller, formerly president of the Pa
tro,noen's Benevolent Association. The
bin urovides that the city shall put
into the tax levy 4 per cent. of the
amount paid out in. salaries to the po-
lice department to go into the police
pension fund. 1t would mean that
$50. 600 would have to be raised an
nually by Newark, making an added
point in the tax rate
Weller said that there had been SAL 600
in the fund, but the work of taking care
of twenty-three pensioners had reduced
the amount TO $4,000. He said that
there we're twelve other cities in the
State which had adopted this plan,
which gave the older men a chance TO
retire and give place to the younger
men.
AS City Counsel Nugent and City
Clerk Connolly could not be present the
weekly conference with the heads Of
the city departments could not be held.
The bill will accordingly be considered
at the legislative conference TO be held
Monday afternoon.
A delegation from Local No. IS, In
ternational Union OF Steam Engineers,
appeared before the committee to urge
the passage of the bill now before
the Legislature permitting the city TO IL
cense stationary steam engineers. Some
objection was raised to the bill because
III might affect some engineers who
were doing satisfactory work but might
not. be- able to pas the examination.
City treasurer Albert T. Guenther said
that he believed an exemption clause,
including men who had been In the
business a certain number Of years,
should be added to the bill.
