SHERRERD FOR
DRAINAGE
CONGRESS
Named by Governor to Repre-
sent State-- Possibilities Of
the Work Planned

Governor Stokes today sent a letter
to City Engineer Morris R. Sherrerd
stating that he had appointed him the
delegate to represent this State at the
congress of the National Drainage As
sociation at Baltimore November %
to 81.
The Governor ends his letter by say-
ing there is no State fund to pay the
expenses of the trip, and consequently
Mr.. Sherrerd will have to pay for the
honor and draw on his State patriot
ism to reeompense him.
State Entomologist James B. Smith,
of this State, will deliver one of the
chief addresses at the congress on the
determination of the mosquito through
drainage of marshes.
A. G. Bernard, chairman of the exec
utive committee of the association, ex-
plains the work of the congress In a
letter to Mr.. Sherrerd. He says:
THE Importance Of some national
legislation for the drainage of the vast
area of swamp land in the United
States, which amounts approximately
to $4,000, 900 acres, is such as to war
rant your attendance at the congress.
IF these lands were drained and
sub-divided into f~orty-acre farms they
would afford homes to 2,000,0 900 farmers,
independent of the urban population
that would inevitably follow. If these
farmers had families of five, they would
expend annually $500 for clothing, food,
etc; this would mean an expenditure
of 81, 200 O0, 900.
1.-THE crop values of these now worth
less lands, at $25 per acre, would mean
an addition of $4,000, 000, 900 annually.
1t is impossible to estimate what
amount would be spent by settlers on
these lands for farm equipment and
building, but when reclaimed they will
be a most valuable asset to the gen.
eral government and States, and as
local taxable property.
IF for no other reason, the lands
should be recovered on account of their
Presidential character. At present they
are the homes of malaria and the mos
quito, and the ever-decaying vegetable
matter Is a constant to the
health of the entire country.
1.-THE congress will be a most thor
oughly representative one and will be
addressed by the Hon. Charles ].
Bonaparte, Attorney General U. s.;
Hon. James r. Garfield, Secretary of
the Interior; Hon. James A. Wilson,
Secretary of Agriculture; Hon. Clifford
Pinchott, Chief of Forestry Service;
Hon. H. F. Newell. Chief of Reclama-
ton Service; Hon. Otis Smith, thief of

The letter goes on to say that the
people of Baltimore win extend the
freedom of the city to the representa-
tiyes from the different States.

CHEW YOUR FOOD SLOWLY.
Academy of Medicine Told 1t Is Solution
of Long Life Problem.

NEW YORK. Nov. l5Horace Fletcher,
advocate of slow mastisation of food, has
just been describing his system and its
effects to the Academy Of Medicine. SO
firm a believer is he in his system that he
says 1t is possible for a man more than so
years old to increase his muscular eff
cheney without systematic physical exer-
else. He said that his contention had been
proved by his own case and by experiments
in the Yale Gymnasium. On his fftieth
birthday, MI. Fletcher said that he rode
1870 miles on a bicycle u next morning he
added fifty more.
The lecturer told OF personal tests made
at Yale last June. His previous examine
ton at Yale had been in 1903. In the in
terval between the two examinations he
took no systematic physical exercise. but
ate in accordance with his appetite ana
with reliance upon his system. In the
eighteen months preceding last June, he
was in the Philippines. China, Burmah.
India and the Vale Of Cashmere. He lived
on the food OF the various countries and in
many instances he underwent hardship, but
he suffered no discomfort nor disability.

OF IRVINGTON
DOUBTFUL
Ruling Of Court Of Errors
Probably Makes 1t
EmpractiCabIe.

Considerable doubt existS as to the
practicability of the proposed reassess-
ment of all the properly in Irvington,
as suggested by President Lathrop
Anderson, of the County Board of
Taxation, and it was said today by
lawyers that it was very doubtful
whether. under the ruling of the Court
of Errors and Appeals in the Jersey
City reassessment proposition. the Es-
sex a Equalization Board would be
able to carry out the plan suggested.
The reassessment was considered as 8
result of the discovery that the county
bought for $50, 900, in Irvington, for
park purposes, property which was as
sessed for only $4,000 The discrepancy
between the valuation and the true
worth of the property. as disclosed by
the sale, lrritated the members of the
county board, especially after their urg-
ings during the spring to all local tax
ing boards to assess property at Its true
value.
When glaring differences between
true value and actual value of Jersey
City property were disclosed in the
early part of this year, IN appeal was
made to the State Board of Tax Equal
ization, and that body ordered that
the entire city be reassessed.
This decision was taken into the
courts and was sustained by the Su-
preme Court. but when the case was
carried higher, the Court of Errors and
Appeals ruled that the municipality
could not be reassessed unless notice
were given to every individual property
holder, so that he could make a de-
tense against any proposed increase.
This was a physical impossibility, es-
pecially II the taxes were to be made
available for the year the assessments
were made. In addition the court ruled
that no hardship must be imposed on the
property owners by reason of the neglect
of the taxing officials.
This ruling, it is thought, would apply
to ~Irvington also, IL any attempt should
bes made to have all the town reassessed
this year. and especially at this late day.
The matter of serving notices on every
property owner and of hearing evidence
from each one would consume such a long
period as to be prohibitive while at the
same time there would be imposed such a
great cost as to nullify the reassessment
