Wedding Celebrated This Morning Father Fitzgerald
 Assals Corruption in Our Land

day. He cited parallels wherein a poor man with his family in want may attempt to make 8 little money through channels that are not according to some of our pres ent laws, really legitimate, being severely dealt with, while on the other hand the big fellow with the protection gained through corrup- ton and pull is permitted to flag rantly violate the self same law. Father Fitzgerald stated that it is an insult to the intelligence of the | citizenry to have such conditions prevalent. In his talk he also re- ferred to gambling. These condf- tions he stated are more pro- nounced in the larger cities but are also found in the smaller and more remote places.
 Father Fitzgerald led up to his attack during a sermon on Christ l the King, yesterday being the an- niversary of the encyclical pro- nouncing Christ King.

 Last Week to File Lists Property owners of the borough have only the present week to file ] their lists of taxable property with f Mfnhoal Reidy and Harry H. Schofield. All lists must be filed not later than next Monday. The assessors will be in session daily this week from g in the morning until 12 noon and from l until o'clock in the | afternoon and from until 8:30 in the evening. No end of kicks are being filed with the assessors by property owners over the in- crease in their property lists made | by the revaluation committee com posed of Harry H. Schofield and Robert D. Beardsley. The increase | amounts to about one-third of the former valuation of the property. The claim is made that the large ] increase in the amount of the grand list will result in e reduc- ton in the tax rate.
 Many property owners are ques- tioning the right of the assessors to use the figures of the revalua- ton committee for the present list. ing of property, the claim being set up that the board of warden and burgesses who named the commit tee to carry on the work has never received report of their doings, nor has the borough board made any approval of their work. Whether approval by the board is necessary or not is a question that is now being looked up by sev- eral property owners. Several large holders of realty in the bor- ough have been heard to state that if the board of reliefw offers no reduction in their lists they will carry their case to the courts of the state.
