ferns and palms, was divided into a
dozen garden" paths, through
which upward of two hundred couple

TAX ON LAND AT RUNYON
(Continued from mage IL

(COntlnueQ from page III
the hampton property of $50 acres,
containing house, was assessed at
$1,000. The Asbury and Jas. Foun-
tain tract, of thirty-two acres was as
sessed at $4O0 and twenty acres for
800.
Cranberry bogs, belonging to Mrs.
Disbrow, consisting of eight or ten
acres, were assessed at $500.
Mr.. Hommann produced five tax
bills which had been made out to the
Crescent Improvement Company, of
Freehold, from which concern the
city of Perth Amboy bought the land
in question. The bills were made out
in 1908. These were much lower than
the present bills, being only $4,000.
Mr.. Silzer asked if the land was as
sessed at its true value now and the
assessor declared that in his opinion
If put up at private sale it would
bring S25, 900. The three deeds of
the transfer from the Crescent Com
pany to the city of Perth Amboy were
exhibited. They showed that one
tract of 105 acres was bought for
$4,000, another tract for $500 and
the first purchase consisting of five
acres was made for $4,000. This is
total of $14,SO0 paid by the city
and Mr.. Silzer held that assessment
should be at least that much. The
right of way which the city owns
through other property was also men
| toned.
! When the hearing started Commits
sioner Schlessinger stated that George
| ]. Haney, who was member of the
tax board and also of the Perth Am
boy water board, would not sit in
the matter and that the decision
would be made by the other two
members only.
No decision will be made today and
Mr.. Silzer stated that he would prob
ably submit brief in the matter.
The appeal of the Susquehanns
Coal Company, which owns 37S acres
in Madison township for storage
ground. was next taken up. The Goa
| company is assessed at $4,000
whereas the same tract last year was
assessed at only $500. The as
SCISSOR claims that the recent improve
ments make the difference, but the
] company claims that when the as
sessment should have been made nj
improvements had been started ant
# holds that the land should be as
sessed no more this year than it was
last.
| The hearing is being continued this
| afternoon.

fine CROP OF FLAX

Henry j. Irwin, one of our
prosperous farmers living about
eight miles east of here was in the
city yesterday making proof on his
claim. While here Mr.. Irwin call
ed at the Graphic office and pre-
sented us with a sample of his flax
crop. The sample he brought in
measures 33 inches above the roots.
Mr.. Irwin has thirty acres in this
field and states that it is all very
fine. The shortest is about 18
inches and some will run as high
as "a inches. The flax was not
sown until June 9th and goes to
show that with proper cultivation
even late crops can be as good as
any. 1t is estimated that the field
will yield from sixteen to eighteen
bushels per acre and probably
more.
