TWO BILLION IN RATABLES.


The ratables of New Jersey prop
erty for all purposes of taxation are
this year $2,166, 735, 535.16, an Increase
of $120, 837,,321.31 over last year, ac-
lcording to the annual report of the
State Board Of equalization of taxes
to Gov Wilson, which shows that thd
increased municipal expenses are rel
sponsible for the increase of the aI-
erage tax rate of the State, which
this year is ST 896 per 800 of assessx
ed valuation, as against S1.S56 last
year, an increase of the average tax
rate of the State of four cents.
The average tax rate is important
because the railroads pay taxes on
their main stem franchise and othe
property outside of seeond-class
property, on this basis.
The report also shows that public
property OF municipalities and church
and charitable property in the State
exempt from taxes aggregates $751;
499,546, but ventures no figures on
the millions and millions of property
escaping taxation because of its being
In non-taxable securities.
That the wealth of New Jersey lies
in real estate is apparent, as the re-
port shows that of the increase of
S120,837,321 over $144, 100000 is taxed
against real estate.
Some radical recommendations are
embodied in the report for the con-
legislature as follows
First, that assessment district BE-
made coextensive withsthe counties of
the State
Second, that local Assessments be
made by appointive boards of cornty
assessors in all taxing district cut
side of first and second class sites.
Third, that all persons emploveq in
assessing work be appointed by the
county board from civil service lisfs
prepared in and confined to the resi-
dents of the county in which the ap-
pointment is, made.
Fourth, that bank shares be assess
ed at fiat rate Mniform throughout
the State and based upon capital,
surplus and undivided profits, with
reductions for real estate separately
assess as now, but without any al
low &c for exempt securities.
III, that household goods and
) sr-1 go effects be exempt from tax
Fl -
SiTth that intangible personal pro-
rertv be classified for the purpose of
ta~ati~N and that specific rates be APP
D'ied t the several classes.
Seventh, that the adoption of tax
maps be made compulsory within
three years and that the State aid in
their purchase.
