Wardens Repair Camp ~
Burned yThen They Return

Jackman, Jan. 2.-Mystery sur
rounds the burning of a camp in
Township ). Range Il, on Friday
night. Game Warden John +. Jack
son of Jackman with a crew of men
had been repairing the camp for use
by game WardenS in that section TINS
winter, doing the work at the IN
stance of the Inland Fish and Game
Department. The warden and his
men left the camp about Friday
afternoon and upon their return Sat
urday morning found the camp
in the camp during the day while
making repairs, and it is evident
that either the camp was deliberately
burned or was set afre from a fire
started in the camp that night.
1t showed hard Friday night and
the severe weather may have driven
some passing lumberjack into shell
ter. but it is thought doubtful as to
whether fire started in the camp
for comfort would have resulted in
the building being burned. This fact
coupled with the reported feeling OF
poachers toward wardens has caused
some suspicion in this vicinity that
the camp was deliberately burned.
The camp, which was one of the
old ones in the vicinity. was located
near the head of st. Johns Falls, on
the North Branch, also known as
| Eogg's Dam. The camp was stu
atcd about a Commute walk from
the Half Way House. which is
| known to hunters and others IA
miliar with the section. 1t was
about 1ox16 feet. and was badly in
need Of repair. 1t was being put in
| condition for occupancy by game
| wardens working in this section OF
the State.
been stopping nights about four miles
below the camp. and it was upon
their return Saturday that they found
| the camp in ashes.

COURT VOIDS HOUSING
TAX EXEMPTION LAW
Justice Tierney's Decision, if Sus-
tanned, viii Cost Builders of
Homes $50, 100000.

New York.-The tax exemption or
dinance passed two years ago by the
Board of Aldermen was held uncon-
stitutional by Supreme Court Justice
John M. Tierney. If the decision is
sustained by the higher courts, it
will mean loss of approximately
$S0000,000 to property owners and
the money will go to the city in taxes
on more than $4,000 dwellings valued
at nearly $406, 100000
The decision temporarily restraints
Commissioner Henry M Goldfogle and
the Board of Taxes and Assessments
from exempting new housing construc-
ton from taxation It is the first suit
brought to test thevalidity of the ordi-
nance which waived municipal taxes
on dwellings erected at a cost of
$1,000 room and not more than
$4,000 an apartment. The action was
begun as taxpayers suit May 16,
1922, by Taylor More of 2 Rector
street on behalf of the Hermitage
Company, owner of extensive prop
critics.
JUSTICE Ilefney Held IHdI the act
of the Legislature in adopting per-
missive measure according each mu-
nicipality in the State the right to
adopt tax-exemption ordinance was
void. He did not dispute the legality
of a State law exempting new dwell
ings from taxation, but he asserted
that the permissive act did not do
this. but exempted dwellings in a
particular locality.
The ruling was received with CON
sternation by the city officials and
members of the Lockwood committee,
who had fought foi hte passage of the
tax-exemption legislation. 1t WIS point
ed out that the decision would have
been hardest on the thousands of per
sons of small means who had been
encouraged to build their homes un-
der the promise that through the al
dermanic ordinance they would be ex-
empt from taxation until 1882.
