THE CANNING FACTORY
Newtown. Friday. November 1. 1907.

The Knowles-Lombard Co.,, are hustling things at the canning factory and are now working on apples. They have put up 16,0O0 three-pound cans of tomatoes and expect to put up 10000 gallon cans of apples. A. H. Lombard, the manager of the local fac tory, is paying $1. 50 per barrel for hand picked apples and buying all desir- able windfalls offered. There are now 20 to 25 people on the pay roll of the local factory. While the owners of the factory did not produce as large acreage to tomatoes as promised MT Lombard, it will doubtless be their. policy to treat the concern so liberally they will come smother season. At their Guilford factory the firm have 10 times the capacity of the New Mill ford plant. MT Lombard is a delight- ful gentleman personally and is making his home at the Park View house while in town. In addition to what they are canning here they are shipping carloads of apples and pumpkins to their factory at Guilford.

Providing for the Future.

There is one problem that dom
mates the home, an obtrusivc,
pervasive problem that Outlines
ILLS the whole horizon of lie, one
that, like Banquo's ghost, "will
not down.; it is the ever present
question OF home financing.
When we have mastered the
"to have" the problem Of the ITO
hold" confrouts us. 1t is the
question OF providing for the
home which can never be proper.
ly answered until we realize that
provide" is.a verb that should
ever be corrugated in two lenses
present and future.
There is in our American lite,
too often, a blind optimism in
living up to an income, III assum-
ing that because the sun OF pros
perity shines warmly today there
is no need OF providing umbrellas
for a possible rainy tomorrow.
Those who wisely live within an
income rarely have to face the
problem OF trying to live without
one. There are two simple guar
antees against future poverty and
dependence on others, two great
safeguards for home and family
"a bank book and ali insurance
policy. They represent the ma
tcrial defense of the home, o bull
wark of loves forethought stand
ing strong and firm in the hour
of reed.-William George Jordan

LAND VALUES
And TAX RATES

1t is probable that one Of the worst
| practices in connection with the as
sessed valuation Of real estate is the
preference which is frequently given
| to unimproved property, held for spec
ulative purposes, by land companies
and individuals, for the benefits arts
ing from neighborhood improvements
and growth. In many communities
| this class of property is held for
years, and has not only been assessed
| at nominal figures, but owners have
| frequently defaulted in their taxes
| and assessments, with the hope, pc '
haps, that future buyers would pay
these public charges in the purchase
of the tracts so held
1t has been the experience in some
of our growing cities, that large tracts
Of unimproved residential land, map
ped out in lots at good prices. are
owned by land companies and are
assessed as farm lands, at nominal
| rates. Sometimes, large tracts Of
land, in the outskirts of our cities
are held by speculative owners, wait
ing to secure the unearned increment
from the enterprise of others, while
in the meantime the public received
but small revenue from these proper
ties. But when a lot Is sold to a pri-
yate purchaser and a house is built
upon It, Immediately the assessed val
uation is placed at higher figure
than whole acre of the remaining
part of the tract is assessed This is
penalty on improvements which
should be abolished
The principal cause of low valua-
tion in suburban places is found in
the idea of local property owners that
they attract buyers and residents.
With certain amount to be collected,
the lower the valuation the higher the
tax rate. For local purposes, there
fore, 1t doesn't make any difference
on low valuation, or at a low rate
on high valuation; the amount of
tax is the same In either case. An
other consideration which is also held
Is the municipalities share OF the coun.
TVS expenses. The lower the assessed
valuation, the less the municipality
has to pay each year to the county.
That has practically been the princi-
pal course in the counties, with re-
gard to percentage valuations, as
taxes on real estate are not paid 20
the state. The opportunity which is
Afforded local assessors to discrimin-
ate as between property owners IL
evidently great and possibly 1t is
sometimes grossly abused.
The effect OF the abolition OF dis.
examinations and especially on unim-
proved property must be to reduce
tax bills, since large amount Of
property which is not assessed at a
figure near its real worth will be add.
ed to the valuations. Then, too, a
fair and just rate Of valuation and
taxation will do muon to break up
speculative holding OF unimproved
lands, intended for sale in residential
Lots, and the unearned increment will
advert to those who improve and not
TO those who stand In the way OF pro-
gress and public improvements
