FAGAN's WORK
State Board Of Taxation Will
Hear Property Owners
Appeals in This City
ORPHAN HOMES PROTEST
Mayor win Make a Desperate
Effort to Have His valu-
ations Upheld
ORPHAN HOMES PROTEST

The State Board of Taxation will
meet at the City Hall, Friday morning,
january 1e. 1T ten o'clock.
Several apIseals have been scheduled
for hearing. The majority of property
pwnerswho believe they have grievances
aga insffhe local taxing department arc
appealing from assessments levied in
1901.
The estate Of. William Gaul appeals
from an assessment Of $500 on q lot
and, dilapidated house at No. 13T Pa
Nonia avenue, and asks for reduction to
81 SOC.
George Ellington, who was assessed
S10,600 on property at Nos. So, IS, 80,
92 and. 81 Kearney avenue, does not
ask for any specific reduction. He leaves
that to the judgment of the board.
ORPHANS HOME TAXED.
The Christian Home for Orphan Chill
dren asks for exemption on the grounds
that it is charitable institution. An
assessment of $4,000 was levied against
the home building at Magnolia avenue
and the Hudson Boulevard. which was
formerly used as an hospital
Annie NJ. Williams. who was assessed
$22 900 on a building at No, 1913 Newark
avenue, requests a reduction to $4,000
The assessment was levied in 1902 by
the Board Of Fiddlers. The city will
make a. desperate effort to prevent re-
dretion of. the valuation because the ap-
peal is looked upon more or less as a
test case of the assessments levied in the
dry goods district. Other property own
ers on Newark avenue will proba bly, APP
peal if Mrs. Williams is successful in her
fight for lower assessment.
CURRIE ESTATE APPEALS.
: The estate Of William Currie appeals
from an assessed valuatio of $7,TT5 on
several pieces of property in the Green
vile section The Commissioners will
be asked to assess the land at its true
value
Eugene Sullivan objects to an assess
ment of $500 levied against No. 206
Fourth street and petitions for a reduc-
ton of $500.
Bernard Levine, Jr., owner Of Nos.
2s9 to 81 Arlington avenue. and No. 33
to 81 Union street asks that the valua-
ton of $2S00o levied in 1902 be cut
down to $25,600, the figures of 1903.

honest for organization 10 boldly call itself a
Jewish ethical society when II teaches the moral
code OF Judaism than TO give II the nondescr1pt
The lecturer contended that they were compelled
teachings of Jesus and the prophets were not
ethically perfect and because they do not supply
a justification for secession, for Judaism breaches
