OVER THE HILL
At JAMESbURG
Famous Drama Enacted at
Meeting of the Borough
Common Council

JAMESBURG, Feb. S-One of the
largest audiences to attend a ses-
sion of the borough council Monday,
saw "over the hill" enacted in its
most artistic manner when two sons
James and Frank Ackers came to
defend themselves on the charge Of
abusing an aged mother, who care
takers had put on the care of the
poor fund If the borough. Following
an argument lasting nearly an hour
the decision was left that the wo-
man, Mrs. J. l.. Collins, mother OF
| the men, who lies unconscious of
! the enactment of the tragedy was to
be returned to the home OF her son.
Frank Acker. at this place and to
be under the supervision of the over
seer of the poor, Jacob Hausser.
Mayor Jacob Wyckoff presided
with a full membership present:
Messrs. Hutchinson, Lokerson, Con-
Brooks.
The population of stray dogs in
the borough limits was brought be
fore the council by John Z Hugs,
newly appointed game warden for
this section who appeared before thu
body asking that some ordinance be
enacted that will make owners OF
stray dogs keep them at home and
not be allowed to run the woods de-
stroying game. He said hat from his
casual observation there must be
over one thousand at large. If nc
attention is paid to this warning Mr..
Huggs said that he intended to arrest
the owners of the dogs and impose
a fine of $40 and costs as the law al
lowed.
Borough Assessor Paxton was be-
fore the council charged with a
grievance over the alleged unfair
ness of the salary of the collector
and himself. AS there is a differ
ence of 5000 Mr.. Paxton laid before
| the council just what he is expected
to do and claimed that his duties
were even more exacting than Collec-
tor John Erhart. Heretofore the
salaries were equal. but in the last
three years Mr.. Erhart has been
having his salary boosted" without
| ever appearing before the council.
He said that the collector mad moth
ing to do but sit and collect the
| money and if he works the entire
year that is his own poor manage
ment of the office. Cross examined
by Councilman Hutchinson, Mr..
Paxton evaded the pointed questions
with replies that did not bring out
the points desired.
Mavor Wyckoff settled the discus
sion somewhat by The assertion that
already the members of the finance
| com mittee had arranged to give Mr..
Paxton an increase of $50 per year.
Charles Polina, was before the
council in an effort to have a sup
| posed unjus. rate of interest deduct
ed from his taxes. 1t was found that
Mr.. Poiena rad been taxed twice for
personal pr rerty and the S1.9O was
deducted by council.
The matter of taking care of Mrs,
J. l.. Collins. came before the meet
ing when Frank Ackers objected to
the placing O his mother on the poor
account of the town. He said that
he was willing and ready to provide
a home for his mother at any time
if she would but return to him. He
explained her presence at the home

ed by a number of passengers and
commuters using the trains morning
and night to business in Manhattan.
A conference was held by a COM
mittee composed of men from
Pleasant Plains and Great Kills with
Mr.. Murray recently in the matter
of faster and better train service on
the Tottenville division. Nj MUIR
ray stated to the committee at that
time that their request was ~reasona-
BILE and would be given full consid-
erativn by the management. He de-
clared that action would be taken
to meet with the wishes expressed
to take effect when the summer
train schedule was put into effect in
May.
The new ninety-five-pound steel
rails being laid down between Tot
~tenville and st. George were in
