Warner Charles Woodhull 2.300 6,000 5.600 (Special to the Eagle.) Flushing, L. August 7 The Board of Assessors of the Town of Flushing, realizing the serious consequences that were liable to result from any failure to comply with the requirements of the new tax law, complied with Its provisions ia its minutest details and accordingly placed the assessment of real and personal property at its full value. The assessed valuation has been increased from year to year. The Increase is due to the equalization of such property as has heretofore escaped taxation by reason of undervaluations In comparison with the property. This year the assessment has again been materially increased, in fact doubled.

The increase over last year amounts to over $3,500,000 In Flushing Village alone. The assessed valuation of Whitestono has been Increased to $2,100,000, double the amount of last year. In College Point the increase has been about $1,200,000, and in the unincorporated district about $1,500,000. Over $1,000,000 worth of personal property has been added to the tax rolls. All this week the assessors were in session and received numerous protests from property owners, many of whom have heretofore held their property at prices far in advance of market rates and paid taxes on mere nominal valuations.

The increase in the assessment this year is particularly large upon the snore front property, and many of the owners of residences along the shore are consequently astonished at the raise. The assessors will hold a meeting at the Town Hall, Tuesday, August 17, to listen to the protests of these who may object to the increase in the taxes. Among some of the most important changes in the assessed valuations are: FLUSHING. 1896. 1S97.

Gaines 6,100 3.600 Far Rockaway, L. August 7 The latest development to the ferry war between the Far Rockaway Ferry and Improvement Company and the new Steam Ferry Company is an attack on the bridge which the Far Rock away Company has erected over the inlet, Trom the foot of Grand View avenue to the outer beach. The bridge is about eight feet wide and about a quarter of a mile long, over which cottagers and summer visitors pay 5 cents to walk to reach the bathing grounds on the outer beach.

This was erected in lieu of the Steam Cable Ferry, which the company operated previous to this year. Owing to the changing of the bar and the narrowing of the channel at this point, a draw about twelve feet wide was placed over the channel to allow the passage of sailing craft. It is a small affair, worked by a windless, which lifts the draw to a vertical position. John F. Cronin and James Bishop organized a Terry company and operated steam launches, starting at the foot of Broadway and landing passengers east of the bathing pavilions.

This ferry took a number of the patrons of the old company, who built a fence to compel those people fo use the bridge. Cronin retaliated by drawing up a petition and having it signed by thirty of the boatmen in the inlet, complaining of the bridge as an obstruction to navigation; this petition was presented to the WaT Department and as a result, C. S. Kelsey from the Whitehall street branch, was sent down to Far Rockaway to investigate. He interviewed Captain Rushmore Hicks and others, sailed through the draw on one of the new company's launches and secured statements from all parties concerned in the fight.

What Mr. Kelsey's opinion is or what report he would make he would not say. Both companies are now awaiting developments and are anxious to hear from the War Department; CHURCH FAIR. West Islip, L. August 7 The women of Christ Church (Protestant Episcopal), at West Islip, are holding a fair for the benefit of the church this afternoon on the broad lawns of Colonel Alfred Wagstaff.

Longbotham "the subject that the local assessor, Henry P. Combes, decided that something must be done, and corrected notices are now appearing at Sea Cliff, stating that the assessors will sit in that village on Wednesday, August 18. That they will receive more com avenue, which was not built, resulted debate, but the bill was finally allowed and audited. Supervisor Dunton said that the boards had already paid Engineer "Brown $5,000 for rignt to use his plans for the work. Engineer McLaughlin said that he had prepared the plans and specifications under a contract with the Board of Aldermen of "Brooklyn and the Queens County Board of Supervisors; he was to receive 5 per cent, on the cost of the work for his compensation, one half from each county.

He stated that he had spent $1,100 for borings under the xiver bed, $1,800 to an assistant in preparing the plans and $1,000 for the expert opinion of Theodore Cooper, an eminent engineer, to whom the plaDS were referred for examina tion. The chairman stated that a short time ago the two counties paid $10,000 for plans lor a lift bridge at this point, which was never built and now they were called upon to pay $7,000 more in addition to the $5,000 paid Brown for plans for another pro posed bridge! which is not to be built. He then said: "I don't believe the bridge ever will "tie. built by these two counties." Supervisor Kaufmann of Long Island City said that ifa high, level bridge and viaduct road was built the grade of a large section of Long Island "City's streets would have to be raised to conform with the level and while he conceded it would prove a splendid thing for the town he would not dare advocate such an expense for his city at present. It was reported the present old structure was again in a dangerous Condition, having recently been run into by a scow and is now badly broken.

A meeting of the joint bridge committee of the Board of Aldermen and Supervisors was anouneed to Tie held to day at the Brooklyn City Hall. The contract for building a new abutment for the Blissville bridge, awarded by the com mittee to P. J. of Brooklyn at $20,800, and which had been approved by the Board of Aldermen and the mayor of Brooklyn, was also approved by the Board of Supervisors of Queens. The counsel the board was di 'rected to confer with the corporation counsel "of Brooklyn in drawing up the contract.

County Treasurer Charles J. Phipps was au thorized to borrow $30,000 for four months on the credit of the county, to pay bills now due or soon to accrue. That official appeared before the board and stated that he had only about a thousand dollars on hand aside from a. half million of dollars in his hands arising from the sale of county bonds and devoted to the building of county roads, and a fund which he had set aside for the payment of returned school tazes amounting to $33,337.44. Michael Higgins appeared before the board on behalf of St.

Monica's Church Society, asking the board of permission to extend their cemetery over a tract of land owned by them, adjacent to their present burying ground, on Church and Prospect streots, in the Village of "Jamaica. Mr. Holland, whose dwelling house is located in the vicinity, appeared in behalf of the opponents of the extension. The whole matter was referred to Supervisor F. W.

Dunton of Jamaica, to report the same at a future meeting of the board. Supervisor Underbill of Oyster Bay was authorized to dispose of future issues of town bonds, either by public or private sale, as he might judge best. About $100,000 of the last appropriation of the road Improvement bonds of Oyster Bay have been sold, leaving $250,000 still to be disposed of. Townsend Scudder, the counsel of the board, rendered an opinion disapproving a portion of the bill presented by the commissioners of charities and corrections of Brooklyn for payment by Queens County for the board of prisoners in the Kings County Penitentiary for the year ending December 31, 1896, and the bill was sent back for correction. It was held that the following prisoners, aggregating 2,103 day sentences and confined for misdemeanors, are a county charge: Patrick Hayes, James Gormuly, Eugene Hockmeier, Frank Rancher, Angello San tora, August Killmeyer, Josepn Seidler and Frank Cada, all convicted of assault In the third degree; Thomas Irwin, Charles Buck and "William Levi, all convicted of petit larceny, and Daniel Kichter, convicted of assault in the second degree, and Anna Cox, convicted of destruction of property.

The keep of the following prisoners convicted of felonies and aggregating 592 daya' board is properly a state charge. Emma TVillets, convicted of burglary in the second degree; Joseph McArdle, convicted of malicious mischief; Joseph Corcoran, convicted of grand larceny, and "William Miller, bur graly in the third degree.

August 7 A public meeting of the citizens of College Point was 'hold at the Poppenhusen Institute last night for the purpose of discusing the bond issue for the improvement of the village streets. The meeting was addressed by County Judge Harrison S. Moore of Flushing and Supervisor Frederick G.

Dunton of Jamaica. Judge Moore explained what effect the change of government would have on the territory to be annexed. He told his hearers that they should not hesitate to sanction the proposition of bonding the village in the sum of $115,000 for continuous roads. He said that it is very little trouble to get improvements now, but it will be a different matter after January next. "The proposed improvements will not increase your taxes," said the judge.

"The greater city will assume all the obligations of the several municipalities to be included in the territory and taxes will be equalized. All property will be assessed to its full market value. You will have to help pay for New York improvements in other places, and if you bond yourselves now the other places will have to help you pay for your improvements. Your taxes will probably be lower than they are now. The idea that each village to be annexed to the Greater New York must pay all Its Improvements is erroneous." Supervisor Dunton briefly addressed the audience on this same matter.

He urged the citizens to thoroughly consider what Judge Moore had said and vote for continuous roads. "Now is the time to get all these improvements; after January next it will be extremely difficult to get them. Good roads are essential, and will prove a benefit to the FATHER YORK'S FAIR.
