LOWER TrTLE-sEARcHING FEES

L
Bill Sc, introduced last week in
the Senate by Mr.. Slocum, of Mon
mouth county, is of great interest to
real estate owners and those who
want to be. The bill reduces the cost
of making searches against titles 25
per cent, and also reduces other fees
now allowed by law to county clerks
for services rendered the patrons of
their office.
The reduction in these charges, so
far as they concern the county, ought
to result in a larger volume of busi-
ness being done by the county clerk,
for which the county receives the rev.
enue. To people who do not under
stand the conditions here we will
state that the Monmouth Title Com
pany will give search and guarantee
it for much less sum than the
county clerk in his official capacity is
permitted to do. This results in di-
verting from the county treasury to
the title company considerable
sum during the course Of the year and
the change in the law as proposed
under Senator Slocum's bill should
result in an increased amount of bust
ness being done directly with the
county clerks office.
While the reduction of 25 per cent.
seems a large one, yet another 25 per
cent. could be cut from the present
rate, and still the work could be
profitably done When the county
clerks office was conducted under the
fee system the charges for an uncer-
titled search ran from 80 to Sc per
cent. less than the legal fees, while
for certified search they were one
half of the legal fees, so from this
schedule II can be seen that Senator
Slocun,s bill could with justice to
everyone be amended to conform to a
rate so per cent, less than the pres
ent rate.
It is to be expected that title COM
panies and lawyers generally will op-
nose the bill, but. it should receive the
hearty support OF real estate men and
those whom the lawyers cannot con-
troll. "

FOR TAX REFORM.
assessor Rogers Recommends Inn
proYements in Administrative
Method.

Mr.. Henry NJ Rogers, assessor for
the borough of Tenatiy, Bergen county
has sent communication to Senator
James A. C. Johnson, strongly oppos-
ing senate bill No. Is, known as the
Pierce tax bill. He says that with
proper management more can be ac-
complished under the present laws
than could be hoped for from new
law, however comprehensive, if there
is no improvement made in admins
tration He made the following sug
gestions
First. Eliminate politics and put
this most important branch of our
government on businesslike basis
Second Have one thoroughly able,
tried and true man to represent the
State as commissioner of taxes; he to
engage expert assistance, not con-
tinuously or as sinecure, but to help
him as needed in doing the work now
done by the State board of Assessors; /;
to hold office during good behavior; !;
compensation liberal. The appoint
ment should not be to anyonne seek
ing that office, for the proper man will
not voluntarily offer MS services.
u.
three members appointed by the gov
ernor on their fitness and not because
OF party affiliations or self-seeking;
to hold Office during good behavior; !;
salary not less than $4,000 per year
to have a secretary at fair salary,
but not as much as the members OF
the board All to give their full time
every business day. The president Of
each board should meet at Trenton
with the State commissioner to dis
cuss ways and means at least once
each year Members of the boards
must visit every assessor in their re-
spective counties each year, to see
that each is working under some ap-
proved method, and to view various
pieces OF property in each taxing dis
trict, check up books and give proper
assistance where needed. A complete
record should be kept by the board
of all such work.
Fourth. Assessors to be elected as
now or appointed by the mayor or
governing body of the taxing district,
whose salary should be commensurate
with the work required. (The amount
specified in the Pierce bill is exorbi-
tant for most districts.) The assess
ors to be thoroughly instructed by the
county boards, and if not efficient
should be removed at the request of
the county board.
The enactment of multiplicity of
laws without any serious effort being
made toward their enforcement, really
weakens the respect of all citizens
for the statutes upon our books, and
that one fact comes near to being our
greatest evil.

Women of Chicago have always re.

In reality the idea of making the

CATTLE STEALING
IN WILKINSON Co.
Wholesale Tefts Arouse Farmers, Who
Meet Today to Plan Pro-
lection.

Cattle stealing is becoming so COM
mon in Wilkinson county that a mass
meeting of farmers is being held at
Woodville, the county seat, this after
noon for the purpose of planning pro-
tective measures.
Numerous thefts of cattle have been
reported to the authorities during the
past few weeks, frequently ten or fif-
teen head of cattle being run off at
a time, but thus far local authorities
have been unable to obtain clue to the
identity of the thieves.
It is stated that since the first OF
the present year hundreds of head OF
cattle have been stolen from Wilkin
son county owners. One stockman
states that he has lost fifty head, and
has not been able to get the slightest
trace of them.
While no threat of this sort has
been issued, the quiet and determin
ed manner in which owners have sci
about to apply the necessary remedy
to check the thieves indicates that Wig
ilante methods may be adopted in case
the cattle rustlers are captured.

The officials of the Citizens Bank
state that several hundred persons
witnessed the demonstration Satur-
day of the burglar alarm system just
installed in the vault of this bank, and
the completeness and perfection Of
the alarm device have occasioned
much favorable comment.
The demonstrator for the company
installing the system, Mr.. Noel, ex-
planned in ever detail the working of
the alarm showing that at no point
was there any possibility either of
the system being made imperative by
a burglar, or of any one gaining access
to the vault without the sounding of
an alarm which can be heard for many
blocks.
1t was shown that on every side
walls, ceiling and fioor-a fine mesh
of wire completely encloses the vault
so that the slightest attempt to pene-
trate the vault from any direction
Immediately throws the alarm into op-
Grafton Likewise the door is protect
ed so that the least tampering with
the combination or any attempt to
insert nitro-glycerine or other explos'
i've in the door would result in setting
off the alarm.
In short, it was convincingly shown

Burglar Alarm System
Attracts Much Notice

by the demonstrator that under any
and all circumstances, an effort to
burglarize this vault in any manner
known to yeggmah ingenuity newt
ably results in the operation Of the
burglar alarm.
In the case of the daylight hold-up,
of which the danger Is extremely re-
mote, the company has made ample
provision, by means of switches SO
situated that the alarm may be set on
by the foot of the cashier. the assist
ant cashier, the paying teller or the
bookkeepers, thus bringing to the res
cue of the banks force the entire
police force Of the city.
The installation of this system, with
it's perfection of detail. has excited
much favorable comment, and the OIL
cials of the bank express themselves
as highly gratified not only with the
favorable impression that has been
made but most especially because OF
the absolute protection that is afforded
from burglary.
While the demonstrator will OF
course not be present on any other
day, Mr.. Ballard states that he or any
other of the banks employees will be
delighted to explain the working of the
system to any who did not have the
! opportunity to call on Saturday.
