a decided success. every number on the

they will not soon be forgotten.

new JERSEY STATE NEWS


The State Board of Assessors at
Trenton filed it's schedule of the as
sessments on the railroads of the
State under the new taxation law
passed last winter, in response to
popular demand for more nearly
equalized taxation. Under this sched-
ule the total valuations of the rail-
roads of the State are fixed at $194,-
R56,819, an increase over last years
valuations of $4,658,576. This is
the assessment upon first-class, or
main STEM" property, and is exclu-
sive of the second class property,
which under the new law, is now as
sessed locally and for local purposes.
Heretofore the main stem" proper
ty was assessed under special and
cOnspicuousIy favorable laws, at the
rate of one-half of one per cent,
which brought from the railroads
taxes of but fifty cents on the 500
OF valuation, while the property Of
she ordinary citizen paid in some
cases as high as SO in the same local.
1ty. Under the new law the railroad
property is now taxed at the aver
age rate for all property in the
State. The State Board figured from
the prevailing rates of the taxing dis
tricts that this average rate is SIS
on $1,000. Thus the increase in the
tax bills Of the railroads for the COM
ing year will be $500, 37125, or
more than three times as much as
last year. All the excess over the
one-half of one per cent. formerly
levied win go to the school fund, the
balance to be devoted to the expenses
of the State government.
