COURT RETURNS
BRANFORD PLACE
ASSESSMENTS
Judge Adams Orders Commits
sioners' Report to Be
Sent Back.

Judge Adams today made an order
sending back to the commissioners
of assessment the report of assess
ments made for benefits in the ex-
tension of Branford place. In max
ing the order Judge Adams sus-
tained former Governor John Frank
lin Fort and Adrian Riker, counsel
for a number of objecting property
owners.
It was contended that the commits
sioners had made errors in their
awards and assessments, and that II
would not be sustained if taken to
the upper courts. On the other hand,
former City Attorney Frank e. Brad
ner. representing a number of prop
erty owners, declared that his Glen.
were entirely satisfied with the a.
sessments, and believed that the conf
missioners had not erred in certain of
the assessments. He urged that II
the report was not confirmed wholly,
1t should be sent back for partial
revision.
Judge Adams, in his order, has sent
the whole report back for revision.
and the entire matter will have to he
gone over again. Since the making
of the report, Mayor Raymond has
supplanted the commission that made
take the evidence.
In sending che report back to the
assessment commissioner for9revision,
Judge Adams did so on a technical
ity. He said that the matter of adj
vertising, and the statement of the
city law department that some of the
assessments were too low and others
too high, were not taken into consld-
Grafton. the court said. The point on
which the return was made, he de-
clared, was the use of the word "ac-
tual."
The word occurred in the last part
of the report, wherein the commits
sioners certified that they had Inn
tied all assessments upon owners of
said land and real estate peculiarly
benefited, to the amount of the actual
benefit conferred on said lands and
real estate" The word actual either
meant nothing, said Judge Adams. or
was possible of being construed as
meaning general and peculiar" bene-
tits. Benefits accruing to the general
public were general benefits, while
benefits accruing to individuals pecu-
liarly situated In relation to the in-
provement were peculiar benefits, thH
court said The words actual bene-
Ats" in the doubtful cause nigh
mean both the general and peculiar
benefits.
Judge Adams said that, in his opin-
ion, the word was superfiuous and
meant nothing, but rather than leave
L to the Court of Errors and Ap-
peals to pass upon it, he sent the
whole report back. The court re
ferred to the proceedings as "exten-
siVe and expensive"

ESSEX MEMBER
LOOMS UP AS A
GODFREY FRIEND
AssembIynan Thomas Smith
Special Champion of Speak
er's Canal Bills.

Assemblyman Thomas ]. Smith. In
accordance with an apparent plan of
action. was picked out as the special
champion of the Godfrey Morris
canal abandonment bills and de-
Encouragement OF Speaker Godfrey
in connection with these measures at
the regular monthly meeting Of the
Essex County Republican Commit
tee last night.
The county committee is an auxil
larry of the State Republican Com
nnittee. which, in a recent pubic
statement. adopted the Godfrey bills
as Republican party pleasures and
boldly announced that they would be
jammed through the Legislature by
Republican votes. The lnference
drawn from the proceedings at last
| nights meeting OF the county com
| mittee Is that the state committee
had sent its or1ers along the line and
that the Essex county branch Of the
service was prepared to obey orders.
Assembiyman smith spoke as if his
remarks represented the sentiment of
his colleagues.
Business of more or less import
ance had been transacted when
Chairman Herbert W Taylor arose
and. directing his glance toward As
semblyman Smith, who had been pa
tiently sitting in an attitude Of ex-
pectancy for the cue. asked him to
kindly make a few remarks.
Assemblyman Smith promptly pro-
ceeded to ohlige, Godfrey and his
canal abandonment bills being the
theme. He started out by saying
that Speaker Godfrey is the victim of
! insinuations thrown against his
stand on the canal bill for the pur-
/ pose of defeating that measure. He
asserted that he was sure the speaker
l was working for the best interests of
the people, and TO effect an abandon
ment of the canal in as fair a man
ner as possible with everyone's rights
/ recognized.
| Mr.. Smith then went on to point
out that practically every one is
ready TO admit that the canal has
| outlived it's usefulness and should be
abandoned. He charged the Demo
Gratis with competition instead of CO.
operation, and said they had intro
| duced bills for the abandonment OF
the canal in a different manner. At
this juncture he explained that he
was not attacking Governor Fielder
or the Democratic party, and did not
mean to have his remarks construed
| as an attack.
He then went ON TO tell about q
conference in Trenton last Wednes-
day when Godfrey was made the tar
get of scores of questions on the
canal. and added the speaker ac-
| quilted himself so well that practi-
cally all the questioners went awav
satisfied with the Godfrey bills. The
assemblyman failed to say how he
had reached the conclusion of this
general satisfaction with Godfrey and
his explanations.
He pointed out that the Newark
and Bloomfield boards of trade have
approved the Godfrey bills. as have
also the city legislative conference.
He defended Godfrey against the
7 charges made that he Is representing

have been caused by an elastic stock
ing. This stocking was worn by the
veteran for the purpose of supporting
his left ankle, which had been
spra'ned.
Mr.. Benedict was one Of the best
known old residents of the city and
county. He was at one time a mem
Der of the Newark police force, serv-
ing as a patro man, and later being
promoted to the position of lieu
tenant. Then he started in the county
office, and served as under -sher.n
during the terms of eleven different
sheriffs. He retired as under-sheriff
two months ago.
Mr.. Benedict was a veteran of the
Civil War, taking part in important
battles and receiving three bullet
wounds. He was born in Danbury,
Conn. eighty-tnree years ago. He
was educated in the public schools Of
that city and married there. When
he was about twenty years old Mr..
and Mrs. Benedict came to Newark.
He enlisted with Company K, of the
Second New Jersey Volunteer In
fantry, May 80, 1861. While leading a
charge up a hill near Gettysburg he
was shot in the face. At that time.
as in recent years, Mr.. Benedict wore
a flowing beard. The hair on one eide
of his face was almost completely torn
away by the shot. In other engage
ments he was shot in the left arm
and in the chest. On June 81 1864, he
received his honorable discharge.
After the war Mr.. Benedict started
The Cyrus Benedict Express Com
pany, and conducted this business for
few years. He then became a
policeman, and was promoted to the
rank of police lieutenant.
In 1882 he resigned from the police
department to enter the sheriff 8
Office. where he served continuously
until last month, when he was retired
en- q pens on.
About eighteen months ago Mr.
Benedict sprained his ankle. After
he swelling had been reduced some
one advised him to wear an elastic
stocking. The infection which came
from some foreign substance in the
rubber stocking caused gangrene,
which affected almost the ent re foot.
About year and a half ago Mrs.
Benedict died. He is survived by one
laughter, Mrs. Minnie B. Cole, and
three grandchildren, Mrs. Ward c..
Rogers. of Brewsters, N. Y; Frank
lin B. Cole. New York city, and Gran
