THE VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS
OPEN ON MONDAY, NOV. 1st

The Atlantic County Vocational
Schools in Agriculture will begin
their second year on November LIST, at
which time, class work will start in
five sections of the County. Consid-
cradle interest has been manifested
by the farmers throughout the whole
County and the enrolment already
exceeds the first week of last year
by one hundred percent.
A slight change has been made in
established. The school previously
held at Bargaintown has been moved
to Pleasantville, the change being
made for the purpose of making the
school more accessible to a larger
number of students. The Cologne
school has been moved to Pomona and
a new centre opened in Germania to
adequately take care of the enroll
ment in these two sections. The last
two schools will be under the direct
supervision of one man who will con-
duct half day sessions at each centre
a day. Locations at Minotola and
Hammonton remain the anne. The
same general system of instruction
will be followed again the second
year. that of studying the individual
problems of the farm on which the
student lives.
Heretofore the efforts of the Coun-
ty Vocational Board has been confined
to the teaching of farming to the boys
and men. Beginning on Monday, No
vember LIST, a Vocational School for
girls and women will be opened in
Hammonton and continued for a peri
cd of six weeks, after which the
school will be opened in other locali-
ties of the County for like periods.
The work in the Home Making class
es is especially designed for those
women who are actually concerned in
this work in their own homes and in
no sense will it be taught as a pre-
vocational science. Enrolment al
ready includes women in the various
walks of life and is not confined to
any one group.
With the experience of the past
year to work upon and with the in
creasing support of the citizens of At
lantic County backing them up, the
work in Agriculture and Domestic
Science looks forward for a successful
Vnap

will furnish sufficient water for a pop
ulation of 10000 900 people. The
proposition should be considered from
a water supply standpoint
Unless the Wharton Water Tract is
purchased at this time there is a
strong probability that it will be sold
to private interests and sub-divided
into small tracts, which will make it's
future purchase for water supply pur-
poses impracticable and at a very
much enhanced price, even if acquired
by condemnation, and introduce new
elements and additional population
which would endanger its use for po-
table purposes.
The people of New Jersey have re-
allied within the last few years the
Importance of State ownership of the
potable waters. The State Water
Supply Commission has been making
it's fight against the greatest odds.
Selfish interests have been at work on
all sides to retard the proposition of
State ownership and State conserva-
ton, and the Commission warns the
people of this fact. This is the first
opportunity that they have had to
help conserve the water of the State
and it is their duty as citizens to look
forward and protect themselves and
families, and to vote in favor of this
referendum on November second.
New York has spent $250,000,0 900
for water supply; Massachusetts has
spent $91, 000, 900, New Jerse-- has
spent nothing.

Somers Point, N. j.,

~ 6CtA1 1O4O
| wish to defend myself against the
%untruthful and misleading charges
made in the Somers Point Record
in its issue of Saturday, Oct. 23rd,
1915, purporting to have been made
by Lewis B. Matthias.
Charge Rank favoritism has
been shown to one political faction of
Somers Point, while on the other
hand the assessor has in practically
every case increased the assessment
of property owners belonging to the
rival faction.
No man has been raised or lowered
in value because of his politics; the
facts are that there are more cases
of reduction on property belonging to
people who vote different from me
than there are on the ones who vote
as / do. Anyone who wishes to verify
this can do so at the Collectors office.
Charge 2.-That the riparian rights
along South Bay Avenue from the
Holmes property to New Jersey Ave
nue. has been assessed in a manner
purely political; the supporters of
one faction favorable to the assessor
at the rate of ten dollars per front
foot and the supporters of the faction
opposed to the assessor $40 per front
foot.
Every case of assessment in the RI
parian rights referred to is assessed
exactly as it was last year except the
ones reduced by the County Board of
Taxes, all of which are noted on last
years Duplicate. If you want to
know who fixed the value on them
last year, just ask the Tax Collector
to show you the assessment on Page
II of the First Ward Duplicate, then
ask him to turn to page SO and show
you the signature of Oscar Doughty
to the affidavit and of Lewis B. Ma
thias, Commissioner of Deeds for
New Jersey and ask yourself who did
all the writing, signatures included.
Charge Nc. 3.-The lots facing Bay
Avenue in the Gibbs tract have been
assessed much lower than lots on IN
improved streets at Launch Haven.
The only lots facing Bay Ave. on
the Gibbs tract are parts of lots Nos.
%, SO, IA, 120, and 149, each 1916
feet wide, and Nos. %, 81, 70, 121,
148, each 6.54 feet wide; they are as
sessed as follows: No. %, $1,000
No. SO, $4,000; No. IA, $4,000; No.
120, $50; No. 149, $50; No. %, $1,000;
No. 81, S21.0O; No. 70, $21.O0; No.
121, $21.00; No. 148, $21.OO; a total
of $4,000. Last year these same
properties were assessed at S289.0O.
He specifies no particular lots at
Launch Haven, but if he means the
property of Mrs. NJ. Frances Matthias
| quote you some assessments: No. 90,
50x150, $3.50; No. ia, 57x150, $4,000,
corner; No. lis, 5Ox15O, $4,000; No.
116, 50x15O, $3.50; No. 1T, 57x15O,
$4,000, corner, but why dwell on this.
Just ask Mr.. Henry B. Gillingham how
much he paid for 100x100 fit. out of
numbers 116 and III.
Charge No. 4.-That some buildings
have not been assessed at all and that
poll taxes have been overlooked in a
number of cases.
Same thing happened last year and
if there are any this year l do not
know of them, but will be pleased to
have them assessed if brought to my

To the TAXPAYERS of SOMERS POINT /:

notice. l did not assess the NJ. P.
parsonage which was assessed last
year. To this I plead guilty.
Now, as to the reduction in assess
ments of E. A. Higbee, A. H. Higbee,
Deither, James Clark, Jane T. Collins,
Louis Gemmi, John G. Miller, L. Pitt
man and Samuel Davis, are all as
sessed at the same ratio of value as
other lands adjoining theirs, the basis
of which along Main Avenue l took
from the value of the adjoining lots
on the opposite side of Main Avenue,
and if there is any difference in val
ues, the opposite side is worth the
most; any school boy knows that. AS
to A. F. Kappella's property, it is as
sessed much higher than the cleared
land adjoining his, being in lots, while
the other is acreage. Now take Louis
Steuber and Charles j. Collins; their
values are no higher than others ad-
joining them. The truth is l only put
back what was taken off from them
last year.
Take Mr.. Steuber's value on the
place where he lives, for instance, as
sessed thus: 50x152 N. W. Bay, $3.50
for lot, $4,000 for house; contract
price paid for the house was $6,0O0.0 90,
If | have been properly informed since
making assessment.
Now take Mr.. Charles J. Collins
assessment of 100000 for the ZEN
tire Bay View grounds; that is ex-
actly what it is assessed for this year.
Last year it was reduced to $780, 90.
In 1913 it was 100000 and he made
no complaint to the assessor. Why
should he when he is able to raise
$18,500 on it and asks $42, 00O.O cash
for it? He also swore on his oath
less than three months ago that it
was worth $25, 100000.
Now about the forty foot roadway
of the ocean City Bridge; l never
made any such assessment. as
sessed the Ocean City Auto Bridge
| Co. for Road from Main Avenue to
draw bridge, including u of the Draw
Bridge, for $10,000.O0. Last year it
was not assessed 100000, as he
states, but was only assessed $1,000. 90.
wrote the above named Company a
letter asking them to give me their
value and also wrote the Cape May
County Board of Taxation a letter
on the same subject, but received no
reply from either. I made some in
quiry and learned that the Draw alone
cost $27, 900. 90, one half of which is
in Somers Point. The taxpayers of
this city paid about $495.O 90 for sur
facing the road, and it still belongs
to the Bridge Company.
If have erred in my judgment, I
am only human, and they have their
redress before the County Board of
Equalization of Taxes. In closing, I
wish to say, do not believe these
statements of mine until you have
verified them from the City books and
if you find l am correct, then you
cannot believe the statements of a
man who tried to usurp the highest
office in this City.
