Equal Taxation Commission
Listens to the Railroads
Side Of the Tax
Question.
NEW JERSEYS HIGH RATE
While Railroads Have the
Advantage of Valuation in
Some Cities They Pay
in Excess in Others
NEW JERSEYS HIGH RATE

During his argument yesterday before
e Equal Tax Commission Mr. William
a. Corbin, counsel for the Erie and the
= singh Valley Railroad companies and
their subordinate corporations said that
the two interests were, with one or two
exceptions, the largest interests paying
taxes in New Jersey. the Erie con-
tributing about $4,000 per year in
taxation. and the Lehigh Valley about
100000 per year.
The question before the Commission
was. in his judgment, much broader than
had been indicated by the argument of
Mr.. Record, who had confined his atfen-
tion almost solely. to pointing out parcels
Of property in Jersey City which he con-
sidered the State Board of Assessors had
undervalued. Mr.. Records statements
had appeared to be in the nature of an
appeal against the State Board of Asses
sors for alleged undervaluations.
Continuing Mr.. Corbin saidi:-The res
{ olution of the Legislature directed the
NQmmission TO investigate the whole
S. iect of assessment and taxation of the
property of the people of this State,
n personal and corporate, and report
at the next session of the Legislature" :"
There was no special mention of railroad
property or of the State Board of AS
SCISSORS: but the obvious purpose was to
Investigate all taxation of property. and
fhe Commissioners would come far short
Of what was intended if they should mar
row the scope Of tn inquiry, as indi-
Gated BY Mr.. Record contentious
The distinction between railroad prop
erty and other property was natural in
discussing the matter, because there are
two parallel systems of taxation in the
State: One administered by the State
Board of Assessors, who valued railroad
and canal property, and the other by the
Local Assessors, who valued all other
property. But there was no such distincs
ton as ought TO set one over against the
other-one as plaintiff and the other as
defendant, as appeared to be the ten
dency Of the discussion thus far. But
the whole subject should be investigated
with view to securing equal and just
contributions by all. The railroad COM
panies were not here in hostile attitude,
but rather with desire to assist the
Commission by presenting facts. They
were willing to bear tl1eir full share of
the burden of taxation, and believed that
they were doing so. Notwithstanding the
different methods by which the taxes to
be paid were arrived at.
The act of 1884, under which railroad
property was taxed. was the outcome of
long continued discussion and was one
of the most thoroughgoing. exact and
scientific measures for the listing and
taxing Of property ever devised. 1t se-
cured absolutely complete listing of all

GENERAL REGRET EXPRESSED


Just before the Board of Education
adjourned last night President Ward
sprang a surprise by announcing that
Director Julius Berger had sent in his
resignation Mr.. Ward expressed his
personal regret. He said he understood
that Mr.. Berger had fully determined
upon the matter, although the resignation
did not state when it was going to take
effect.
Mr.. Berger subsequently explained
/ that his resignation was III the hands Of
the Mayor and he understood that it
had been practically accepted. He said
that pressure of business alone led him
to send in his resignation, and that he
sent it with much regret it requiring
three months for him TO finally decide on
the matter.
President Ward alluded to the ..long
and honorable career Of Director Berger
as member ofsthe Board of Education,
he having served three terms under two
administrations. He asked the mem
bers as to how they desired to express
| their regret and then called upon Direc-
tor Lewis to voice the general feeling of
the Board
Mr.. Lewis said he was taken COM
pletely by surprise Il was not aware, Z
he said, that we were about to lose the
services of our esteemed fellow member
I regret it, exceedingly. The President
has already voiced the sentiment Of
every member of this Board Director
Berger has been a valuable member of
this Board for number of years. His
acquired experience has been helpful to
us all and the city has had the full value
of his experience, and such experience
cannot be acquired in a day or MONTH
goodbye with great deal of regret.
Our Board is happily constituted, the
members all having confidence in each
other. We have moved along very har-
moniously. We have had perplexing
problems to solve and have solved them
as best We knew how, without personal
chickering's. / move that it is the ex-
preston or sentiment of this Board that
we part with Mr. Berger with sincere
and deep regret, and wish for him the
utmost prosperity and happiness in this
life.''
ATr. Berger's third term was about to
expire, but it is understood that Mayor
Pagan, who is -desirous of keeping the
Board together would have rendered Mr..
Berger another term.
Mr.. Berger said he felt that he could
not do his full duty as a member Of the
Board without letting his business inter
ests suffer. He. Said his business and
family. come first-the city afterward-
He expressed the hope that he had done
some good

Nearly every newspaper tells
of some, wonderful cure of some form
of Kidney Disease by the Great
American Remedy, Dodd's Kidney
Pills, and this part Of Arkansas is
not without it's share Of evidence that
no case is too deeply rooted for
L odds Kidney Pills to cure.
Mr.. A. E. Garlic, well known and
highly respected here, tells OF his
cure after nearly quarter of a CEN
tury's suffering. Mr.. Garlic says:
81 want to let the public know
what l think of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
/ think they are the best remedy for
sick kidneys ever made.
81 had Kidney Trouble for % years
and never found anything that did me
so much good as Dodd's Kidney Pills.
l recommend them to all sufferers"
There is no uncertain sound about
Mr.. Carlile's statement. He knows
that Dodd's Kidney Pills rescued him
from life of suffering and he wants
the public to know it. Dodd's Kidney
Pills cure all Kidney ills from Back

Traps for Curiosity Hunters.

Many of the local curiosity shops
planted in the back streets of most
county and country towns are simply
kept up by large London firms, who,
from a prolonged study of human ma
ture, have discovered that people who
are shy of buying old furniture or old
silver in Bond street or Piccadilly are
ready and eager purchasers OF pre-
cisely the same objects, at a rather
higher price, when they come upon
them in the back streets of country
town.

Deep-level Mininu.

Great advance in deep level mining
is the result of the advance in engi-

three thousand feet was considered a
great depth, but this limit has been
much exceeded. At Flenu, Belgium
thirty-six hundred feet has been
touched, while at Calumet, Hecla, and
Tamarack, in the United States. mines
from forty-four hundred to fifty-four
hundred feet have been worked. The
temperature is the great thing to be
overcome.

Astronomers are not usually classed

often have to perform tasks requiring

such as observing comet or planet
for weeks, registering stars all night,
making observations in the most in
convenient attitudes, perhaps lying
fiat on the floor in an ice-cold atmos-
phere.
