assessed high for local purposes, but
complained that 81 600 is expended on
Golden Gate Park each working day,
and that by claiming the waterfront

area OF 6.120 acres in Jersey City. 1850 were
owned by the railroads. and were thus exempt
from taxation for local purposes. In 1868.
the railroad acreage was but 4se. II the rail-
road property wa taxot at local rates it would
amount TO $500, 900 n year. Instead IL is but
$3.50 900. and Jersey City 10 thus compelled
to pay nearly $500. 900 annually TO the State
TO save the necessity for u State tax.
Mayor Wanser, who preceded Mr.. Edwards,
SAID the people OF Jersey City we're unanimous
ly In favor Of the bill. and II. ". Condit told
the committee that while the railroads own
one-third OF jersey City's realty. they pay only
ont.twelfth of the tax. or about $3.50. 600 an
nuany.. while the remainder pays 81. 400. 900.
