FEW CHANGES
IN TAX LIST.
Commissioners of Appeals Held
Their Last Regular Meeting
Last Night.
MANY W PRESENT.
Little Reduc'ion] on Arnold Property—To
Tax Bruen Land—Will] Hold Special
Meeting or Dec. 28th-A Few Correc
tions Made in the Poll Tax List—Many
Disappointed.
The Commissioners of Appeal met
last night in the Citv Hall tor the last
time. The attendance was very large.
ThiB year the Commissioners’ work
hns been watched with keener interest
than for many years. Claims for ad
. jnstment literally! ponred in upon
them. In all 425 were presented. The
expectation was tnat a wholesale re
duction would be made in the work
of the assessors. Tne commissioners,
however, made few corrections in the
assessors’ work. A nnmber of emnl!
errors in poll tay were repaired and
about 81) claims of personal tax re
ceived adjustment. The largest was
for $1,500 about $25.65. This is quite
different from what tho owners
songht. Mr. Arnold asked alone for
n reduction of $50,000 on a number of
lots in the undeveloped parts of the
city. They were assessed at some
$72,000. He claimed thev were worth
only $20,000. Some lots had a reduc
tion of 44 cents tax and others less.
Other large claims received similar
consideration. A special meeting will
bo held on December 28 to consider
the assessment of the Westminster.
This matter has been ditenssed the
last two meetings of the commission
ers. Last night it was decided to
IioTd a meeting on the 28th of the
month, in order that tho Brnon people
might have snflioieut notice ana conld
raise any objections if they so desired.
It is proposed to tax the estate at
$10,000 which would make $708. Tins
. proposed tax action is on the grounds
that during the year 1902 the proporty
changed hands and was therefore not
entitl°d to exemption in 1903.

THE VERY BEST
GOOD MUSIC
ATCHURCH.
Organ Recital at the Presbyter
ian Chinch Last Night
Thoroughly Enj.iyed.
ARTISTS WELL RECEIVED
Dr. Smith a Musician of Rare Talent
Somewhat Handicapped as Organ was
not Completed—Mr. Rcetl Miilers Sing
ing Took the Audier.ce by Storm-Re
ceived Hearly Applause.
The inaagnrnl organ recital of the
Presbvterian church took place last
night. Gerrit Smith, Doctor of
Music, Organist of the South Clinrch,
New York, gave a grand recital. Ho
was assisted by Mr. Reed Miller,
tenor soloist of the Calvary M. E.
ehnrch, New Y'ork. The program
was presented in a most scholarly
manner without any apparent striving
for effeot. The selections, some from
the groat masters, were presented iu
a scholarly manner and were inter
preted with power,rgreat beauty and
delicate expression. Dr. Smith dis
played superior technique and de
serves praise for his commendable
work. Mr. Miller has a most perfect
voice. His rendering of solos were so
well received by the nudieuce that at
one time an involuntary applause was
begun.
The organ is not yet completed.
Several stops have not yet been put in
and Dr. Smith was a trifle handi
capped in his work. The air, which
is supplied by water power, gave out
once or twice, as the pressure was not
sufficiently great. This was remedied
later in the evening.
The audience xvus large ami a dis
tinctly music admiriug crowd. Some
of the selections rendered are rareiy
excelled.
The new organ, used for the first
time last night, is a very fine instru
ment and will no doubt be much en
joyed by the congregation in the
future. It was built by Kimball &
Co., of Chicago.

Edmund De Monseiglo motioned that
tiio fnoulty appoint a’ committee to
decide upon the subject of debating
with New Brunswick High School.
Another was also made and carried.
Ir. was that the two societies should
co-operate with the Jnuinr Society.
The idea of debating with other high
schools was very favorable to tilt
members and teachers. Steps will be
taken to challenge tho New Bruns
wick High School. ‘
Wilbur LaRoe, the newly elected
president, sent in his resignation. It
was nccepted and a motion was passed
thanking him. Carl Olesen was elect
ed to fill the vacancy. A number of
dues wore collected and the money
will be used to'purohaso magazines.
The debate was long and spirited.
Itjwas on "Resolved, That the World
owes more to navigation than to rail
road. ” The affirmatives were Andrew
Wight, Floyd McHose [and Margaret
Connors. The negatives were Ernest
Pierson, Josephine Darcy and Gilbert
Sell. The judges were Adaline
Wight, Ramsay Crowell, Edward
Hunson. Tho decision was withheld.

meeting yesterday afternoon, the new
officers elected were inaugurated.

was then appointed. It is composed
of Rose Lewis, Ruth Fletcher and

Flamine. Mr. Donehne told of a visit
to the New York Snbway. J. NarkofT
recited "A Good Larder." The as
signed topic was "The effect of Foot
ball on Boys.” It was discussed'by
Leslie Crowell. The debnte was made
very interesting. The debate was on
the resolution, "Resolved, That tlie
United States should have n larger
standing army. ” It was warmly con
tested. Excellent arguments weie put
forth by both Bides. It was decided
in the end that the affirmatives hnd
tho better.The affirmative? were Clara
Hardiman, Blanche Mason, Nels
Macau. The negatives were Hattie
Meade, Maijory Mulchahey, G. Levy.
The judges were Editli Stacey, Hans

Smith street, and the many friends of
the society were there to help make it
a success. The fair is in charge of
the Dana committee and the object is
to raise enough money to start a fund

Society at the beginning of the year.
The committee in charge is as tol
lows: H. M. Christianson, chairman,
M. W. Hoyer, Carl Johl, and E.

beantifnlly throughout with American
flags and hunting, and a Chinese lan- A
tern hong here and there gives an odd
effect. In the centre of the hall
hnge pyramid of flowers, different
varieties, makes the place look like a ^B
flower gaiaen in fall bloom. Two 11
great curiosities are on exhibition as 1
'be most wonderful flsn and the queer- 1
est glass in the world, and If those J
interested will only attend the fair ^k
tonight they can see these most won
ierful things. Tne merry-go round, ^B
which was bnifffc^B^^rhristianson,

Tne ladies are also work and

around among their friends asking for
a chance on this or that article. The
many articles which were chanced oft
were donated by Perth Amboy mer
chants. A hand oil painting by Miss
Koyen, daughter of Emil Koyen, the
contractor, is the attraction of the
fair.
The different booths are in charge
of the following ladies: Coffee and
cake—Mrs. H. Christianson. Candy—
