TO MAKE CAT PAY
FOR ITS BIRD MENU
Legislature Is Considering Bill
to Charge License Fee for
Feline Pets.
FROM a star correspondent

TRENTON, n. j., March 26.--De-
termined efforts are to DE made at
this session of The Legislature TO
pass the bill of Assemblyman FISHER,
of Essex county. providing for the
licensing of cats. both male and fe-
male When similar bill was intro
duced at the 1912 session it was killed
by the failure of the legislators to
appreciate the necessity for action
that would aid the State Fish and
Game Commission in its fight TO save
the game of the State from the depre-
dations of the predatory feline.
The bill provides that a license fee
Of 81 a year shall be charged for all
cats maintained within the borders
of the State. and it is further pro-
vided that unlicensed cats shall be
subject to destruction by the proper
authorities. It Is believed that this
will mean the end of the wandering,
preying cat, which admittedly de-
stroys more birds than any other ami
NAL.

SUSTAIN ACTION OF
ESSEX COUNTY OFFICIALS
Assessment of $4,000 Levied
on Church Property to
Stand.
frrom a sian Corresrondcnl.l

TRENTON. \. j., March 26.-rhe
State Board OF Equalization Of Taxes
today handed down decision dis
missing the appeal Of The Roman
Catholic diocese of Newark from an
assessment of $4,000 levied upon the
new Cathedral of the Sacred Heart,
in Newark, which is now in course oil
completion.
The decision sustains the action OF
the Essex County Tax Board in or
dering this property assessed. ne
state board bases its decision largely
npon a ruling of the supreme Court
ip the case of the Institute of Holy
Angels VS.. the borough of Fort Lee,
which is reported in 81 Nroom. page
5s5. in which it was held that "a
building in course of erection intend
cd to be used for a charitable pur-
pose. but not actually used therefore,
is moi exempt from taxation
The state Board of Equalization
holds that this rule is equally APP
plicable for building intended to
be used for a religious purpose, and
the state board further finds that
the facts in the case do not establish
actual use of the structure that is
now located upon the site of what
is TO be when completed the new
Cathedral of the Sacred Heart
The assessment levied and which
Is sustained was for the year 1872 and
consisted of $4,000 on the ground and
900 upon the building.
In the appeal to the state board
from an assessment of $4,000 on the
building and land of the National
Turn Yerein of Newark the State
board a1irns the assessment and
holds that the property does not come
within the description Of properties
exempted from taxation in the gem
eral tax act
In the matter of the appeal from
the assessment on the Newark In
dustria Home, located in Newark
and owned by the Salvation Army
fi1e state Board OF Equalization holds
that the property was improperly as
sessed and that, therefore, the assess
nent should be Cancelled. The State
board finds that the property comes
within tho exempt class of "all build
ings used exclusively for purposes
considered charitable under the com
mon law"
