occurring instances) to persuade the
best and most representative citizens
to accept public Office?
Great stress is laid upon the term
heavy taxpayers as applied to the
signers of the joint-note and members
of Council. The misinformed writer
is probably unaware that quite I few
voices raised in loudest condemnation
of the Councils illegal procedure be-
long to persons whose taxes, taken
separately, are heavier than those
paid collectively by the Mayor and
any two or three men whose names
appear at the bottom of the trade
In fact, the individuals in question are
the heaviest taxpayers in the Bor-
ough although they neither brag nor
boast about it. Moreover, no matter
how small the amount of his taxes
may be, it is the privilege and duty of
every taxpayer too know that Coan-
Gil and the Mayor are using the mon
ey he helps to contribute TO the best
advantage, and legally.
Reference must be made to the
spirit shown in the article and by the
Councilmen in frequent instances a
tendency to belittle and berate tax
payer because of his small degree.
1t should be remembered that the
small taxpayer who has worked long
and hard to accumulate the sum re-
quired to build a home for himself
and his family feels every increase of
tax much more heavily than the more
fortunate heavy taxpayer" whose
stock in the Swedesboro bank is as
sessed on a valuation of $25 per share
when it could not be purchased for a
hundred and twenty-five dollars.
These prominent persons in COun
Gil and the Mayoralty owe their. prom
inence to the position to which the
mass of tax payers have voted them,
and not to their personal qualities or
characteristics. They should remem-
Der that it is within the ability of the
same taxpayers to withdraw as well
as to bestow power. Surely the small
taxpayer, although less fortunate
than others, is worthy. nevertheless,
of certain considerations
Here it seems expedient to remark
that the signers Of the article in last

NEWBOLD, WEsTyILLE, VICTORIA

4 That interest in the above-named
towns is thoroughly aroused over
Nthe subject of incorporation was at
Tested last Thursday evening when
almost the entire voting ,and talk
ing population of those villages at
tended the third meeting for a dis
cussion of the subject in Prosperity
Hail. AS on the previous meetings
Henry stanley presided, and Mr.. Jos.
w. Pratt was secretary. A represen-
tative of this paper remained until
10 o'clock, and when he left the dis
cussion was at it's height. Before
adjournment, however, a vote Was
taken, and 142 persons voted for or
against incorporation. 141 came out
of the box and of these 20 were
against and II for.
The opposition came largely from
Newbold and Victoria and the rea-
son therefor was that the property
owners there have received liberal
treatment from the township COM
mittee in the expenditure of public
moneys, and the further TACT that
they would put into the new borough
$672 600 of value and 100 votes, while
Westville would contribute $4,000
and 300 votes. They thought the
marriage of their big value and
small voting power with Westville's
small value and big voting strength
would not prove a paying investment
to them. ~
Westville, on the other hand,
favored amalgamation. So far as
expression went, they believe all of
these taxpayers would be vastly ben
efitted by such course. They see
better schools, better streets, better
sidewalks, police protection, more
light, and no increase of taxation, in
a joining of hands and pocketbooks.
DR.. James Hunter, Collector Hill
yard and Mr.. Dempsey, of Newbold,
led the discussion against incorpor-
alton, while Messrs. Kirk, Gran,
Hendrickson and others spoke in fa-
vor of it. Good temper marked all
the interesting discussions.
Last evening we received long
communication, giving the interest
ing proceedings of a meeting of New
bold-Victoria people in the school
house on Saturday evening last. DR..
Hunter was chairman and Mr.. Hill
yard secretary. The sentiment,
Don't Go Into Borough" pervaded
the discussions. The vote was 8
for incorporation and 81 against.
The Chair was authorized to appoint
committee of to arrange legal
contest against incorporation. Messrs
Hunter, Hilyard, Watson, Hauck,
Dempsey and Redfield were appoint
ed. A committee on finance consist
ing of Messrs. Berry, Sesh, Quensil,
Davis and Volt, was appointed. Two
petitions of protest were prepared,
one to be signed by Newbold and
Victoria, and one by Westville. In
answer to a question, it was shown
that they could be annexed to Vest
vile, although every taxpayer in the
district was opposed.
We regret that we are unable to
put the entire article in type for this
issue.

The Board OF Trade.

An interesting session of the City
Board of Trade was held on Monday
evening In the absence of President
Green, DR.. Reading presided. After
routine business discussions were
opened. The extension of Camden
yard limit to Woodbury. by the West
Jersey railroad, concessions to manu-
facturers, ETC., were discussed. Mr..
Watkins contributed materially to
the discussion under this head in a
brief talk in which he asserted that
the paramount consideration of man
ufacturers, in locating their plants,
was facility and rate of transpofta-
ton. He reviewed the history of the
manufacturing business in Woodbury.
and showed that those of the present
and almost wholly of the past, we're
the result of one mans interest. Sue
cessful manufacturers are not short
sighted. Concessions for only a
brief period, in taxes and water rents
weigh small with them, in deternun-
ing location. If by casting aside all
other objects of it's existence, this
Board could in reasonable time Sc
cure water transportation or addition
al rail facilities, thus insuring COM
petition in carriage of freights, it
would do more for the future of
Woodbury. than has ever yet Leen
accomplished
Lack of competition is the reason
of our lack of growth along these
lines; with permanent competition,
manufacturers would come without
these concessions we talk about. Ap-
plause greeted this statement.
On motion of Mr.. Carpenter, and
after discussion, the resolution as to
censorship of proceedings was re-
scinded by an almost unanimous vote.

Reaching The Insurance Trust.

A bill for the protection of the peo-
pie of New Jersey against the exact
ions of Insurance Trust has been in
troduced into the Legislature. It re-
uuires every fire insurance company
to file annually on the first day OF
January statement under oath of
the president and secretary that
neither the company nor its officers
belong to any trust or combination
to fix, keep up or maintain rates and
have not entered into any agreement
to fix or maintain rates, and until
such oath is fled no company shall
be authorized to do business in this
state. The paid lobby of the trust
will no doubt try to kill il in commit
tee. Here is something for our Board
of Trade to get busy about

A Watchful Cop.

At an early hour Saturday morning
a Camden police officer saw a colored
man on Broadway carrying a bundle.
The mans actions attracted the cops

home was in Woodbury., where he
formerly worked for G. R. Ogden, and
he acknowledged that lie lad stolen
the goods from the home CT his late
employer.
Mrs. Ogden has been in Washington

to be assembled at the discretion of
the law officers.

MRS. GEORGE NO 2.
STARTS ANOTHER
ACTION

Comes now Mrs. George No. 2,
according to her own allegations,
and contributes her mite to keep
the name of George ever fresh in
the King county court records, by
filing an amended complaint in
her suit. In the new bill, she
adds to her former recitation of
the woeful neglect and abandon
ment of herself by Attorney Chas.
e. George of Tacoma in less than
a year after she alleged they
were married. She states, fur
ther, that she has no means of
support, and therefore asks for
permanent separate maintenance
by George.
Her allegation that she has no
means of support is interesting in
view of the fact that she is being
sued by Mrs. George No. / for
$4,000 heart balm. In turn,
however, she is suing Mrs. George
No. 3 for an equal amount.

that at present 1877, 100000 acres
now is under the control of the
forestry bureau. This is only
about one-fourth of the acreage
under private ownership.
Balm For PinchOt, Too.
Although a great deal of opposl-
ton had developed against the
policies enforced by Mr.. Roosevelt,
Chief Forester Pinchot and Secre-
tary Wilson, general opposition
to Mr.. Pinchot's plans has disap-
peared," Mr.. Taft said, "and the
great body of American people
recognize the benefit of the reform
in reference to forestry"
The president said that congress
should do something to relieve the
investors of Colorado and of 9th
er states who had gone into GER
tain irrigation projects with the
expectation that the government
would go head with the work.
Money For Reclamation.

urging the passage of an enabling
act which shall permit the secre-
tary of the interior to issue bonds
in the sum of 100000 to COM

These bonds should be redeemed
from the money paid into the
reclamation funds after the COM
pletion of the projects.
1.-THE mere fact that the recla-
nation service has gone ahead too
fast" continued the president,
Ought not to prevent congress
from lending its aid to overcome
the difficulty. We shall know bet
ter in the future treatment of
the subject and in the further use
of the $50, 100000 fund how to
avoid putting ourselves in a sim

pieces are being projected in every
direction and the prospect Of
eclaiming millions of acres from
the deserts is most encouraging.
