The Rifle Telegram pulled off a
good stunt, = week ago, when 1t call
ed attention to the operations of one
Moore, who had established a toll
road on claim he had no right or
title to, near the head of White river,
and was holding up visitors to the
lake by charging outrageous fees for
passage over his alleged claim. In
his operations Moore held up a
bunch of Rifle people; hence, the
Telegrsm's expose. About the time
Moore held up the Rifle party he en-
deavored to repeat the operation on
. bunch Of Meeker boys, but they
told him to go chase himself" and
blum didn't work. The Telegram's
expose put the forestry officials on
Moore's trail, and his little get-rich-
quick scheme was nipped In the bud.

About Two Hundred Years AT.
terWard PaSSaic Became
a CITY.

Both the commercial and social his
tory of Psssaic is interviewer with that
Of New York.
Soon after the Dutch settled in New
York. or Amsterdam, as it was then
called, some of the more venturesome
made a trip up the Psssaic River and
founded in 1876 the little Dutch settle
ment of Acquackanonk, or. as it was
sometimes called, Paterson Landing It
gradually became a port OF entry of
some Importance.
The Township OF Acquackanonk was
created in 1898, and in 1866 the Town
ship of Passaic was created from il,
and three years later, in 1869. the viii
lage Of Passaic was incorporated.
About this time the value of the Pas
sale River for power purposes, to-
gether with the waters value for
bleaching and dyeing textile fabrics
was recognized and a new era dawned
for Passaic.
Il was not long after this that Pas
sale became a city. This occurred in
1875. and PASSAGES real commercial and
social growth probably can be dated
from about that time. With a popula-
ton Of about 5000, il jumped with
rapid bounds 10 1000 in 1850, 10 10000
in 1890, to $4,000 in 1900, TO $1,000 in
1910 and the pre- ent estimated populs-

Court of Appeals Ruling in
Ashokan Reservoir Case.

The Court Of Appeals recently hand
ed down q decision in the matter Of the
City of New York against the Bo; ID Of
Assessors Of the town Of Gardiner,
Ulster County, holding that the aque-
duct constructed by the City of New
York to convey the water from the
Ashokan reservoir is exempt from tax
alton.
"This decision affects the taxation in
more than twenty towns in the counties
through which the aqueduct runs, and
will mean a great saving to the tax
payers of the city," says the Advisory
Council of Real Estate Interests.
at terminates a gross injustice, mas
much as these various towns were
assessing the improvements on the
property, as we'll as the land itself,
owned by the city through which the
aqueduct passes. Within recent years il
has been the custom for many of the up
state towns to charge very high rates
Of taxation on this city squeduct prop
erty. compared with the tax rate upon
similarly situated land belonging to
their local taxpayers. For example, in
the town of Southeast the assessment
of the city aqueduct property was IN
creased Immediately after its acquisl-
tion by the City OF New York from
500 an acre to 1912, with result that
the City Of New York, owning in that
town in 1910 only l6h per cent Of the
total area OF the town, most Of II acre
age property outside of the thriving
village Of Brewster, paid, nevertheless
45 per cent Of the taxation OF the en-
tire town"

matter by William p. Burr, former AS
