Appeals from Attachments.

The State Board of Taxation met In
Trenton. on Tuesday, and heard some
appeals from assessment ON property in
this county.
The first case considered was that Of the
Delaware and Atlantic Telephone and
Telegraph Company. The assessor of
Bordeutown township fixed the value of
the property of the Company at $1,000.
Objection was made to this on two
grounds. One was that the value was too
high and the other was that the property
had been sold to the Farmers Telephone
Company. 1t was requested that the
value be reduced to 1886. so. There seemed
to be question when the transfer to the
Formers Company took place, but the
evidence seemed to point to the fact that
the latter company did not get possession
until after the date for making the assess
ment The State Board reduced the assess
ment to $4,000.
Anderson & Dennis were assessed for
Ice stored In their ice house at Smithville.
They appealed on the ground that the Ice
was not assesssble. claiming that they
leased the pond which was assessed as
real estate, hence the product should be
exempt. The Board decided that ice is
personal property and subject to taxation.
Another case that was to have been
heard was that of Mrs. Sally s. Keen
against the township of Woodland Mrs.
Keen owns considerable pine land In that
township and she wanted the assessment
reduced as there had been fire on the
property which had destroyed several
acres Of timber. Her representative was
detained owing to the lateness of train
and this case was laid over until the sixth
of June.
The State Board rendered decision In
the case recently heard concerning the
assessment Of the ApplebY lots In Bass
River township. The assessor of Bass
River township has been instructed to
make diligent inquiry respecting the
owners OF lands In the plots in that town
ship and to assess the land to the owners.
In order to do this the officials must study
the records in the County Clerks Office
and discover by the deeds who the owners
are and are to get the addresses where
possible. The idea Is to let every lot
owner be responsible for his tax, and to
prevent Appleby from being assessed for
the property and then. later. getting pos
session at sale for unpaid taxes. While
it will be impossible to definitely locate
the various lots, it will be no trouble to
assess lots described In the deeds.

Riverton.

The shrimp, a 42-foot hunting launch,
owned by G. Cecil Filter, OF Riverton,
was burned to the waters edge Sunday
morning and is a wreck The boat was
valued at about $4,000, and contained
several hundred dollars worth of equip
ment in the way of clothing, rods, guns,
etc., which were also destroyed. The
origin of the fire Is unknown, but 1t is
thought that another attempt was made
to use the boat for joy ride, A little
over year ago two young men took the
boat, and the owner after some difficulty
located it In Cooper creek, Camden. The
engine had peculiar trick of back-firing
If the mixture of gas and air was not just
right 10 starting, and Mr.. Filter has had
the boat afire several times, but anticipa-
ting the trouble, had no difficulty in
extinguishing the flames before they
gained Roadway. 1t is thought that when
the intruders found the boat was a1re
they became panic-stricken and ran her
on the fats near Mr.. Filters residence
where she was found.

Rase Rail.

Manager Worrell had his candidates for
position on the Mount Holly team on the
grounds Saturday afternoon and gave
them chance to show what their peculiar
fitness was for permanent employment.
The Continental team, of Mount Holly,
was put against the regulars Silcox. the
pitcher who did such good work for the
Mount Holly team, last season, was In the
box and was given instructions to let the
Others hit the ball that the fielders might
show their fitness. But, the slow, easy
balls sent in by Silcox seemed to be more
deceptive than his swift delivery, and
there was not much for the outfeld to do.
Mount Holly had three catchers In the
game, but they did not seem to size up to
the situation. Had Silcox used his speed
1t Is hardly likely the catchers could have
held the ball. The first baseman was ner-
vous and Saturday was his first appear
ance on the field this season. He may do
better after little practice but the impress
sion gained from his first game was that
he is not fast enough. The second base
man, a wiry chap from the Central High
School. Philadelphia, showed well and Is
destined to be a conner" Whitley"
Schoenut was at shortstop but he is out of
place there. He ought to be on second.
His qualities as captain and his ability
10 put ginger in the game were of great
benefit. Our old friend, Tommy Dunn,
was on third base. Tommy appeared to
be as good as ever.
The home team made some good hits
and their batting ability was apparently
good. They had a good test of this for
Cain, of the Continenials, did SPLEEN
did work. All of the hits gained by his
opponents were earned. He struck Silcox
and Schoenut out twice, and retired Others
The score was nine to four In favor of the
Mount Holly team, but rank errors by the
Continental team were responsible for
this result.
The visitors were loud In their praise of
Gains pitching.
The county championship season will
open on Saturday June 8. Medford will
play here.
The Continental club appeared in new
uniforms, white suits and maroon caps
and stockings.
The Hainesport club defeated the Assem-
sion A. c., of Philadelphia, on Saturday,
by the score of 5 to 0.
Hullings, the Continental catcher, is all
right. 1t is the belief of many that he
would be perfectly capable of backing up
Silcox.
The first game the Mount Holly team
will play, will be on Tuesday next, when
the visitors will be the Hainesport team.
This club is fast and will give the home
team some work. The game will begin at
three o'clock.
