BY Pres dent JONES'
Whereas, BY the operation of the exist
ing statute for the taxation of railroad
and canal property in this State the inter-
ests of Jersey City are prejudiced and its
legitimate revenue curtalled, while the
property of, the private ~Itizen is com.
PEELED to bear a disproportionate share OF
the expense of maintaining municipal
/ government; and
Whereas, These wrongs are caused by
the priyileged exemption of an immense
body of corporate property held by rail
road and canal companies from liability
for AVIATION for other than State purposes,
and the restriction of taxation for local
purposes upon any of said property to a
| rate of one per cent. annually: and
Whereas, The Constitution of New Jer-
sey, as amended in 1875, requires thai
property shall be assessed for taxes under
| general laws and by uniform rules" and
Whereas, Assembly Bill No.. 1,now pend.
ing in the Legislature Of this state. has
for its object the redress of the wrong
done in the premises to this city and tc
! numerous other municipalities of this
| State. by so changing the terms Of the
act for the taxation of railroad and cana
property as to conform the statute to the
Constitution, therefore
Resolved, That as the Board of Financs
/ Of Jersey City we hereby endorse SAID
