[From the New York Tribune of
Yesterday
If Senator Voorhees, and the other
members of the Senate Investigating
Committee can find the time they should
accept the invitation of THE Jersey City
News" and enter upon a searching in
quiry into the affairs of the Hudson
County Board of Freehoiders. In sup
port of its suggestion to the committee

There is probably a fertile field for it
In this county If it will come down here.
Assuredly. it will cause great satisfaction
60 citizens of both parties whose sus-
picions are thoroughly aroused by the
state Of things existing in the Freehold
ers' Office.
1t will be remembered that this Board
was organized by a sort of non-partisan
combine which shared up the county
patronage in a very remarkable way. The
proceedings since the organization have
been no less remarkable. The business
has been conducted in such a funny way
that the public have no real idea of what
IS going on. The Board meetings disclose
nothing, and the meetings of the Com
mittee of the Whole are s~tar-chamber
affairs.
If the committee shall make a start on
this contract 1t is reasonably certain that
the discoveries will warrant any expedi-
ture Of time or money made. There is
no partisan end to be gained by an in
vestigation, because the Board is now
managed by a combination of Democrats
and Republicans, and exposure of wrong
doing will help the public and the tax
payers rather han any party.

TRENTON, June is, 1S97.-In the SUI
preme Court, Justice Garrison yesterday
filed an opinion reversing the Essex Cir
cult in the matter of Clarence scheihck
against the State. and setting aside a
Judgment for $500 given against Schenck.
In the Essex Court the suit was brought
in the name of the State Insurance Com
missioners for the recovery of the penalty
incurred by the defendant below by VIC
lating the insurance laws. The defend
ant negotiated a contract of fire insur-
ance and received the premium. The poll
icy was in the Metropolitan L1oyds Of
New York City. From the language of
the policy, it appears that the company
was made up of twenty individual inslar-
ers, ZACH of whom assumed an equal
share of the risk.
that there is no valid authority for in
ficting upon the agent of an Individual
insurer the penalty provided BY the sew
eral acts Of the Legislature upon which
sole reliance Is placed.
ut will be Observed the opinion states
that from the earliest period Of hi in
surance laws down to the present time,
the Legislatures viii has always been
expressed under a title that included
companies, associations and CORPORATIONS
but never individuals"
The proposition that the Legislature is
devoid Of right to prohibit the transslc-
ton OF the business of insurance by In
dividuals should not, the opinion states,
upon ms record be decided, "as It is
passed upon only when necessary to the
exposition OF an existing enactment"

LEMBEOK AVENUE OPENING.
G%reenvflIe Property Owners Disap-
pointed at b RefusAl Of rbAs Rosrd

The refusal of the Board OF Street and
Water Commissioners to consent to the
opening of Lembeck avenue, GreenviIle,
is a disappointment to- the property
owners in hat section, an of whom were
and are exceedingly anxious to have a
clear route from Old Bergen Road to the
Kill Won Kull.
The Commissioners reasonsfor denying
the application was that the city could
not afford the Improvement at present
and on the ground of economy they were
reluctantly obliged to refuse it. There is
no question that the money would be well
spent because it would add to the benefit
of the ward and make a suitable approach
to the new park. While some. property
owners take the news p-hilosophically
others do not, and one of them said this
morning.
There is little encouragement for any
mar to spend money in trying to i'm
rpove his neighborhood. Here I have
spent thousands over the district and
others have dom the same, yet our eff
forts go for naught. 1t Is very unfor-
tunate that the avenue is not to be
opened through. Bicyclists. have asked
for it and since Bayonne is Q to make
a bicycle path from the Canal crossing'the
Boulevard near the old pump at Avenue
A, this approach through Lembeck ave
nue. would be just the thing
The Commissioners have undoubtedly
a good ground for refusal, but will in all
probability take up the matter again
should they see their way clear.

THERE are only two ways by which
the tax rate can be kept down. One is
by reducing the total of the levy. We
have shown the difficulties attending that
process. Tit other is by Increasing the
assessment Of property. There are two
ways of making sue an increase, the
fake way, by taxing vacant lots and prop
erty on which the levy cannot be col
lected. The other is by placing it upon
the untaxed personally of the county and
rigidly enforcing the aw.
This part of the city's financial manage
ment does not fall upon the Financiers,
but upon the Tax Commissioners. They
have an important duty to perform this
year. They can make a great record for
themselves.

ASSESSORS BONES RATTLE
The State hoard FINDS Too sIany
Tax Dodgers In Ocean County.

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News.v1
TOMS RIVER, tune Is, 1S97.-There was
a rafting of dry bones among the
Ocean County Assessors when the State
Board met here yesterday, and intimated
that there would be a good deal more
than a rattle If Ocean county does not
toe the mark. The Board thinks there is
altogether toe much t~ax-dodging on the
it proposes to stir things up a bit. Yes
terday's meeting was held for the pur-
pose of hearing the appeal of the borough
of Lavallette, a beach hamlet of about
twenty houses, from the assessed valu-
alton fixed by the County Board. The
evidence showed that the borough AS
SCISSOR had the place taxed for really
more than the lots would bring, MAX
ing the valuation for 1886 49,, 772. The
Lavallette Assessor failed to appear at
the County Board sitting last Septem-
Der. and that body doubled the assess
ment on him..
After hearing the evidence the State
Board signified it's intention Of making
the assessment according to the Asses
sor's duplicate, or $s2,7 72. Mayor Charles
c. Erickson, Collector james Mccormick,
DIR. George Kerr, James MacQueen and
other Philadelphia business men who
lave their residence at Lavallette, gave
testimony, but the Assessor, Edwin s..
Haley, also of Philadelphia, did not APP
pear, and was scored by the State Board
for his absence, the citizens of the Dor
ough being advised to elect a new AS
SCISSOR next time.
After this matter was disposed of mem
bers of the State Board made the semi
official declaration that Ocean county's
assessors must do better. They said there
is ne reason whatever why Ocean county
should receive $1,000 each year from the
other counties to help make up It's school
fund, when 1t has half a dozen or more
m~illionaires residing in Its limits who
we're not being x for their personal
property. All the local assessors had
been notified to be present. but only two,
A. w. Downey, of Brick, and Emmor r.
Wills, of Union, appeared. These were
put upon the rack n questioned as to
the proportion existing between the ac-
tual value of property and the assessed
value-but, of course, they knew moth
ing about any other townships except
their own.
Where is that Lakewood ASSESSOR,
asked Major Carl Lentz, as he got
warmed up for work. HE is the man
we are after. We want to know how it
is that Lakewood township, with its mil
~lionaires, including George Gould, is only
assessed for $500, 900 personal property,
and why its total valuation does not any
more thar equal the cost of one of its
big. hotels. III say just here" he added,
Others of the Board, that this Lakewood
assessment has got to come up, We peo-

This Hallway Tax MONEY and she
Tex Rate.

The passage OF. the so-called Equal Tax
alton bill by the Legislature. rnis. year,
guaranteed the city an additional revenue
for the next fiscal year of about $4,000,
derived from a source other than taxation
Of private property. The State is to pay
that amount to the city out of the fund
which It collects from the railroads.
1t Will be remembered by city officials,
by members of the Legislature, and by
citizens generally. who interested Them
selves in the fight for this money, that
SPECIFIC engagements were made by the
city as to the use to which it should be
rut.
The legislators were not told that It was
to be applied to new municipal improve
ments; they were not told that it was to
be used for reduction of debt; they We're
not told that it was to be used for extern
zion Of the Fire Department. for the m
ployment of more policemen or Inc re-
adjustment of teachers salaries.
They were told that it was to be APP
piled to the reduction of the city tax
rate.
The Board of Finance has. within the
last week. addressed itself to the task of
preparing the budget for he fiscal year
1918. and it rests with it and with the
Mayor to see that the pledges, made to
the Legislature when the Equal Taxa
ton bill was passed. are made good.
Since the first year of Mayor Wanser's
administration the tax rate has remained
stationary at s27.40 on every thousand
dollars of valuation. to which figure he
and his administration reduced it. Now,
If the entire amount of s1i5. 900. secured
from the State. were applied to h pur-
pose. it would cause a reduction in the
rate Of from 60 to 70 cents on the thou
sand dollars. paking the rate for the
coming year from $3.50 to $3.50. The re-
ducticn would be a real one, too. n not
a mere reduction on paper. secured by
juggling with the tax books.
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1897-06-18

These are figures to cause the most
serious. reflection on the part of the
Mayor. the Finance Commissioners and
the taxpayers. OF course, the applica-
tons for increased allowance are made in
. perfunctory manner every year. Boards
get. It is a sort of bluff anne which
everyone understands. The more they
ask. the more they are likely to get, and
II they can screw their demands up high
enough. the pruning process will leave
their allowances about where they really
desire to have them. But this bluff theory
VIII not dispose OF Ell the $685. 1888 increase
In the estimates. There are some factors
which annot be got rid of in any way.
There IL the increase In the Fire De-
partment, for instance. This is due to the
abolition of the hosemen-at-call. and the
cvsation of full fire companies. Last
years salary allowance in this department
was $1a5,5eO. This year it is s1S2. 800. The
increase is SAG. 300. This is not so very far
from half Of the $4,000 won from the
stats and the railroads. Yet the Fire
Department wants another new engine
besides.
The Police Board demands FIVE new
patrclmen at 1900 each, and. under the
law, they must be allowed. Besides, they
are necessary.
The Board of Education asks for an In
crease Of only s72,9 l5 in its salary account.
Part Of this may be rejected by the Board
OF Finance as representing untimely In
creases In the pay of teachers. But a
large part of 1t goes to supply teachers
for the four new schools for which the
city has just bought and and which are
to be ready for upa about March,
1898. There IS no getting away from this
Increase. The four new schools viii re-
duire. at q very low estimate. ten teachers
apiece, and fhe salaries OF forty teachers
from principal down will average at least
$4,000.
The Board Of Street and Water Com
missioners put in a very inflated estimate.
They ask for sl7e,lo more than they were
allowed this year, Now, nothing thai
they ask for Is unreasonable. 10 q sense.
The cleaning Of the streets becomes more
expensive as more and more miles are
paved. The colINtion Of garbage In
crsasss n cost as population grows. The
