holders Today that the Claim
of SI5,0OO,OOO Was Entire

special 10 Inc Evening NEWS.
NEW BRUNSWICK, Aug. 30:-
Sensational statements were made
by Freeholder De Hart in regard to
Charles A. Bloomfield at meeting
of the Board of Freeholders this
morning, called for the purpose of
trying TO reach an agreement with
Sandford & Harris in the matter OF
their original contract for building
the Amboy bridge and to arrange for
the acceptance of the bridge upon its
completion. Director Fountain de-
clared that no action in that matter
could be taken until after the writ
issued a the instance of Mr.. Bloom
field is disposed of September II.
Freeholder De Hart, chairman Of
the committee appointed at the pre-
vious meeting to investigate Bloom
field S claim that he represented $ o.
100000 of capital, made a lengthy
speech. He replied to Bloomfield S
claim and said that he was sorry
that Bloomfield was not present to
hear him. He declared that the $15,-
100000 existed only on paper. He
said that Bloomfield had abused his
privilege when addressing the board.
He asserted that Bloomfield has not
paid any taxes in twenty years, al
though he secured the passage OF a
legislative bill for the power to build
steel spans. The company which
Bloomfield represents was declared
to be assessed only a few thousand
/ dollars. The Bloomfield homestead
on the Metuchen road near Fords
/ was alleged by De Hart to be asses
sed for only five or six thousand dol
4 lars. while he declared it to be worth
4 $4,000. De Hart said that Bloom
field has been buncoing the county
by not paying just taxes.
The speaker said that the Ostran-
der Fire Brick Company is assessed
for only $36,500; its capital being
/ $500, 900, with a mortgage Of $780,
O0O on il. He said he would leave
it to the board to figure out how
much the concern is worth. He said
/ that no assessment could be found
on the county books for the $780,
600 Bloomfield Clay Company, OF
which Bloomfield is part owner.
De Hart scored two New Bruins
wick newspapers with misrepresent-
ing him, and he denied that he dodg-
ed any questions at the Milltown
bridge hearing. He defied any man
to tell all he knew of any dishonest
acts in his life.
Lawyer II. B. Cook, who was re-
tanned by the committee to make Il
search of the records as to Bloom
fields property holdings, submitted
report certified by the county clerk,
which it was stated that from August
1, 1855 to August "a, 1905 Bloom
fields name does not appear once in
any real estate transaction. On Aug
ust 2S, Monday of this week Bloom
fields wife, Mary A. Bloomfield
transferred fifteen acres of salt
meadow land worth $4,000, to her
daughter for 81, and that the daugh-
ter then transferred the property to
her father for 81. The report fur
ther declared that there is an at
/ tachment against this property in
4 favor of Patrick White & Sons and
Judgment for $243.14 in favor of
Thomas Lingle, which has been a
lien on the property since 1898.

Tax Rate The Same.
1t is the belief of the assessors,
although they cannot prophesy in any
definite degree, that the city tax rate
this year will be very little, If any,
higher than last year.
The assessors have been a worl
since May 20, three months ago. They
encountered many obstacles in this
their first year which will not bother
them in the two remaining years
of their term, because of the eX-
perience gained.
They will submit their lists at New
