DUPLICATES
TO BE TAKEN
UP TONIGHT.
Aldermen to Take Action on the
Valuation as Fixed by
the Assessors.
TIME LIMIT EXPIRES.
The Board of Aldermen meet to
night to take action upon the tax
duplicates. It is probable they will
accept the valuations as fixed by the
assessors and leave the matter to the
Commissioners of Appeal. This is be
cause the aldermen have not had the
time to revise the list. Tliev ^nake
no secret of the fact that they are
dissatisfied with the duplicates, but
realize the enormous amount ot work
necessary to revise the list.
The aldermen had a plan of having
two men go over the duplicates which
h^ve just been handed in and com
pare them with the list of last year.
Where valuations have been chang
ed, a note is made on a separate
sheet. What the outcome of this
work will be remains to be seen to
u^ght. The meeting promises to be
a short one.

BROKE FIRE
BOX; TURNED
IN AN ALARM.
Firemen had a Long Chase in
the Rain Last Night--Made
Them Angry.
AFTER THE” ROGUE.
If the One Who did the Trick Should be
Caught, it is Promised that Things
would Go Hard with Him—Door of the
Box was Smashed—Seemed to Play
with Alarm—Several Taps Followed.
It was a false alarm of fire that
was sounded from box 84, Lehigh ave
nue and Stanford street; about 8.45
o’clock last night. The box had been
broken open by someone and the fire
men rushed through the rain for
nothing.
When the alarm was first sounded
the firemen had their apparatus out
and while on their way to the sup
posed fire the alarm sonued more taps.
The cause of the trouble was easily
seen upon reaching the box. The
whole door had been broken. The
frrnmnn ovnfoccod f linif nninnn t\P f
rogua pretty freely and it would have
gone hard witn the person if he had
been caught at that time.
This is the first occasion of this
kind that has occurred in Perth Am
boy, since the fire alarm boxes were
installed. An effort will be made to
find the culprit who did the trick.
