Asking that the court dismiss the bill, the county commissioners and as sessors filed their answer today to the equity suit brought by the I w. to enjoin the county officials from collecting the coal taxes in Plymouth township on tne basis of the 1913 as sessment. This is the famous equity suit that the L. W.

brought, and the court at the outset denied the de fendants' application to dismiss the bill on the ground that equity had no jurisdiction and that the remedy was by appeal, The defendants admit the first, sec ond, third, fourth, fifth, seventh, eighth, and tenth paragraphs of the complainant bill. The first para graph refers to whom the parties in the suit are, the second is in reference to the property owned by the plaintiff in Plymouth township, the third is in regard to the constitution providing that all taxes shall be uniform, the fourth pertains to the act of Assembly creating the board of assessors, the fifth paragraph has to do with the sub assessors, the seventh is in refer ence to the plaintiff being the lessee of coal in Plymouth township, the eighth says the plaintiffs are dissatisfied with the assessment and took an appeal, the tenth is relative to the de cree of the court that the township should levy and collect a special tax during the year 1913. The respondents admit the aver. ments contained in the ninth para graph, so far as the same pertain to the tabulation of tne assessments ot plaintiff's property in Plymouth town ship and deny the averments so far as the same pertain to the manner in which the duties of the subordinate assessors were performed. The respondents generally deny the awrmenta tn rthe ltii.

The sixth paragraph says that the triennial assessment was to be made the closing months of 1912 for the year 1913 and William Sanders, the defendant, as the duly appointed sub ordinate assessor In the district of Plymouth township. In part performed his duty as such sub ordmate assessor, but was prevented from making the assessments and valuations of the coal in the district. The elevnth paragraph charges that the county commissioners and board of assessors, ignoring the plaintiff's appeal from the assessment, have sent copy of the assessment, including tne assesment on coal in the township, so wrongfully and unlawfully made and that the special tax aforesaid has been levied thereon bv the subervlsors and the duplicate placed in the hands! of Edward Delaney, collector, ror collection, and demand for payment has been made, and, in order to collect a portion of said special tax, has caused certain levy to be made upon ana seized and taken for the non payment.

75 mules, two locomotives, two hoist ing engines, one breaker engine and personal property and advertised the same for sale on September 6. The twelfth paragraph charges that the pretended assessment and valuation upon the coal land is an unlawful, illegal and void assessment for several reasons. The thirteenth paragraph complains that notwithstanding the alleged as essment complained of as illegal, the tax collector is attempting to collect the same and has caused great and irreparable injury to the plaintiff. The fourteenth paragrapn com plains that there is no adequate remedy at law, the remedy by appeal being confined to an attempt to reduce the amount of the assessment rather than to absolutely set it aside and strike it down. The fifteenth paragraph admits the liability to pay taxes upon a proper as essment, but, complains of the methods and basis used in the present assessment.

30. Senator Lodge was reported resting comfortably today and his condition appears be less critical than last night. A Boston specialist and two physicians have been summoned to the Lodge estate and are in constant attendance. and for and Continuing a two months' lapse of attention to city affairs, Common council failed to hold a scheduled special session last night and unless another special meeting billed for tomorrow night is held, indications are that the repaying of South Main street will be held up indefinitely. Meanwhile the indignation of citizens and the traveling public is at fever heat, over the inability of the administration of city affairs to have the work of improving the wretched thoroughfare completed.

ToCay came a logical explanation of the shortage in the yardage in the estimate of City Engineer Langan, on which the contract was based, from former City Engineer Harry Myers, who states that when the original pave was completed, on Oct. 29., 1897, it was done under two contracts, one given out by the city and the other by tht traction company and that the yardage cn which the present contract more than that embraced in the old city contract, but does not include all the amount which the traction company provided for at that time. The contract for the resurfacing of South Main street was let to Fitzpat rick McConville and called for paving 5,920 yards of Mack brick. The contractors laid that amount and two weeks ago appeared at a meeting of Select council and declared that 5,920 yards fell approximately 600 yards short of covering the amount to be paved. City Engineer Langan was vigorously attacked at the meeting by Councilman James Kearney for an alleged deficiency in the estimate.

Mr. Langan's defense was that, according lb custom in his office, no new meaeure ments were taken for the South Main street pave job, but that the figures on which the original contract was let were used and if these were, not ac curate it was not his fault. Fitzpatrick McConviire, on their own initiative, had gone ahead on a previous Job on North Main street, after the estimated yardage had been laid, and done 31,700 worth of extra work. It took them several years lo get the bill paid. This time, they were taking no chances and asked council for the authorization to do the extra work.

Several of the councilmen expressed the opinion that they were unable to: show more ruins of homes than Du pont and no one else but the residents of the town themselves can tell of the losses they have suffered and the hardships they have undergone. yards. The most reasonable explanation of the present shortage is that the figure submitted to councils was just for the amount of yardage covered by the city contract, not including that for which the trollev company contracted. However, the present estimate is about 147 yards more than the estimate for the city's part of the original pave." "Some time ago," continued Mr. Myers, "the policy of the city was changed so that now the contracts for all such work are let by the city and the traction company pays the city its share, instead of having Its part done under separate contract.

I figure that the total yardage necessary for re paving the street would be about 6, 563 square yards. This is a little less than the total amount of asphalt laid, because the traction company has since extended its switch near the armory." i The statement by Mr. Myers is the most interesting feature that has cropped out in the controversy since Mr. Fitzpatrick reported the shortage in the estimated yardage to councils. Last night's failure by Common council to meet has not seriously prejudiced the completion of the work, but there was a burst of indignation from the citizens because the Commoners failed to assemble.

Notices for a special session have already been sent out. Since the combination of the political forces of Kehoe and Joyce, the control of Common council, from a political standpoint, is in their hands. Hitherto, breaches of duty by the Commoners have been charged against the anti administration forces. Those who assembled for last night's meeting were: Messrs. McNovin, Dtud, McHugh, Hoaley, McTighe, Haggerty, Rutledge, Jordan Vander burg, McNulty and Madden.
