The Boulevard Is in Darkness Most

The boulevard, ever when the lights are
in perfect order, is not lighted nearly
enough. but when the lights are all out it
is as dark as dangerous. For three
nights past not a light has been visible
on the Boulevard, from Fifty-first street,
Bayonne, to Bergen Point. The 0 is
black, and objects are not visible more
than a few feet in front of a bicycle
rider IL this darkness.
The distance of the road that has not
been lighted is over four miles, and many
cyclists are afraid to ride on the unlight-

STATE BOARD CRITICIZED.
Passaic County Grand Inquest
Brings in a Presentment as a
Result of a Unequal
Assessments.

Especial to "The Jersey City News."1
PATTERSON, June 25, 18ss.-The Passaio
County Grand Jury came into court be-
fore Judge Barkalow late yesterday after
noon with a presentment against the
State Board of Taxation, all the assessors
in the city of Passaic and the townships
of Manchester and Acquackanonk and
against the assessor for the First and
Seconds wards of Paterson There were
also indictments against thirteen members
of the Board of Freehohers of 1856 for
voting to award a contract to Keepers &
Thatcher for the construction ofsa bridge
over the Passaic River at West street.
The presentment against the assessors
is the outcome of an agitation by the
State Board of Taxation to compel local
assessors to assess property at its full
market value. Passaic and Bergen coun-
ties We're selected as the localities n
which to begin these reforms. 1t was
proved by the State Board that in many
instances property was assessed at ten
per cent. of its market value These as
m were found principally in the
rural districts. The city of Paterson has
for years claimed to have paid more than
its just share of the county tax because
of the inequalities in taxation. The pre-
sentiment read in court says
THAT the city of Paterson has borne
more than its just share of the burden OF
taxation, due, as we believe, to gross UNI
dervaluations in the city of Passaic and
in the townships of Manchester and Ac-
q-uaekanonk, and also in Individual in
stances in the First and Second wards of
the city of Paterson, which must be evil
dent to the assessors themselves if they
regard their oath Of office and are not
too indo1ent to Investigate or too ignorant
to ascertain the facts. Such u~ndervalua-
ton breeds all sorts of inequalities and
all manner Of injustice to the public at
! large, and also to the individual tax
payers.
sFurther, we find that while the State
| Board Of Taxation has assume an eager
( ness to nave the assessments brought up
to what they regard as a full and fair
| valuation, no record or instance of any
| such action has been found on the part
of the said State Board, but, on the con-
trary, we find that in every case brought
to their attention the assessments COM
planned Of nave either been lowered or al
| lowed to remain as they were, notwith-
standing the State Board Of Taxation's
undisputed authority to raise as well as
| lower valuation where the evidence IL
conclusive.
1T is proper to say that the local Off
| cials, or some of them at least, have at
tempted to justify their conduct by the
fact that their Judgment has sometimes
been overridden and their assessments
| sometimes reduced by the said State
Board"
The indictments against the Freehold
ers nave not been made public.
