Quoted in painless manner. the cats being under

DISCRIMINATION AGAINST JERSEY CITY
HENRY CoNDICT SAYS THE RAILROADS SHOULD
PAY LOCAL. TAX RATES

PAY LOCAL TAX RATES.
Henry V. Condict Is addressing the Good Gov
eminent Clubs Of Hudson County on the subject 81
Equal Taxation" Mr.. Condict proposes that the
railroad companies should be compelled TO paw oca
tax rates
There Is" he says. "a great deal OF dscrimna-
ton against Jersey city. where there is rail-
road property than in any other part of the State
and 1t is increasing all the time. our ;e of 10
high. while in the country districts +; Is very
low Here property Is assessed 10 per cent OF what
1t is worth There is in Jersey City s55 10000 worth
of property about one-eighth Of That in the state
The railroads ought to pay one-half OF the State
tax. but they pay only about one-fourth. II the
rural districts were assessed are. would
only have TO pay one-siXteenth. We pay three
times much OF the state tax as we ought to.
and If the rural districts paid only Their share we
paid $4,000 more last year than should have
paid We should get this back The system Of hav
ing the railroads pay the State tax Is wrong. The
railroads should be assessed proportiona ely
throughout the State. We pay because of the large
amount of railroad property here. while other por-
tons Of the state pay nothing because they have no
railroads There are twenty-four townships that do
not pay one dollar The total value of property in
pay according 10 its valuation and railroads should
be taxed at the full local rate. Then we would
f hayd OF be a 2a on he RAILROADS on0 6
me railroads here we would have great manufac-
front and the best property, and do not pay ther
fair share OF taxes. The citizens of the State
shouiu ne ihdiGiaht In NeW-l oTk and Pennsyl-
vana railroads have to pay the same taxes in
the railroads only pay 10 cents
divIduals We pay tax Of 81 70 per hundred, and
The property owned by railroads in Jersey City
IS valued at between 600 and s5OoOOCoo gross.
This property. If taxed at the rate as other
property is taxed would have produced over 81 900
900 The railroad companies paid last year sos 900
leaving balance OF about $4,000 which had to be
borne by the other property. The rich and poor
who pay taxes in Jersey City have to contribute to
the railroads. Some years ago Washington, u. c..
near being bankrupted because the Govern
ment buildings were exempt from taxation but
Congress came to its aid and passed a law com
pelling the Government to pay local rates OF taxes
and now Washington is one OF the finest cities in
the world. IF Jersey city got her full snare from
the railroads she would not be in debt"
