following ia a brief synopsis of
the main provisions of the new
charter: he municipality 18
divided into five boroughs, Man-
hattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens
and Richmond, which are in turn
each sub divided into ‘en council
districts. The mayor will be
elected for four years, at a salary
of $15,000 per annum, instead of
for two years at $10,000, as at
present. With the exception of
the comptroller, who will be elec-
ted by popular yots, all municipal
officers will be appointed by the
mayor, Who May remove at will,
during the first six months of his
tenure. There wiil be only one
police force, under a bi-partisan
board of four, as at present. The
department of public works is
abolished, and water supply,
sewer, bridge and street bureaus
will replace it, ‘heir heads +o be
appointed by the mayor. There
will be a municipal legislature of
two houses, the council of 18
members elected from designated
districts, and the assembly of five
metubers from each of the 21 sen-
atorial districts in the Greater
New York.

Brooklyn and Long Isiand City
are names no longer on the map,
Greater Now York coyers a ter-
ritory of 3592 square miles, 32
miles long an‘! 16 miles widey with

pen upon a portion of that class
resident within its borders, and
exempt that portion of the same
class who are non resident.

I hold, therefore that Section
51, Revenue Act of 1897, inasmucn
as it cannot apply to all drum-
mers alike as clearly intended, it
cannot apply to any drummers
and is therefore inoperative and

ative and Void.

Section 51, Revenue Act of 1897
provides that “Every person, firm,
: poration who shall
engage 1D business of selling or
offering for sale by a drummer or
with or witnout sam-

ple, goods, wares oF merchandise
of any description, in this Stale,
shall, before so selling or offering
for sale any such goods, wares OF
merchandise, pay to the State

Treasurer a tax of fifty dollars

($50.00) and obtain a license,

whieh shall operate one year from

its date.”

[tis evident that the General
Assembly, by saying “Byery per-
gon, firm, company OF corporation
meant that this tax should apply
to all drummers slike, both for-
eign and resideat. But as the
Supreme courts, both national
and State, have decided that @
State can not tax foreign drum-
mer, therefore this Section is 1n-
operetive and yoid as applied to
foreign drummers. It is further
evident that as the section was
intended to apply to all dium-
mers alike, and can not apply to
foreign drummers, it should not,
and cannot justly apply to resi-
dert drummers. It is, aleo, evi-

’ dent that the Legislature intended
to put this tax upon @ class. If
