WOULD DIVIDE
MONMOUTH co.
Movement Started In ksbury
Park for Split.

Asbury Park, June 7:-Facts and
figures, exactingly compiled attef
months of laborious research, were
presented by City Assessor Arthur
II. Hope to a number Of Interested
taxpayers at North Asbury engine
house Wednesday night to show that
Asbury Park and the shore taxing
district from tho Raritan to the
Manasquan too long to have borne
the burden of the upkeep of the
county. The shore district, 1t was
shown pay S341,463.62 of the coun-
ty budget as against ~$57,082.77 paid
in 1911, the shore received in bene-
fits at the hands Of the county COM
mlssioners s50,923 as against $780,
49S.47 received by the inland town
ships. The result of last nights
meeting likely will see an agitation
for a division of the county-East
| Monmouth and West Monmouth,
with Long Branch as the shore coun-
ty seat.
The division of the county Is az
follows. The west section, the town
ships of Upper Freehold, Milestone.
Manalapan, Marlboro, Matawan.
Freehold, Atlantic and Howell. On
the east section would be Raritan,
HolmdeI. Middletown, Shrewsbury,
Eatontown. Ocean, Neptune and
Wall.
In presenting his figures Mr.. Hope
said:
by way of comparison between
the eight inland and the eight shore
townships, take first the acreage:
The eight inland townships consist
of 169,069 acres, the east eight
townships consist 1929 acres. The
comparison OF land and improve
ments and personal will not be given
for the reason that five districts
in the west and three districts in
the east are not sub-div1ded, or the
valuations Of the above items are not
separated from the total assessment.
The net valuation Of the inland dis
trict is s1~2,959,625; the total Of the
east district Is s83,538,49S. The
state school tax, for the IL west
taxing districts is s33,657.56; for
the "a taxing districts on the east
is $214, 926.67. The county tax paid
by the district west is S~53,0S2.77;
the amount paid by the district east
is ~41,463.62, or about sever times
greater. The total amount received
from the county commissioners in
the II taxing districts west was
$75,498.47; the total amount re-
ceived from the % taxing districts
east was ~s50,923.92. 1t is readily
seen that the districts west received
for road improvements $4,000,
more than they pay in on taxation,
and the shore district received about
one-seventh of the amount paid in
from taxation. The amount expend-
ed by the west district for local
was s92,726; the amount ex-
pended by the east taxing districts
was $1,101,495. The population Of
the inland district Is 20,749, the
population Of the east district Is
74,196. The county vote at the last
election in the eight inland town
ships was 1867, and on the shore
district was 1856.
