Another Delegation of Citizens Waits on the District Commissioners. About 1 o'clock to-day a delegation of Prominent residents of the third school dis- trict, consisting Of Messrs. Marche, Fergu- son, Allen, Scott, Dulin, Moore, Vermillion, Curtis, Taylor, Van Doren, Rathbone, Cor- nisp, Beatty, Smith, Fry, Robey, Notting- bam, and others (several of them being trus- tees and ex-trustees of the public schools), Waited on the District Commissioners to en- ter their protest against the plan proposed by the delegation of citizens who were be- fore the Commissioners yesterday, the ac- count of which was published in STR, of a gen reo! seb .and especially as to outsiders interfering with the third district school trustees. Several gentlemen from other school districts were also present. TRUSTEE Hove’ After being introduced and seated Trustee Hovey entered the room and addressed the District Commissioners as follows: Gentlemen Commissioners:—I uave come here to-dey to say that I desire you to consider my resignation of the cffice of school tras tee iready tendered. I have held the of- fice through no solicitation of mine, and bave discharged its duties as well as I could and at great inconvenience to myself. In no case have I made an unprovoked assault on any man,butl have defended myself when attacked as best I conid. I see by the nblic press that Mr. Given claimed yester- poe that he had used no offensive ianguage respecting me. Nevertheless, he described me sheeringly * Mister, alias General Ho- vey.” This, certainly, is offensive, and | cannot see how it could have been otherwise intended. I do not desire, however, to con- tinne personalities, and shall accept Mr. Given’s disclaimer 2a @ denial of intention esterday’s zation of the to sneer at my military service, and there- fore, 1 withdraw apy olfensive term I may have applied to him.

Vemi'}ton said the delegation had called to enter their protest against the Plan svgeested by the delegation of citizens yesterday (as pubilst.ed) of a reorganization Of the school beard contemplating avy such appointments for the third districtas had been reported in the interview yesterday They do not desire to be furnished with schoo! trustees for the third district by the entlemen of that delegation. As to General lovey, Be bad given all ole satisfac- ton the third district. Under his fattnfal labors, the degree of prosperity in the schools bad vever been greater, aud all were satistied With him as @ trustee. Mr. T. B. Marche said that as an ex-trustee of *he school board he had read with great interest the controversy between the trustees of the several districts, superintendents and teachers, and the subsequent action of citi- zens in public meeting and elséwhere. As to the efficiency of trustees. their zeal and energy in the school interests, about which #0 much had been stated in public print, he referred to school Of 1873 aud 174. Here it ap) that Mr. Edward Cham) lin bad @itended 18 meetings of the sui board, and had made 171 visits to the schoo!s. tings and 308 visits. E t- 16 meetings and 799 time B. ngs ore mon the of school sessions Mr. Champlin paid twice the number of visits to schools That Mr. Lioyd did; while Gen. Hovey, with the same length of ree nearly four times as many visits to as Mr. Lioyd, while Mr. French, a government clerk. visited the schools during the same year 799 times, — nearly ten visits to one for Mr. Lioyd. it , im the re- , the — # the ee fap Sre not given, but it appears that the trus- tees of third district paid more visits to the schools than the trustees of any other district, and the trustees of the fourth dis- trict the least number. The facts are that the total number of visits of trustees of the first district was 701; second do., $11; third do., 1,135; and fourth do., 439. So that the charge that the trustees in the third district do not visit the schools, and are not aware of what is goingon in them, will not hold J. W. Clarke, ex trustee, spoke of the t ress made in the third district Under their present trustees, and protested against the change proposed in that district by outsiders, as they do not desire to exper- iment, and the citizens are entirely satisfied With the present trustees and teachers.

Leproit Park. Mr. James H. Mctiill, arcuitect, has for- warded to the Inspsctorof Buildings, Mr. Thomas M. Plowman, # communication, ir which he furnishes mteresting information in relation to the improvements made in Le Droit Park within the last two years. He states that the different tracts of land com- posing the park were purchased at different Umes from June, 1872, to March, 1573, Messrs. A. L. Barber & Co., aud united by these gentlemen into ove tract, which bas been been careiully surveyed and recorded. This park is in the form of an equilateral Uriangié, with one side resting on Boundary Street and reaching from 7th street eastward lo 2d street, and contains fifty acres. Until its subdivision by the present proprietor the eastern tract had been usei for privat residences aud grounds, and tne weste:n por tion had laid unecclosed for several year and had been a public common. Improve ments Were s00n commenced on @ Libera seale; @ handsome pattern of com ination Wood and iron feuce was adopted aud bul! ail along the entire front and a toa-d fence aii along the rear, making one encks- ure. All the interior fences were removd and the lots thiown in together, affording continuous sward. Sireeis were yraded, gTaveled and guttered, brick side-walks were pat down, and gas, Water and sewer mains The erection of buildings was commenced in July, 1873, since which time elgat large brick residences have been erected on the north side of Maple avenue and two on the south side, costing from $1,000 to $12,000 each; ten houses on the north cide and ten on the south side of Spruce street, at an average cost of $3,500; two houses on the north side of Elm street, vosting $3,000 each; four houses on the east side, and five on the west side of Harewood avenue, costing from $4,000 to $10,000 each. A very superior stable and carriage house has been completed for A. Langdon, esq., and another is in covrse of erection for A. R. Appleman, esq. Up to this date forty-one superior residences and two handsome stables have been constructed at ®& cost of &bout $200,000. These houses are either built Lo orgeeg or in couples; are nearly all of brick; of varied designs, no two poe | alike either in size, shape, or style of finish, or in the color of exterior. About $4,000 has been expended in the purchase and — of ornamental shade trees and edges, and about $50,000 in street Improve- ments. About 4,500 lineal feet of streets have been graded and gravelled, 9,000 feet of stone and brick gutters iaid; 5,000 feet of brick pavement, 4,000 feet of sewer mains, 3,560 feet of water mains, and 3,800 feet of [nag ogee bers ep en Ne gee bos been yy the proprietors property without @ dollar from the District or authorities, and all the work has been done in tue best and most liberal jpanner under the direction of Mr. McGill.

EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS’ WoRTH OF HOUSEHOLD FURNITURE EXEMPT. In reply to inquiries of the Superintendent of Assessments and Taxes, asking that, in cage @ person bas ouly household, and 20 store, shop, or office furniture, is he entitled only to exemption of 8300 worth, as provided In section 4, under head of exemptions, (see schedule of personal property and section 14, Statutes at Large, 5,) Or ia he entiticd 3 the amount of exem: ($500) a3 provided in section 5 of said schedule, Assistant At- torn a paces — the different ex- beh ve, and each is entitled to Semen under ihe five ‘schedule. “House- hold furniture” is exempted both under clauses 4 and 5,as mentioned inechednie, Under clause 4 the exemption of household furniture is to the amount of three hundred dollars in value; under clause 5 the exem) tion is of household furniture not over value of five hundred dollars. The te exemption, therefore, of household is eight hundred dollars. If, therefore, a per- son bas nothing but household furniture to the value of one thousand he would be taxable only on two hundred dollars. ‘secon: question (he aoswer is made the that the five hundred dollars a as mentioned in section s of tue act of June 12, 1876, 1s not intended as a substitute for the | oben Provisions in the same act, and persons must be allowed the benefit of the exemptions mentioned in section 4, and also the benefit of ail mentioned ia section 5, In ease of household farniiure the exem| — Would amount to elght hundred dol- ‘Be Suppose 2 person owns a family lbrary not exceeding In yalue four hundred dollars, and also @ professional library, not held for sale, worth five hundred dollars, he is yr & from taxon both libraries. It must b3 ob- sei ved, however. that if@ person owns wear- ing apparel, beds, bedding, stoves, cooking ntensils, &c., worth three hundred dollars in value, on which he claims exemption, and also household furniture worth one thou- sand, the amount of household furniture ex- empted is only five hundred dollars, because the amount of three hundred dollars exempt- ed under sec.ion 4 of schedule may be made up by the other articles menioned, besides housebold furniture; and the exemption of three hundred dollars is intended cover beds, bedding, stoves, cooking uten- slls, &c., as well as household furniture. But the whole amount of the three hundred dol- lars may be exuausted by other articles than housekold furniture, in which case no houss- hold farniture would be exempt under sec- ton four, but the exemption of five hundred dollars for household furniture remains good under section five.
