In general terms, by oue scheme the proposal is to attach the Pirst Asseuably. Distilct to Now York 5 and by the other, to take the Second District also. We suppose some annexation scheme will he put through next winter anyhow, and therefore we must do the best we can. If the people of 'the First Assembly district want to he annexed to New York le| them go 5 if our people of this district want annexation, then let us g o ; hut by no means should Tweed and the gang Of thieves forge us to go without oip- consent Let a clause be inserted in the anx nexationjbill leaving the question to the decision of the people of the First Assembly District, cjp to each town thereof separatejy, and if deqided favorably by each town there in, then to the Second Assemhly District, or to each,town thereof, and we will he satisfied j hut unless this annexation scheme is sub mitted to the people, it will he an outrage a thousand times worse than was the imposition ot the Bonlevard*Commissioiners on the people without thefr consent. The truth is this scheme is set afoot simply because Tweed wants a new field for gigantic jobs. Nk thinks that the Westchester people will be willing he should pocket the spoils, because although only ten gents worth of work wilf be done for every dollar paid for it, yet New York will pay over ninety cents of the total, and Westchester less than the ten it is worth I and as property here will be greatly improved by the changes, we will willingly agree to let our neighbors he robbed as long as a small portion.of the robbery is given us. Judging from the signs of the times he is right, and we think he will succeed. We did intend to isay that the people of the city shouTd be allowed to vote whether they want to adopt an expensive daughter, but as Tweed*s men would dbunt the votes, and Tweed’s men would (](o, the most of the voting, such a pro position' would he absurd. Wo shall have more t Q p y on this subject hereafter. Tlig Town iPi^erty. Many years ago the town of Eastchester owned considerable reaf .estate, but little by little it has been sold for’a iiong until nothing is now left but the towa.bprial-ground next to that of St Paul’s Church Eas,tchester, and the land aroimd the tow4 ^ock. These sales .of the town property haliie.been made by the trustees of the town property, in accordance with a resolution of a town meeting authori;5- lug them to do so. Great the powers of a town meeting are, its ab^iy to authorise the sale of town property feiufcted by many, and with some show of reajw»q* } The mistake made in^yPing ^his property 'is now apparent, especjAlIy.'that in the neigh borhood of the town dock..-*^ur dock accomo dations are entirely insuflfiM^nt. A new stone pier has recently been buil4; and not long ago the old wooden one was extended,, but with sliese additional accommodations boats are fre quently kept wailing fbr others to unload. Not many yeais ago about thirty tons of coal were unloaded at the town dock—now there are ten thousand, and to tW must be added a large quantity of brick, iumiisr, and other articles. As only a small^rip of water front age was reserved for the iown, there is no o^her place at which the' town c.ia build another dock without br^ring back some of the land it formerly sold^r^'If the new dock were extended out as far.as the old one, the accommodations would be increased^ but this will not be sufficient. Of% e land belo»g^-^|o the town at the dock there is, and for years, a stand ing dispute. In lSa®> ttn .agreement was effected between the and the adjoining landowners, and a \was made of tlie pio- perty. Buhsequentlf 'iftiother piece of the land was sold to Cap^lp Oddi, and for along time he has claimed^ poitions of land in the neighhoihoci4^j|^^tie dock, which the trustees of the t o l ^ )^*|erty have likewise claimed for the tow ^ settle the dispute the map made in |va^ ntcessary, but. strange to sa^ At the last town mebtn priated to have all the- papers in the Town Clerk’s office put in order, and our keen-eyed ■’Town-Clerk, in straightening things, luckily discovered the missing map; Being possessed of this, the trustees now in office have engaged Mr, S. J# M‘Cormick to survey the property and set land-marks, so that no dispute con cerning boundary lines can occur hereafter. For bringing this long-continued dispute to a head, Mr David I. Smith, one of the trustees, deserves particular credit. A SFiriUOUS BOULEVAUD.

T he upper portion of Central Park avenue, from \W o o d law n to White P l a in s , a distance of twelve miles, is said to he if anything a grosser fraud upon the community than any of the other so-called improvements. The appropriation for Central Park avenue is $21,600 a m ile, w h ich is alm o s t a s m u c h as i t would cost to eonsiruct a first class railroad. The first act passed provided for-five Conic missioners^ who should, without compensa tion, lay out the road. Through the infiuence of the Hon. E. G. Sutherland, the father of the Exstern State Journal, an amendment was some time afterward passed increasing the number of Commissioners to seven, and allowing them $5 a day and expenses. The assessments of the property along the line of the avenue are said to-be, in almost every instance, palpable impositions and glar ingly disproportionate, and give evidence of the mosi bare-faced favoritism, as instanced in the assessment upon tbe property of J ustice J. W. Mills, one of the Whn.e Plains Commis sioners, who wants to be fcuirogate. Mem bers of both parties say that thi-y will their suffrages to no man who has been in the slightest manner identified with the boule vards*. Tne engineers’^ fees are said to be out : of all reason, and without a precedent, a,nd the bonus said to have been paid by them the co.utraciors.io secure the fat pickings xfs swelled the. profits of the political banditti almost fabulously. The avenue is at the widest only forty feet, and in tne upper part, close to White Plains, only three miles of it is said to have bden properly finished. Much of the work upon Central Park avenue is not so well done as that upon an ordinary back country road, and none of it is filled in to the required height. Near the village tbe sub contractors, Messrs. r iteaiftil nolb.i founa ■ Ganhnai.e & Heliter ot Gi-eonbuigb, -wiillum Watts, t Stone capjiiugs. Not far d ista n t th e r e is a' m a r k e d difference in- t h e co n s tr u c ti o n . There they are laid up w ith com m o n sto n e w ith o u t the cijigntest d iessing. Besides, bridges are to be set-n within three and four miles of the village whose construc tion has been entiiely uanec.ssary, as they cross no streams and cover no ravines, but are built through marshy ground at a much greater outlay than it would require to make a solid road bed. The contracts are said to have been awarded to tbe highest bidders. OFFICIAL DIEECTOEYo BOAfiB 01 TOWN OFFICERS. Brouxvilie. Avenuc- ek, W e st M ount iiuperu isor—John M.

V il l a g e T a x e s . — The Trustees have decided to levy next year a tax ofone-baif of one per cent, on the assessment of property, and ^iOOO b'cside. The last named sum is in lieu of the share of the highway tax Mount Vernon would have received from the town under the old charter. As the village of late years paid a larger share of the town highway tax than what it has gotten back, the village tix-payers will be taxed less for tins |1000 than they would .be lor the town highway tax if the new charter had not made the vil- Ucre a separate road district, betting aside this $1000 as being counterbalanced by the saving i - town tax the village will m.ake, the resuh is that the Trustees ask for fifty cenu on ^ < OO, wli6rG lcis{ y6<ir tliGj' tiiit*ty~-tonr. In reality tliey ask for even less than fiftv cents on $100, since their assessment is made on tbe roll of 1869, and that of this year will be one-sixth higher than that, on account of new houses and improvements. This will really make the rate on this veai’s assessment about 48 cents on $100. For the past tw*» years and this the rates are as follows.—1868, 73 cents on $100; 1869, 84 cents; 1870, 43 cents, Consideriiig the salaries of tbe Poiice Justice and C'jnstable, aad the other expenses introduced by the new charter, the slight in crease in the rate is very satisfactory.
