WOULD ABOLISH
STATE TAX BOARD
Sweeping Changes in New Jer-
sey's Assessment System Rec
commended by Commission.
ocontinued from First rase9

county and municipal purposes from
the beginning of present fiscal years
up to the succeeding January l. Then
the taxes which are now paid around
December 90 would become payable
after January l, and would become
available for the current year then
beginning. With this plan in opera
ton, if desirable the taxes could be
collected in installments instead of in
bulk at the beginning of the year.
To Reorganize County boards.
In the plan for the reorganization
of county tax boards the special COM
mission recommends that oRe of the
members of the county board should
be called a county assessor and
should give his entire time to the
duties of his office and to have gem
eral supervision of the work of local
assessors. Associated with him would
be two others, not of the same po-
litical party, who would not give
their entire time to their work and
whose functions would be primarily
those of sitting with the county as
SCISSOR in cases of appeals.
With respect to local assessors it is
recommended that where present
taxing districts are not large enough
to require the assessors entire time
they should be consolidated for as
sessment work only and that the as
SCISSORS should be appointed by the
county tax board under civil service
regulation.
Other recommendations give the
State Board of Equalization of Taxes
almost unlimited power over local as
SCISSORS and should have authority to
make and enforce all rules necessary
to secure a compliance with the laws
of the State with respect to assess
ments. 1t is recommended that this
State board should formulate units
for the assessment of various classes
of property, standardizing books, tax
bills, etc, and appoint State as
SCISSOR and an assistant whose duties
il would be to visit the different sec
lions of the State and inspect the
work of the local assessors. The
State board is to have power to COM
pei the installing of tax maps.
President Jess, of the State Board
of Equalizatio of Taxes. who is a
member of the special commission
whose recommendations were filed to-
day with Governor Wilson dissents
from the recommendation which inn
poses upon the Public Utility Com
mission the determination of the
value of the physical property of rail
roads and public utility companies

DOUBTS POWER OF

Atty. Hardin Does Not Believe
They Can Act on Mungle
Tax Appeals.
COMPLAINTS OPEN WAY TO
CHANGE ENTIRE SYSTEM
Two Witnesses Heard at Ad-
iourned Hearing Held Today
at Court House.

Of the County Board of Taxation,

r. r. Guild expressed 1t, with Presi-
dent Jerome 7. Congleton represent

the interested property owners.
John B. Oelkers and William T.
Afacksey, members of the board
were unable to attend, owing 10 Ill

informal one, during which John X
Hardin, representing the Weingarten
brothers, Realty Company, owners OF
the property at the corner of Halsey
street and Branford place. took occa-
nion to state that he did not believe
fha county board was empowered to
act on the complaint made by Mr..
Mungle.
Mr.. Hardin said: "These complaints
are inspired 1 will withdraw the
word inspired and use the word
suggested by the appeal of the Pru-
DENTAL Insurance Company, and the

affected by what the board may do.
He has paid his taxes for 1912 and
thew cannot be changed by any action
taken here.
This inquiry opens the door to
change the entire taxing scheme OF
the CITY of Newark. l do not doubt
that If the complainant so desired he
could find thousand parcels of land
scattered in all parts of the city that
are under-assessed.
Il do not believe it was the inten-
tion of the law to give the county
board the right to change the en-
Sire taxing scheme. as it would tend
20 do if the board opens the doors
for complaints from aggrieved citi-
zens who are not financially interest

power extends to appeals only. The
present action is not an appeal; 1t
