ADVICE TO ASSESSORS.
County Tax Board Issues a Letter Of
Instruction

county Tax Board Issues a Letter OF
instruction.
Morris county's board Of taxation
has sent out a letter Of instructions to
the assessor of each taxing district in
the county. 1t says in part -
8 Under the most favorable circum-
stances your work is very exacting and
tedious and not infrequently unappre-
ciated by the public. There remains
but one thing to do, and that is to as
sess all property at its true value
without fear or favoritism and with
out regard to criticism. 1t is the aim
OF this board to work in conjunction
with you to secure the taxation of all
property in our county at its true
value in order that all property Eek
cept such as shall be exempt by law
shall pay its full. equal and just share
OF the taxes.
Bear In mind always that no prop
erty, except such as such as may be ex-
plicitly exempt by law. is exempt from
taxation. The responsibility OF seeing
that all property is listed rests with
you, errors OF omission are only dis
covered by accident.
6 It is your duty and the law ex-
pressly provides that you shall deter
mine the full and fair value of all
property within your taxing district
and that in order to do so you shall
make. a personal examination of the
same.
Your individual opinion must war
rant the figures on your assessment
list. This does not mean that you
must use arbitrary values. The law
recognizes your Judgment only in SC
far as it is reasonable.
"All property shall be assessed at
its true value without regard to pre-.
vious assessments. All assessments
must be made according to law and
according to the rules laid down b5
the state board of equalization oi
taxes and by this board" Z"
The letter then defines the duties
of assessors in regard to the taxing
of personal, railroad, canal and Other
property

Must Pay Tax For CHARITIES.


That no charitable organization, ex-
cept it be an Institution or corpora
tion of New Jersey, is exempt from
the provisions of the collateral inheri-
tance tax law, is the construction
placed upon the present law by Vice
Chancellor Edwin Robert Walter, as
vice-ordinary of the Prerogative court.
This decision was reached on an ap.
peal from an assessment of collateral
inheritance tax upon two legacies con-
tained in the will of Jane Ann Gopsill,
who died on January 10, 1909, being
then resident of New Jersey. One
of the legacies was for 1872, 500 to the
Woman's Board of Foreign Missions
of the Reformed Church in America,
and the other was for $1,000 to the
Board of Domestic Missions of the
same church. Both societies are cor
porations of the State of New York
The executors of the Gopsill will
claimed exemption from the tax on
the ground that bequests were made
to religious corporations not confined
in their operations and benefactions
to local or state purposes, but for the
general good of the people interested
therein of the United States or foreign
lands.

WHY SALVES FAIL
TO CURE ECZEMA.

Scientists are now agreed that the
eczema germs are lodged, not in the
outer skin or epidermis, but in the
inner skin. Hence a penetrating LID
uid is required, not an outward salve
that clogs the pores.
We recommend to all eczema pa
tents the standard prescription Oil
Of Wintergreen as compounded in
liquid form known as ID. d. d. Pres
scription. A trial bottle of this d. d.
D. Prescription, at only 25 cents, will
instantly relieve the itch. We have
sold and recommended this remedy
for years, and we know of wonderful
cures from its use. We recommend
it to our patrons.

Legislation should be enacted to pre-
vent this pound-net fishing. Virginia,
though that state is not SO much in
terested, would gladly cooperate if we
take action to stop this destruction Of
a great source Of wealth. Our SELFISH
ness has been standing in our own
way in this matter.
Swamp Land Problem.
Another question that We should
take up IS the reclamation or our
swamp lands, some Of the most val-
liable in the State. The fresh water
swamps and marshes or the State are
estimated at more than $4,000 acres,
and the saltwater area is much larg-
er. We are sending out letters 10 the
various boards of county commits
sioners asking their cooperation in
reclaiming some small sections Of this
land, so that Ii may be used as an
object lesson for the Legislature We
have only $500 a year from the state
and it is not enough to pay for the
necessary survey and other work. But
we want to make a start, and we
may be able 10 get help from the
United States Government.

have to do in order to get at Knight S

showing a six-foot stream running be-
tween them. The stream is too deep for
