An effort will be made by state SEN
nc Ogden l.. Mills and his fellow
members of the joint legislative com-
qnittee when they resume their tax
hearings next Wednesday to ascertain
from Lawson Purdy, president OF the
Board Of Taxes and Assessments, exactly
how the local taxing authorities arrived
at the tentative personal property valua-
tiois, the size and number Of which
have made many folk gasp.
At yesterdays hearing Mortimer i.

the state laws whereby he would do
away with the tax on personal property
and supplant 1t with ~ moderate income

The granting Of permission to the
Third Avenue Railway Company by the
Public Service Commission TO issue
S2,02O.4s7 OF 4 per cent. bonds under
the first refunding mortgage OF the CONF
pany was received with n good deal Of
satisfaction IN Wall Street yesterday
II vas regarded as opening the way for
the beginning of dividends on the stock.
II has been felt that the beginning OF
dividend payments on Third Avenue was
contingent on whether the Public Ser
vice Commission would grant permits
sion to the road to issue these bonds.
The Public Service Commission sus-
pended judgment for more than two
years on the granting of permission for
this issue Of bonds. The original appli-
cation was for an issue of s6.65h,ooO
bonds. Permission to issue $4,000. 900
was granted n year
The money from the sale of these
bonds will go to reimburse the treasury
OF the company for advances made to
carry on Improvement work charged to
capital account.
Wall Street recalled yesterday, after
the "nouncem that the commission
had granted the authority for the bond
issue. that T.. W. Whitr,dge. president OF
the Third Avenue. intimated recently that
the affairs of the property were getting
in such a satisfactory condition that the
stockholders might cXpect som" return

Rumors We're current in the financial
district that certain interests on the
board OF directors were soliciting proxies
for the annual meeting Of stockholders
with the possible view OF making some
changes in the board. II was impossible
TO confirm these reports In official
circles.
The bonds authorized will be dated
January !. 1910. and will mature on
