GETTING TAXATION VALUES
Tax Com missiOners Have Sug.
gested New Questions to Asccr-
tain True Value of Property.

The state board of tax commis-
sioners has inserted new questions
in the blanks that officials are now
receiving from Secretary Of State
Stearns for annual reports required
by law to be made during the
months OF January or February.
Heretofore these reports have not
been OF much value to anyone desir-
Gus of ascertaining the actual value
of the property Of the corporations,
but the new blank calls for informa-
tion that will make clear and com
plete exposition OF this important
phase of the situation.
About all that used to be asked 10
this regard was the amount of the
original investment, but as in
numerous cases there had been adj
ditional investments from time to
time, it will be seen that the reports
did not give the assessor much in
formation of aid to him in fixing the
value of the property.
The changes have been made at
the suggestion of the state tax com
mission, and are designed to reveal
the true cash. value of the property
for the purpose OF taxation. The
questions which u majority of the
directors of each corporation doing
business in the state will be required
to answer under oath this year are
as follows
|. The business in which the cor
poration has been engaged in during
the year ended December 81, 1892,
has been Of the following character:
(Statc specific line Of business IN
which the corporation has been cn-
gagged. If manufacturing, liuc Of
articles produced; if mercantile,
line Of goods handled)
2, The place or places at which
the operation of said company has
been conducted are as follows: Clown
or city aud county.)
}. Has the corporation during
said period been engaged in any line
of business not specified in it's ~
ticles of association If SO, what?
4. The amount OF capital stock
.. The amount of capital actually
paid in.
q. The amount invested in real
estate.
1. The actual cash value OF The
real estate held by said corporation
s. Is the real, estate held by said
corporation subject to mortgage in
whole or in part? And If so, give
the liability Of said corporation On
real estate mortgages.
o. The actual cash value Of per
sonal estate Gncludiug credits) hc!G
by said corporation.
10 The total liability Of said cor
poration upon chattel mortgages.
IL. The total indebtedness Of said
corporation secured and unsecured
r. The total amount of credits
owned by said corporation.
-. The actual cash value of The
credits owned by said corporation
u The amount for which mem
bers of the corporation are indor,cra
for the corporation.
ID. The amount for which the
corporation is indorser for members
of the corporation.

SENATOR JOHNSON NOT AcaNDIuATE
Denies That He VIII Try to BE
Nominated for Governor.

Senator William NJ. Johnson, Acting
Governor of New Jersey during the alb
sence of Governor Voorhees, In Europe,
said yesterday that. notwithstanding the
repeated assertions to the contrary, his
decision not to be a candidate for the
Republican nomination for Governor next
year was final. AS far as he knew, he
said. there were only two Republican
candidates for Governor in sight, and
they are Franklin Murphy, of Essex
county, and Senator Mahlon Pitney of
Morris county. From his opportunities
for observation, Senator Johnson thought
Mr.. murphy was in the lead and that
the indications pointed to his nomination.
Speaking of the current runors that
Col. Sheffield Phelps would be candidate
for the Republican nomination for Con-
gress in the Fifth District against James
r, Stewart, the present incumbent. Sena-
tor Johnson said that he thought that
these rumors We're without foundation.
and that so far as he knew, Colonel
Phelps had not expressed any intention of
being contestant for the nomination this
year. Later on it is probable that Colonel
Phelps may endeavor to obtain the nomi-
nation.

; HELMETTA, June 9, 19O0-One hundred
and forty-four revenue stamps and
stroke of the pen transferred the entire
town OF Helmetta to trust Thursday.
Snuff was the foundation OF the town.
and with snuff it's destinies will continue.
Twenty-Five years ago the George w.
Helme Company started in to make snuff.
It made good snuff and prospered. The
Helme family owned the tract OF land
whereon its factory stood. and town
was laid out and named after Eta HeIme.
daughter of the house, now Mrs. John
W. Herbert. By the simple process OF
adding her first name to her last the
euphonistic name of Helmetta was pro-
dueed.
The Helrnes, as their trade increased,
laid out streets and built houses for their
worknen. Nearly every inhabitant in the
place worked in the snuff mill, they were
happy and prosperous, and withal the
business grew to grand proportions. Time
and again outsiders tried to buy the
property, but the Helmes felt that their
prosperity and happiness were in the
works and they steadfastly refused all
offers.
Some time ago the Continental Tobacco
Company and the American Tobacco
Company besought the Helmes to join
in the trust. But the Helmes declined
Their business was able to grind out
profits notwithstanding that they were
in competition with the entire field, and
they made up their minds to hold on.
The American Snuff Trust, however.
made bigger offer. 1t kept adding to
this year after year. and a few weeks
ago it's success came. The Helmes count
ed up profits, found they were enormously
wealthy, and being tired OF continual
work in one place at one trade, decided
to accept the trusts offer.
The deeds were signed and recorded in
the County Clerks office in New Bruns-
wick Thursday. The deed sets forth that
the amount of the consideration is 81.
but the revenue stamps tell another story.
BY law it is required to put one 81 stamp
for each $1,000 value to the deed recorded.

FILLING TN THE LAND
Work of Connecting This City
and Waverly Now Under
Way.
FILLING IN THE LAND

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
having received from the United States
Government permission to build piers be-
yond the line as previously granted, have
already made contracts to begin their
work. This work will be begun at Green
vile, where the company will fill in on
the land owned by it to the north of the
lands under water owned by the Morris &
Cummings Dredging Company. Up to the
solid filing line now extended the com
pany will ship filling to make a big
freight yard. To the exterior line two
miles and half of piers will be built
To connect these, through the property
owned by the company in Greenville, with
the line at Waverly, will mean an enor-
nous amount of work, all of which has
; been arranged and is in that shape that
when the order goes out it will begin at
both ends.
A rumor has been f1oated that from
the piers regular communication will be
made with piers on Long Island, the
railroad of which is now in the possession
of the P. R. R. The idea is that big
freight piers will be built in Gowanus
Creek. thus making connection with
the island railroad and the terminal here.
Austin Corbin's scheme, conceived few
years before his death, to convert Mon
tauk Point, L. l., into a receiving sta
ton for passengers and freight from
ocean liners, is to be carried out, and
already the company's agents are buying
up lands at the eastern end of the island
for that purpose.
An interesting rumor was made pub
lie today concerning the P. R. RS plans
on Long Island by one who speaks with
authority in this city. He stated it
thus
"Are you aware that all along the
coast in Florida there are huge hotels
and that these places are all in control
of the big railroad which runs down that
section of the country? I tell you that
the company owns everything in sight
there, and I know that the P. R. R. will
do the same on Long Island, which is
an ideal place for summer resorts. Big
hotels are to go up there just as at Man
haitian Beach, and these will be directly
connected by the railroad leading from
big towns in the East and South. =

NEW HIGH SCHOOL PROBLEM
Finance Board Will Soon Take
Up the Vexed Questions of
Funds and Sites.

The question of new High School, like
Banquo's ghost, won't be downed. Mayor
Hoos discussed it with Mr. John Mullins
of the Finance Board this morning.
This involves two problems for the
Finance Board to solve: where is the
money to come from and where is the
best site? Both will be tackled after the
Board has made up its budget, asst will
then be in a position to know how much
there is left in the treasury after the
necessary appropriations for the several
boards have been made up.
On the matter of sites there seems to
prevail a leaning towards that on the
Boulevard known as the Van Reypen
property, which would, it is urged, make
very desirable place on which to erect
the school. Some favor the Harrison
estate and others the Beach & Bray prop
erty, but as Commissioner Mullins tersely
put it,

we come to it,

MORE CENSUS FUN.
Enumerators Still Enjoy Ask
ing Wonlen's Ages.

How would you like me to go back
| two hundred years to give you some in
formation" asked a robust woman on
Mercer street, yesterday morning of an
enumerator, when the latter had inquired
| regarding the womans parents.
do you imagine that there is any par
ticular pleasure for me in standing here
in the sun asking unnecessary questions?"
replied the agent.
We'll, I've read lots about these things
and wish to know what it's all about"
OF course the affable young man procede-
ed TO inform her about all the details,
even quoting law to her.
Who writes all these stories about the
women?" asked another woman. The
enumerator replied that he did not know.
We'll, who ever he is, he's real mean
anyhow"
Another woman expressedherself as be-
ing very much pleased with her groups OF
children, ten in all, and predicted great
futures for them.
The wife of a prominent doctor on
Wayne street this morning refused TO
give her name and rushed off upstairs
when the enumerat0r questioned her.
The agent left a schedule to be filled out
by her husband.
The enumerator encountered woman
who had twelve boarders in her house
and much amusement followed when she
was questioned. Ahe found professions for
every one of them, knew their eyes like a
book, and could rattle off the places of
their birth as though she were the mother
of the lot.
You seem to have the information pat,
said the agent.
We'll, you bet I have" said she in re-
turn. Il know all that the first day they
are with me-
rs his wife older than he,'' asked the
enumerator of colored servant on Mer-
Ger street, when inquiring about the age
of a married woman.
'Of course not, chile" she replied. 81
knows dat she is de youngest of de two,
cause was wild her in Maryland when
she was married and 1 have been here
ever since.'
The same person wanted to know if the
enumerator was married, because he look
ed so, having worried expression on his
face. The agent explained that the hard
looks were formed through attempting to
figure out how the census work was to DE
done perfectly.
Good neaYenS! exclaimed the Vile Oh
another doctor, really those are imper-
tInent questions to ask LADY, when shs
was questioned regarding her age and how
long she had been married. She was told
that no one would ever know the details
except the government, and that she was
perfectly free to confide in the agent.
That pleased her and she spoke freely
from then until the work was finished in
that house. Mr. Weasteii says that the
work is going along nicely and that no
trouble is anticipated in comparing sched
ules of the names.
