culiarly sad. The loss is greatly felt by
his family, following SO soon that of his
mother, who died less than a year ago.
He was a member of the M. E. Sunday

The State Board of Taxation has SUBJ
mitted to the Governor their annual
report. The report shows the taxable
property in New Jersey to be as follows.
Real estate and personal property,
$812 GIG 24S; railroad and canal property,
1920, S69 $40; amount of property exempt
from taxation under different laws.
sSS. 1872 $50.
The Board made a number of recon-
mendations, the principal ones being
That. the Board be empo wered to remove
local assessors who do not comply with
the constitutional provisions that
property shall be assessed at its true
value. Under existing conditions
property is assessed at a certain percent
age of its true value. which percentage
varies in different counties. They also
favor the adjustment of the exemptions
now allowed to veterans in the late war,
to firemen and members of the National
Guard. These exemptions amount to
about $40, 600 900 in assessed valuation,
The third recommendation favors a
change in the method of taxing bank
stock. Two propositions were sub.
mitted, one that the stock be assessed in
the locality where the bank is situated
and the other that the bank officers
furnish the State Board of Taxation with
a list OF stockholders, their residence and
amount OF stock held by each, 10 order
that ibis inlormation may be sent out by
the State Board to the local assessors,
and the present evasion OF tax ON baph
stock be frustrated.

excellent reputation that they have estab-
lished for themselves in this city. A fair
sized audience went 10 the Seattle the
alter last night 10 witness one of Hoyts
farce-comedies given with a Hoytian en-
thusiasm. but in this they were disap-
pointed. and "A Bunch of Keys, went
with less vim and with less appreciation
of Its possibilities than might have been
expected after witnessing the opening
piece. The same clever people who par
ticipated I'm "A Nutmeg Match" were
given opportunity in "A Bunch OF Keys"
but their Interpretation of the latter piece
lacked that familiarity with both lines
and business that is associated With Hoyt's
productions. The piece is evidently new
TO Mr.. Dailey's company. and II is possible
that a longer acquaintance with ii will
enable the really capable people he has
