but, as we said before, these valu-
atoms alone have no significance,
their relative importance depending
on the rate of taxation.
Returning to the tax relating to
Cleveland the assessment in 1910 for
city purposes was made as follows:
valuation for city corporation pur-
poses (not including city school pur-
poses), $274 ,978,615, with rate of 1.36
per hundred
Valuation for city school purposes,
SIT, 156, $50, with a rate of 1.33 per
hundred.
'Thus on a population OF 560,663 the
per capita of assessment for the city
corporation tax was $490.44 and the
per capita of assessment for the city
school tax was $494.31.
Against the city corporation per
capita of assessment there was a rate
of 1856 per hundred, making the per
capita of tax levy for city corporation
purposes $3.50.
Against the city school per capita
of assessment there was a rate of LIB
per hundred, making the per capita
of tax levy for city school purposes
$6.574.
Adding these together gives the
sum of Sl3.243, the city purposes per
capita or the tax levy for 1911.
another misleading matter i'll the
tables referred to is worthy of atten-
ton.
A Misstatement.
Accepting the per capita of as
sessed value for Newark given in the
News as $992.48-a misstatement-as
being near enough to the true figure
for comparative purposes, we find the
tax rate used to produce the 1855
mentioned by the News as the city
purpose per capita Of the tax levy was
$1.6725, which rate includes the county
tax rate Of 1854, which should be de-
Quoted from the 1.6725, leaving a city
purpose rate of 1851 for the year
1910
Using this proper city purpose rate
on the News figure of $9924S, the APP
proximate per capita of assessed
value, we arrive at the sum of $12.77
as the per capita of the tax levy for
city purposes, and assuming that
there are no more errors In the figures
given by the News, the arrangement
of the sixteen cities, according to the

WILL ASK $4,000
TO PRESERVE FORT
Morristown Commission to Pc.
tition Legislature TO Repay
Patriotic Citizens.
Especial to the Newark stnr.I

MORRISTOWN. Jan. 13.-The Fort
Nonsense Park commission is pre-
pairing TO make an aggressive cam
paign for the appropriation Of s25.-
900 by the next Legislature for the
purchase Of the site Of the park sat
Morristown. Petitions are being pfc
pared asking for the appropriation
to make the site Of Washington's
camp in the winter Of 1779-S0 a State
park to be forever preserved as
shrine Of patriotism.
It is contended that it is particu-
larly fitting for the State to do this
as Morristown is rich in historic
lore and not only has the Washing
ton headquarters. maintained by The
Washington Association Of New Jer-
sey, but has still another building
used by General Washington while
his patriot army was encamped here.
Two winters General Washington
spent in Morristown. his army en-
camped along the hills to the west
Of the town.
The petitions prepared recite that
"Our Legislature appropriated S250o0
Park site but too late in the session
to include the item in the general
appropriation bill that would have
authorized its immediate issue. The
Fort Nonsense Park commission, APP
pointed by Governor Fielder. thus
lacking funds. the new owners of the
site, the i. 4. Weber Co, ignored the
States notification of its above pur-
pose and proceeded to carry out their
intention of developing" it into a
Suburb" by cutting down many of
its trees, ploughing up its hillside Tor
streets. and the like, until its natural
beauty is largely wrecked.
THE destruction was still going pu
when to cut it short. as there was
much vet 10 save. two private citi-
zens pledged themselves to advance
for the State, prior to the receipt OF
the s25 600. money sufficient to enable
the commission 10 make a cash offer
for the property based on an appra1s-
al made as a public service by a COM
mittee Of citizens of much experience
in real estate matters and OF high
standing After correspondence and
an unayailing conference, proposed
by the commission. its offer was re-
jected by the owners. so under the
act condemnation proceedings are
being instituted.
This has saved the park site from
further devastation but has imposed
heavy burden on the citizens con
cerned, as they will have TO advance
| funds for the condemnation expenses
before the receipt OF the State appror
propriation. having to advance the
money for this purpose. Ordinarily.
where park sites are under attack,
year or two of delay in the issue
of an appropriation may not matter,
but in this exceptional instance il
surely seems only right to relieve
these citizens of their self-impo8o
/ burden as soon as possible. II Is
! therefore hoped that the already Ru-
| thorized SIS, 900 viii be included in
the general appropriation bin for the
current season" -

.sIn the introduction of the said
editorial. while 1t does not attempt
to controvert any of the facts in my
statement explaining our local tax
alton and the necessity for a larger
measure of home rule to better
Newark economics and development,
in an attempt by inuendo to assail
my motives in making the statement
it insinuated that the one thing that
must be insisted upon is that there
shall be no misstatement.'
ITO those even slightly informed
on municipal taxation the per capita
of assessed values alone are mean
.ngless-to the uniformed they are
misleading-and can be made TO
easily deceive the gullible. There is
much misleading in at least two or
the items used in the above tables
that needs explanation and correc-
ton.
1.-THE valuation of the real and per-
sonal property of the city of Cleve-
land is given as $274,970,605. In fact,
this is the assessed value of the real
and personal property against which
was levied the city-corporation as
sessment, not including the city
school assessment, which in the
Cleveland tax system of that year
was a separate assessment on a total
valuation of $277, 1856, $50. These sums
should be taken together as the
assessed value for all city purposes,
making total assessed valuation of
S552, 1874 1876, and the approximate per
capita valuation of S98476, instead of
e490.44. 1t was the Gust ON in Cleve-
sand prior to 1911 to assess real
property on the basis of so per cent.
of the true value, which would make
comparatively low assessment
value, but would naturally cause a
high tax rate, which in 1910 was S.4S
per hundred of assessed value for all
purposes.
THE assessment of the city of
Cleveland, as given in the News
table, is 274,97O,605, being a so per
cent. assessment; full-value assess
ment would make the total SASS, 1884,
S41--and, in fact, the reported as
sessed value for the same city in
1911 on an so per cent. basis is given
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1914-01-13

From the figures given by the
News it would also appear that Jer-
sey City is more fortunate than New
ark in its per capita rating. In or
der to arrive at this misleading con-
clusion, the News used only the city
tax rate, excluding the school and
county rate, while it saw fit to in
clude city and county rate in the
Newark figures.
Comparisons of figures are not al
ways conclusive; they are, however,
fairly so where proper calculations
are made, and from the figures given
above, resulting from the use of all
proper factors in the calculations, 1t
is apparent that the administration
of the city of Newark compares most
favorably with the other fifteen cities
reviewed.
1.-THE editorial also quoted Mr.. MI
gent as saying That Newark, while
paying upward of 65 per cent. of the
county tax, had but three representa-
tives on that board What 1 did say
was that on the finance committee
Of that board, charged with the COM
pilation of the budget, the city OF
Newark has but one representative,
while it pays upward of 66 per cent.
of the taxes of the county and OF the
State school tax"

70 recreate the Holy Land!

To recreate the Holy Land
That is the Immense project now to
be undertaken by Nathan Straus, one
of the greatest of New York merchant
princes. Straus, with his two sons
Nathan, jr., and H. Grant Stratus
have just retired from the firm of r.
H. Macy & Co., in New York, to
devote all their energies to bringing
Palestine into the full realm of TWEEN
tieth century progress.
Within few days Nathan Straus,
jr., will sail for the ancient home of
the Jewish people to take up there
one part of his fathers Unexplained
philanthropy-to try by installing
modern sanitation systems there
largely to prevent sickness among
his people. Father and son are both
ardent Zionists.
A great suite of Offices has already
been equipped in New York for the
carrying on Of the commercial end of
this great project, and hundreds of
letters and applications for aid are
now on file. The senior Straus will
divide his time between this office
and the Holy Land.
In his plans for rehabilitating Pal
estine Straus includes the establish
ment of complete sewage systems, a
totally new water supply, the most
modern health and sanitation bureaus.
milk stations and soup kitchens, as
well as clinics for the treatment of
various scourges.
The urgent need of such work is
shown by an article in the current
issue of the American Medical Asso-
citation. 1t says:
in Jerusalem, a city in which one
out of every five of its 10000 inhab-
itants carried the parasite of malaria
in his blood and three-fifths of the
population give evidence of enlarge
ment of the spleen. These facts, so
striking because of the enormous
amount of preventable disease and so
pathetic because they mean SO large
loss of human usefulness, are not
hearsaY figures. They are facts.

TRUST SEEKS TO
CONTROL CLANS

would sell their stock direct to them,
they wouldn't have to worry ABOUT
collections Of money nor bother their
heads about getting customers and
that their money would be as good
as gold when it was due. They put
up such a good argument that so
impressed the Highlanders, they i'm
mediately agreed to ship all Of the
available stock of hard CLAIMS to New
York and If that worked well they
would consider shipping the soft
CLAIMS.
That was Just what the men with
the ready cash wanted and as a re-
suit many local dealers and restau-
rant keepers found themselves short
of stock, and no intimation as to
when supply would be forthcoming.
While at present it would be i'm
possible for the average person 10
see much harm in this arrangement
still to see the true light they must
go back a few years and learn the
history of the sale of soft clans
hereabouts. There was a time be
fore the wide use of steamers which
was known as free lunch
time" Then only few ship
ments came to this city, or
any other city in New Jersey, and
those that did come here We're
shipped to points along the Long
Island shore. Then the soft clam
became popular as lunch in this
State and the people handling them
found that by purchasing the
Shrewsbury stock they not only got
a better grade of clans but a much
cheaper one.
MiddIeman Eliminated.
The shippers of New York didn't
like the idea of losing this business,
but they were never able to recover
lit, as clammers and customers were
working together and the middle
man was cut out, and out to stay as
Everybody thought.
Now this is the situation as seen
from here. II the trust gets con-
troll of the Shrewsbury clam every
man handling them will have to go
to New York for their supply. and
instead of paying 81 barrel and so
cents expressage. as they do now.
they will have to pay the middleman
his profit of whatever amount. he
cares to make it, and then pay ex-
pressage to New York and back to
Newark again, using this city as an
example.
A conservative estimate of the
added cost is 81 a barrel. which
will have to be paid by the people
of New Jersey. Not pleasant thing
| to think of when the Shipment fire.
lquentiy runs to 100 barrels a day
out of the Highlands
Now, that Is our side of it, as one
consumer states it; but what about
the -clammer? What will become of
him If the trust gets control? Won't
they force the clammer to accept a
lower price per barrel? If they do,
won't the clammer have to submit or
else begin all over again and pick up
his Jersey trade at a great expense
And if the consumers refuse to pur-
chase their supply from the New
York people, won't it be the means Of
killing a valuable New Jersey indus
try?
Nine-tenths of the supply is pur-
chased by saloon keepers who give
the CLAIMS away. and If they started a
crusade they could very well put a
stop to the practise of dispensing the
clans over their lunch counters and
the few that are used by private

"In the light of present-day knowl-
edge the pictures of the primitive
sanitary arrangements that still OBJ
tain in ancient Jerusalem would fur
nish an interesting object lesson. AS
might be expected, notwithstanding
mosquitoes reign supreme. Their chief
breeding places are the eisterns which
provide the water supply from the
rain on the housetops."
Strauss philanthropies in Palestine
have not in the past been restricted
to persons of his own religious faith,
and have not been conducted in any
sense of the word as religious or
racial Undertakings. His concern has
been, and will continue to be, he says,
with humanity and the alienation of
it's sufferings through proper preven-
tive and curative health measures. In
Palestine the Jewish, Christian, and
Mohammedan population alike has
shared and will continue to share in
the benefits Of his works.
