CONTINUE HEARING UPON
NEWARK LAND VALUATION
James A. Berry Believes Prop
erty Under-Assessed.

After hearing statements from
James A. Berry, real estate expert,
that property contiguous to the Four
Corners was assessed by the city as
SCISSORS at from % to 50 per cent. less
than its true land value, the County
Tax Board late yesterday afternoon
postponed further hearing on the
matter until next Tuesday after
noon.
Mr. Berry was testifying as an ex-
pert for James A. Mungle, secretary
of the board, who, as a private citi-
zen, had complained that twenty
eight separate parcels of property in
the heart of the city were under
assessed. Testimony bearing out this
contention was adduced at the recent
hearing of the Prudential Insurance
Company's appeal, and in yesterday s
hearing Mr.. Berry gave practically
the same figures that he did while
testifying for the city in the Pru-
Dental case.
Each one of the twenty eight pieces
of property mentioned in the COM
plants were separately appraised by
Mr.. Berry, and in every instance the
figures We're much higher than those
named by the city assessors. The
property involved is all the land on
the east side of Broad street between
Commerce and Mechanic streets. and
including the National State Bank,
at the latter corner, and land in
Branford place, Bank, Academy and
Clinton streets.
The banking and insurance COM
panies, as we'll as the private citi-
zens owning the property in question
were represented at yesterdays hear
ing by scores of lawyers.

SANTA'S BROTHER

Salvation Army Makes Chill
dren Happy With Dolls
and Other Gifts.

Riddles, so many of them that you
sizes. packed the Salvation Army
Hall. at Halsey and Cedar streets,
last night, where Santa Claus, two
days late, but nevertheless just as
acceptable, was dispensing gifts.
The hall presented a pretty appear
ance with its decorations and with
several Christmas trees brilliantly
lighted, and to say that the young
sters were happy is putting 1t mildly.
Bubbled Over with Pleasure.
They fairly bubbled over with
pleasure as Santa Claus and his
brother, impersonated for the occa-
sion by Captain J. E. Metson and
Envoy J. j. Nortman, gave out the
Christmas stockings filled with candy,
nuts, cakes and fruit and all the other
delicacies which delight the hearts OF
the children at this time of the year.
Dolls of all varieties, some so pretty
that you would almost fall in love
with them, and games of all sorts
were also given out by the dear old
saint and his brother.
Guitar Duet Adds to JOY.
Captain and Mrs. Goodchild, of the
Jersey City corps, were present and
helped the merriment along with
guitar duet, while the Central Pro-
vincial Quartet, of New York. took
the house by storm with their rem
dition of the popular airs of the day.
Several of the children also con-
tributed to the program of the eve
ming with songs and recitations.
The affair was in charge of Major
and Mrs. easier, assisted by the
members and officers of the three
local corps and Major Allen, of the
Industrial Home.

night awarded the contracts for the

sary for the Council to increase the

tracts could be awarded.

SAYS STATE SHOULD HELP
THE PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS
Atlantic city's Mayor Causes
Sensation at Teachers Meet.

ISDeCl8I 10 tme NtWdTA
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Dec 2s.-
Mayor William Riddle, of this city,
who took the stand that part Of the
school money in the cities. districts
and State should be given over to
Catholic schools, caused sensation
at the convention of the New Jersey
State Teachers Association yester-
day by advocating giving parish
schools part of the public school
money.
The mayor went further and said
that in Atlantic City, where the ap-
preparation for the city schools Is
turned over to the Board of Educa-
tion, a body whose members are
named by the mayor, ne would him
self recommend the allotment to the
Roman Catholic schools of part of
the total. The teachers received this
suggestion in silence, but applauded
earnestly when the wayor went on
to urge better sanitation in the
schools.
One of the speakers in the after
noon, DIR. Carolyn Geisel. of Battle
Creek, carried this discussion fur
teachers responsibility for the phys
teal welfare of the pupils.
Resolutions passed were of the ut
most importance to the educators Of
the State One urged the great need
In New Jersey of increased voca-
tional education, agricultural and in
dustrial, and a modification Of the
State law was asked SO that the
State may pay one-half of the cost
of maintaining vocational schools.
Another resolution urges the imme-
date establishment of two new nor
mal schools, the State having two
schools already.
Legislation was rec 0mmended to
broaden the provision regarding re-
tirement after thirty-five years SER
vice so that the law will not require
that teacher shall have been the
last twenty years in. one school. The
association voted in favor of State
wide institute next year that may be
attended by at least $500 teachers.

the Church of San Michael, which
were destroyed by the great earth
quake of 1908 and has since been
known as the charnel house, col
lapsed yesterday. Immense quanti-
ties of the bones of the corpses which

tirely and finally collected the bones
and carted them to a cemetery.
