TRENTON, Nov. 27.-In the report of
the State Board OF Equalization of
Taxes, which has just been submitted
to Governor Stokes, it is shown that
the valuation of property in Essex
County has been increased s254f7 755. or
an increase of 6 per cent. over that
of last year. In discussing the increase
the report says:
1.-THE local assessors of Essex County.
and particularly in the city of Newark,
were among the foremost last year to
cooperate In bringing assessments up
to true value, and therefore only the
normal increase due to growth and de-
velopment was expected this year"
The least increase appears In Cape
May County, where 1t only slightly ex-
ceeds 1 per cent. Last year, however,
the assessments in this county were in
creased n per cent.
The total increase in the valuation OF
taxable property in the State for this
year over 1906 is $271, ,317,345, the total
ratables for this year being for S1,S41, =
527. .41S, as against S1,570, ,210,073 for last
year, an increase of II per cent. The
largest increase occurs In Hudson
County, where the valuation exceeds
that of last year by about So per cent,
or $16s, ,46O, ,30s.
The report shows that during the
present year it will be necessary to
raise by taxation about $3O,000,OOO for
the expenses of maintaining the State
and local governments. This amount is
made up from the following items
State school tax, 1872 ,676.41; county
tax, $6,5O1, ,614.5S; local tax, $780, 80.

THANKSGIVING
TO BE CLEAR
AND COLD
Day May Be Enjoyed Ont
Doors by Those Who
Celebrate.

If the reports of the High
School weather bureau be well
founded the people Of this city
and surrounding localities will have
unusual cause for thanksgiving tomor-
row, for, in addition TO the many other
reasons for joy, clear and cold weather
is promised for the nations feast day,
at least during the day. Night may
bring change.
Thanksgiving Day is purely an out
of-door celebration, aside from the
family dinner at home, when people
commingle and are in full spirit of fun
and pleasure seeking
OF course the weather has great
deal to do with the proper celebration
of the day, and as the weather bureau
has promised fine weather, there will
be no need of any regrets from those
who have their holiday turkey slowed
away ready for demolition tomorrow.

JERSEY CITY, Nov. 27.-Matthew

Police Judge Higgins in the First Grim
inal Court this morning for the most
brutal murder ever committed in Hud-
son County. dwell last night killed
his wife in the rooms they occupied in
a furnished room house at 209 Grand
street.
The woman was kicked to death. Her
head was literally pounded to jelly by
the hob-nailed boots of her drunken
husband. Her skull was fractured, her
nose and both jaws were broken. and
several ribs were crushed in. Death
came to her as she was nursing her
3-month-old babe.
Olwel was most unconcerned about
his deed last night, but this morning
he was a wreck Directly after the
murder he did not appear to realize
the enormity of his crime. He APP

not let him leave the place until he
had called the police and investigated
