fourteen undecided appeals, which

Their evidence or argument with the

judgments entered by the board,
amounted to $20174 $685..
A number of important decisions
were rendered by the board this year
including the appeals under chapter
27S, laws of 1918, regarding exemption
provisions for buildings used for edu-
cations, religious and similar pur-
poses which the Mount Holly LODGE
No. s4S. of Elks. and others brought,
claiming exemption for their proper

peals from assessments were denied.
The report enumerates a number of
other unusual appeals decided.
The first instance In which a COM

act known as chapter 120 of the
laws of 1906, providing that "Iu case
any assessor or person charged with
reviewing assessments in any taxing
district in the respective counties,

during the past year. The in |
stance resulted from two complaints |
filed by the Atlantic County Board |
OF Taxation AGAINST the assessors Of |
Somers Point City under the act re- |
ferred to. and the assessors made |
defendants were dismissed after due |
hearing.
The returns for 1914 show the eff |

more accurate assessment, and one |
which lends itself more readily to
adjustment in case OF dispute be-

power.
THE work of mapping the entire
State under the tax map act of 1913
is progressing steadily" the board
says In its annual report. New sur
veyed maps are In course OF prepa~
ration in a number of taxing dis
