Division Of the Congressional Union,

chairman
Mercy. no." Miss Conkle declared.
I'VE certainly will not kiss for in
fluence of votes.
1.-THE very idea is horrid Why,
thinking men know we are entitled to
the ballot and we do not have to kiss
them to win their favor. The plan
will not be adopted here.
Delaware suffragists are so strong
ly opposed TO the idea that they may
90 so far as to declare a moratorium

In other words suffragists are not
going to sell OF give kisses for funds

PRODS ARDEN ON
Low Assessment
New Rent Schedule Claimed
by Mr.. Andrews to be on
100000 Value
COUNTY PUT $4,000
APPRAISAL ON LAND

That the county assessment on
Arden is about $4,000. while on the
basis Of new rental system just
recommended the value of the land is
about 100000, as a development at
town meeting of residents of Arden
last night Arthur n. Andrews and
others who opposed the increase in
rentals prodded the single tax adj
,ocates in the meeting because they
did not show consistency by asking
the county TO increase the assessment
10 the land value estimated on the
new rental basis
Joseph Cohen presided over the
monthly meeting The townsmen,
Messrs Downes. HoefIlcr and Wool
cry. submitted a lengthy financial
report on which they STATED that the
financial records had been kept in
loose manner. and they had at
tempted to devise a better method
George Brown. he Of philosophical
anarchist fame, moved that the re-
port be printed After some discus
sion the motion was voted down.
Later Don Stephens moved that the
townsmen be given a vote OF thanks
fer their work Brown opposed this
motion, saying that inasmuch as the
meeting already had "bagged' the
report he saw no reason why the
townsmen should be PRAISED The
motion to thank the committee was
adopted, however.
The board of assessors submitted
a report advocating an increase in
rentals of approximately thirteen per
lt Then followed an animated
discussion in which Messrs Brown,
Kramer. John Smith. Assistant City
Solicitor Albright of Philadelphia.
and Andrews took part. The report
finally was adopted
During the discussion it was
brought out that the rental basis
meant a land valuation of approx
mately 100000 for Arden. while the
county assessment is $4,000 on the
property. Mr.. Andrews said il seem
cd to him that the single takers of
Arden who always were prating about
Justice in taxation were "skinning'
the county out of much taxes due it
on the basis of valuation fixed by Ar
den's own assessors. Chairman Co
hen remarked that city methods of
taxation were to be applied.
Andrews suggested that the county
assessor be called i'm TO have a just
county assessment made.
After the meeting Mr. Albright ex-
pressed the opinion that the land
value Of Arden was 100000.
