Man From Camden the Star

''The New Jersey Mayors Equal Tax
alton League was yesterday permanent
" effected at Mayor Fagan's Office in
the City Hall. In addition to the
mayors who We're present at the prelim-
mary meeting Of week ago Mayor
Beleher, of Paterson, Mayor Groth, of
Union Hill, Mayor Berger of Wee
hawken. Mayor Nolan of West Hoboken
and even Mayor Nowry, all the way
from Camden, and others were present
yesterday. Mayor Nowry made quite
speech and showed himself thoroughly
in accord with the objects of the organi-
zation, as did also Mayor Belcher of
Paterson.
The permanent officers elected were:
Mayor ~Fagan. president; Mayor Ryan,
Of Elizabeth, first vice-president; Mayor
Nowry Of Camden, second vice-president;
Mayor Belcher of Paterson. third vice
president. Mayor Fagan's private sec
retary, Joseph O'Connor, was made per-
manent secretary.
The president later on appointed the
following executive committee :--Nowry
Of Camden, Brady Of Bayoune, BeIchcr
of Paterson, Doremus of Newark, Lam
kering of Hoboken and Ryan of Eliza
beth.
One of the objects of the League, as
set forth in the adopted report of the
committee on permanent organization
appointed at the preliminary meeting and
submitted yesterday by Mayor Kenny
of East Newark, is the securing Of
equal taxation of all property in the
State in order that the burden of all tax
payers may be equalized, so that all
property may be required to pay the
same tax for the same protection afford
ed, and for the same benefits received,
and for such other purposes as may be
deemed to be advantageous and beneficial
for the municipalities of this State"
The organization is to carry on cam
paign of education by arranging for and
conducting under its auspices public mass
meeting and otherwise arranging for pub
lie discussion and the circulation of liter
ature bearing upon the subject of equal
taxation.
The president was yesterday empow-
cred to appoint committee Of six
three Democrats and three Republicans
who, in case the equal taxation bills
now pending befor the Legislature fail
of passage (and it is generally conceded
that no relief in the matter is expected
at the hands Of the present Legislature)
shall endeavor to secure an equal taxa
tion plank in the platforms adopted by
the next Republican, Democratic and
other political State conventions, and to
secure the endorsement Of the measure
by candidates of all parties and their
support to bill similar to those now
pending.
The executive committee viii arrange
for the business Of every meeting.

Dermott Saloon Gases Deferred.
The Excise Board met last night but
took no action whatever in relation to
the charges against the character of the

Nor was the subject of the license ap-
piled for By Dennis T. Stapleton (agent.
for the Feigenspan Brewing Company
Of Newark to run a saloon at Second

against the granting Of this latter appli-
cation that the local Liquor Dealers As

ground that it was one of number Of
cases where foreign brewing company

for holding local mass meeting.
Secretary O'Connor was instructed to

pality in the county in the state and in
yite all of them to join the League
Mayor Fagan for the committee APP
pointed to go to Trenton Monday night
reported that the answers of the members
of the Committee on Railroads and Cam
ais as to when they would report the
present bills were very unsatisfactory
He said Assemblymen Fielder and Ham
i'll promised to ask that the Committee
be relieved of further consideration of the
bill. The Mayor said he had no doubt
this had been already done.
Mayor Berger, of Weehawken wanted
to know why the present Legislature
would not pass the present bill. He did
not see why the committee should NOM
key with it. He asked if the Railroads
controlled the Legislature.
Mayor Pagan replied that that might
be a difficult thing for him to prove, but
that he had very decided opinions of his
own on the subject.
Mayor Kenny of East Newark said
that perhaps the railroad agents had pre-
sentel stronger arguments than those
favoring the equal taxation movement.
.'But they haven't advanced any argu-
ments, said Mayor Groth of Union Hill
mo. They don't want argument
What we've got to do is to fight, go
around and talk with everybody and
arouse public sentiment on the subject ?
said Mayor Pagan.
Mayor Nowry of Camden, who was
the star speaker at the meeting declared
that by so doing within a year no polit-
icai party will dare oppose the measure
He read off several questions which had
been propounded by the Camden munic-
ipal assessors of the bipartisan State
Board of Assessors and said no answer
could be secured. These questions were:
How much. if any. is the tax rate laid
by the State beyond the one per cent.
shown in the State Roard's report
How much land is assessed by the
State Board (caIled in the report main
stem and how aoes the State Board de-
termine what constitutes the main stem
in Railroad yard. !"
Mayor Nowry said the State Board re-
fused TO send to the Camden assessors
maps of what the State Board does as
sess.
The above question provoked much in
terest and some discussion. The league
adjourned to meet next Wednesday af-
ternoon at four o'clock Mayor Fagan's
office.
