The Burlington County Board Of Tax
alton will meet to day to begin the work
of examining the duplicates and compar-
ing them with those of last year. The
duplicates may be seen at any time by call
ing at this Office or at the court house,
and persons interested may look over the
figures and make comparisons between
their assessments and those of properties
In their neighborhood.
There has been much said about pub
fishing the list of assessments in each town
ship and the general opinion is that it
would be very beneficial in aiding an equal
assessment. To make these figures pub
lie would allow every taxpayer to get an
idea of what property in his neighborhood
Is valued at. The objection to the publ
cation scheme Is that 1t would cost too
much
There are several things that should be
borne In mind. 1t is not necessary to wait
until the date set for appeals to make
This may be done at any
time. Then there are many people who
think because their property is assessed
higher than another property of the same
character, the assessment on the former
should be reduced. This is not correct
The difference is just grounds for having
the value of the other property raised, but
it is not sufficient to reduce the house that
happens to be higher.
Another point that is not taken into
Is that the law requires
property to be assessed at full value. Very
often a house is valued by an assessor at
figure that 1t would readily bring at sale.
but the owner does not want 1t taxed that
way because he thinks 1t is too near real
value. Then he uses the argument that
the house two or three doors below him is
not assessed anywhere near what his is.
AS stated before this Is no reason for re-
duction in one case but it is ground for
raising the valuation In the other instance.
The Board of Taxation will be glad to
show any taxpayer the duplicate in which
be is interested and to receive suggestions
on points that appear to need adjustment

Work on Batueshlp Delaware Goes
Steadily Ahead.
RAPID PROGRESS MADE IN MAY
Decree Of completior Of Vessel Build
ing Here is Believed to Have Ad-
vanced Nearly One per cent Over
That Of Her Sister Ship.

Work on the big battleship Della
ware at the shipyard was pushed
rapidly ahead during the month OF
May and it is believed by those who
are in a position to know that the To-
cal plant gained nearly one per cent
during the month over the record
made during the same month by the
Fore River Ship & Engine Company in
the construction OF the battleshlp
North Dakota which is sister ship
10 the Delaware and for which the
contract was awarded at the same
time
The contract for the Delaware was
signed on August 6, 1907. and while two
years have not yet elapsed since the
signing of the contract. the vo<sel Is
over so per cent complete. IL is be-
lieved that the trial of the hig snip
twill take place during the present
year. If this is done. the yard will
have made an eXtraord. nary fine rec
ord in battleship construction.
The parts of the port engine of the
ship have all been placed on board and
installed in their places. and the star
board engine is completed in the ma
chine shop and is ready 10 be placed

CANDIDATES FOR JUDGESHIp
INTEREST IN UPPER MARLBORO
OVER CIRCUIT COURT SESSION.
Clagett to Preside Until Successor
Is Elected to Judge Merrick.
Canvass of Politicians.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, March 3n-
Much interest is being taken by Prince
George county politicians in the approach
ing session of the circuit court, which
convenes next Monday morning. 1t is
believed that the approaching session
will bring much larger crowd here than
usual. not because of the great amount
OF legal business that is to be disposed
Of but because of the varied political
interests that are involved this year.
There is much uncertainty being mani
tested in democratic circles over the
George {. Merrick. while in the repub-
lican camp it seems that +. SnoWden
Hill is certain of the nomination.
Judge Merrick is to retire from active
duty the 18th Of April and 7. Van Clag-
cit. who has been appointed by Gov.
crothers to serve until the election of a
successor to the judge. has taken up the
work 1t is stated that there is light
civil docket for the spring term of the
court and no criminal cases of any par
ticuIar consequence to be tried. so that
the session will hardly extend over long
enough for the new judge to hold court.
Some of the more enthusiastic friends
of the appointee. however, are anxious
70 proiong the session until after the 18th
in order that he may not have to wait
until the fall term before going upon the
bench.
1t IS certain that politicians from all
sections OF the county will be on hand
next week to do missionary work among
their friends. T. Van Clagett has the or
ganization behind him. while Fillmore
Bcall has a large following OF independ-
ents.
so far as my way of thinking goes,
remarked one of the prominent county
democrats today IF. Snowden Hill will
be an easy winner at the polls, no matter
what democrat is nominated. Mr.. Hill
Growers Association. is not politician
and his popularity extends through all OF
southern Maryland
The fearless manner in which Judge
Merrick has dealt with criminals in south
ern Maryland during his long term OF
service the bench has won for him
friends in the several counties. ire
spective of the question of politics, and
ii Is expected that lie will have some
thing of interest to say during the clos
ing of his judicial career at the approach
ing term of the court
IF the people think I have performed
my duties conscientiously.' said Judge
Merrick to Il representative of The Even
ing Star Il will be satisfied to lay down
my work. For my part, | have tried to
do my duty to the state and my fellow
man. l have endeavored to perform 1t
i'm a fearless manner, without fear or ia
vor, and have acted as / deemed lit best
COR all concerned
