ASSESSORS RAPED
BY SCHOOL BOARD
Retaliation of Railroads o
Little or No Benefit, Com
mittee Reports.

TRENTON, Nov. 2.-The State
Board of Assessors came in for an
other scoring at the hands of the
State Board of Education today. This
came about through the adoption by
the State Board of Education this
morning of a report presented by it's
advisory committee, which consists II
William S. ~Schauffer, the educational
boards president, and John p. Muir
ray, of Hudson county.
FiSst of all, the advisory commit
tee recommended that an appeal be
taken to the encouragement from
the refusal of the State comptroller
to approve a bill of $50 contracted by
the State Board of Education for a
memorial on the death of Edward
Russ. a member of a former Board
Of Education.
The State comptroller did not ques-
ton the expenditure, except upon
strictly technical grounds, as it was
generally recognized that the memo
rial vas a fitting recognition of Mr..
RUSS labors in behalf of education
in the really important part of the
report of the advisory committee had
to do with the committees criticism
of the State Board of Assessors.
This report set out first that the
State Board of Assessors on October
% filed the final assessment against
railroad property for 1911, and that
on the following day the State comp
troler apportioned for school purposes
among the several school districts
81, 1853, S44.27. The report goes ON to
say that all of this money, with the
exception of 2,S05. SO, is now on de-
post in the State treasury.
The railroad companies, it is point
ed out, have ninety days in which to
institute certiorari proceedings, and
in the meantime the comptroller can
not and will not distribute this
money. The report of the advisory
committee goes on to say that the in
crease of. these taxes in 1911 over
1910 represents nothing but the nor
NAL growth of the wealth of the
State. The committee adds: ut is
doubtful, therefore, if as a result of
the revaluation of railroads the
schools are any better, If as we'll, off
as if no r~evaluation had taken place."
The committee in it's report con-
tinues and says: "The committee does
not feel, in view of this showing,
was justified in its delay in ignoring
that the State Board of Assessors
was justified in it's delay in ignoring
the law and failing on January 10
last to file its final assessment"

"JOY-RIDER' WHO TOOK
AUTO QUICKLY CAUGHT
Arrested Three Minutes After
Complaint Is Made.

Three minutes after the police were
notified to look out for an automobile
that had been taken from a garage
on a 10y trip" the "joy-rider'' and
the a We're at the Third precinct
station.
"A fellow that works in my garage
took an automobile last night, and
has not returned" said George Zipp.
manager of thine Bergen Garage, 316
Bergen street, to Lieutenant O'Neill
at the Third precinct at 1915 O'Clock
this morning. SIS he a negro?' asked
Conrad Bechtel, chauffeur of the
police automobile, who remembered
az mar trying to borrow some gaso-
line about 6 o'clock. BechtePs de-
scription of the fellow tailed with
that of the missing 'joy-rider."
Bechtel Immediately reasoned that
If the fellow had tried to borrow gaso-
line at the station-house the car could
not have been far away, and, if such
vas the case, he would probably be on
a street used frequently by auto
mobiles. Lafayette street fitted into
his theory, and the c~hauffeur-de-
t~ective and Patrolman STICKY started
out on a hunt.
A block and a half from the station
on Lafayette street near Van Buren,
was found the abandoned automobile
In a saloon near by they found Lloyd
street, the missing employee of the
garage. According to the police, in
the 'joy riding" party was an EN-
ployee of the county Jail.
Egbert was locked up pending the
arrival Of the owner of the auto
mobile, DR.. Isadore Rettig. of 22'
Hunterdon street.

BETWEEN TROLLEY CARS

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2.-Caught
between two swift-moving trolley
cars Rocco Mittoli, of Newark, N. j.,
a medical student at Jefferson Col

bruised but sound.
Mittoli chased n a and caught
it, but was still on the running board
When the other came whizzing along.
Spectators say hat with a firm hold

that had either car stopped he'd have
fallen to the street and perhaps been
crushed to death.
The name of Rocco Mittoli does not
