The State Board of Equalization Of
Taxes heard the appeal of the Nat
ional Park Amusement Company from
the assessment fixed by the Gloucester
County Board, on Wednesday.
Their property, about 1,700 by 500
feet, and containing in the neighbor-
hood of twenty acres, was assessed
at $4,000, then reduced to $4,000.
The company asked further reduc-
tion to $4,000.
Rev. J. E. Lake, one of the officers
of the company, said that last year the
assessment was $4,000. Since then
there have been no improvements and,
in addition about $1,000 worth of sand
had been washed away by the river.
1t ceased to be park six years ago
and efforts to sell the property have
been unavailing. He valued it at not
more than $4,000 and doubted that it
was worth even that much.
Rev. Mr.. Lake said the property
of J. W. Baird, Immediately adjoining
and containing ninety acres, was as
sessed at $4,000. Just below the sani
tarium property, 125 acres in extent,
is assessed at $4,000, while the Amer
lean Dredging Company has $40 acres
above which are assessed at $4,000.
w. Harrison Livermore, of the
County Board of Taxation, declared
that in his opinion the Baird tract,
even though it contained ninety acres,
was but one-fourth as valuable as
the National Park Company's property.
He said the American Dredging Com
pany's tract was valuable in Pc
culiar way and simply as a dumping
ground for that concern. AS to the
property to the south of the Nation
al Park tract he declared that hum
dreds of thousands of loads of stone
had been used to build up the river
front and prevent the washing away
of the sand. He admitted that such
measures would be necessary with the
National Park people.
At the conclusion of the testimony
the Board held it's decision under ad-
yisement.

early in the morning backing cars of

tunately the train was moving slowly
and the man escaped with slight in
juries.
Despite the public assertion of a
certain prominent citizen of Newbold
as to the pull in the Legislature, the
bill passed the Assembly Tuesday, the
only change being an amendment with
double referendum attached. This
was the original plan of the exponents
of Incorporation, but the "Antis" in
sisted on killing the bill entirely, and
when they found they could not do
this they tried to insert referendum
including the whole of West Deptford
township. In this they also failed,
and the bill now calls for vote of
the citizens living in the district nam
ed, exclusively" This is fair prop
osition to all and when the day is set
for the election to take place, the
broad minded voters will wake up to
the fact that Incorporation is best for
the whole community.

DR. T. B. ROGERS REPLY TO.
FARMER.
Editor Democrat:-

Editor Democrat:
To the query of your correspond
ent as to whether tubercle of cattle
is communicable to man, the answer
must be in the affirmative. Surgical
tubercle, i. e. tubercle of bones, joints,
skin, ETC., are admitted, even by Koch,
to be of bovine origin, while the pre-
ponderence of workers on this sub
ject now hold that the differences be-
tween the germs of cattle and man
are caused by the different conditions
under which they live, that is to say
the differences are differences of en-
vironment.
ment regarding the usefulness of the
Bovine tuberculosis Commission in
our State is concerned, the question
happily cuts no ice.
If bovine tubercle is communicable
to man we want improved methods of
dealing with it. If it isn't, there is
no occasion to spend twenty thousand
dollars yearly in relieving careless
farmers of their consumptive cattle.
The commission attempts to befog
the argument by the claim that they
are protecting the farmer. If careless
examination of inshipped cattle, If
leaving tubercular COWS to infect we'll
ones, If selling tubercu lar beef in
direct contravention of State law, are
aids to the farmer, it seems to me
that the farmer should pray to be
saved from his friends.
The only farmer that can profit by
this condition of affairs is the dis
honest farmer, who wants to be let
alone, who would deliberately make
profit on products detrimental to
the health of the community.
Happily there are not many men of
this stripe, and when we run across
them they should be accorded no
mercy; they are worse ti.an highway
men.
The bovine commission should go;
sooner or later it will go.
truly,
T. B. ROGERS.
