A QUESTION OF ROAD COSTS.
Commissioned Budd Raises an In-
terestfng Point for Freebolders.
Special to the Jerseu CIu Nears.

TRENTON, Nov. so. 1Ss6.-There Is
a dispute between State Road Com
missioner Henry I. Budd and the Mercer
County Board of Freeholders which is
OF great interest throughout the State.
Commissioners Budd proposes to withhold
his approval of the bill of Mercer county
for her one-third of the cost Of building
several macadamized r~oads-which the
State pays under the road laws-upon
the ground that the Freeholders did not
build the roads strictly in accordance
with the specifications provided by the
State law. Mr.. Budd does not say the
roads are not better than Others, but he
interprets the law TO mean thad a maead-
amized road shall only cost the State so
much per mile. The roads in dispute
cost Mercer county S135, 369.43. and the
States share of this, the Freeholders
claim, is s45, l23-14. Commissioner Budd
says the State will pay but So, $40. 53-one-
third of $1a3 Is. which he maintains
the roads would have cost had the county
authorities followed the specifications.
Exception Is taken to Mr.. Budd's strict
ures. and it is argued that he places a
forced construction on the specifications
and does not concede the County Engineer
and the Road Committee the latitude
which is held the wording of the specifica-
items permits.

JERSEY TAX PAYERS WOES.
The state Board TO Take q Month
Hearing Appeals.


TRENTON, Nov 30, 1ss6.-The State
Board of Taxation has mapped out
a programme for visiting all parts Of the
State next month, to hear the appeals of
Taxpayers, who claim that local assessors
nave not dome their work well. The
dates for South Jersey are. Monday, De-
cember I, Woodbury., Gloucester county.
an Stockton. Camden county; December
8, Salem; December 8, Bridgeton; Deem
Der 10. Cape May; December II, Atlantic
City.
Probably the NEST important case to
come before the Board is that to be heard
at Stockton, where an entirely new ques-
ton will come up for determination. The
property owners of Stockton and the tax
ing authorities have had many differences
since the creation of the State Board of
Taxation. The present appeal from the
local taxing authorities Is upon the right
of a county board or a district assessor
to relevy taxes. Several Stockton prop
erty owners declare that after they had
paid their taxes as fret assessed the
Camden authorities stepped in and in
creased the valuation and relevied the
taxes. The property owners refused to
pay the additional taxes and appeal to the
State Board.

REAL ESTATE news.
Van Houten Post to Erect q
New Building-Permits for
Other Structures.

The filing Of an application with Build
ing Inspector Kelly by G.. Van Houten
Post, No. 8, G. A r.. for permission to
erect a frame building on Belmont ave-
nue., directly opposite Monticello avenue,
reveals the fact that the veterans have
abandoned all hope of having quarters
in the new City Hall.
For years Van Houten Post has occu-
pied the top floor Of the old city Hall,
rent free. Other posts nave complained
that undue favoritism was shown the
Van Houten veterans. but no admins
tration has ever deemed 1t wise or neces-
sary to direct the post to Hacate. When
the new han was being built a move
ment was ~inaugurated to have room made
for Var Houten Post. The movement
met with official opposition owing to the
fact that other posts and orders of various
types maintained that they had as much
right to expect room in the new build
fns as Van Houten Post The Van Houten
vets made a hard but losing fight and
finally abandoned the project.
Since that time the members have been
working like beavers and they nave sue
ceeded in raising a considerable fund.

It is impossible to get further par
ticulars concerning the new post room

CHURCH GIVES THANKS.
DR.. Grant Tells the Tabernacle
People to Give Credit
Where 1t Belongs.

The Tabernacle Sunday School held its
regular Thanksgiving services yesterday
morning in place of the usual church
service. A number of Thanksgiving rec
Stations were given by the pupils of the
Sunday School. Misses Stella Jones and
Elsie Wells and Master Clarence Wells
recited. Misses Stella Jones. Jessie Miller
and Pearl Hoppler sang do Good to

and Superintendent Hunt read Thanks
giving poems. The children of the Home
for the Homeless and the Children's Home
were present and took part In the exer-
cises. The Children's Home children sang
a temperance hymn and recited a tenn
perance recitation. The children from the
other home recited a long psalm and
sang an action song, Little Builders"
In his prayer the Rev. J. Lester Wells
asked Gods blessing on the two churches
which have consolidated, the Tabernacle
and the South Bergen Reformed. Mr..
Hunt, in introducing DIR. Grant, who was
alluded to the song Little Builders just
sung by the Home for the Homeless, and
said DR.. Grant had for years been build
ing a church which he now had to leave.
He hoped the good seed sown by DR..
Grant would not be wasted.
DR.. Grant said: There is one line in
the psalm our little friends recited to- us
that I would like you children to take
ehome with you. 1t is Il will bless the
Lord always" In all the trouble that /
and my people have been passing through
we have been able to say that, and rea-
lie that all is for the best. There is
more honor in sowing the seed than IN
reaping It." DR.. Grant then told the story
OF Hezekiah, and how after the Lord had
only Of the material blessings. Instead of
telling visitors what the Lord had done
he showed them o his city and told
of his Notifications. DIR. Grant urged the
necessity of giving God the credit for
nothing can be done without his aid. He
said when you show visitors about your
city, don't tell them of what you have
accomplished, don't take credit to your
self for la has been done, give. it
where it belongs, to God. and say when
you do it, I will bless the Lord always "
The Tabernacle people understood this
as being a reference TO the recent CON
solicitation of the Tabernacle a the

rho Gold Reserve ana the Dencit.

Recent developments in the Treasury
Department prove that the fluctuations in

nue. are wholly independent of each
other and are presumably controlled by
totally different causes. In spite of the
deficit, which has not ceased to grow,
gold as been pouring into the govern
ment vaults. On Saturday the total of
the reserve reached $3.50. 00O, 900, and it is
believed by many that the movement has
