MAY RAISE PROPERTY ASSESSMENTS.

That property assessments in Hunterdon County may
have be raised forty cent within another year or SO
is the interesting prophecy of County Solicitor Harry L.
Stout in communication published in many OF the county
newspapers last week.
Mr. Stout calls attention to the rapidly growing IN
debtedness of the county account Of the building OF
macadam roads, The county is bonded for $3.50
for the building ofroads and further issue OF Soo wv
Is being oated for 1914 bringing the total to O0O
accumulated since the building of the first road in 1905.
He says that it costs about $500 per mile per year to
maintain these roads, or total Of about $780, 600 per year
by the time the roads under contract are completed
While the state pays forty per cent of the total cost OF
the roads, and the municipality pays ten per cent the
county is obliged to carry practically the whole load for
considerable period as neither state municipality turns
over any money until the highway is complete and &C
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1914-12-03

copied by the state This necessitates continual
ing upon the part of the county to take care Oh e pay
ments as they come due
Mr. Stout points out that the county tax rate IS now
40 cents per 500 of valuation and that the maximum ~
allowable bv law is but 5Oc so that the only solution, II
continue to increase for two years at the present
rate is to increase the assessments of property about forty
per cent. NO ooo
In other Words if your property assessed at
now it would be raised to ST. 800 farm assessed Tor
81 900 now would be raised to S., 600.
To avoid this extremity, Solicitor Stout suggests that
all new macadam road work be held up for year. or until
roads now under construction completed accepted and
payments made by the state and municipalities he rec
ogzes as one of the greatest obstacles to this delay the
opportunities of people who want an improved road
through their section without any further delay and asks
that they be willing to defer their ambitions for year.

It sounds like good logic, and is worthy of most care

SH0EMAKING IN AMERICA

More than $S5O,OOO.00O is now in
