BIG GROWTH
IN RATABLES.
Total Increase in Assessed
Valuation Throughout This
State is S6OO,OOO, 600.

The announcements made during
the past fortnight by many county
and local assessment boards through
out New Jersey of the assessed valu-
ations for the current year indicate
that the total of ratables in the state
will be between $1,70O,0 10000 and
$500, 100000, a gain of in the
neighborhood of 5000, 100000 over
last year. Few states, save probably
some western states in the grip of a
wholly abnormal boom period can
point to anything like this percentage
of increase.
The earliest figures to come in
from the larger cities, showing an
increase in the taxable valuation OF
81 per cent. for Camden, 40 per cent.
for Newark, so per cent for Trenton
and 104 per cent. for Plainfield, gave
an indication of how the tide was
running throughout the state. In
Essex county one of the smaller
towns, Millburn, showed an increase
in ratables of IT'S per cent.
"This gain" said man represent
ing heavy landed interests both in
north and south Jersey, lis no mere
one-year flash in the pan. 1t indi-
Gates that Jersey has struck her pace
in the matter of growth. Her nat
ural and artificial advantages have
made this inevitable, and today no
state in the east is in better situa-
tion for rapid and steady develop
ment. both in the matter of manufac-
lures and homes.
'"The history of present day clVlll-
cation building shows that the rail-
road is the pioneer of the town and
factory and the trolley is the pioneer
of the home. New Jersey, rich in
both railroads and trolleys, has de-
veloped more rapidly with every year
that has added to the mileage OF
steel rails intersecting through the
state The town has pushed into the
country and sleepy villages have be-
come cities. The total value of New
Jerseys ratables in 1896 was 1884,
42S,04S. | think that now at the
end of a decade, they will show a
gain of billion dollars.
"The only question is whether the
state can keep up her remarkable
pace. ] think that the next two OF
three years will prove that she can
better it."

WORKING AT NIGHT.
Smith Street Paving Job is Be-

In order that the paving of Smith
street may not be delayed on account
of the conduit trenches that are still
in progress on the street, men are
seen every night, working with lam

Much trouble has been experienced
lately by the Jersey Paving Corpora

Smith street, numerous cave-ins and
rainy weather delayed work, and
they were also held up by the con-
duits, which have to be laid before
the street can be paved with the wood
blocks.
Progress is fair at present and all
the work should be complete in about
three weeks.
