was found to be very small part of
the work. Very few appeals have ever
come before this Board with the con-
tention that the property was assessed
| beyond true value, in almost all in
stances the contention has been in
equality. Appeals were heard by the
Board Sitting number of days each
week at the Court House and ingiving
different sections of the County days
| to be heard in their own locality.
1t is the belief Of the Board that
some method should be adopted where
by assessors, particularly in the coun-
try districts could be compelled to
proceed with their work at the proper
time. They usually delayed the same
as long as possible, and then do not
have sufficient time, to properly do
their work.
In number of instances we have
been compelled to go to them from day
to day and threaten them with COM
plaint to the State Board, If they did
not proceed. This is not always salts
factory and some different method
ought to be devised.
We have some very good assessors
and some very poor ones, some are in
capable and others Intentionally dc
wrong. 1t may be and probably is a
fact, that they are poorly paid as a
, class.
If possible some method should be
devised which would secure better
men, more competent and better fitted
| for their work generally as assessors.
To be brief, this Board found the
condition of taxing matters in the
County to be unsatisfactory. Several
of the municipalitiesswere taxed abSO.
lutely without regard to the rights OF
tax payers in other taxing districts.
The County and State school taxes
amount to a little more than one-half
of all the moneys raised, and in fair
lness and justice to all the valuations
should be as nearly equalas possible in
all sections.
We found also very great discrimi-
nation between the individual tax
payers iii the several municipalities
and that the smaller the property the
higher the valuation proportienately
We also found that in some munich.
palities practically no personal proper
ty was assessed, and that little regard
was paid to figuring rates and totals
Many of these evils have been cor
rected.

All Over In Half an Hour.

The flames spread with such. terrific
rapidity that within thirty minutes
from the time the fire was discovered
the schoolhouse was nothing but few
blackened walls surrounding cellar
filed with corpses and debris.
The firemen dashed into the blazing
wreckage and with erakes, forks, show
els and their bare hands worked in the
most frantic manner with the hope of
saving few more lives. They were
unsuccessful, for none was taken alive
from the ruins after the floors col
lapsed Fragments of incinerated
limbs, skulls and bones were found
almost at every turn.
The great majority of the little bodies
that were taken from the ruins were
burned beyond all possible recognition.
And it is no small part of the sorrow
which is bearing down the people Of
North Collinwood that positive identifi-
cation of many of the children will
never be made.
Teachers Narrow Escape.
One of the teachers, Miss Pearl Lynn,
IdItOWly coNupcu uSlbus ohS was NuA
ried toward the rear entrance by the
rush of the panic stricken pupils and
fell at the bottom of the stairs, with
numbers of the children on top Of her.
She lay there unable to rise because of
the weight of the bodies upon her. She
was dragged from the mass of dead
children just In time to save her own
life.
One of the scenes of supreme hor-
ror that attended the fire occurred at
the rear doorway of the building be-
fore the firemen arrived. This door,
like the one in front, opened inward,
and it was locked. The children were
piled up high against it, and when 1t
finally was broken down by their
weight and by the fire that had part
ly burned and weakened it the women
who had gathered outside saw before
them mass of white faces and strug-
Cling bodies. The flames swept over
the aisle while the women stood help
less, unable to lend hand to aid the
children. Many of the women were
unable to withstand the sight and
dropped fainting to the ground. The
fire department was late in reaching
the building, and when it came the
apparatus was found to be inadequate

TAX BOARD
looNT1NUED FROM FIRST PAGE. |

with a raise of only $4,000; Mt
Olive Township with raise of only
SO, 1000; Washington township with
raise of only 1000; Mendham
Township with no raise whatever ex-
cept that three or four assessments
were increased by the Board. In some
of the municipalities where the in
creases exist we did it arbitrarily, and
! it might be we'll to refer to them.
In Rockaway Borough, the Board
discovered all property to be about on
an equality, but all materially low.
The duplicate was more than doubled,
and we had but two or three appeals
from the Borough; the. same action
was taken in Wharton Borough and in
Butler Borough. Mendham Borough,
which was assessed as such for the
first time in 1906, gave in for the origi-
nal return by the assessors an assesSa-
BILE value of less than 100000. This
Board spent three days in the Borough
and raised the duplicate to 1855, 500,
and increased only eight tax payers in
doing so.
Considering the increase in the tele-
phone and telegraph companies in the
various taxing districts, and the addi,
tion of the railroad property outside of
the main stem not more than one-half
of the municipalities of our County
have been increased.
AS above shown, In some municipali-
ties all valuations were raised but in
the majority only few were increased
and we deem it safe to say that not
more than 25 per cent of the individual
tax payers of the County have been in
creased in the amount of tax paid.
We find in 1905 the average tax rate
in Morris County was 500 38on a 81 900.
In 1907, the average rate was 1851 on
a ST, 900. This 10 spite of the fact that
the County paid 1925, 1851 more State
school tax in 1907, than it did in 1905,
and in spite of the fact that seventeen
out Of twenty-Seven municipalities in
the County raised more local money in
1907 than they did in 1906.
In 1905 the highest tax rate in Nor
riS County was 1920 on 1000, and
the lowest was S14.70 on $1,000. In
1907 the highest tax rate was $22. 63 on
81 900, and the lowest was SOTO on
$1,000. We find that the rate in
BoontOn Township in the two years
has dropped $l0.58 on 1000; Butler
Borough, $1,000; Rockaway Borough,
Sl0.58: Wharton Borough, S14.59.
AT the beginning of tine first yeaI
the Board caused to be printed cir
cular letter, a copy of which is append

HORSEMEN
BANQUET
Apparently a Hippophagean
Feast, but the Menu not so
Bad after a Second Look.
THE GENUS EoUUS HONORED

The second annual banquet of the
Morris County Road Drivers Associa-
tion was held in the hall of the Miller
Building on South street on Wednes-
day evening with nearly hundred and
| fifty men in attendance. The room.
which was used as banquet hall fol
the first time that evening, was admir-
ably adapted to the purpose, and was
! also illustrative of the accommodation
it will afford for lodge purposes.
The speakers table was set parallel
to South street, extending the length
of the room, while from it at right an
giles extended four other tables. The
tables were prettily set with Candida
bra and other decorations, while the
room itself was very horsey. Blankets
were fastened before the windows, the
chandeliers were decorated with har-
ness, and pictures, whips, sleigh bells
and horse furnishings were everywhere
in evidence. To put a proper inter
probation on the nature of the aSs0cia-
tion however, a live horse was stabbed
in the banqueting room. 1t was A..
M. Guerin's pony, which by dint of
coaxing and assistance had been per-
suaded to ascend the two flights of
stairs, and during the dinner occupied
stall improvised for the occasion.
The following menu, served by Day,
was discussed, after grace had been
said by the Rev. Wendell Prime Keller:

At the conclusion OF the repast A. M.
Guerin called the assemblage to order.
After singing by the whole company,
he welcomed the members and guests,
telling how the dinner Of last year was
one Of organization, which was fol-
lowed by good time during the sea-
son. There are now one hundred and
twenty-five men in the Association,
and he expressed the hope that a hun
dred more be added before the follow
ing morning, saying that they intend
ed to race the hair off during the com
ing season.
He introduced as the first speaker
the Rev. Alexander MacColl, who
spoke of his lack Of knowledge of
J horses, the permanence OF the horse,
