to the fact that prior to the passage

enactment they have ceased. with no

Competent Hands Required.

The greatest political upheaval OF
an off year has been accomplished in
Ohio, where the tax officials of So
counties, all Democrats, were relieved
of their duties and an equal number
OF Republicans substituted. The ex-
travagance of preceding Democratic
administrations renders necessary a
more thorough and equitable system
of taxation. To insure success the
work Of reform had to be placed in
more competent hands.-omaha Bee.

Here is the latest chapter OF the
unending Borregaard litigations: The
Borregaard Manufacturing company
sued the state, claiming that the H.
cense Of February u. 1897, authorized
the company as the gen aral owner Of
the Borregaard pro oerty. to sell, in
unlimited quantities, %hisky. wine and
beer. The state HIS instituted
counter-suit. claiming that the sa'
license only conveys the right l,
run an inn and a h,Icksters store,
that is. the scope Of the license is lin
tied as to the manner and quantity of
the sales. In short. TIE state claims
that the company owning the Bore
gard property has no right to sell
wine, and only the right to sell whisky
and homemade beer to the people liv-
ing in the immediate neighborhood.
A majority of the people of the local.
ity are in favor OF absolute prohibit
ton. The company bucking against
the people to their constant injury
is an English concern.

Bishop Tandberg has published his

SWEDEN.

The Swedish steamer Hasting,
bound from Warkworth, England, to
Norrkoping, Sweden, with a cargo of
coal, was approached by a German
torpedo chaser, which signaled the
Hastings to stop. This happened
close to the shore, and the Has
ting was grounded. 1t took the Ger
mans only a few minutes to find out
that the Tasting carried no contra
band. and the Swedes were free to
proceed. But they were stuck. Then
came the time for the Germans to
show their politeness. The captain
of the chaser offered - pull the Has
ting off the shallow ground, which
offer the Swedes, of course, accepted
with thanks. But the Hasting proved
to be an exceedingly stubborn thing,
Several torpedo boats assisted in the
work, and many of their cables were
broken. AS last resort two large
German boats used their anchor ca
bles. and the Hasting was put afloat,
after six hours of hard work. The
Germans refused to take any pay be-
cause they had caused the grounding
of the Hasting. Upon taking leave
the Swedes offered the German off,
GERS a glass of grog, but they declined
to drink the stuff because it was really
English whisky. But they thankfully
took glass of honest Swedish punch.
The captain of the Swedish steamer
cannot find words to express his adj
miration of the politeness and affabiI-
ity of the Germans.

CAN SURVEY FOR
35 Fl. CHANNEL
TO SANDY HOOK
Amended Waterway Bill for
Appropriation Of Lump Sum
of S25,0OO,000 to be Ex-
pended by Engineers Passes.

Despite the fact that the rivers and
harbors bill, as favored by the House
of Representatives, failed of passage
in the Senate and the bill was sub
stituted by an amendment for the ap-
preparation of a lump sum of $685.
600, 200 to be expended by the army
engineers, Congressman Thomas j.
Scully's proposed survey for a thirty
five foot channel from Sandy Hook
to upper New York bay, through the
Staten Island sound, Is included in
the senate amendment, and will be
made.
Through Congressman Scully's eff
forts the house bill in committee was
made to include the survey, and the
bill with this provision passed the
house By an amendment the senate
decided to allow the army engineers
to expend lump sum for rivers and
harbors, without defining just how
improvements. However, the amend
ment specifically included the sur
vey, for which Congressman Scully
has persistently labored.
Congressman Scully has expressed
himself as entirely satisfied with the
bill finally passed by the senate.
Prominent among the items is pro-
vision for survey of the Shrews-
bury river, to protect it against in
roads of the sea at Seabright and
along that section of the coast.
The new survey for the protection
Of the coast is expected to embrace
further recommendation for the pro-
lection of the stretch from Galilee to
Sandy Hook. Other surveys to be
made are: West creek, Adams creek.
Forked river, Dividing creek, Pen
sauken creek and the Delaware river
from Trenton to Easton.
For years the pilots, harbor board
and all industries along the Staten
Island sound have been fighting for
q thirty-five foot channel leading UP
from Sandy Hook to Perth Amboy's g
harbor. 1t has, been pointed out that
lat present ships drawing more than
nineteen feet of water cannot get
from lower New York bay to this
port at low tide because of the shall
lowness of the channel from Sandy
Hook to this city.
Only lnitiatory Step.
Inc authorization or q survey Tor
the proposed deepened channel is
only the initiatory step in the culmi-
nation of the project, which finally
proposes the dredging of channel
from lower New York bay through
the sound thirty-five feet deep. The
army engineers will now make a sur
vey and their recommendations will
be referred to congress. If the
board of engineers of the war de-
partment recommends that the pro-
ject be carried out, congress would
likely make the necessary appropria-
tions at it's next session. However, a
bill including such appropriation
would naturally receive strong oppo-
sition.
Following the defeat of the bill
calling for the survey last year, Con-
gressman Scully was undismayed,
and worked the harder to get it
through this session. and is deter
mined to gain thirty or thirty-fve
foot channel for this city and the
sound.
Already twenty-five foot channel
is being dredged from Shooters
Island to this city in the Staten
Island sound and the work has
reached down to the vicinity of Eliza
bethport.

N CARTER SAYS
CANNOT IGNORE
GAS FRANCHISE
Public Service Corporation
President Makes This State
ment at Argument in Re-
hearing for 9Oc Gas Rate.
Special to tie EVENING NEWS.

"
Trenton, March 4:-The argument
In the rehearing of the ninety-cent
gas rate case was continued before
the Court of Errors and Appeals to-
day, Thomas N. McCarter, president
Of the Public Service Corporation,
laying before the court his reasons
why the decision of the errors court,
setting aside the ninety-cent rate
should be finally upheld. Mr.. Nc
Carter insisted that franchises of cor
porations are property of substantial
value which cannot be ignored in
rate-making, as he claimed was done
In fixing the ninety-cent rate for the
Passaic district.
Franchises are Property.
He showed that the Consolidated
Gas Company of New York City was
allowed valuation of $7,7S1,OO0 on
its franchises by the United States
Supreme Court. That court, Mr.. Nc
Carter said, declared that franchises
are property. "Why should franchises
be given value of s7,7S1. 900 on
one side OF the Hudson river and
nothing on the other side?" asked
Mr.. McCarter.
His argument was mostly directed
to the point that the Public Service
Gas Company was entitled to be al
lowed substantial valuation for it's
franchises and because the Public
Utility Commission failed to make
such an allowance the ninety-cent
rate should not stand. 1t was error,
Mr.. McCarter argued, for the Utility
Commission and the Supreme Court
to ignore the franchise value.

Government-Mass Meeting

More than 800 names, or nearly
half of those necessary to call a spe-

ions commission government COM
mittee this morning.
The committee is working to inter
est representative number of citi-
zens. probably one hundred to aid
the committee in working out the de-
tails of the campaign for the new
form of government. From present
indications it seems that public
speakers will be secured for a mass
meeting in the interests of commits
sion government by the latter part of
next week. The meeting is to be held
at one of the local theatres.
Workers Are Independent.
One member of the committee this
morning made it plain that the eff
forts of the Central Labor Union
committee were independent of auy
move by any political party or by any
fomGr politicians, He declared that
as soon as a committee of citizens Is
formed to foster the Inauguration of
the new form of government such
committee will have charge of the f.
nancing and promoting iii other WAYS
the campaign for commission govern
ment. He thought that the petit
tions for the special election would
be filed by the committee indepen-
dent of any other petitions being cir
culated by any former politician.
He declared the committee of the
union has no candidates, and intends
to work with any good citizens who
desire the change in the form of
government for the good of the city
and not for Interior motives. The
names of some of the most promi-
nent business men of the city appear
on the petitions.

The ordinance providing for the

several cities have sent representa-

deciding 1t were better for such cleo

department rather than under the
Board of Underwriters.
