F. L. BROWN APPOINTED.
Named Yesterday ns Building; In
spector to Succeed Thomas
B. Jackson.
As exclusively predicted In yesterday
morning's Tilbune, Hulldlng Inspec
tor T. B. Jackson was yesterday re
quested by Director of Public Safety
K. L. Wormser to icsign, nnd, a half
hour aftet wards, Atchltect V. L.
llrovvn was tendered the place and ac
cepted It.
Xo formal letter of request was
served upon Mr. Jackson. He wns
simply called Into Director Wormser's
olllce and requested to sever his con
nection with the department of public
safety before 6 o'clock tonight He
asked Director Wormser why this re
quest was made and tho latter replied
that it had been decided that an archi
tect was the proper man to act ns
building inspector. Mr. Jackson had
not sent In his resignation last night,
but Is expected to do so somo time
today.
Mr. Brown, the now appointee, has
decided to appoint Pormer Building
Inspector John Xelson as his assist
ant. It must be understood, however,
that Mr. Xelson's salary is to be paid
by Mr. Brown himself. ' There Is no
ptovlslon in tho appropriation ordi
nance for an assistant hulldltig In
spector, nor Is theie any Intention of
making such a provision In a separate
ordinance.
The appointment of Mr. Xelson is
entirely voluntary on the part of Mr.
Brown, and Director Wormser hd
nothing to do with It. except to ap
prove the suggestion when made. It
is understood that Mr. Brown will do
vote his time to a general supervision
of the bureau and to the approving of
tho plans and specifications for con
templated buildings, while Mr Xelson
will supervise tho construction of all
buildings and see that the rules and
legulatlons prescribed by law aie
lived up to
A certain afternoon paper -esterday
sought Ir a wlld-ejed article with V,r,
black headlines to make either Build
ing Inspector Jackson or Dhector
Wormser out n liar. It quoted tho
dlrecto.- as saying that he had asked

Headquarter for fruit and vegetables.
Mr. Jackson for his resignation, and
quoted Mr. Jackson as saying that he
knew nothing whatever about his re
rrffval and that ho had not been re
tpuexted to teslgit.
The tuct Is, that when the leporter
of this Lcrtaln paper waited on Mr.
Jackson jesterday morning tho latter
had not yet been nsked to jeslgn and
was perfectly coriect In saying that
he had not been. It was about noon
when this samo repot tor saw Director
Woimser. In the Interval between the
repot ter's Interview with the building
Inspector nnd his talk with 5tr. Worm
ser, Mr. Jackson had been requested to
resign, so that Mr, WorniRcr was per
fectly correct In stating so.
The reporter, who was athlrst for
something sensntlonal, hurried to his
office nnd wrote out a wild effusion,
headed "Wormser Says 'Yes', 'Xo,'
Snys Jackson." He forgot altogether
that two hours had elapsed between
his Interview with the two officials,
and during theso two hours the very
thing Mr. Jackson had denied trans
pired. But then It must be remem
bered that If this had been mentioned
there would have been no opportunity
to use a big scare-head.
KICKED ON THE BILL.
Councllmnnio Auditing Committee
Fumes nt the Claim of a
Board of Viewers.
The Joint auditing committee of
councils last night ran nfoul of a view
er's bill which tho members wen1
unanimous In declatlng as tho "limit"
with a veiy latgo capital L.
Councils passed an ordinance somo
time ago providing for the widening
of Scranton street, nt the corner of
Seventh street nnd condemning a cer
tain plot of ground at that place.
Court was petitioned to appoint view
ers nnd named Attomejs B. F. Acker-1-,
F. F. fllbbs nnd Clarence Balen
tine. These gentlemen viewed this
plot of land, which, It was said last
night, Is triangular-shaped and about
sixty feet long on two sides and llf
tcen on the other
Their bill, which was presented to
court nnd continued, and which was
considered by tho auditing committee
lust night, calls for the payment of
J3". Hath of the vleweis claims to
have done six days' work nt $3 a day,
making $10 fot ench, and stenogra
pher's charges of $3 are added.
According to the rules prescribed by
court each viewer makes affidavit to
the amount of time taken in making
a view and live hours of actual work,
no more and no less, is to be counted
as a dnj Thus It will be seen that
these three viewers took Just thirty
hours to arrive at a Just estimate of
the value of this plot of ground.
K.ich and evety member of the com
mittee was exceedingly w lathy last
night when this bill came up. They
teallzed that they could do nothing
but p.ixs It, ns It has been already
appioved by coutt and must bo paid,
nnd this fact made them wruthler still.
They managed to let off n little sur
plus steam however, In the way of
advetse criticism of vleweis In general
and theso vleweis In particular.
"It's a confounded outrage, that's
what It Is." said Mr. Meirlman. "It's
nn outtagc, I saj', to present a bill for
thirty hours' work for the viewing of
a little two bj- four strip of land. It
hadn't ought to huvo taken ono hour,
let alone thirty."
"I call It an Insult to the Intelligence
of the otlicinls of this city to pteent
a bill like that," said Mr. Keller. "It's
absolutely absurd on Its fate, but what
can we do? What tan tho city do?
We'tc bound to pay It, If court says
so?"
"Ill tell jou what we can do," said
Mr. Vaughan "We can pass a t evo
lution directing the city solicitor to
call the attention of couit to tho lapld
ly Increasing exoibltnnce of viewers'
bills and to suggest In a diplomatic
sort of n way that tho judges give
these hills a little mine cateful con
sideration. This city has been an easy
Iiii.iirt nil wctvum iwi ,l IIUIUUIT CJl
years and they seem to be crowlnc
bolder and -ore brazen everj- day."
It was I ally decided to have such
a resolution as Mr. Vaughan sug
gested Introduced In common council
on Thursday night.

central figure In the New Orleans
Mnrdl Gras, Is now at Saratoga supei
Intendlng the preparations. On his trip
north he was attended by one hundred
courtiers and scores of pretty maids,
and he nays that he proposes to dupli
cate the New Orleans Mnrdl Orns fete
nt Saratoga, and open the eyes of the
north to the gorgeous and beautiful
wnj' In which festivals are conducted
in sunny Louisiana. He has with him
all the knlehts nnd ladies who have
made the New Orleans Mardl Orns the
eighth wonder of the world, nnd who
now propose- (o make tho Saratoga
floral fete the ninth. Two months ago
his resplendnnt floats and golden chari
ots and bejeweled processional lohes
were sent to the New York watering
place, to bo used In the coming fete,
nnd the people of this vicinity will have
an opportunity to witness n duplica
tion of Louisiana's tnatvelous exhibi
tion. In tho grand parade, which oc
curs September B, there will be more
than twenty floats, covered with nat
ural flow eis and costing from JS.000 to
$12,000 each. I'pon these there will be
over one hundred characters In the
richest costumes. The scene In one
which beggars description. At the

Land
When a man buys
a lot he buys not the
1MnsJ ! Ua !1. a
2flQ I the land. The con-
Titles
he holds possession
arc determined by
his title. By his pur
chase he may obtain possession of
a piece of land, but if he has not
obtained the title the law ousts him
and he has no remedy. A trifling
defect in a transfer made a genera
tion ago may cause the loss of a
man's entire' fortune. The policy
of a title insurance company af
fords the cheapest, quickest, safes
and simplest method of ascertain
ing the conditions of a title.
