M|lLV|LLE TAX
MATTERS MUDDLEO

Millville N. j., Nov. 28.-One hun
dred property owners appeared before
the Cumberland county tax board,
which sat here to-day, and asked that
the assessment made against their
properties by the local assessors be re-
ouced. Herbert Bartlett. of Vineland,
counsel for the Millville Gas Company
and the Millville Water Company, sp
pealed to the board to increase the
assessments levied against the cotton
Company, and the big glass works of
Whitall Tatum Company for the sake
of equalization of taxes.
The board fixed December 1S as the
date upon which Mr.. Bartlett is to
present testimony that the assessments
of the manufacturing plans. as COM
pared with those of the utility con-
Germs, are not equal The N illville
Gas Company's plant and the Millvill
Water Company's property were
assessed $3.50, 900 each last year. On
appeal to the county tax board they
were reduced to $87, OILS and $64, 644,
respectively. The city appealed in
t the State tax board, which
placed the assessment on the gas
works at $1O6, 1S9 and on the water
plant 1927, 658. The local assessors
took these figures as the assessments
against the utility plants this year.
1t is rumored to-day that there will
be many charges and cross charges
in which other manufacturing plants
OF the city will be involved before
the assessments are adjusted The
small property holders have charged
for many years that the big corpora.
tions are not paying their just share
of taxes, and will now use every effort
to have a thorough investigation
made.

The hundred pays 5000 per mile,

The bonds should be used for per

Some have said, bond the State

for 1000 miles of road.
Bond each county for SI2o, 900.
That would improve 500 miles OF

bonded for $4,000. The increased
valuation of property would admit
Of bearing that expense.
We can bond the counties and

We would have to do away with
the old roads overseers. We have
had $4,000 the past year and it
was divided among 1872 road over
seers, and each one had to be paid.
We must do away with this OBJ
solete system. Whether we like
the new way of doing things or not,
we We got to do It.
When you begin to improve the
roads, let them radiate from a COM
mon centre. Start at each town
and build as far as you can. But
clear up the old machine system
first. Don't give a dollar Of bonds
under the old system.
Let us have the good roads, so

FOR A STATE ROAD.

IN an argu ment in favor of good
Dads made by Senator Drexler at
Dover last week, he spoke before a
large gathering on the question,
" Resolved, that Kent County should
proceed to build good roads, and
issue bonds to meet the expense.
He said in part:
--''I am from Sussex, but what I
shall say will apply as well to Kent.
As far back as we 60 in history we
find the advancement of civilization
has , cen followed by good high
va Almost every army has been
sJrted with engineers to make
goo roads over which the army may
tiAvel, Commerce has always fol-
lowed the course ofleast resistance.
Sd taking the short cut that good
roads are absolutely essential, let us
apply it to Kent County.
One Of the questions before us is
transportation. The argument that
TIE railroad can best be regulated
b. competition does not fit in this
csse. And even if we had other
roads they would have to cross the
p-esent line at various points and
there would be constant contention
al grade crossings.
We can cut down the cost Of haul !
ing from farm to station by having
good highways. l favor an i'm
proved highway running the length
Of the State, built by the State.
This would show the people what
benefit could be derived from i'm
rroved highways. In Maryland
tle State has provided funds to
build a highway down through the
counties on the Eastern Shore.
Why should we not do the same?
In the matter OF bonding. While
a Young man, l may have to pay
interest on these bonds. But pos
terity will reap the benefit in in
creased efficiency. Graded rural
schools have been spoken of, but
they cannot be adopted unless we
have good roads.
In the transportation Of products
the carriage cost of hauling freight
on ordinary roads is IS cents per
ton per mile. On improved roads
the cost is IS to 20 cents; while on
the best equipped roads the cost is
reduced to S cents per ton per mile.
In water transportation the cost
goes down in proportion to bulk
freight to S-Ioo of I cent per ton
per mile.
In figuring out the cost, suppose
we start out with roads Of gravel
and clay. It has been found that
high priced roads do not hold up
anv better than we'll drained gravel
roads. In our Sussex County Levy
rourt we have a farmer near Stock
lev who has built some of the pref
fest roads you can see at any place
as low as $IOo per mile.
Let us say we pay $1,000 per mile. :
Assess the owner of farm 5 per
,ent of cost of road; say he owns a )
nile. On the other side S per cent.
The hundred pays 20 per cent, the q
,ounty go per cent and the State !

LAID TO REST.
Lovely Young Girl Victim
of Dread Typhoid
Fever.

The announcement of the death
of Miss Mary Joseph McKenna.
youngest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
James McKenna, of Fairfield, Nelson
county, which was received in Louis
vile on Tuesday afternoon, shortly
after her demise, came as a great
shock to the friends of the family,
who have hosts of friends in Louis
vile and throughout Kentucky. Miss
McKenna died of typhoid fever after
several weeks illness. Beside her
parents she is survived by a brother,
DR.. Henry McKenna, who has been
in New York City, an inferno at one
of the leading hospitals, and by two
sisters, Misses Margaret and Eliza
beth McKenna. Miss Mary Joe Nc
Kenna was a lovely young girl, of
sunny disposition. She was the idol
of her parents and of her grand
father, Charles w. White, who lives
with the McKennas at Fairfield. She
had been a student at Nazareth dur
ing the past two years, and would
have graduated next year had she
lived. Her parents and other rela-
tives have the sympathy of a large
of friends throughout the
State. The funeral of Miss McKenna
took place Thursday and the inter-
ment was in st. Louis cemetery.
