TAX CRITICISM IS
UPSET BY NUGENT
Declares Tables Published We're
Misleading and Grossly
Incorrect.
REPLIES TO ATTACK
MADE BY ENEMIES
City Counsel, at Meeting of Sec
ond Ward Improvers, Re-
flutes Statements.

Two comparative tax tables, used
in an editorial of the Newark Eve
ming News last month. were criticized
by City Counsel James r. Nugent as
misleading and grossly incorrect, last
night.
Mr.. Nugent analysed the tables in
an exhaustive address before the Sec
ond Ward Improvement Association,
at 80 Court street.
The city counsel's refutation of the
News figures was intended to answer
the political innuendoes made in the
editorial against Mr.. Nugent. He had
spoken on Newark's taxation and had
urged a larger measure of home rule
for the city, at the testimonial dinner
TO former Alderman Donnelly. The
News subsequently, in an editorial of
December 90. assailed his motives, so
Mr.. Nugent said last night.
In its editorial, the News gave one
table purporting to show that New
ark had, with a single exception, the
largest per capita assessed valuation
of sixteen cities ranging in population
from 225,000 to 100000. Another table,
based on the first, showed that among
fourteen cities of about the size of
magnitude of it's per capita tax levy.
The inference was, of course, that
Newark did not compare favorably in
its taxation with many other cities.
Mr.. Nugent said that the tables
were utterly fallacious. He asserted
that Newark really stood thirteenth
in regard to per capita valuation and
fourteenth in regard to per capita
tax levy.
His talk follows:
Tables Published.
"In an editorial under the caption
Newark Valuations and Taxes,
published in the Newark Evening
News, on December % last, it was
attempted to show some comparisons
as to taxable values in Newark and
other cities, alleging that out of six
teen cities with populations ranging
from 225,000 to 100000 there was only
one other where the per capita as
sessed valuations was as high as in
Newark, and as an illustration of
this contention published the follow
ing tables:

Boston Voting for Mayor

BOSTON. Jan. 13.-Boston voters

to serve four years. Both candidates,
Congressman James NJ Curley and
Thomas j. Kenny, president of the

this morning Although there were
no party designation on the ballot,
both men are Democrats. Mayor John
F. Fitzgerald was not a candidate

Hears Church Bells After Long Deafness

Here's a hypothetical case. For
the first time in years this good lady,
who has been deaf, hears the church
bells. She is in ecstasy. Only this
morning has she been able to hear
the prattle of her grandchildren and
the voice of her daughter. Twenty
three years ago she first found her
self becoming deaf, and, despite nu-
merous remedies, medical advice,
hearing devices and specialists treat
ment, she found it more and more
difficult to hear or late wears she

New Jersey should take leaf from

corner the markets as they would a
tiger. They have every reason to
know the ma bits Of the trust and its
agents. They know that instead Of
the clam-dfgger getting an even
break, he gets about one-third Of
the money that the consumer pays
for his supply. while the trust gets
one-third or more and the clammer
has to pay the freight They know
that every place that is fast in the
hands Of the fish trust never gets the
best Of the bargain.

Moot Civilized Nation.

The question (Which is the most
civilized nation on earth?'' is difficult
to answer. Civilization is very elias
tic term and is understood differently
in different times and places. In sci
entific attainment, education, wealth
and all the things that go along with
wealth the United States, Great Brit
ain and Germany would appear to lead
the procession, with some other ma
tons following closely; but, taking all
things into consideration, eliminating
the sole matter of wealth, the most
civilized country on earth is probably
Norway In that far northern land the
ideal civiliZation-that is, the civiliza-
ton that rests on common sense and
juStice-seemS to have matured to a
greater extent than it has anywhere
else.-New York American.

Semiprecious Metals.

1t appears from recent geological
survey publications that the semi
precious metals are copper. lead and
zinc. Where quicksilver and tin get
off on this classification we are not in
formed. Aluminium also sometimes
sells higher than the three first men
toned and anthony for more than
lead and zinc. These are probably the
quasi precious metals. When we were
younger the metals were classed as
precious and common. we believe Now
probably iron is alone in the com
mon category. What is the use any
way-if there are no privates in an
army what is the joy in being a cor
poral. and why ''semiprecious' if there
is going to be only iron besides ?-En-
