While the above statement that the
State school tax is only CSC and the
County 32c is true, some have never
seen any difference in their tax bills,
from when the State school tax was 32c
and the County Csc. When the de-.
rease was made in the State school
money to be assessed on Salem county
the Board of Freeholders increased the
AMOUNT raised for County expenses to
the amount of decrease made in the
State school fund, so that the two rates
combined amount to the same. While
these changes have been made yet the
column in your tax bills show no diff
ference in the rate. The assesSors,
make the rate for both State school tax
and County tax 30c, which saves
much labor. While it does not show
each taxpayer what lie pays to support
the Schools and County, yet there is
not more than one in 500 who look into
the matter and for this reason it is hard
to convince some of the reduction in
School tax made in Salem county be.

milk, which fluid will instantly turn green.
The stone is then cleansed and is ready for
