COMP PARED.
Figures in State Comptroller S
Report Show Standing of
Every Municipality.
PERTH AMBOY AND N. B.
County Seat and This City Both
Have Advantages Over
the Other.
Special to ths EVENING NEWS:

Trenton, Jan. 27.-Comptroller
Morgan, in his annual report, pre-
sents a complete resume of the fl
nances of each county and municipal
ity in the state. Through it the fis-
cal condition of Perth Amboy and
New Brunswick may be graphically
contrasted.
Perth Amboy makes the best show
ing in the matter of funded debt, re-
porting but $1,O6O,400, while New
Brunswick stands at s1,245,707. The
rate of interest paid on the debt
would seem to show that Perth Am
boy has the best credit for it pays but
to ~ per cent. on the whole
amount, On the other hand New
Brunswick has to pay per cent. on
a portion of its debt.
New Brunswick is ahead in the
item OF sinking fund. IT reports one
of $3S0,42S.18, while the sinking
fund of Perth Amboy is given as
$2S2,33S.1S.
Perth Amboy makes much the bet
ter showing in the matter of tax rate.
With real estate ratables of S7,765,-
361, and personally ratables of
s811.O0O, total $S.576,361, Perth
Amboy laid a tax rate of but s2.25
per 500. With this rate it ex-
pended for the city government for
the year s547,241.13.
New Brunswick reported s12,-
005.442 worth of ratables composed
of $10,215,471 on rea4 estate and
$1,7S9,971 on personal property. But
it also reported tax exemptions
amounting to $2,241. .140, leaving the
taxable property stand at $9,764,302.
Notwithstanding the larger amount
of taxable property the tax rate in
New Brunswick was S262 per $100.
It is interesting to note what the
effect of Hillery maximum tax rate
law will be in Perth Amboy if not re-
pealed. Under that law Perth Am
boy will be compelled this year TO
reduce it's rate to $3.50. Based on
the comptroller's report the city will
have to boost its ratables practically
up to S13,000.000 to produce as
much tax as was produced by the
S2.25 rate, or over a so per cent. in
crease.

.FREEHOLDERS
SALARIES ARE
CUT IN HALF
A Comparison of Amount Paid
the Old Board of FreehOIders
and the New.
FOUNTAIN THE MOST.
Of the Old Board the Director
Received More Than 81 for
Every in Year.
Special to the EVENING NEWS /:

Spccidt TO TIE EVENING NEWS:
New Brunswick, Jan. 27.-With
the going out of the old Board OF
Freeholders and the coming in OF
the new board of five members much
has been said about the saving to the
county as a result of the reduction in
the membership of the board.
In order that the exact amount
paid to the members of the last
board of twenty-four members might
| be ascertained and comparison
made with the salaries of the mem
bers of the new board the payments
made each month by the county col
lector TO the members of the old
board for their salary have been
/ footed up.
The footing shows that the twen-
tyfour members last year for the
twelve months ending with their re-
tirement December thirtieth drew
from the county treasury the sum
of S13,00276, or at the rate of a
! little over 81, 900 month. The law
fixes the salary of the five members
of the new board at $500 which is
little more than half the amount
paid the freeholders last year under
the old system.
The freeholder who got the highest
salary in the old board was the di-
rector, Asbury Fountain, of Madi-
son, the amount he received being
$745.21, or at the rate of $62.10 a
month, more than 81 a day for every
day of the year
The freeholder who got the lowest
salary was James DeHart, of North
Brunswick township. He received
but $2S2.30 during the year, an av-
erage of S23.52 month or about
seventy-seven cents day, counting
in every day in the year.
Averaging the entire membership
of the old board up it is found that
each of them received $45.15 a
month or s541.S0 a year. Some of
them received higher amounts than
this and others fell below the aver
age considerably.
The six freeholders in this city
received together a total amount of
$3,403.45. This is an average of
$567.24 for each per year or $47.27
a month.
The six freeholders in Perth AM
boy received S3,232.62, an average
of S53S.77 per year or $44.S9 each
per month.
The total amount paid last year
for the salaries of the members of
the board and their officers was S21,-
51L3S. The difference between the
amount paid Che freeholders alone
and the total amount of salaries paid
is the amount paid to the county so
licitor, clerk, Overseer of roads,
county engineer, and other county
officers with some expense bills al
lowed these officers by the board.
The amounts received by the var
ious freholders in salaries last year

No slight figure should attempt a

Old Company Dissoives.

After being in existence ninety,slx
years, the stockholders of the Perklo-
men & Reading Turnpike company,
met recently at Potttstown, Pa,
to dissolve the company This step is
taken because the corporation no longer
owns any pike, it's last mile having been
condemned and paid for last month. At
the last meeting the proceeds of this
mile. $3.50 was divided among the
stockholders, making total of about
SO 900 that has been distributed as a
result of the condemnation of the en-
tire pike during the past fifteen years.
The company was Incorporated by spe-
cial act of the Pennsylvania Legislature
on March 20, 1910, to build a pike from
Reading to the Perkiomen at College
Vile. For years it was one of the high
ways to Philadelphia and paid large div
idends on its $S1, 800 capital stock:
Twenty years ago the agitation started
for the abolition of toll gates, and ever
since one section after another was con-
demned till no more of the pike re-
