FARMERS PROTEST I
HIGH TAX RATES
Property Owners of Brookdale
Object to Paying Without Get
ting Improvements.

Eighteen appeals from valuations
in the Brookdale section of Bloom
field, aggregating 100000, were heard
by the Board of County Taxation at
the Court House yesterday. The re-
auctions sought tota1ed $45,74O. more
than az per cent. of the valuations
as fixed by the Bloomfield assessors,
Decision in all cases was reserved.
Adrian Riker represented the pro-
testers, all of whom appeared before
the taxation officials and explained
the reasons for the reductions they
requested. The residents of Brook
dale must pay forspolice and fire pro.
lection, sewers, street lighting, and
other improvements that are made
in the centre of the town, yet they
received absolutely no benefit from
them, Mr.. Riker declared in sum-
ming up.
1.-THE section has no paved Streets
no trolleys, no sewers, very few
lights, no police protection and prac4
tically no fire protection, still the
property owners there are assessed
on the same basis as those in the
centre of Bloomfield who have all
improvements" he said.
In some cases cited to the tax board
by Individual petitioners the valua-
ton this year had jumped 100 per
cent over last year. Other increases
almost as large were complained OF.
When asked about the engine house
and volunteer f1rehouse, one farmer
said that no one in the town ever
knew when there was a fire because
there was no alarm of any kind to
sound.
He told the board that neighbours
house burned down one night, but he
knew nothing of it until he received
the Evening Star the next day and
read about the fire. He created q
laugh when he said, 81 read it and
went to the window and looked down
the road apiece, and, by heck, it was
right, all right, the house was
burned"
Some of the compliments swore
their land was swampy and Of prac-
tically no value One owner said the
land adjoining his, in Montclair, was
valued at 800 an acre, while his own
plot in Brookdale was rated as being
worth 1915 an acre.
A farmer, who seemed particularly
Disguised with the valuation of his
farm, said that oftentimes Ire felt
like selling it at the assessed amount
If he could get it. Ibid you ever get
up about o'clock in the morning
and go out in the cold and find that
the hired men hadn't got UP yet?
Well, it's tough. and you'd sell II you
were me-" he told the board.

clusively in last nights Evening Star,
voiced their own sentiments on the
matter
Rev. John A. Westman, rector Of
st. Stephens R. c. Church, Arlington,
made the following statement: Men
who do not attend any church and
men who for years have not heard
the word of God preached oppose the
motion picture houses. This / learned
by speaking to such men. The men
of the Holy Name Society of this
church protest against not only the
granting Of license, but the thought
of even considering the matter. They
are opposed to such form of amuse-
ment.
"It is questionable as to the man
agement of these places because their
purpose is questionable If all care, III
communities have found objection t.
| this style of entertainment II would
| be better for this community to urofit
| by the findings of other and refuse
the license. It is a dear recreation for
| shop girls, in many cases. 1 am de-
cidedly opposed to the scheme" con-
cluded the priest.
Rev. Robert T. Graham, pastor OF

one will help the morals of our com.
munity. 1t will be a mistake tc
grant the license, but I suppose those
in authority will grant it, regardless
of objections offered. once the license
is granted we can put no censorship
on the pictures"
Rev. w. S. MCGOWAN, pastor OF

IT favor showhouse If 1t is properly
conducted. 1 have Travelled consider

cases. 1t is up to a censorship board
to keep the pictures right. Thu
moving picture house is what vol
make It,"
Rev. DR.. Robert M. Aylesworth
pastor of Arlington M. E. Church
Arlington, gave out the following
statement: II have nothing agains
moving pictures, unless you get con
siderable oppos' ton, and that is wher
a trouble commences. think tn
moving picture house helps to keel
men out of the Saloons and in tn
public schools of New York the pic
lures are being shown regularly, bu
do believe there should be a stric
supervision as to the nature of tn
pictures. Children under sixteel
should be excluded from thes
places"
Rev. ]. Franklin Shindell, pastor o
the First Baptist Church, Arlington
said: II am opposed to any sucl
license. ] think we have enough
moving-picture houses in town "
Rev. William A. Coombe, pastor o
the First Presbyterian Church, Ar
lington, said; 81 haven't had time +
consider this matter, but I will sa,
that I don't understand how licens
can be granted for a movip-pictur
