BANK STOCK LAW
IS A DOUBLE TAX,
OFF|C|ALSLEARN
Watsessing Bank Case Reveals
Weakness-coHfIicts With
General Law.

That the bank stock taxing law
conflicts with the general tax law
was admitted BY members Of the
State Board for the Equalization Of
Taxes, which met here to hear ap-
peals today.
This statement was brought out ID
the argument on the appeal of the
Watsessing Bank, OF Bloomfield, to
bank stock reduced $6,SO0 1t was
claimed The real estate which the
stock represented had already been
assessed by the Bloomfield assessor,
and that the stock Was therefore
doubly assessed.
President Lucius Russell, of the
State board. explained that the ques-
ton which had arisen in this case
had been discussed when the bank
stock law was before the Legislature
previous to being made law. The
matter he said. at that time was
taken up with the governor and at
torney-general, but when the bin be-
came law the defects which were
pointed out before its passage were
included in the act.
The county board, which is vested
with the power to tax bank stock,
placed a valuation on the Watsessing
Bank stock of S7,5s6.9S. allowing
81, 200 for real estate which the bank
then owned. This was on August /,
the time set by the law for assessing
the bank stock.
Building Erected.
Since August 1 building was erect
ed on the vacant property and the
assessment by the Bloomfield assessor
was placed at $4,000 The $500 re-
duction asked on the bank stock rep
resents the difference between the
50, 200 allowed on the assessment by
the county board and the IS, 900 ASSESS
ment placed on the real estate by the
Bloomfield assessor.
In arguing that the county board
followed the only course it could take
in the matter, President jerome T.
Congleton pointed out that the board
took the figures of 1914 as the basis
for their assessment.
David Bingham, who represented
the bank. said the bank had paid the
assessment on the $500 difference
which was asked. and which amount
ed to s5l, to the county collector, un-
der protest on the ground that they
were paying double taxes.
The matter was taken under advise
ment.

said. and twenty-five new men have

are not employing strilke-breakers. as
some people think, bur our new men
are principally from this city. We
have received notice from the rail-
road companies that they would have
their tracks and especially their
bridges guarded, so that no further
trouble would occur similar to that

with dispatch. except that for New

future the New York wagons would
