The league is against the bill which
the City Council tried to have passed

STETSON REBOl
BY HIS COLLEAGO
Plan to Gust Appointee Again
Meets With Dis
favor.

Councilman Henry 7. Stetson -
still looking for sympathy. as well as
support, from his Democratic col
leagues in the Orange Common Coun-
ell in his efforts to GUST Patrick Deig-
nan, second assistant to the comp
troller His latest attempt in this
direction went for nought, as three
of the eouncilmen ignored his invita-
ton for a conference, and three of
the four others left when he preached
his plan.
The conference last night was in
Mr.. Stetsons office. President Fin
eran and Councilmen Dolan and
Quinn, who did not appear, did not
even acknowledge receipt of Stetson's
invitation, 1t is said. knowing the
purpose of the conference. President
Fineran recently denounced Council
man Stetson Tor proposing such a
plan to his colleagues, because, he
said, Stetson was responsible for
Deignan's appointment by combina-
zion of insurgent Democrats and Re-
publicans.
Councilmen Smith, Casey. Free
man, Condron and Gallagher APP
peared at the conference. They were
only in session a shcrt- time when
reporter for the Star was asked to
leave. A few minutes later Council
men Casey, Freeman, Smith and Con-
dron walked out of the room. 1t is
said that before leaving they re-
buked Stetson for his efforts to GUST
Deignan after having been instru-
mental in landing him the job.
Councilman Stetson will probably
have to wait until the regular meet
ing of the council before bringing up
his plan again.

SUGGEST CHANGES
IN TAXING SYSTEM
Orange Civics Club Will Submit
Economical Plan to City
Officials.

Taxing problems and the apprentice
law were considered last night at a
meeting of the Orange Civics Club.
The members favored both the meas
ure allowing a larger number oH
trades apprentices and the recon:
mendations of the executive COM
mittee.
One of the suggestions made was
that the number of assessors might
be reduced under a system Of taxing
both improved and unimproved prop
critics. Properties in Main street,
Cleveland street and Essex avenue, in
one of the most valuable districts in
the city, we're used for illustration.
The committee reported that the
valuations were separated in such a
way as to make entirely feasible the
gradual reduction of taxation on i'm
provements and the increase of land
values by the exact amount of re-
duction of improvement values until
the sum produced will stand for
actual land value rentals.
The map also would show exemp-
tions at the actual valuation of the
property escaping taxes, for reason
of charity or church work and uses,
so that the citizen can see at glance
how much he is contributing to the
associations by paying their taxes for
them. The report states he could
then better regulate his giving of do
nations. The map reports concerning
the streets show but two unoccupied
lots, and this fact was utilized by the
committee for the following recon-
mendations:
Instead of taking the time of a
number of men for a number of days
to go all over town to verify things
that could be seen almost at a glance
from the records of building inspec-
tors books, it would be far better to
discontinue the old political plan,
which was to furnish jobs for as many
people as possible and enter upon the
plan naturally suggested by a bust
ness administration" and get one
good man to take some time to go
over the Improvements and give his
appraisal of them, and leave the
others at the figure which is ON the
records with some slight percentage
of decrease for ordinary depreciation
of property values as the improve
ments age.
This would occupy but small
amount OF the time of a competent
man, who could dispose of the rest of
his time to other nearby towns, cities
and villages and give them all equally
good service A business administra-
ton would also include appeal from
the decisions of this appraiser, not to
board of appeal politically consti
tuted, but to a board of the home Off
Gals, comprising the comptroller, the
chairman Of the sinking fund commits
sion and one real estate man.
