Delaware Bridge Wanted.


The annual summer meeting of the
Burlington County Board of Agriculture
was held on the home farm of Horace
: Roberts, near Fellowship, on Wednesday.
One OF the principal topics discussed
was the erection of a bridge between
/ Camden and Philadelphia. With the
volume of business between New Jersey
farmers and Philadelphia dealers increas-
ing every year, and the automobile
traffic between the two States at this
point doubling itself annually, speakers
declared that no ferry service could be-
gin to properly handle the traffic at rush
hours. Injurious and expensive DELAYS
to trucks and teams delivering perishable
farm products are sure to continue until
the erection of the proposed William
Penn bridge provides remedy.
s'It is only necessary to stand at the
Camden ferries any evening from now
until October to witness the condition
that confronts farmers in seeking to get
products to early markets." commented
David Henry Wright, promoter of the
bridge project, who was called from the
audience to talk on the progress of the
bridge campaign. 'There is a difference
of opinion as to whether a bridge or
tubes should connect the two cities,''
said Wright. '"There is no reason why
such centre of traffic should not possess
both kinds of gateways. We commuters
shall be glad to see tube, but we insist
that the greatest and first need is a
bridge. A tube won't help farmers to get |
teams and auto-trucks in and out of
Philadelphia; tube won't help the !
thousands of autoists now held up by |
an inadequate ferry service. Only a |
bridge can solve this growing problem. |
Every farmer this side of the Delaware .
and every dealer and consumer on the !
other side should lend every ounce of
their influence to hasten the building of
the William Penn bridge"
DR.. Franklin Dye, secretary of the State
Board of Agriculture, told the farmers
the progress toward closer union be-
tween producer and consumer is too slow,
and urged his hearers to bring more pres
sure upon their political representatives
to work out some sane solution serving
to effectively eliminate an excess of
middlemen. Secretary Dye said the
farmers of this county had usually been
first to make their power felt on the side
OF every great reform movement, and de-
clared the present day is presenting
problems that must be viewed without

An Old Document.

William F. Morgan, president of the
Burlington County Board of Taxation,
was, last week, exhibiting book which
he was justly proud of and which was
quite interesting. 1t was tax duplicate
of Chester, Delran, Riverside, Palmyra
and Cinnaminson townships and River
ton borough. The assessor was John d.
Beck. What salary he received is not
stated but he did the work of preparing
the duplicate in addition to doing the
valuing of property, ruling the paper
and writing each item at an expense of
possibly rs cents, while the duplicates
now used cost in the neighborhood of
800 and comprise large volume for
each place, while that of 1910 was not
much larger than an ordinary wallet.
easily carried in coat pocket. In the
book there are Ill names and AZ of those
are Lippincott, which family seemed to
predominant in that neighborhood.
The assessments were made on the fol-
lowing basis. Land, IA per cent. of valua-
cattle, 20c; householders, zoe; single
men, ~; gigs and chairs, 30c; sulkies,
lOc; wagons and dearborns, 25c; carriages,

age in those days had a fishery and it
was worth while to make specific assess
ments. 1t will be noticed that the sug-
gestions recently made that bachelors
should be taxed was not new idea for
in 1S40 single men had to pay tax of 50
The total amount of the duplicate was
not added but it was not large, for it is
shown that the townships share of the
state tax was but $16s.O9, and its county
tax was ST, 1856 To make comparison |
it might be sufficient just to refer to the |
amounts paid by the present township
Of Chester, which, in 1913, paid $40, ,022.3S
for state school; $22, ,412.3S for county; |
and SAT, ,283 for township purposes. Quite
. contrast is also noticedin the amounts |
required for state and county purposes
m 1910. Then the county appropriation
was $4,000, double what the Board of
Freeholders agreed to raise on Friday
ust for road purposes. The country
covered by the 1910 book is now valued
1t nearly $10,00O,0O0.
