SPECULATION OVER "ROUT,

ALBANY. March 2s.-There Is no ques-

Chairman. was utterly routed by the or
ganization" in his long struggle with Gov.
Glynn last night and early this morning
over nominations to State offices which
the Governor sent to the Senate.
They are saying that In every case
where Mr.. Murphy. John II. McCooey Of
Brooklyn. or Patrick +. McCabe OF Al

won the appointment Of it's own man or
OF a compromise candidate far more
acceptable to them than TO Mr.. Osborn.
National Chairman McCombs and others
who have been trying to clean UP the
party in this state.
II was indicated that Gov. Giynn may
call an extra session OF the Legislature
in June to wind up the business which the
recent session left unfinished because OF
the Assemblys abrupt adjournment.
Tammany men are surprised that all
these months of work and agitation netted
Mr.. Osborn 80 little. Independent observ-
ers are wondering what the much adver-
tised coalition among President Wilson.
Mr.. McCombs, Mr.. Osborn and Gov Glynn
to put a new face on the party In this
State amounts to any way.
Say Murphy was shr~wd.
They are saying also that Mr.. Murphy
knew what he was doing when ne 80

State Chairman George W. Palmer and
the election OF Mr.. Osborn as his sue

Mr.. Osborn also scored in the appoint

and OF Howard Mosher OF Rochester as
Compensation Commissioner. There In no
doubt that Mr.. Mosher WAS not wanted

New Postal Administration.

r. L. Newton, the new ap-
pointee to the position of post
master, took possession of his Of
flee technically at II o'clock Sat
urday night, but literally Sunday
morning. Mr.. Miller's last Off
cial act, that of sending in his last
draft being performed Monday
morning. Miss Viola Clieatley,
Mr.. Newton's S assistant also began
her duties Sunday and Monday
proved a very busy day for the
new administration. Louis Mil
Ter, ex-assistant, has been retained
for few days until everything
gets to running smoothly. The
hardest part to learn readily is
distributing the letters, as there
are several hundred names and
boxes to be remembered.
Ar. Miller has retired from the
office with most enviable record
after five years service, lacking
eighteen days, as he assumed
charge February, IS, 1909. Be-
ing a most obliging and conscien-
tious man naturally he has made
a legion Of friends who will wish
him success as he devotes himself
to his farm and his bees. He says
he won't make quite as much
money leading the simple life
but he will have less worry. He
has been busy this week working
in his large bee industry and finds
they have wintered fairly well.
Louis, his son and able assist
ant, has no definite plans for the
future, but he has many years be-
fore him and his winning ways
supplemented by marked ability
are sure to bring him success.
Postmaster Newton is also
noted for good executive ability
and genial and obliging ways,
and with the able assistance of
Miss Cheatley, the patrons of the
Arvada postoffice are assured of
efficient suryOce.

To Have More Lights.

"Some love darkness rather
than light" but not so with the
majority of the town board of
Arvada-that is, with reference
to street lights-at least. And,
in all probability, the council will
order eight more street lights at
it's next regular meeting, which
is next Monday night. AS those
who are familiar with the town
affairs know, our street lights at
the present time are fourteen in
number, beside the five lights on
the water tower. These are
costing the town $29 so per month,
or about that, and the board is to
have a proposition next Monday
night from the electric company,
which will give us eight addition
al lights for the streets, making
% in all, beside the tower, at a
cost Of $3.50 per month.
All are agreed that there are
many dark corners that need
lights, and comparatively the cost
is nominal. The Enterprise rec
commends the installation of
these lights, where they are most
needed.

Miss Robinson Honored

Miss Hazel Robinson is the
proud possessor of silver medal
which she won in the musical con-
test last Thursday evening at
Grace NJ. +. church, Denver. The
other contestants were Miss Helen
van Dyke and Madge Yeager.
The contest was given by The
Temperance Legion and Prof.
Earl johnson, musical instructor,
was invited to select the contest
ants from the school which could
produce the best musical talent.
Naturally it fell to Arvada High
school to furnish that talent and
the three young ladies were the
fortunate ones to be selected for
the honors. Arvada is indeed
proud of the achievement of its
school and congratulations are
being showered upon the contest
ants and particularly are the
friends of Miss Robinson rejoic.

Town Board is =
Summoned to Court

The members of the town board
and the three trustees of the |. ..
O. F. lodge, r. o. Graves, 0. B..
Drake and Chester Lawrence,
were served with summons to ap-
pear in the District court of JET
ferson county to answer to an ac-
ton brought by George S. Scott
and others similarly situated, y
within twenty days after the ser
vice thereof.
The summons further states
that it is an action praying for
an order "Decreeing certain
pretended contract of purchase
and sale heretofore entered or ats
tempted to be entered into be-
tween the said defendant Town
of Arvada and said defendant
Arvada Lodge 145, l. O. o. F.,

PENDANTS r. O. Graves, 0. B.

The summons contains three
typewriter pages setting forth
the cause of action and its pur-
pose to enjoin the town board
and trustees of the lodge.
The fifth paragraph permits
"other tax payers similarly situat,,
ed to intervene therein and to paf-
ticipate in the action upon such
terms as the court may determine.
- Plaintiff Scott appeared before
the Council and meeting night
prior to the completion of the ne
gotiations for the purchase of the
building now occupied as City
Hall, and gave notice of his in
tentions. The notice was disre-
garded and the deal was made
and the board received the sum-
mons with considerable surprise.
just what the outcome will be is
hard to calculate at this time.
The Enterprise has favored the
purchase of the building from the
start and still favors it, providing
it has been done within legal
bounds. Our reason is that our
town needed City Hall and this
building serves the purpose ad-
mirably and will do so for many
years to come. AS to the merits
Of Mr.. SCOTS suit from a legal
point of view, we do not attempt
to express an opinion.

All Taxpayers Are
Not Relieved !"

Some of the taxpayers of Ar
vada and Griffith took exceptions
to our item of last week which
stated that they "heavcd sigh
of relief when they received
their notices. They say they
hcavcd a sigh of disapproval in
stead. 1t is reported that there
seemed to be some considerable
inequality shown as to some prop
crty, apparently in the same class,
as it is taxed much heavier than
others, some lower and some high
er than last year. One case IN
particular in Griffith is said to
have been out of all proportion,
but Assessor Rhca found this TO
be due to clerical error in cX-
tending the figures, The Enter
prise has investigated some of the
complaints and finds that the gen
cral rule seems TO have been an
attempt to cquali2e the assess
mentS this year. Some cases are
found where there has been n re
duction from last year, while in
Others there is n marked increase,
of from ID to % per cent. The
claim is made that in the former
case the assessment was found TO
have been too high and in the
other too low. The probabilities
are that the tax commission will
have n lot to do in STRENGTHENING
out the tanglcs
The Enterprise is not aiming to
shield the Assessor and his dcpu-
ties only insofar as their work is
based on sound principles and we
have no reason TO believe that
they have sought TO do otherwise.
But "A reasonable increase was to
be expected this year, and we be-
lieve it was generally understood.
| There is also some excuse for
discrepancies owing to the fact
that the entire system of taxation
has been changed making the
levy on the full valuation instead
of one-third as heretofore. This
necessitated the pro rata rcduc-
ton of the levy. While some are
complaining Of the full valuation
assessment they are frank to say
they would not sell their property
for the assessed valuation, which
fact naturally carries with it some
significance.
| There also remains some oppor.
tunity for differences Of opinion
as to the value Of the property as
scsscd. These matters are gov
crned largely by the price prop
crty has been selling for in the
| different localities, as shown by
the transfers
| The farm lands are catching it
n little heavier in this respect
than town property. The farm.
ers would not mind this 50 much,
perhaps, if they could ever get an
equal distribution Of the taxes in
the matter Of roads and local inn
provcmcnis-w which seems n hope.

county needs is less law-making
and strictcr adherence TO the laws
made ostcnsibly to help the farm
crs.
