Yesterdays MEETING.
When the Board of Equalization con-
vened. yesterday. President Clarke of
the Jersey City Board OF Tax Commfs-
sloners said that. although stnis board
had worked very hard. it had not been
able to complete the assessment. The
First and Second districts could not be
completed before Monday. he said, and
he asked for that delay to enable him to
make complete report
Commissioner Morgan opposed this. He
denounced the Tax Commissioners for
causing delay. He said that to grant the
delay now would completely destroy the
efficacy Of the County Board. for on
Monday the commissioners would sit to
hear appeals, and Ia consequence would
not have any time to examine tho assess
uients of the two uncompIeEed districts
President Van Reipen coincided
with Mr. Morgan and said
there was no excuse for any
delay on the part OF the Tax Commis-
sloners. They knew 1t 20 be their duty
do it in. but every year Jersey City's as
SCISSORS were behind with their reports.
1T seems TO me-" said Mr.. Morgan,
''that the assessors for Jersey City en-
deavOr TO prevent the board from exam
ining the work by always seeking delay"
YES" said President Van ksiDen,
''instead of examining property all the
year around, particularly iilroad prop
erty, the Jersey City assessors sit In their
office and make their assessments theieD
..That is TOO broad, Mr.. President" said
Assessor Clarke with show OF lndigna-
tion.n
s.No it isn't replied Mr.. Van Ripsn,
that is just what your board does."
The CON missoners then consented to
receive Mr. Clarksts report, allowing
him to approximate tho values of the
First and Secoud districts, but these dis
tricts must be in Nnext Monday com
pleted.
