Tax Commissioner Weill 'pike for tho North Bide
Roard of Tra le and rhe twenty-six taxpayers' asso?
ciations of rho district. Mr. W-ll'* mid that the
North Biders wished lo retain tho old system of
public improvements: bo said lt should be' extended
to the outlying boroughs. Streets an'i Bewers were
dealt with next, and Mr. Wells .-.lowe.I thal the
Department of Street Improvements In the two
northmnst wards had done remarkable work. Tho
president of the Borough Hoard woull have too
much medallesome power. Mr. Wells thought, in so
far as it applied to maps of the streets, parks and
public places.
Corporation Counsel Francis M. BcOtt was tho
next speaker and gav a dissertation regarding
public Improvements which showed sn exhaustive
study of the questions Involved. Mr. Scott went
step by step into the development of suburban alls
irtcts, explaining the sewer, water, gas ami elec?
tric malus nnd their ne.salty. The borough
president was the point of Mr. s-oit's attack. Tho
borough president was not the- man In wh.>m
Shotllal li.- rested :!ie power to lay out new Streets
or te make tho maps, because be woulei In all
probability be far removed from those'who knew
the most about -uah matters.

tween .i good map and a poor one, anil thal Smith
or Brown might gel the eal ufa member of rh.- :
local Assembly and hav.- maps pa--,.-,! benefiting ,
his. but injuring bis neighbor's property. Past ex- ,
perlence had demonstrated the fact that the i.eg- | f
lilature had done great wrong in ibis respect, and
beyond doubt if lhe Assembly had a finger in tho |
pie uneb-r the new charter the- same things would | ,
result. Following the same line o' argument. Mr.
Sa-ott said the Munclpal Asaembly should have no ,
say as to wiiat streets should be reopened or what ,
sewers laid,
AS TO LOCAL IMPROVEMENTS.
Mr. Scott thought thal local Improvement should
rest with the borough boardi That was applauded,
too, for that's the- Norrh Sid,* Ides Local improve?

plauded. The speaker i.l<i?-.l that thia city .is a whole
ou; of $2S,00Q,MQ of public Improvements had paid up
all but 0,000,000, and this latter sum was n,,- paid be?
cause tbe city suthorltlei h.i'l never tried to
the money. If the money wai sought by the proper
authorities it could sll be collected, or n..: lem th>n
; ? ..-?. be outstanding Mr. Scott wsi .'-k"l If lu*
thought thal the city ai a whole would consider such
a proposition, that ni" whole city should inAne Its
bondi for local Improvement! without having any
say as to the proposed Improvement! Mr. Bcoti
thought the city would lie wiil.ng to enter Imo such
a contract.
Attacking the Municipal Assembly, Mr Scott said
that le-gisidtive bodies should not be vested with ad?
ministrative powers, The lasting In the- Assembly
of power to eui ai.awn department estimates! was
vicious. Mr. Scott said, because, If the Assembly was
al eddi with any one department because of refusal
,.f parr,ii il''. perhaps ll might exercise i's bad
umor ;,. the detriment "f the department.
Mr. lie Witt asker) if. In view of lin- fact thal all
legislative bodies should havi something to say si
ro taxation, he disapproved thi conferring of such g
power on the Assembly. He mid he did
Mr. De Witt point..! out that it was ., primeval
law of the American people that taxation should
nol ba- made wl'houl representation,
"Oh, rn Iel them fix the tas rate," retorted Mr.
Se.itt.
"Who now authorises taxation In your 'city?
From whom doe.- lhal power emanate?" queried
Mr. Pe Wilt
"Tin* Board of Aldermen nominally."
"Then you have no legitimate bo.ly In your elly
at present that authorises inn to collect your
tax?"
"No, cit; none ex-'opt tho Legislature."
"Well, Ihe legislator-; will be he-re henceforth,
ami nol in Al),-any." -retorted Mr. I>.- Witt. 1 a
Both speakers were spplauded frequently. ,
AN EXTENSION OF TIMK BUOGE8TED. ' I
Instead of separate chapters relative ro condom- * '
nation proceedings fe.r school sites, fire houses '
ami oibe'r public improvements, Mr. Scott thought '
a general chapter COVI ring all eif the matt, rs would
be better. He would submit a brief, ho said, in- j ?
corporatlng his Idess. Mr- Scott suggested ihar
the Commission request the Legislature to extend (
tts time- ino months, to file amendment! to its
work which mu-t i.. concluded, ai now provided,
by February 1.

His plan was to make tho various borough presi?

Ex-Police Justice Talntor spoke in behalf of tho

was one city, a municipality, not ii lerlea of town

Startled those on board. Two moro vlobuit bumps

Stranded throughout tho ship. Every man sprang

Whrn Part III of the tupreme Couri. who-o .Jus?
tice Truax sits each Wednesday to hear mair!- j
menial talcs of woe, was opon-d yesterday, lt was
noticed, as. tho m.my men and women filed Into the
Courtroom, that tho eourt officer assigned women
to seats on one slele of tho room anal men to seats
On tho either slele. Thu parties dl'l not seem to tako
tO this order of things kindly, but tho a-otirt offloor
was firm. Askeal what caused thU separation of
the sexes, which seemed typical of the day and its
happenings, he salel he was acting under tho order (
"f 'ho Court. "You see," rte re ?narked, "there ls so
much 'chinning' going on between tho men anel
Women over every case thal tho Judge cannot h'-ar
the testimony. So tho ust dav the divorces ware ,
heard tho .hnlgo tobi ina- to keep tho sexes apart, !
and I am following my Instructions."
A woman named Annie Levy, who was sent to
j tho Workhouse hy Magistrate* Kudllch. In tho Fssex
Market police Court, on Tuesday, on tho charge of
soliciting, was before .lustl.-e Lawrence, In the Su?
preme i'ourt, yesterday under habeas corpus pro
CeedlngS to -have her releaser! from Jail. The woman
tsserts Ipr Innocence of the charge. Atti the lawyer
who appeared for her yesterday said that the case
was analogous to the' Sommers case, decided sev?
eral days ago. Mrs. Sommers was released because
there med been no ball provision In her aommltmen:.
"Tho Sommer.) case was one In ten thousatial." said
Justice I.a wt en,-e. "and was not dea-lela-al on any
sentimental grounds, bul because the' papers In
th.mimitment wore* defective." The- lawyer as?
serted that tho same defect existed In this case, but
.lustlce Lawrence said h" thought tho woman was
properly a-ommittod. At the lawyer's request, how
e'ver. he ;oe>k tho papers, reserving nls decision, and
remanded the woman back to the Workhouse.
Justice Russel], in tho Supremo Court, has handed
down ii decision awanling ct Harry P. McOown. a
son of ex-Judge IfcOOWO, the custody of his child,
a boy two years old. IfcOOWO some time ago pro?
cured a divorce from hi- wife, Mary Kmma, Mc
Gtown, who had previously secured a Dakota di?
vorce from him. The Court then held that a
Dakota decree was valueless In this Stnte. Mrs.
McOown, after getting a decree from tho Dakota j
courts, married Harry Hell, a wealthy tile manu
facturer. McOown has a suit against him for $ioo.
OM for alienation of Mrs. Motown's affections.
Justice Russell says In his decision as to the cus- |
toals- of the child: "The wife's place ls at the home
Of h*-r husband and child, and she- cannot acquire
*a foreign resilience for th?- express purpose of free?
ing herself from the Charge of violation of duty and
exempting herself from its obligations. When Mrs.
McOown wont through the form of a marriage to
Hell, she was still'tne lawful Wife of the plaintiff
in this action. Her own wrongdoing, therefore.
cannot render valial tho judgment of a North Da?
kota colirt, which, but for that act. would have been
Wholly Invalid. Nor can I agree with the counsel
for tiie defence that sh.' shouiai have the custody ?
of the- child upon the ground that the only cause
eif complaint wish reference to thut chliel lias be'en
lia r absence freim lt for a few months. The separa?
tion between mother and child was not of the
husband's alolng. It was her own voluntary act,
which cannot be remedied because of tne persistence '
with which the steps wert.- followed which consum?
mated tbat separation."
Tho Reorganization Committee of the Murray
Hill Hank obtained yesterday from Judge Lawrence
of the Supreme Court an order requiring Messrs:
O'Brien and Trask. the temporary receivers ap?
pointee! by Justice Pryor, and Messrs. Hobbs and
Odell, the receivers appointed by the Attorney-) }en
