Common Council on last Thursday night was
devoted to tho revision Of tho book Of Assessors
Thomas A. Meyer and ". v. Leroy, and to the

test against the assessment, and left me Coun-
Gil chamber in a huGf. before action by tho
board.
In former years the borough assessors placed
no valuation on tho strip of land known as the

was that tho strip was not included In the IN,

JERSEYS PEACH CROP LIVES.
At Least $500. 900 Baskets Expected from
-Four Counties.

EouE NOuntIets
FLEMlNGToN. n. j., Aug. From many con-
ficting stories published concerning the peach
crop in Hunterdon, Warren, Sussex, and Somer-
set counties. the outside world may conclude
that the peach crop in New Jersey is a failure.
First 1t was reported that early frosts had ruined
the crop; later, that the fruit was not maturing
properly, and a few days ago the alarming news
was spread that q hailstorm had visited the
Peach-growing district and pelted tho fruit from
the trees.
Now, the people grow peaches in other parts of
the world, but IT is from the orchards of Hunter
don, Warren, Sussex, and Somerset counties
that the rosiest and most luscious peaches are
marketed. Therefore the peach crop hereabout
have made diligent inquiries Throughout the
peach belt with gratifying results. Conserva-
tive estimates place the crop in Hunterdon this
year at 10000 to 100000 baskets. Warren
probably will equal Huuterdon. and Essex and
Somerset Will give 500, 900 each. The hail dam.
aged only a lew orchards in the vicinity of
Whitehousea and Paramount.
