FOR EQUAL TAXES
Alleged Unfair Assessments in Irving
ton Will Be Fought by All the
Improvers.

Backed by Mahlon S. Drake, one of
Irvlngton's largest property owners,
who for years has been fighting for
equal taxes in that town, the West End
Improvers decided last night to enter
"A campaign to have the alleged differ
ences remedied. In instructing its
special tax committee to work for
equalization, the association joined
hands with the Second and Third Ward
organizations The decision was made
as the result of meeting of the conf
mittces in the assessors Office Monday
night when, 1t was alleged, differences
OF DO per cent. were noted. That such
should be the state of affairs was de-
clared to be ntolerable.
Mr.. Drake added his plea for action
He does not claim to be paying too
inequality which he said exists
Working through the Federation of
Essex County Improvem ent Associa-
tlons, TO which orga nization the West
Enders affiliated themselves last night.
the association will urge the oiling OF
all county roads at the expense of
automobilists through special taxes to
as already embodied In bill pre-
sented through the federation. The
i limproVers also asked the Town Council
to favor the bill.
Irvington has Just oiled some of its
streets as an experiment and the mem-
bers last night spoke of the results in
tIltnuSidSLlc leIluS. An effort was Qldue
by Alfred T. Sorgenfree, the president.
to have the organiza tion go on record
as favoring the further oiling of the
streets by the town, but the ruling
sentiment favored imposing the cost on
the chief offenders, the autoists. and no
action was taken either endorsing or
censuring the Council for making It's
experiment at the towns expense.
Albert j Lacombe was opposed &c
any measure calling upon the further
expenditure of town funds for the pur-
pose, claiming that 1t Is outrageous 10
ask the citizens to pay the cost of inl-
proving the roads made dusty chiefly
by the autoists, although Mr.. Sorgen-
free urged that 1t would be advisable
TO sprinkle the streets until some law
is passed. 1t would be fair, some
thought. to divide the cost evenly be-
tween the county, the town and the
trolley company, all of whom would be
benefited.
A E. Helm asserted that the letter
written by the traction company agree
ing to run all Sprin gfield avenue cars
to Fortythird street loop has not bean
embodied in the franchise granted the
company, as 1T was agreed 1t shoald
