PrOperty-Owners Object
to Paying Curb Assessment

MADISON, Aug. IA special meet
ing of the street committee of the
Common Council was held in the
council chamber last evening for the
purpose of considering the objections
made by twenty three property own
ers to the curb assessments on Main
street.
The committee made an inspection
of the properties covered by the OBJ
jections and the only one they feel
that they can consider is owned by
Della Ferriss, who was assessed, but
who claims no frontage on Main
street. Her deed described the prop
erty as facing Lloyd street. Most of
the other objections are made on the
grounds that Madison residents ought
not to have to pay inasmuch as the
curbing in Chatham was put down
by the Morris County Traction Com
pany.
It was stated in reference to the
complaint of Mr.. McGrath that he
should have told the council of his
objections at the time the curbs were

Toward Chief Carranza

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-George
C. Carothers, special representative of
the State department. who has been
accompanying General Villa, arrived
today from FL Paso and had long
conference with Secretary Bryan. He
explained in person his impressions OF
the fighting general and what he be-
lieved would be the latter's attitude
towards Carranza.
Neither Mr.. Bryan nor Mr. Caro-
theirs, on account of the delicacy of
the subject, would discuss the mat
ter. but for several days reports of
Villas dissemination to submit to
Carranza have been reaching officials
here.
Another aspect of the situation
which was not regarded as favorable
was the reported attitude of General
Carranza on the subject of amnesty.
Some doubts are expressed in official
reports as to whether Carranza would
give a pledge for amnesty in any
form or way. being opposed to the
idea that Carbajals surrender should
be conditioned on anything.
