OPEN ASSESSMENT LISTS.
Tax Collectors Required to Sell Lands
On Which Taxes are In Arrears
Year.

The state board of taxation is call
ing attention to the fact that the last
legislature passed an act requiring tax
collectors OF ali municipalities in the
state to begin proceedings for the sale
of lands on which taxes for the pre-
ceding year are unpaid. The new law
becomes effective July /.
Under the old act it was necessary
municipal bodies to issue warrants for
for the sale of lands bearing delinquent
taxes, and the original owners had
twenty years in which to redeem the
lands SO Sold This made it unprofit-
able and risky for any one but the
municipal authorities to pay the tax
on the lands, and so secure them.
The new act makes radical change
and provides that persons buying the
land under the conditions mentioned
may proceed after two years to sue in
the court of chancery for settlement
or deed.
For several years past bills have
been presented in the legislature pro-
viding for the publication of the assess
ment list so as to enable the taxpayers
to compare their assessments with
others. The new act provides that
assessors must file copy Of the assess
mentS with the clerk of the munich
pality, and this list must be kept open
at all times for inspection by tax
payers.
Thomas B. Usher, secretary of the
state board of taxation, stated that it
is expected this provision will be the
means Of remedying inequalities, be-
cause, as a rule, under the old act,
assessors haye refused access to their
books and denied citizens the privilege
Of examining their assessments.

clared that nothing had been done in

the street committee.

ecuted to Moody Brothers, for the tax
title to a lot owned by them. A note

tion of taxes was ordered discounted.

ceiyed salary Of s40e per per year s;sr, and he

paid from the general funds of the
town and not from the school fund.

pension of the rules was adopted.
The committee appointed to have

The new National guard edict has
gone forth and for this years en-
campment at least, the 'canteen,,
will be eliminated from Sea Girt.
This has been decided upon by Bri-
gadier General Quincy ON. Gilmore
and he, through Assistant Adjutant-
General Frederick Gilkyson, has is
sued the following order:
During the coming encampment
of the organizations of this brigade,
the establishment OF the "canteen"
or places devoted solely to the issuing
of liquor, beer wines or other int0x-
acting drinks, is prohibited"
This order has been issued as the
result of the abuse of the custom OF
having a stock of thirst quenching
stuff at hand for the accommodation
of the officers and those who visit them
during the encampment.
