Heard Annea1s

The State Board of Equalization o
Taxes met in Camden Wednesday anC
listened to appeals from assessments, SOM
Of which came from this county
The first taken up was the Delaware
River Water Company which thought 4
had been unjustly assessed on its pipe il
Beverly township. The company appeal
ed to the Burlington county board and thu
latter, after hearing the statement OF the
appellant, decided that the value placed
on the pipes was not too high. This die
not satisfy the corporation and an appea
was taken to the higher body The
evidence presented to the state board
brought out the fact that the price of pipes
figured by the company was about the
same as that fixed by the county board.
The case of Frederick Schrayshuen was
considered. This was an appeal from an
assessment of $500 on ice house property,
which the owner asked to have reduced tc
5000.
The Burlington SilkMills appealed from
an assessment of $4,000 on property In
Burlington, asking to have the amount
cut down to $4,000. Eckard p Budd re.
presented the appellants. The CITY did
not have counsel present, nor was there
any objection to the claim of the appellant.
On the contrary, Mayor Farmer and l.
Snowden Haines, chairman of the finance
committee, were witnesses to show that
the silk mill people had not been treated
fairly.
The Mayor testified that he had pur-
chased tract of land on the outskirts of
the city, land which for 200 years had
been nothing but wilderness. The Silk
Mills company had been requested to re-.
move its plant to Elizabeth and other
places, where glittering offers of land and
exemption from taxes had been made. In
order to keep the industry in Burlington
the Mayor gave the company seven acres
of his bowling wilderness as an induce
ment to remain. He paid about 800 per
acre for the entire lot. He built several
houses and intends to put up more. The
PAASO VI tAO ldHu Adc AHCIcdS0u 10 &lOU per
acre. He thought the assessment of
$50, 900 was entirely too high, and recalled
other factories in Burlington fright in
the heart of the city," which were assess
ed at about what the land would bring, no
account being taken of the buildings.
The Mayor placed value on the proper
ties he referred to, fixing the figures on
his experience as dealer in real estate.
The testimony of Snowden Haines was
about on the same line. He thought the
valuation was too high. He admitted his
bank held large amount of the bonds of
the Silk Mill company, but he did not
think the property was sufficient security,
the bonds beingg guaranteed by a strong
firm.
Richard Mott, president of the Burling-
ton City Loan Company, gave similar
testimony. His institution also has a good
block of the bonds.
The appeal of the Delaware River Water
company was dismissed. The assessment
on the property of the Burlington Silk
Mills was reduced to $40, 600 81 900 being
placed on the ground and $4,000 on the
hnildfnp

Bows, Athletic Contest.

With over 200 contestants representing
score of towns all over the county and
an attendance of an least 300 people, the
county Y. M. G. A. athletic meet at James
Haines' farm at Descon's station on Satur-
day afternoon, proved to be one of the
most successful events ever held in the
county. In the county Y. M. @. A. class
the Columbus Association won first place
by score of IS points, thus emitting
them to the Burlington county athletic
meet banner, also the county committee
loving cup for most points as an associa
ton group. The Bridgeboro and Mount
Holly associations followed 10 second and
third place. Palmyra high school was the
winner of the high school class with
Mount Holly and Moorestown close rivals.
The Burlington Boy Scouts Fox Patrol
were the winners In their respective class,
with Seal Patrol of Burlington and Wolf
Patrol of Beverly following in order. In
the Grammar school class Mount Holly
easily won first place over Riverton and
Burlington, who took second and third
places. The creased pig contest proved
very amusing to all present and was an
important event for the small boys. All
events were run of In remarkably good
time with contest for all of the fifty
events. No accidents occurred and every
body went home happy. 1t is hoped that
athletic meets of this kind may be held in
several parts of the county another year.

The Prudential First.

For the last fourteen years In the matter
of writing new business In the state of
New Jersey, the Prudential has led all the
companies doing business In the state.
Two Items conspicuous in the year 1911
were the amount of business issued and
paid for in this state, which exceeded
$39, 900, 900, and the claims paid in the
state, exceeding $2,600,000. This con.
tinued leadership of the Prudential In itE
home state is certainly an indication Of
the confidence and trust which the people
of New Jersey repose In 1t. That Is mo-
surprising when the fact is borne In MIND
that the company has In force in the STATE
of New Jersey at the present time owe
one million three hundred thousand pai(
for policies, equal to over one-half tn
population of the state.
