Tax appeal hearings In the rural
districts of the county were completed
yesterday by the County Board Of
Taxation. The board made a flying
trip about the county and heard ap-
plications for tax reductions in most
Of the taxing districts, excepting those
In this city and New Brunswick. There
win be another meeting in New Bruins
wick on Tuesday, at which the Hast
appeals from that place will be heard.
At the conclusion of that session a
date win be set for the final meeting
to hear appeals In this city.
An alteration resulted at the hearing
in the borough hall in South River
when Henry W~arnsdorfer,
the East Brunswick tax assessor, was
accused Of ungentlemanly tactics by
Josiah Clark, OF Dunham's Corner. Mr..
Clark claims that Warnsdorfer raised
the assessment on his three farms $500
because of an alleged personal grudge.
The argument grew so hot that Chair
man Groves recommended that the
be adjourned until next Tues
day, when it will be heard in New
