70 say Ia effect:-''The Ancient Order Of
HIbernians Of America is an order ince-'
pendent OF any foreign body and exists In
America as a body free from all foreign
influence and is independent
Now, the claim OF the receders al along
has been that they are the only Hi-
bernians recognized by the Board of
Erin, and that the order TO which Mr.
Whnere belonged was not recognized by
the Board of Erin
Mr.. Carey immediately seized upon 81 is
interview as an acknowledge u1ent OF ths

to the Irish American in support
Of this position, which ap,

the Irish American repudiating the M
terv1ew in the Herald and refteratinG'
our claim that the real and authoritative

Property Owners Are Great
ly Dissatisfied With
the Increase.
CLARK THREAD MILLS lNSTANCED.
The Mills in Newark Assessed at
SSOO,0O0 and Those in Hud-
son at s6OO,OOO-1he
Raise Makes Them
100000.

The citizens of Kearny are somewhat
exercised just now concerning the 50 per
cent. increase which the County Board
for the Equalization of Taxes have put
upon the assessed valuations of real and
personal properties of the townsh ip.
There are some who go so far as to- in
innate that the bill the CLARKE Thread
Mill Company has against the county for
damages inflicted upon their works dur
ing the recent labor troubles is to be
made mp by fleeing the property owners
Of the township.
Whether The citizens will fight the
County Board in the courts cannot as yet
be definitely ascertained; but such a move
need not surprise any one. A committees
will wait upon the County Board next
Monday with a view to ascertaining why
such an increase has been rendered nec-
essary. On the result of the conference
will depend in a measure the probability
of fight in the courts.
Casual admissions. however, convey the
impression that properties In the town
ship are considerably undervalued. The
residents urge that the sum of nearly so :
600 which the township must pay as It's
proportionate share of the county taxes is
just so much money thrown awav. as but
little county money Is ever expended in
that section. They claim that it Is all
expended in the eastern section of the
county. Still, there are others who insist
that all the properties were fairly valued
by Assessor Ellis. and the Clark Thread
Mills are citeu as an example.
CLARK MILL VALUES.
The Clark Mills, in Newark. they urge.
are more valuable than works of the
Company In Kearny, and with all the
city advantages those in Newark are as
sessed at 100000. real and personal,
whereas these In Kearny with only the
advantages of township government
are assessed at $500, ,000 real and personal.
This they put forward as a striking ex-
ample OF the honesty of the Kearny as
sesssment.
The citizens, too, want to know why
Kearny which returns an increase in
valuations Of S453, $50 for the year. should
receive such treatment at the hands
of the County Board, while Har-
risoD, showing only net increase
of SCI, ,1e5 shou Id be so leniently
dealt with. Kearny, which they claim Is
'sgiit edged" in many respects. they
urge has always been noted for It's
prom ptness In payin its share of county
taxes, even when other townships were
in arrears. Las year Harrison gave some
$4,000 in bonds to pay its arrears OF
county tax.
