AFFILIATED COUNTY TRADE BOARDS.
PROTEST AGAINST SPENDING FUNDS.
OF COUNTY ON COUNTRY BY-ROADS.
Declare Money Comes From Cities
and Should be Spent on Main HIGH
wavs Where All Get Benefit
COMMITTEE FOR EXPOSITION

Believing that the tax money of
the cities of the county should not
be used by the Board of Freeholders
in building small roads or tributa-
ries in the townships, and following
the statement Of Anthony J. Geb
hardt, president of the Board of
Freeholders, that there are now some
twenty-five petitions on file for such
by-roads which they could not see
fit to grant, the Affiliated Boards of
Trade of Middlesex County passed a
resolution upholding the freeholders
in not granting such petitions and
protesting against further building
OF tributary roads in townships. This
was the quarterly meeting of the
in the parlors of the Packer House
in business session, following which,
at 10 O'Clock, the Perth Amboy
Board of Trade were hosts at
sumptuous dinner to the visiting del
egates from the other civic organiza-
tions of the county. Delegates were
present from the civic bodies of New
Brunswick, South Amboy and this
place.
The affiliated beard took the posi-
ton that the cities of the county are
paying for the side roads and "by-
paths" of the townships, while the
townships do not contribute to the
building of city roads, as state
law forbids the freeholders to con-
struct roads In the cities. The
board wanted to give the freehold
ers assurance that 1t Is with them
in refusing the petitions for by-roads
which Mr.. Gebhardt mentioned dur
ing the meeting the county board
had refused to grant. John Hanson
offered the motion which embodied
a protest to be communicated to the
Board of Freeholders against the
building Of any by-roads; only the
building and maintaining of main
arteries of traffic" D. P. Olmstead
seconded the motion, which was un-
animously carried. The board felt
that 1t was the duty of the cities to
contribute their share to building
main roads linking different parts
of the county and connecting the
cities.
After considerable discussion of
she advisability of holding a civic
convention for civic and trade board
organizations, business men and
manufacturers of Middlesex county,
the delegates seemed In favor of the
plan and a committee of nine was
appointed by President Albert Leon
to set date, fix place and arrange
for the convention. AS set forth by
Mr.. Leon the assembling OF the civic
and business interests of the county
in convection ia to bestir enthusi-
asm which will rebound to the ad-
vancement OF the interests of Mid
dlesex; to present an idea to the
public Of the scope of work being
done by the different civic organi-
cations, and to give an opportunity
for a mprehensive discussion of
questions Of vital Importance to
every community In the county. It
is proposed that some well-known
speakers be procured, who are famil-
lar with civic and trade board or
ganization work, so that the conven-
tion may be the means of enlarging

CITY TAX RATE THIS
YEAR WILL Be S1.98
DROP or FOUR POINTS
Estimate bv President Voorhees, Of
County Tax Board From FIGURES
on Hand--2 Districts Missing
VALUATIONS OVER MILLION MORE

in 1912 and s18,318,936 in 1911.
President Voorhees, estimates the
county rate will be about AT this
year, which is about six points low
er than 1t was last year. According
to his calculations with figures OBJ
tainable thus far the state school
tax will be rs. 1t was .2508 in
1912. Calculations indicate that
the local tax will be $1.26, which Is
approximately three points over that
of last year, 1t being $1.2366. These
figures go to make up the local tax
rate, which it is believed will be
$1.9S per 800 or $3.50 per 1000.
The abstract of ratables for 1912
showed the following: Real estate,
$13, 1872; second class railroad,
$1,368, 8,548; personal estate, $4,586
255; state school tax, $48, ,067; coun-
ty tax, $102,230,
Revaluations have been made In
the Borough of Highland Park and
the Township of Raritan, fifteen and
twenty per cent. respectively, having
been added. 1t was concluded that
the valuations in those districts had
been made too low in proportion to
hose of other municipalities

Perth Amboy's tax rate for 1913
Will be about $1.98 per 800, which
Is four points lower than the pres
ent rate, according to the calcula-
tions of President William D. Voor-
hees of the County Board of Taxa
ton, from the figures now on hand.
The valuation In two districts of

point, If any. Books from those
districts will be returned to the
county board on Monday and rates
for the various taxing districts about
the county will be fixed at meet
ing of the board Tuesday
Valuations throughout the county
have been increased approximately
$5,000,0 900 this year over 1912 and
a little more than million dollars
in this city. Tax officials say the

caused by new buildings and added
facilities The net valuation tax

the views of the interests assembled
and be productive of new ideas for
a greater and more far-reaching
work of the different organizations
Of the county. Mayor John J. Nor
rison, of New Brunswick, assured the
board that the New Brunswick Board
Of Trade would cooperate in the
holding of such a convention. He
thought the plan good one, and
believed that probably by the dis
cussion Of certain potent problems
near the heart of the taxpayer might
bring forth solutions. He suggest
ed discussions of the tax system,
which is deplored as being in bad
shape" Edwin @. Roddy promised
the support Of the Board Of Trade
of South Amboy, and John Pfeiffer,
vice president of the local Board
of Trade, stated that he was sure
the county board could count on the
support of the Perth Amboy board.
The following compose the commit
tee of arrangements for the con-
vention: Mayor John J. Morrison,
of New Brunswick; Frederick Del
bert, of South Amboy; John Pfeiffer,
OF Perth Amboy; Mr.. Deering, of

wick, and Mr.. Clayton, of South Riv-
er. President Leon is an ex-ofiieio
member of the committee.
President Gebhardt, of the Board
OF Freeholders, was asked to speak
on the roads of the county. He gave
synopsis of the county road ex-
tension. He said that there are 245
miles of roads in Middlesex, and the
board is keeping them in repair as
well as their finances will permit.
He stated they are about to build
three new roads, the Roosevelt,
Woodbridge and Bonhamtown roads.
He said that the Roosevelt road had
been delayed because of the plans
having been, for some unknown rea-
son, not accepted Immediately by
the state. He stated that the days
Of macadam had about passed and
said that the Roosevelt road will
have a concrete base with an ame-
cite and dollarway top, and that the
repairing of the top Of same will
only cost about thirty-fve cents per
square yard. He stated that the
board had recommended that $15,-
900 be appropriated from the state
motor vehicle license fund for Am
boy avenue and New Brunswick ave-
nue., but did not know why work on
improving these thoroughfares had
been delayed.

KEYPORT GIRL
NOT L0CAT
AT KINGSTON
Brother of Miss Smeads
Sends Conflicting kilograms
Parents Still In the Dark
ARE SURE LETTER WAS
FROM THE GIRL
speciql to the EVENING NEWS.

Keyport, Sept. 13:-Lucy Smeads,
the local girl whose mysterious dis
appearance while visiting in New
York, and who was reported located
in Kingston, N. Y, has not been
found at all, according to latest ad-
vices received by the family here.
Conflicting kilograms have been re-
ceived from the brother OF the girl
receipt of letter purporting 10
come from her, and the parents are
at loss to understand them.
A letter, supposedly from the miss
ing girl, was received right after the
fact that she was missing became
public and her relatives claim that
it could not have been written by
anyone but the girl herself, owing to
the handwriting and familiar details
that it contained. This was received
Tuesday. 1t stated that she was in
good health and was employed at
Kingston, N. Y, and gave instruc-
tions to send her mail in care of
Clark.
Wednesday her brother, Roy
Smeads, went to Kingston and tele-
grams sent by him to his mother
stated that all was o. X, that he had
located his sister and she would
soon be home.
Yesterday another dispatch was
received from the son announcing
that there was no trace of the miss
ing girl yet. Kingston is being made
the point of search and an investiga-
tion of the Clark families is in pro-
gress.
The letters and kilograms received
giving such conflicting news have
again complicated the situation. 1t
is thought the brother. upon arriving
in Kingston, got clue which he be-
lieved was the right one and felt so
sure Of finding his sister that he sent
the message to his parents saying
she was located before he had actual
ly seen her, knowing that the parents
were extremely anxious for word as
soon as possible. Later he was evil
IDENTIFY disappointed and was finally
compelled to send the second tele-
gram, saying his sister was not
found. The parents are anxiously
awaiting more details from their son.
