Hudson Tar Valuations.

In accordance with a resolution of
the North Bergen Township Commit
tee, Chairman Charles Pinnell has
prepared a table showing the varia-
ton of the valuation of real and per
sonal property for the purposes of
taxation between the years 1874 and
1889 of the property of Hudson Coun-
ty and Of the State at large. The re-
suit is somewhat startling.
In the first place, it appears that
while the valuation of Hudson
county property has increased dur
ing these fifteen years $50, 762, 165, the
entire valuation of the property Of
the State has decreased 1858, 1925
Figures of this description come in
the nature of a revelation. 1t is the
practice to abuse Hudson. to accuse it
of every form of jugglery and dis
honesty. But these figures, if they
are authentic-and we see no reason
to question them-show that at least
in the matter of valuation for taxing,
Hudson is by far the honestest county
in the State.
II the figures were to be accepted as
indicating the true tendency of values,
we should conclude that the property
of the State outside of Hudson county
had deprecated in value $21, 700, 600,
an unblushing fraud on its face. No
sane man can doubt that if the value
of property in Hudson has increased
nearly twenty-one millions Of dollars,
the increase in the rest of the State
must have been over fifty millions,
and the tax values have been kept
down simply by false swearing and
dishonest ofieialism.
fIn the fifteen years, Essex county
has diminished its valuation of reaI
and personal property S959, 600. Is
this the honest fact or is it a mOn-
strous fraud? Can anyone be found
who will believe that Essex vas
poorer in 1889 than in 1874? Is it not
a fact that she was at least twenty
millions richer2 But then Essex was
always the banner county for taA
frauds.

crime as yet, but only few state wit

that others have been implicated in the
the crime. The sentiment here is growing
