ARRANGING FOR BAZAAR.

The Ladies Aid Society of the First
Presbyterian Church are arranging for
a big bazaar to be held during the
month of October. The committee
will secure some business place on
Main street for the holding OF the
affair.
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1922-08-05

the property e5uftmg the sewer main
was to be assessed according to the
value of the property per front foot.
In some sections of the city the as
sessment per front foot ran as low as
IS, while in the business sections it
was relatively higher, according TO
valuation. The whole cost of the sew
erage system was stated to be approx
imately $270,000. OF this amount
100000 is to be raised by direct as
sessment against abutting properties.
This means an assessment of 1112 per
cent of the valution as placed upon
the property by the Commissioners.
For instance in one section of the city
where the tax assessor had assessed
property 40 by 140 feet deep at S100,
the Commissioners had made an as
sessment of SIS a front foot, or a total
valuation of $500. On such property
the assessment would be $3.50. In
addition to this assessment there
would also be levied the sum of s10.0S
to pay for the lateral from the main
to the curb line.
The remaining $170,0 900 is to be TAX
en- care of by a bond issue to extend
over a period of years. Where the
StMtI HALL has AOl yet ONCh idld III
some sections of the city, the property
owners will have to pay an assess
ment to cover the cost of the extern
sion of the main when it is laid. In
addition all property which does no
now have a lateral laid to the curb
will be assessed the sum of $14 to
cover the cost of the installation of
the lateral. This sum has been fixed
by ordinance of City Council. This
was explained by Councilman Edward
Stephenson, who attended the meeting
and gave the citizens some informa-
zion relative to the sewerage plan gen
orally. The assessment is TO be levied
on the value of the real estate only,
and the value OF buildings or other
improvements is not taken into con
sideration in making the assessment
Among the larger property owners
at the meeting We're James Lewis Ris-
ley and Alvin p. Risley. They were
informed that the assessment on some
of their property in the business sec
ton was placed as high as $50 per
front foot for the purposes OF this as
sessment. 1t is expected that the
Commissioners will have their report
ready to place before City Council
next Monday evening, after which, IL
adopted by Council, an ordinance will
be passed to cover the matter in de-
tail.
1t was stated by the Commissioners
that the amount OF each individual
assessment would probably be appor'
toned so as to be paid in four Install
ments, and that interest at the rate OF
civ MOI, cont would he charged on tho
unpaid balances until paid.

Commissioners of Assessment
Hold Public Hearing at City
Hall Thursday Evening.
Very Little Interest

On Thursday night the three Com
missioners of Assessment and Dam
ages incident to the installation OF the
sewerage system held a public hearing
at the City Hall, to give the citizens a
chance to be heard regarding any OBJ
jections they might have to the plan
OF assessment of property abutting the
main, in order to raise the mon
ey to pay for the cost of installation
and also to take note OF any damage
that had beea done to property by the
sewerage contractors. For such an
important matter to the citizens gen
orally there was a small attendance
at the meeting. However a number of
representative property owners APP
peared TO ascertain the method of pro-
cedure and to find out what the assess
ments against their properties would
amount to.
Chairman George Zippler, Jr., pre-
sided, and Commissioners Charles d..
Thompson and DR.. Richard NJ. Sooy
were also present, together with City
Solicitor Louis d. Champion and Clerk
Nehemiah Andrews. Chairman Zip
pier stated the object of the meeting
and had Clerk Andrews read the Off
cial notice. Then the meeting was
open TO any citizen who desired to
obtain information.
There were only two property own.
ers to present claims for damages in
CURED by the construction of the sew
er. Mrs. Jennie Gouldey stated that
the main had been run across some of
her property on Third street, between
Woodland and Adams avenues. She
had a sale partly consummated for the
property, and the intending purchaser
had refused to take the property after
the sewer line was run oyer the prop
erty, according to her statement. The
Commissioners assured her that the
claim would be investigated.
Pardon Adams was the other owner
TO present a claim. He told the Com
missiners that the sewerage contract
ors had caused his curb in front of
property at 1872 North Main street to
sink about six inches. This CLAIMS

 Germany had the first electric street railway in 1881. England had one the year following.

 Hardly" he said. because I do not believe the stamina of those races which have not reached the highest degree of civilization can stand the scientific inventions of the white race. Still there remains the possi- bility that the white race might be swamped in tirne.''
 To qualify that last statement Mir. Burbank cited the facts that in the semi-Savage races the weak are weeded out by cold and illness, but that in the case of highly civilized people such weakanss are petted
