ASBURY PARKERS
FIGHT HIGH TAXES
Board of Trade and Citizens Pro-
test Vigorously Against Increase
In Appraisement.

FREEHOLD, Oct. 5. = Asbury
Parks Board of Trade and a large
delegation of taxpayers came to Free
hold yesterday in a chartered train,
and appeared before the County
Board of Equal Taxation to protest
against the increased valuations of
their properties along the shore. The
approximate tax rate in Asbury Park
will be SIG. So this year. Last year
it was $2S. so, a reduction this year
which is offset by an increase in valu-
alton, fixed by the Tax Board, amour
ting to $500, 900, or an approx
mate increase of seventy-five per
cent. This, they allege, is unjust, as
compared to other sections of the
county. The total increase in the
county amounts to about $4,000, 900
and of this amount the board places
$S,500,000 upon Asbury Park and
Neptune township.
Speeches were made by DR.. Bruce
s. Heater, president of the Board OF
Trade; DR.. Ballard, of the Ocean
Grove Association; Mr.. T. Frank APP
pleby, MI. James ID. Carlan, and sew
eral others, including Harold B.
Ayres, who showed the board by
comparative figures that the assess
ment of the city of Asbury Park was
nine times greater than at Long
Branch.
The taxpayers are indignant. They
intend to familiarize themselves with.
all the details as to the assessment
OF other municipalities and come be-
feroe the board again on October II,
and if no relief is given to refuse to
pay their taxes and go to court and
fight to the last ditch.
The new Monmouth House, al
Spring Lake, the handsomest struc-
ture on the North Jersey coast, and
equipped at a cost OF $4,000 O,i is as
sessed by the board for only $119.-
600.

STEAMB DAT CO., TRUCK
STUCK IN TRENCH.

A heavy truck owned by the New
York and New Jersey Steamboat
Company became stuck in a trench
of the Perth Amboy Conduit Com
pany on State street near Smith at
noon today. The trench was filled
in yesterday by some workmen, and
on account of last nights rain, sank
slightly today. The driver of the
truck did not notice the soft spot, and

SEES, and some obliging bystanders.

RAIN CAUSED THE
PAVEMENT To SINK

Although the wooden block pave
ment on Smith street has only been
completed about two weeks, the rain
last night caused it to sink in several
parts of the street. Previous to the
laying of the pavement, many sewer
connections were made, and conduit
and gas pipe trenches caused much
excavating. On this account the rain
has caused the ground to settle,
which in turn makes hollow places
under the pavement. Men are at
work today tearing up the blocks,
which will be re-laid after the holes
have been filled with concrete.
