SENATOR AVIS
TELLS BENEFIT OF
SCHOOL TAX BILL
Says Measure Which Passed
Senate Last Night Would
Reduce Taxation.
CFrorn a staff oorrespondsnt

TRENTON, March Ex-senator Avis
this morning explained his school tax
bill, which passed the Senate last night,
as follows:
"Ihe present law, with relation to
the State school fund, provides that
the Legislature shall appropriate a
sum of not less than s100. 900 annually
for State school purposes, and that the
balance of the State school funds
(Which fund in the aggregate shall
amount TO a sum equal to wa and
th~ree-quarters mills on the dollar of
the aggregate valuation of the ratables
in the State of New Jersey shall be
raised by a State tax. The operation
of this act of 1907 and two acts OF 1906
led to much confusion.
Senate bill 121, which was intended
to cover this situation, has miscarried:
has been m~isconstrued n misunder-
stood. AS a remedy l have withdrawn
Senate bill No. 121 and substituted the
present bill, which provides that the
State school fund shall be an amount
equal to two and three-quarter mills
Upon each dollar of valuation OF rat
ables in the State. but provides that
the amount received from railroad tax
alton, and the amount appropriated by
the Legislature shall be deducted from
the total amount. and the balance shall
be raised by a taxation upon the rata
bles of the State.&

school tax will probably be reduced
from 60 to 65 per cent. and possibly

which was recently appointed TO work
against the annexation of the township
to Newark, last night drafted a set of
resolutions which will be presented to
the Legislature, asking that body to
oppose the proposed bill. The resolu-

demand for consolidation with Newark.
and that citizens of the township are
fully capable of administering its af-
fairs in a more satisfactory manner
than If the township were part of New
ark. In the original petition against
annexation it was admitted that the
fire and police departments could be
improved upon, but in the resolutions
last night it was, stated that these de-
