AFFILIATED TRADE
BOARDS MAKE APPEAL
Special 10 the EVENING NEWS.

Special TO the EVENING NEWS.
New Brunswick, Dec. 3-Members
of the Affiliated Boards of Trade of
Middlesex County appeared before
the County Board of~Taxation here
| yesterday in an effort to have a bet
ter standard of valuation put in use.
They will meet with the tax board
members again on December 20, at
which time there will probably be an
exhaustive discussion on the subject.
An appeal is likely to be made
upon assessment levied upon the
Canda property in Roosevelt. j. G.
Hague, of Elizabeth, representing
the Samuel L. Moore Sons Corpora
ton, of Roosevelt, appeared before
the tax board and complained about
the valuation. He said it has jump
ed from $135,000 to $294,00e. Mr..
Hague said windows were broken
and practically the bare walls were
left, so the value had decreased in
stead of increased.
The owners of small homes bear
an unequal share" of ~ taxation
throughout the county, according to
M. Abrams, who so complained to
the board yesterday afternoon. He
said he owned forty-eight properties
in Middlesex, Mercer and Somerset
counties and he found it generally
the case that the small property
owners were assessed unjustly. He
said he had appealed to Governor
Wilson and he had referred him to
the county board. He complained
particularly of the valuation of
Sits on a house in Burnett street

Constantinople, Dec. 3.-The
Greek plenipotentiary commissioned
to act in the Balkan-Turkish peace
negotiations today was still without
instructions from Athens and the
proposed protocol for a fourteen days
armistice was unsigned. AS on the
other two days that have elapsed
since the initial day set for signing
the agreement, it was given out that
the truce would be signed to-day CIR
tomorrow"
In official circles it was conceded
that the delay was ominous, as it
was taken to indicate that Greece
was preparing to refuse the PROPOSE
ton that Turkey be allowed to re-
provision her besieged towns daily
during the cessation of war. Greek
officials in various European capitals,
it was known, had fatty said that
such an agreement would be to give
up what ever advantage the allies
had won and it was thought that the
Greek government was seeking the
most effective methods, in which to
refuse the propose protocol.

AT THE HIPPODROME.

The holiday spirit arrived at the

Thanksgiving crowds which came to
make merry at the great new spec

No production at u great amuse-

so many varied, instructive and en-
in "Under Many Flags" The trip
through European and Asiatic coun-
tries which one views, carries with 1t
impressions that cannot be obtained
unless one visits the countries them
selves. Few of us are granted the
joyable scenes than those presented
rare privileges of tours of the world
but we can all take a trip through
the earth at the Hippodrome.
The trip starts at our own capital
and right on the White House
grounds. Thence do we journey to
Annapolis and view a spirited drill
of academy boys. An airship is the
means of travel to Europe and the
first landing is a quaint fishing vii
lage on the coast of Brittany. Then
our airship resumes sailing to Berlin
where n views all the delights of
a German Summer Garden. In this
scene many funny stunts r done by
the score of Hippodrome clowns,
who are ever a source Of great sport
to the throngs of children who love
to come to the Hippodrome. Hol-
land with its windmills, dykes and
great flower markets, the great
