Riddle is authority for the statement
that the tax rate for the coming year
would be an even $500 He was al
most positive, despite the heavy tolls
required by the schools, that the fig
ure would not mount higher than
this
This viii be thirteen points higher
than the present rate he stated,
"and I feel that it should be ample
The schools Will require about S70-
600 more, and figuring $4,000 per
point, that would leave about five
points for other improvements. l
think it can be done"
Asked If he favored the construc-
ton of am of the suggested new bou-
levards, Mr.. Riddle said: "Of course,
| am in favor of every Improvement
that goes toward helping our city, but
i must say | cannot see how we can
afford any of the roads. Our tax
rate will jump thirteen cents this
year, and if we place an additional
expense of say from 800, 900 to $3.50, ;
900 for roads on top of all the rest,
il will make the rate almost prohibi-
tive. We have issued bonds for i'm
proVements to the extent of 81 100000
during the year, and are spending
S25, 600 each year for the eXtermina-
ton of the pesky mosquito, so 1 can't

men who describe themselves as
William Wood, of S29 Hudson street,
and Charles Milford, of 321 West For
ty-eighth street, Manhattan.
The men were arrested in the store
of Bernard Siegel, at 230 Washing
ton street, when they attempted to
pass off a travellers check for $50
made out in the name of Professor
Otto A. Voget. Other merchants later
appeared before the police and pro-
duced several of the checks. The two
men are said to have admitted that
they had followed Professor Voget
from Chicago to New York and got
checks to the amount of $500 on the
Nebraska State Bank from him. Pro-
fessor Voget is now on his way to
Europe and until he gets there the
way in which the men succeeded in
obtaining the checks will not be
learned. They refuse to give any
further information about them
selves.

CUT ASSESSMENT
FOR CURB WORK

The road committee of the Board
of Freeholders will have to deter
mine whether grade lines for a side
walf in front of property at blS-b2O
Bloomfield avenue. Montelair, by II.
e. Wrensch the owner, were obtained
from County Engineer James owen
in his official capacity or not before
claim made by Mr.. Wreisch against
the county can be adjusted.
Mr.. Wrensch claims that the re-
paving of Bloomfield avenue leaves
his sidewalk six inches below the
curb line and contends that before
having the sidewalk he consulted Mr..
Owen as to the proper grade, Ihe
matter came up at meeting oil the
committee yesterday, but no definite
action was taken.
County Engineer Reimer IN his re-
port on the subject, stated tnat the
ines and grade, said by Mr.. Wrensc''
To have been given by the former
county engineer, were incorrect anu tnI
in no way fitted the grade of the
avenue as laid down in the county
records. The cost of making the
change he said would be upwards OF
$500
Director Evans suggested that there
had been no proof submitted tnat
Mr.. owen had given such informa =
ton. Chairman CardWell favored
ascertaining whether Mr.. owen had
given it in his capacity as county
engineer. for he said, if that were
so the county should be responsible
and make the matter right. After
some discussion the communication
was ordered filed.
A motion was adopted that the
board demand that the Public Ser
vice Railway company attend 10 the
laying of road oil between its tracks
on county highways at once. It was
pointed out that the company had
been derelict in the matter although
I ii had laid oil between its tracks IN
the municipalities. Assistant County
Counsel Miller was appealed 10 as
10 whether the company could not be
compelled to carry out its agreement
and he stated that while the charter
probably did not cover the point, the
railway might be brought to time by
withholding special privileges, a SEN
fiment which was also expressed by
Director Evans and heartily endorsed
by Chairman Cardwel,
A permit was granted the town oil
Nutley to open East Passaie avenue
in order to install a water main, be-
( tween Bloomfield avenue and Center
street, providing the necessary
amount be deposited to guarantee
/ the restoration of the roadway tc
i its former condition.
+ The county engineer was authorized
to prepare plans and specifications
for a drain in Mortified avenue be-
tween Hutton park and Gregory ave
nue., a distance of about 1000 feet
4 The cost, it was estimated, would b'
between Sc, 900 and 1000.

was TO show that the defendant did
not use a weapon that happened to be

Johnny Coulon and Kid Williams
are ready for their loudly press
agented battle in Los Angeles tomor-
row night to decide the bantam
weight championship.
Reports from the training camps
of the two little men indicate each is
in perfect condition. Coulon claims
to have entirely recovered from the
illness that practically kept him out
of the ring for two years, and says he
can go fifty rounds with ease. AS
the distance is only twenty Johnny
should be able to battle royalty.
Williams labels himself as over
joyed at the prospect of getting a
crack at Coulon after two years of
chasing. Naturally he promises us
that he will shift the bantamweight
crown.
Unbiased reports from experts who
have seen both fighters hold out
hopes of furious mill. The claims
of condition are said to be founded
on fact.
Both fighters topped off their train
ing yesterday and rested today. Cou-
lon wound up with some sparring
practice, timing his eye for distance.
His long lay off may have an effect
in that quarter during the early
rounds of the fight.
If Williams is as good as when he
trimmed Campi, Coulon must get him
early, for the Baltimorean showed in
that fight that he could tear in all the
time and get better as the rounds
licked of. 4
