those hunting for him were rewarded on
Monday by finding him. He was taken
before Squire lIitchner, of Elmer, aud
committed to Salem Jail to await court.

New Law on Taxing Personal Property

The assessors of the various townships
will soon be engaged in finding the value
of property on which taxes are to be levied.
Probably they have all taken pains to in
form themselves as to what new regula-
tions were made by the last Legislature,
but lest any one should have overlooked
Assembly bill No. G5, which became law
and which makes a change in an impor
tant particular, we print the enacting clause
below
/. BE 1T ENACTED, by the Senate aud
General Assembly of the State of New Jer-
sey, That all personal tangible property
used by the owner or owners, or by any les
see, employee or agent for such owner or
owners, in connection with any business or
employment, unless such business or en-
ployment is only temporary, shall be
assessed for faxes at the place and within
the taxing district where such business
or employment is carried on or constructed,
and not elsewhere.
