COLD WATER
PROPOSED BOARD OF TRADE
IN ORANGES HIT.
Some Members of Centennial Committee
Discourage the Scheme, Which
Is Laid Over.

The proposition to take steps toward the
organization OF a board of trade for the
Oranges met with unexpected opposition at
the meeting of the Orange centennial COM
mittee last night.
The matter had been brought up at a
previous meeting. and last night james
Sanderson. who had been appointed to
look into the matter, reported that many
of the business men of the Oranges We're
in favor OF the proposed board, and after
enumerating various benefits which would
be derived from such an organization,
moved that when the committee was dis
solved. a temporary organization hould
be formed.
Colonel George p. olcott objected on
the ground that the centennial committee
had been organized to look after the cen-
tennial celebration and 1t would look as if
the members wanted to keep themselves
before the eyes of the public after their
work WAS done.
"Yon are going over the mark" he said.
'in thus placing yourselves before the peo-
pie, and taking this credit TO yourselves
and / shall be forced to vote against II.
The proper way to do If you want to Or
ganize a board of trade is TO call together
the merchants and business men of the
Oranges regardless of religion, politics or
class and let them act.
Alderman Charles Romano held that a
board of trade would be a failure in the
Oranges. because, he said, the people of
Orange would not stand for suggestions
as to what they should do from the people
Of East Orange and vice versa.
Besides" he said, with the Civics
Club and the New England Society to
make suggestions to the Common Council
l think we can get along without any
more from a board OF trade. What L
would like, however, woul be to lave
the city charter amended so sthat there
would be but two aldermen from each
ward. As things are at present, there are
too many fingers In the pie"
On motion of Calnpal n1entt tim nttnS-
ton was laid over to the next meeting.
Owing to the fact that there are a num-
Der of bills outstanding, the final financial
of the committee, which was ex-
pected last night, was laid over.
A pleasant surprise was rendered David
i. Person. president of the committee.
when the Rev. DIR. Charles Townsend, on
behalf of the committee, presented him
with a large framed photograph of the
Dispatch Rider monument, in recognition
of his faithful services on the committee.

MATTER OF OPINION
COUNTY TAX BOARD TELLS
WHAT IT FOUND.
Claims Kearny Valuations Are Fully 40
Per Cent. Below True Value.
Not Through Yet.

The Hudson County Board of TQxation
today en~deavored TO substantlate its con-
tention that the Kearny Board of Assessors
had assessed property in that town fuily
40 per cent. below the valuation by de-
scribing to a reporter the work that was
gone over. not only yesterday in that tow
but upon its former VISIT June Ii.
This tour OF inspection was not finished
until after 6 O'Clock Yesterday, and the
district covered included the properties on
the west side of Kearry avenue from the
Greenwood Lake Railroad cut down to
New Lawn avenue. During the inspection
there were only two instances in which the
county and town boards agreed as to the
prefer valuations.
The work. of the local assessors appeared
to be against the small property owner,
while with two OF three exceptions they
apparently favored the large owners of
property. This was readily discerned by II
comparison of their figures in the duplicate
tax book filed with the county board. That
fact was pointed out to the assessors by
the county board and suggestions were
made toward improving such a condition..
The comparison of values were made in
all cases merely upon the buildings. The
Feadjustment of the land values will be
taken up later. Without specifying any
particular properties it was said that 1t
was discovered IN one Instance that on a
property that was sold sometime ago for
$4,000 and resold for 5000 later there was
an assessment of only S., 700. In the same
block a small house was assessed at
2 800. which was considered full value by
the commissioners Al other dwelling in
the same neigthborhood four times as large
was assessed for only 81, 700. The local
assessors work in certain streets appeared
TO the county board, 1t was said, to be on
a running scale of an average increase Of
property assessments over last year of
10 per cent, regardless of the extent of
improvements or additions, if any, to the
several properties.
Two other large properties within the
territory that are conservatively valued at
$4,000 and SIS, coo were assessed for only
IS, 700 and s 1900. Where assessments were
so widely at variance with values the
commissioners commended decided in
creases and expect that the assessors will
carry out their suggestion.
The county commissioners will continue
their work in kearny until the entire list
of properties has been investigated. This
will require several more visits. The
county board Is unanimous In its deter
mination to have valuations properly
equalized.
Assessors W. Fl. Maynard and Edward
Sergeant accompanied the commissioners
on their inspection yesterday. Secretary
Sergeant, when asked about the work of
the day, said that there appeared to be
a difference of opinion between the two
boards as to valuations, intimating that 1t
was brought about by the county board
not being familiar with property values In
Kearny.
