given to the city against the county,
representing the amount RENTED
from the 1912 assessments, the city
rate will be no higher than last year,
even with the increase. This amount
includes the assessment against the
Prudential dividend fund
The unexpected low rate estimated
for this year is due to the work of
the Assessment Board in being able
to increase the ratables to such an
enormous degree.
With the exception of the second,
every taxing district in the city
shows an increase in ratables ranging
from $500, 900 to $4,600,000. The Sec
ond district shows a pet decrease of
ST. S07, 900 over last year This, how
ever, is also virtually an increase.
This is the district in which the $32,-

credited, so when this amount is

BURLINGTON VOTES FOR
SMALL FREEHOL DER BOARD

BURLINGTON, N. j., Aug. ID
Burlington county's large board of
freeholders apparently failed to carry
the special election held throughout
the country yesterday in an effort
to recall the small board" system
adopted seven months ago. In vote
of less than 30 per cent. of the reg
istered enrolment, the small board,
appears to have a majority In the
county of less than 100 votes
A few small communities yet to re-
port may be able to change the final
result, but the majority either way
will be small The special election
has been a bit of political play which
will cost at the rate of more than
81 for each ballot cast.

200 more dogs will be taxed this year
than heretofore, bringing up the to-
tai to 1900.
As compared with last year the
personal assessments this year show
a decrease of $26 1864 900. 1t was from
this account, however. that the Pru-
Dental illegal tax of $32.00O,000 was
deducted so that an increase of about
S6.000,000 is shown.
For the first time since the land
and improvements assessments were
separated, the assessments for the
former is higher than that for i'm
provements Last year the value OF
improvements exceeded the value
placed on land by about $15,OO0,O 0O,
while this year the land assessments
will total about 100000 more than
those levied for improvements.
The land increases this year will
amount to approximately $27,6SS,O0O

provements column shows an in
crease of $S,122. 500. Meadows lands
are this year valued at 1907, 900 more

WOMAN
CLAIMS ESTATE.
Insane Woman RightfuI Heir
of Cody, Stepmother
Declares.
Especial to the Newark start

CAMDEN, N. j.. Aug. 1s-A1Es,
Joseph Lee. of 923 Howe street, re-
turned from Norristown, Pa, yester-
day, where she had gone to examine
the original marriage papers Of her
stepdaughter, Maude, and Samuel
f. Cody, and said there was not the
slightest doubt that the step-daugh-
ter was the widow and rightful heir
of the Anglo-American aviator who
was killed few days ago while
making aerial experiments for the
British Army.
Going back to the days of 1893,
when Forepaugh's circus visited
Norristown, Mrs. Lee told of the
trials and troubles that had fol-
lowed Maude and Cody from the
time they met in the sawdust ring
until Maude returned from England
eight years ago in such mental con-
dition that she has since been con-
fined in the Norristown Hospital for
the insane.
While the body of Aviator Cody
was being buried with all the honors
of a military funeral at Aldershot.
England, steps were being taken to
prove that the woman to whom King
George sent his condolences was
not, and had never been. the wife
of the ex-cowpuncher and circus
man. who died wearing the uniform
of a British soldier.
while Maude was the daughter
of my sister Phebe," Mrs. Lee said
yesterday, 81 remember very we'll
the night she met Cody at the cir
Gus. Maude was seventeen years
old then and she was Cody's part
ner, as well as wife, in many a cir
Gus, and in all parts of this and
other countries, until she finally left
him in England after she was in
jured, and returned 10 her fathers
home.
Five months ago | wrote Cody
and told him Mr.. Lee was getting
old and that if he would send US a
little money, even if it were only =
few hundred dollars, it would help
us out much He did not answer
the letter, although he had promised
he would come home last Christmas,
and then give us the medals and
trophies Maude had won for her rifle
shoting."
While Mrs. Cody is confined in the
Hospital for the Insane, she is not
violent, but is allowed to help about
the dining-room at the hospital.
Letters belonging to her are adj
dressed to either Mrs. Cody or Miss
Lillian Cody, Lillian being the name
by which she was known to circus
people.

a letter asking whether she had been
dismissed or given an assignment
for the coming school year. She was
then notified by Sumter l.. Beegle.
chairman of the teachers committee,
that she had not received any as
signment.

X. Sumner, whose administrator, Rob-
ert A. Clayton, seeks to recover $500
for salary alleged to be due the dead
woman's estate, and which has been
the cause of an extended controversy
dating back to 1910, was again re-
ferred to the State Board of Educa-
ton. sending a formal request for
data on the controversy. City Coun-
sci Arthur B. Seymour has prepared
the desired information and was di-
rected last night to forward IL to
Trenton. The State commissioner of
education. Calvin r. Kendall, has
given q ruling in favor of the dead
teachers estate, and the Orange
board has taken the contest to the
State board.
