OLD COUNTY TAX BOOK
HERE QUITE A CURIO.

. There is on exhibition in the
: office of the sheriff a tax book
: under the regime OF James NJ.
: Monroe as sheriff in 1875, Just
forty years ago. 1t is real
curio. Very well bound in old
; style, it is well preserved. but
; 1t is very small compared with
; the present tax books. This
; particular tax book contains
; about 1000 receipts and covers
both Clark and Union districts.
Showing the growth OF the
; county since those old Demo-
: cratic days, attention is called
; to the difference in size OF that
: old book and the present tax
; books, the one for Clarks dis
trict now alone containing more
than 5000 receipts.

The great develop ment of the city which is so rapidly going on makes an opportun- ity for valuable ser vice by this Commis- sion at this time which will probably never occur again on such a scale, and at the same time 1t neces- !. sarily requires con- siderable expense for clerical assistance, real estate and other advice, preparation of maps and plans. and similar work.
