KEsCfNDED THEIR ACTION
Commissioners Change Vote to Remit Back
Tax on the Y. NJ C. A. Building

The county commissioners yesterday
fescinded their vote 10 remit 5000 OF
back tax upon the Y. VI. c. A building
II this city. Il appears that the mort
gage company took the building for the
debt against il with the understanding
that all back tax due should be paid by
the Y NJ. c. A. organization. or Ar least
the mortgage company should not be
held responsible for the amount.
An attempt was made 70 have the tax
RENTED on the ground that the Y. N.
c. A was a religious organization and
IT'S property exempt according TO
law.
When the matter came up Sealock
moved 70 remit the tax and was sec
onded by Harmon. Wilson voted
against IT. After booking up the matter
yesterday Mr.. Sealock moved TO recon-
slider the action OF the board and was
s=conied by Wilson. Mr.. Harmon vot-
ing IN The negative. Mr.. Wilson is Of
the opinion that the properly is not ex-
empt because most Of the building IS
used FOR business purposes. The board.
however. will remit the debt il satisfied
that il can be done legally.

There were probably thirty people up
from the vicinity o. Bayaeville TO learn

that o,i Mr.. Scott mad ted a scandalous
tale Of young Scott's wife. Walters had

The Bayneville crowd seemed much

Mr.. Scott seemed perfectly cool yes
