CYCLING FOR CHILDREN.
Great Care Should BE Taken That Injury
Does Not Result from 1t.

Great Care Should BE Taken That Injury
Does Not Result from 1t.
DR.. Z. B. Turner, in considering the
question whether young children be-
tween the ages, say. of six and twelve,
should be allowed to cycle, and if al
lowed how much they may indulge IN
the pastime without mourning the risk
Of injury, maintains that the subject IS
one on which no man can pronounce
dramatically or lay down strict and IN
variable rules concerning. What for
one small boy or girl might be merely
healthy and beneficial exercise, for an
other might mean physical ruin. But
while each case must be judged on lis
merits. one fundamental principle must
be clearly enunciated-namely, that no
Young child with any organic weakness,
whether Of heart, lungs, joints or nerv-
| Gus system, should be allowed to mount
a machine under any circumstance
whatever.
Setting aside such natural ~disqualif-
cations, the exercise of cycling, properly
regulated and adjusted to the capabilities
Of the individual, is unquestionably one
of the best forms of recreation that can
be partaken of by children of both sexes
at an early age. 1t develops the BODY,
and the self reliance and Our en-
tailed by the management Of a machine
tend to strengthen and enlarge the men
tai and intellectual faculties. A few
simple precautions, however, may insure
good and avert evil results. AS to the
age that a child should begin, for most
children six is quite early, and even for
some six is too early. Great care should
be taken in choosing and fitting a ma
chine to a young rider. An old, i'll fitting
crock may produce defOrmity or disease.
Two things that must be insisted on In
buying either a bicycle or a tricycle. for
a young rider are that the peak OF the
saddle should be two inches behind the
crank axle. and that the handles should
be so brought around and back that the
child can sit perfectly upright on the
machine. AS to the distance the child
may ride no absolute rule can be laid
down. OverexertiOn must be carefully
guarded against. and a sleepless night
and Il distaste for food is one of the indi-
cations that the system is poisoned by
the products of its own waste. 1t must
be remembered that excessive speed is
more injurious than excessive distance,
and excessive hill climbing than either.
The conclusion arrived at by DR.. Tur-
ner is that a sound child, six years old
properly fitted with a machine, and rid
ing in proper form and position, may
cycle within the limits Of moderation
and derive benefit and suffer no harm
from the exercise st. Louis Globe

so effectively that they have received the
well earned Communications Of the state
board Of agriculture, as will be seen by the
report OF its president.
The entire yearly expenses Of the board
have been SO, 1854, while the rules it has
laid down for the assessors and its watch
ful care in enforcing the same have caused
an increase in the list Of ratables returned
by the assessors in 1891 of S5l, $40, ,329 and
in 1852 Of "a, 81, ,66S.
The report Of the board contains certain
recommendations suggesting new legisla-
ton. | call the careful attention of your
body to the views as expressed therein, and
also TO those stated in the previous report
and which are referred to in my message Of
1892
The report will be presented to the legis-
lature under the provisions Of the act Great
ing the board
The main recommendations made by. the
board are as follows:
First-Compelling assessors to obey the
law by penalties Of removal and forfeiture
with increased pay of assessors in town
ships under 10000 inhabitants.
Secondly making uniform in all tax
ing districts the time for assessment, and
its completion, the collection Of taxes, and
lien on the property, and giving each tax
payer ample opportunity to see how the
assessments are made, for the purposes of
furnishing evidence for an appeal in case
of unjust taxation
Third-Redrafting the law covering ex-
emptions, and limiting the exemptions to
those founded upon good reasons and pub
lie policy
Fourth-Fixing tax rate which shall
not be exceeded in any taxing district.
Fifth-Requiring all assessments on
lands and improvements to be made sepa-
rately in municipalities
Sixth-Giving the state board Of taxation
power to increase individual assessments.
Seventh = Requiring all incorporated
companies in the state, on demand, to file
with the state board Of taxation a list Of
their shareholders, with the addresses, and
requiring the said corporations to pay the
tax on such shares as are held by non
residents of the state of New Jersey, thus
increasing the amount of tax derived from
invisible personal property.
Eighth-That there should be no deduc-
ton for individual debts, except from the
assessed value of personal property.
Taxable and Exempt Property in the state.
In connection with the subject Of taxa
ton, it is interesting to consider the value
of property in this state, and the extent of
exemptions under existing laws, and the
increase Of ratables since 1879, and the
wonderful increase during the past three
years. The total assessed valuation Of
property in the state subject to taxation is
as follows:

erty in 1882. 2.....-.............. s21s.eio,7S2 90

property in the state we must add to the

1Iunicipalities and Taxntion.

municipalities and Taxation.
/ renew the recommendations in refer
ence to this subject made by me in my mes
sage of 1892 Municipal taxation is the
heaviest burden imposed upon the tax
payer, and the legislature should endeavor
to find some method which will render it
impossible for extravaganza, incapacity or
fraud to impose unnecessary municipal
burdens upon the taxpayer. If it had not
been for the substantial Cd received by the
localities from the operation Of the railroad
tax act of 1884, certain municipalities
would have been in danger of financial EN-.
barrassment.
am still of the opinion, as stated in my
last message, that the only sure method Of
limiting this burden is to fix a rate beyond
which the local authorities cannot tax
property.
The aggregate local tax assessed for 1891,
as far as it could be ascertained from data
in the comptroller's office, amounted to
SIS, ,23S, 106.9S, of which about 3d. 900, ,000were
used for the payment of interest. The total
amount Of municipal floating and funded
debt for 1892, as far AS can be ascertained,
is $54, 160, ,960.15, an increase over last year
of $245. .159S4
This is first lien upon property in diff
ferent taxing districts 1t has increased to
this enormous figure under legislation
authorizing the issue Of bonds for public
improvements and other purposes. The
legislature cannot be too careful in the
passage of such laws; they should only be
enacted to meet an emergency where inn
perative public necessity demands immedi-
ate improvement, whose cost, if paid for
directly by taxation, would be oppressive
to the citizen.

State Tax on Railroads and Canals for Lo-
cal Uses.

The taxing districts OF the state have re-
ceived substantial aid from the operations
Of the railroad tax act of 1884 Under its
provisions certain taxes are collected by the
state for local uses and paid to the locali-
ties. The amounts thus received neces-
sarily reduce the sums required to be
raised by local assessments upon the rata
bles. The following table shows the az
gregate amounts paid for the following
years to the state and 10 the localities there
undar.

The details as g the companies paying
this tax, and the municipalities and coun-
ties among which this local tax has been
distributed, will be found in the comp
troller's report.
The amount Of tax on railroad and canal
corporations levied and collected under the
old law for the year 1884 was Si13, ,655. .4G.
This whole amount was used for state pur-
