all agreed that a court decision was needed to settle the matter.
 Justice Tierney heard arguments of both sides and reserved decision. It is not known when the decision Vill be rendered, but unless it is forthcoming before the September primaries the Republicans and Democrats of The Bronx will at least have the pleasure of going to the polls and voting for their favorite county officials. or would-be officials. And if that hap pens, some learned legal authorities on the three-year side of the fence go so far as to say that The Bronx will have to vote for county officers in November, on the theory that The Bronx couldn't very well go back on what it had done at the primaries.
 While the matter is in court, opin- ions are being freely passed about by self-constituted courts of law. The Ci. tizens Union has taken an active in- terest in the question and, at the re- quest of R. E. McGahen, it's assistant secretary, has received a lengthy opin- ion from Albert s. Bard, chairman of the Unions legislative committee. Summing up, MT. Bard says:
 
 Constitution must govern; that they provide a three-year term of office for The Bronx County officers in question; that the provision for four year terms in the Bronx County act is unconstitutional and must be disre- garded; and that, in consequence. nominations of such officers should be made and an election held this year,
 The Citizens Union, however, has decided to remain neutral" in the matter, believing that the question is one of law. That also is the belief of Henry K. Davis, a lawyer, who has submitted an opinion favoring the four-year term of office. MT. Davis points out that the intent of the State Constitution was to separate local elections; point which, of course, is not without it's importance as re- gards the relative chances of Hughes and Wilson in The Bronx this fall.

The home Of Mrs. Charles Alexander,

week by a number of birds of the va
riety known as the evening grosbeak, and
as those birds are very rarely seen east
of the Mississippi it would seem most
remarkable occurrence. Although these
birds have made their appearance in
Massachusetts several times no account
Of their having visited this State has
before been chronicled. There were six
birds in the flock, five were evening gros-
beaks and one was Of the variety known
as the Bohemian waxwing The former
birds are a little smaller than a robin
and the male is bright yellow in color
with wings Of black and white. The
female is much smaller and gray in color
with some yellow on its back and crest.
Their food consists mostly Of seeds and
a few berries. They were first seen feed
ing on the seeds Of a box elder which
xrew at the rear Of the Alexander home.
The birds usually travel in small bands,
visiting localities where the food supply
