WEST SIDE EVENTS.
Hoard of Trad Of fieevs Soluui-ii
Effort to Paw Wast Laekawaaaa
Avease to Ba Mad.
The 'West Bide board of trade met
last evening and nominated offlcera for
the next term. For president. E. M.
Clarke and T. F. Mason were named;
for vice-president. Dr. P. F. Struppler;
for secretary. C. K. Daniels: for treas
urer. William FarrelL The election will
take place at the next monthly meet
ing of the board. Many things of in
terest to the West Side were touched
upon and action taken In several in
stances. The board, by motion, ap
proved the practice of "flushing" the
streets as a way to remove dirt. The
attention of the street commissioner to
streets on this side was called. It was
resolved that a pave be laid on West
lackawanna avenue hill. This means
that the Traction company shall re
move its useless tracks on that thor
oughfare. Other Traction company
matters were discussed.
The board still cherishes the hope
that a viaduct will be erected over the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
tracks. Mayor Bailey's outspoken ap
proval of the plan has encouraged the
members. Last night they asked the
Traction company to double-track
Weat Lackawanna avenue f r. m Frank
lin to Seventh and from the latter street
to leave the single track now In use
with the forethought that the viaduct
will eventually reach form Seventh to
Ninth. The matter of the new belt
line was discussed. The boaid also
urged the Traction company to open
the line connecting Providence and
Hyde Park.
The banquet will be an informal one.
and will follow the next meeting of the
board, the place to be selected later.

COUNTY TO PAY ASSESSORS
Concluded from Page 1
The act of M34 and Its supplements pro
vide for the valuation of property and tha
registration of voters. The 111th section
of the act of April 13, A. D. 1SS7 (P. U 41).
provides for the enrolment of persons nt
for military duty. Tha act of June C A.
D. 1S93, provides for the registration of
births and deaths by the district assessor.
In the performance of all these duties the
assessors act under the supervision of the
county commissioners and make a return
to them of all work done under the provis
ions of law.
In my view of the Question, section 4 of
the compulsory school law, requiring the
assessors to make an enumeration of
school children between the ages named,
is an enlargement of the powers and du
ties of district assessors, and, since the
work is done under the supervision of the
county commissioners by authority of law,
it seems to be a reasonable conclusion that
the county is liable for the payment or
the services rendered by the assessors.
This construction is strengthened by the
fact that the district assessor makes the
enumeration of school children at the same
time he makes a valuation of property for
purposes of taxation and a registration
of voters. The county is certainly liable
for the time spent by the assessor In mak
ing a valuation or property ana regis.
1 ration or voters, and. since tne reclaim
Hon of school children is made at the
same time, it would be very difficult to
decide what portion of his time was spent
In making the valuation of property ami
how much of it was left to be devoted
to the registration of school children. If
the county should be held not liable to"
the payment of the services of assessors
under the compulsory school law, then
would we have the anomalous situation
of an assessor being paid by the county
for part or a day spent in making a val
uation of property for the purposes of tax
ation and the registration of voters,
while part of the same day, spent in the
enumeration of school children by tho
same officer, could not be paid out of the
county funds: This certainly was not the
Interpretation of this act of assembly.
This position Is substantially sustained In
the case of Corr vs. Lackawanna county,
lt P. S. 67.
EQUITY BUT NOT LAW.
It Is argued, with some force, that the
compulsory school luw concerns cities,
boroughs and townships, and that the
county should not be liable for the en
forcement of any of its provisions. While
there may be something of equity In this
position, it is legally unsound. The same
objection could be raised as to the pay
ment of assessors who make a valuation
of the property in a district. It Is the cus
tom of nearly every school district In the
commonwealth to take the valuation of
property made by the assessor and re
turned to the county commissioners as the
basis of the tax levied for school pur
poses. It has never been contended, how
ever, that the county should not pay tin
assessor for his servives in making the
valuation of property because the school
district received the benefit of that ser
vice and made Its assessment of taxes
upon the valuation thus made. It was no
doubt the Intention of the framers of the
compulsory school law to provide an
easy and convenient method of obtaining
Hie enumeration of the school children of
each district between the ages of elijht
slid thirteen years. It was apparent lo
Die legislative body that this could b
most readily done by the assessors at the
sume time they performed their other du
ties. Hence tho law Imposed this addi
tional burden upon the district assessors
imJ required that they should make re
turn of their work to the county commlu
sloners, and provided the same compen
sation for that service as for other ser
vices umler the law. To hold, under
these circumstances, that the county Is
not liable for the payment of the district
assessors in making the enumeration of
school children, would be doing violence to
every principle of justice and to all rules
ouncernlng the Interpretation of stat
utes. I am of opinion, therefore, that the dis
trict assessor, In making the enumera
tion of school children and returning tho
same to the county commissioners, under
the provision of the compulsory school
law, Is entitled 1o receive his per diem
compensation for this service, taken in
connection with such other services as
hi performs under the authority of law,
out of the funds of the proper county.
Very respectfully yours,
JOHN It. ELKIN.
Deputy Attorney General.

Matter of Membershlp-De-Mils
of the Mew Pisa.
An Interesting meeting- of the Lacka
wanna Institute of History and Science
was held at the board of trade rooms
last night. A. W. Dickson presided
and John Proud acted as secretary pro
tern. On account of the proposed ereo
tlon of another atory to the court house
the institute has been forced to va
cate the third floor, and the offer of the
Green Ridge Library association, ten
dered by K. 11 Sturges, has been ac
cepted. The specimens, books and pa
pers and collections will be removed to
the library this week.
The Intention Is to spend the summer
and early fall In Green Ridge and by
the end of that time to be able. If possi
ble, to move into a building; of their
own In Nay Aug- park. Charles Le H.
Wheeler, the curator: John J. Van Nort.
Dr. L. M. Gates and John Proud were
appointed a committee to report some
feasible plan for the building and have
plans drawn.
It will be seen whether or not the
city will be satisfied to permit the con
struction of a lire proof one-story
structure of brick at a point conveni
ent to the end of the street car line
about at the Intersection of Arthur
avenue and Mulberry street Tne
members are confidently hopeful that
enouch of money can be raised to
erect a brick building, and that Its lo
cation In Nay Aug park will serve to
encourage a great interest in the people
at large, who will be attracted to the
beautiful resort.
AMENDMENTS TO CONSTITUTION.
The amendments to the constitution
were read by Mr. Wheeler and were
approved of, but the ratification of
them was left over until the May meet
ing. The most Important change Is
that which relates to the degrees of
membership. Heretofore the Institute
was made up of life members, who paid
in $100 and were absolved from the pay
ment of dues; active members, who
paid $5 a year; honorary and Junior
members.
The new plan is to confer the degree
of patron on any person who gives
$1,000 to the institute. Such person can
hand down that degree to any person
he wishes, bv whom It may be trans
mitted further to posterity and so on
ad infinitum. Tha second degree of
fellow, which is conferred upon anyone
who donates $500. This' degree runs
only to two generations. The third de
gree is that of life member upon pay
ment of $100, the same as now, and
the fourth degree Is that of annual
member, whose yearly dues are $5.
Any person can be admitted to any
of these decrees who will give to the
institute specimens or any other thing
iwiee tne value of tha amount of money
necessary to obtain the degree. The
junior membership will be abolished al
together, and the honorary membership
must pe recommended by three-fourths
of the board of trustees. This is to cut
off the practice of many members who
get up in meetings and because they
think A. or 11. is a good fellow, they
move that he be admitted to honorary
memoersmp.
THE JUNIOR MEMBERSHIP.
The junior membership dlsrjoses of
the wholesale admission of young folks,
school boys and school girls, or stu-
uenis, as memDers.
The junior membershlD has been onlv
an honorary membership. Instead of
this It Is proposed to admit them as stu-
aents or the institute. A great many
ladles were members on the roll bv
grace merely because they took an In
terest in scientific research.
This will be abolished and any wo
man can now pay her money the same
as the others and be admitted to any
'si i memoersnip. xnere Is a
cnange proposed in the matter of the
time or nomina- the annual meetlmr
By the new arrangement the board of
trustees will have power to designate

INTERESTING STATEMENT
OF A NEW YORK GENTLEMAN
Regaraiag the Nw DUcevery Can o Dys-
Sotne weeks ago the newspapers of
the country devoted considerable space
to an account of an interesting discov
ery In medicine, which, it was claimed,
would cure all forms of dyspepsia and
stomach troubles. Since the time many
experiments have been made with the
remedy In order to demonstrate Just
how much real merit it possessed. The
results of these experiments have been
all that could be desired; In fact in
many cases the cures very little short
of wonderful.
The remedy la prepared in losenge or
tablet form, pleasant to the taste, and
harmless even for the stomach of an
Infant In fact, no secret Is made of Its
Ingredients, being composed of vege
table essences, fruit salts, pure pepsin
and bismuth. They are sold by drug
gists under the name of Stuart s Dys
pepsia Tablets, and are undoubtedly
the safest and most reliable remedy to
use when the stomach is weak, or any
trouble whatever with the digestive
organs.
Mr. C. Benslngcr, of the firm of Hen-
singer & Co., 6 and 7 Dey street. New
York city, relates hla experience brief
ly but unmistakably. He says: Some
three months ago I purchased at a
drug store two boxes of Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets and I take great pleas
ure In stating that after using about
half of one fifty cent box I felt such
wonderful relief from the dyspepsia
I was suffering from that I did not
need the rest of the box. Having many
friends who were equally troubled with
some form or other of Indigestion, I
suggested and offered to them some of
the Tablets and the verdict of all who
have taken them la the same, that they
are wonderful in their effect and the
best thing of the kind. I have nothing
but the best wishes for Stuart s Dys
pepsia Tablets. Very truly.
C. Benslnger,
E and 7 Dey street. New York.
Thoughtful men and women are cau
tious regarding patent medicines and
very properly so. Being secret prep
arations you cannot knew just what
you are taking Into your stomach. With
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, composed
as they are of pure, fresh pepsin, vege
table essences, fruit salts and bismuth,
no risk is Incurred. The overworked,
Irritable stomach is at once Invigorated
and rested, and perfect digestion means
strong; narvetl and muscles, a clear
head, energy for mental or physical
work and capacity to enjoy life.
All druggists sell Stuart s Dyspepsia
Tablets. If yours does not happen to
have them he will get them for you.
