New Brunswick, Sept. 14.-The
County Board of Assessors completed
its work late yesterday afternoon with
the computing of the amount Of State
school tax and county tax to be raised
by the several townships. From this
the several cities, boroughs and town
ships will determine the local tax
rate after counting in the expenses
of running the governments of the
borough, cities or townships. 1.-THE
tax rate in this city will be $s.70, a
gain of five points over that of last
year. That Of Perth Am boF sz4u 10

last year, which was SLIT.
Assessor Fulton, of South Amboy,
still refused to announce the assess
ments made by him for his borough
at the afternoon session, he having
raised the point at the morning ses-
sion that he did not think the other
assessors had raised their rates in the
same proportion as he had in innk lug
up their assessments. Upon his still
refusing to give the board any fiGnres

the assessment of the borough of South

ships and making a fair increase

ing to the assessment for last year the
amount OF personal debt and exemp-
tion deductions made by that bor-
ough's assessor last year. This made
an increase of over $500. 600. 1t is
said this assessment as fixed Is still
below that made originally by Mr..
Fulton, which he holds too high in
comparison with the other assessments
announced yesterday.
For the first time in the history OF
the board every township showed an
increase and the total net valuation
taxable of property in the county
foots up to $34, ,647. $50. Last year the
total amount of taxable property in
the county as given at the board was
$32, 1908, 1872. The increase this year
amounts to 81, 738, 858.
Perth Amboy has an increase OF
1880, 600, which is nearly, $i0O, 600
more than that of any other township
in the county.

Eating

Discussing the British tendency to
eat a banana before its time, the Brit
ish Medical Journal says: Before they
are thoroughly matured they are apt
to be insipid in flavor and to
dyspepsia and other forms of intestinal
disturbance. They should not be eat
en- before the skin is blackened IN
places or when there is any reluctance
in the skin to separate from the pulp.
uousekeepers know how bananas Will
change In the purse of a single night
from a manifestly sound condition to
one in which the skin is blackened ana
the pulp soft and slightly discolored.
Now, children infinitely prefer these
last bananas to those hat are appar-
emily sounder, and it may well be that
in this instance the natural inclination

MONEY!.
The Time 1t Takes to Count n ME-
lion One Dollar Bilis.

rug .#- lion ono ookAhE
i. a number of newspaper correspond
ents in the national capital were dis
GUESSING treasury department affairs
and the amount of money handled pS
the officials when the question arose.
..uow long does it take for the women
experts in the treasury to count q mil
lion new one dollar notes, and how
long doe. it take to count q million old
one dollar notes This question was
taken to the treasurer, who authorized
one of his subordinates to prepare the
following memorandum:
AS to the time it will require to count
one million dollars, o are informed
that in handling new notes an expert
in this Office could count In Il day OF
eight hours about fifty thousand dol
lars. Of course this refers to notes or
the denomination of one dollar. IN
counting gold certificates of the de-
nomination of ten thousand dollars
each it would require but q short time
to count one million dollars.
At this rate twenty days would be
occupied in counting one million dollars
represented by notes Of the denomina-
ton of one dollar. However, 1T is hard
" possible that any one could keep up
to these figures for such n period. anu
it would be safe to add five days ana
say that one million PAPER dollars could
be counted in twenty-five days
OF silver dollars, forty thousand may
be counted in n day of eight hours,
which rate, if adhered to, would finish
the one million dollars in twenty-five
DAYS. but It would be we'll to add i've
days here for the same reason ana
make it thirty days for counting a mill
lion silver dollars.
In counting old notes the conditions
are much changed. There are i've dlf-
ferent kinds Of paper urrency-ge
certificates, silver certificates. United
States notes (greenbacks), treasury
notes Of 1890 and national bank notes.
Remittances Of mutilated currency
may contain all these different kinds OF
currency. They may not De assorted
properly by denominations and may be
badly mutilated. Where cases OF this
kind occur the count is tedious and
slow. but assuming that the currency
sent is in accordance with equation
an expert could on an average count
fifteen thousand dollar notes q lay.
This would require about seventy days
to count a million one dollar bills IN
old notes of various kinds of paper
currency.
