FOR THE SAKE OF THE MAPLE
TREES.

Where the different trees of
Honesdale were too low, owners have
been notified to trim the under
branches. In many instances this
has been complied with, but the
proper care has not been given the
trees after the limbs have been cut
Off. The trees should be treated to
PURE white lead and oil, and if any
color is desired little lamp black
may be added. Paint containing
turpentine should never be used as
1T Injuries the trees. A little care in
pruning should be exercised. In
stead of allowing a stump or hub to
r1sn2in on the surface of the tree,
the limbs should be cut close to the
tree, according to Mr.. Rifkin, tree
surgeon.

TRIENNIAL ASSESSMENT
FOR BOROUGH COMPLETED
VALUE OF REAL ESTATE IN BOR.
OUCH LOWER BY $4,000 THAN
IN 1912.
Decrease in County About 100000
Less Than Last Year-HawIey
$4,000 More-Assessor Varcoe is
Succeeded by Bert Dane.

The triennial assessment for
Honesdale borough has been COM
pleted by assessor f. J. Varcoe. 1t
is also the assessment for 1913. The
figures show that the valuation of
all real estate in the borough for the
present year has decreased about
S9,215 from what it was in 1912.
Bert Dane, who was elected to sue
ceed Mr.. Varcoe as assessor for the
borough, has taken up the work of
making the registration assessment
Notwithstanding the fact that the
number of taxables in the borough
has increased about forty during the
year and the increase in the value
OF property by improvements and
new buildings has been much great
er than in former years, the triennial
assessment is lower than it has been
in many years. The Gurney Elevat-
or plant was assessed for $4,000
but the assessment of the plant was
made before 1T was equipped, so that
next year the assessment will be
much greater.
The tabular statement made out
by Commissioners Clerk T. Y. Boyd
OF the 1913 assessment has been
completed and will be sent to the
secretary of internal affairs. The
valuation of real estate of the two
principal boroughs of Wayne is here
by given.
The 1913 report gives Honesdale
l,O54 taXables; value of all real
estate, $2,610,265; value of real es-
tate exempt from taxation, $512, 1000;
value of real estate taxable, $2,OS9,-
265; value of horses and mules,
$l3,79O; value of salaries, $95,925;
property taxable for county pur-
poses, 50, ,1S0; county tax as
sessed, $S,796.72.
Hawley has 7S5 taxables and the
value of real estate is S6O7,O4O:
value of real estate exempt from
taxation, $4,000; value of real es-
tate taxable, $567,04O; value of
horses and mules, $4,745; value of
salaries, $55, 5,475; property taxable.
for county purposes, $627,4S1: tax
assessed, $2,5O9.92.
The total number of taxables in
Wayne county for 1913 is 1O,952:
the number of acres of cleared land.
llO,S57; of timber, 312,3O3 acres;
value of all real estate, $11, 1,446,16O:
exempt from taxation, $1,2O4,O3O;
taxable, $10,242,13O; value of
horses and mules, $324,S56; value of
salaries, $47S,775; property taxable
for county purposes, $11, 1,2O7,S9O:
tax assessed, $44,S31.56.
In the value of all personal prop
erty these figures differ from the
1912 assessment materially. The
value of all personal property in
Honesdale for 1912 was $2,619,4SO:
Tor HaWley it was $597,44O, and
for the entire county $11,55i ,7O7,
which was more by $105,547 than
the present assessment. The assess
ment this year for Hawley, however,
IS increased over last year by So
6OO. 1t is also interesting to note
that the number of resident taxabIes
IN the county has increased by 144
during the year.

CIRCUS FAILS
TO GET WRIT \
OF MANDAMUS
Supreme Court Refuses to
Compel Mayor Garrstson to
Sign Shows License.
WHERE TENTS WILL REST
Is STILL UNSETTLED
Counsel to Look Up Authori-
ties and Submit Them to
Jastice Voorhees, Today

Just where Young Buffalo wild
West, Vernon G. Seavers Hippo
drome and Col. Cummins' Far East"
circus will pitch Its tents when it ar
rives here on August 6, Is still un-
decided. Supreme Court Justice Will
lard P. Voorhees, yesterday refused to
issue a writ of mandamus to compel
Mayor Ferd Garretson to sign a IL
cense for the shows, contending he
did not have the authority to do 30.
He volunteered to act on an applica-
ton for a rule to show cause why
such a writ should not be issued.
That would involve too much litiga-
ton and consequently too much time
according to the principals in the
case. The hearing concluded with an
that James s. Wight,
representing the circus concern, and
-Irian Lyon appearing for Mayor
Garretson, would look up authorities
and report back to Justice Voorhees,
today.
Both sides are anxious for a deci-
sion. Mayor Garretson says, If he
does not possess the power to use
discretion In the issuance Of circus
ilSthbSSt hO VALID w hhOW it' L AAO
circus concern desires to prove that
he must issue licenses, whore money
is paid to the collector of revenue
and three citizens make application.
The ordinances covering the subject
states he "may" issue license. The
mayor states, that II he cannot use
his discretion the license in reality
becomes a tax. He concludes that
licenses are issued to secure police
control and that they should be con-
trolled with authority to refuse or
grant them.
The executive Is not desirous of
keeping good circuses from Perth
Amboy, but he concludes that the city
had had almost enough with one big
show and a week of carnival attrac-
tions, so that when the Buffalo shows
and Sautelle's Circus applied for ex-
hibition here on August 8 and Z, he
decided the limit had been reached
and refused to grant license to
either of them. Regardless of this
fact, they are both billed to appear
at Perth Amboy" on the respective
dates. Young Buffalo, etc, shows
intend to locate on the former base
ball grounds In Woodbridge town
ship Just west of Florida Grove road,
if they cannot pitch their tents with
the city limits. Sig. Sautelle's nine
shows are billed to appear at Lewis
and First streets. Thursday August T..
