Howard Cooper, son of Mr.. and

about two months ago. He has
been in gas attacks and has since
also suffered from shell shock. He
was at first confined in a French
hospital and later was removed to

have done something before the Coun-
ty Board, and for which negligence he
was twice repremanded by Member
Buckles of the County Board who
charged him with plain neglect of
duty. In the matter of going to the
State Board, Mayor White was even
more neglectful of the public interest.
He never went at all, though it was
common talk that Edgewater had TAX
en- the bull by the horns when the
County Board baked, and headed by
the best men of that river town, went
ahead as though effort was triumph
in the beginning. And that is what
happened. They won, by getting a
cool million and over taken off the
top.
On of the most prominent men of
the Hilltop section said this week on
the subject of taxation:
Eyes agree with you that your bor-
ough has fallen down most inglorious-
ly, notwithstanding it's Mayors many
promises of reform and proper ac-
counting to the people of his steward
ship. Too much politics, opine. Too
much politics. You see politics are
the oil of our civic governments, and
the people are the water. They won't
mix. You have got to have differ
ent chemical balance to get the right
kind of results. Unfair political as
sessments are too prevalent Take
the Sanford Ross property. That
piece of work should be an everlast-
ing shame to your borough. 1t was
finally sold for the largest acreage
value of any piece of property ever
traded in your section. 1t brought
fancier price than much river prop
erty is worth in the very heart of the
river front of Hoboken and Jersey
City. Think oft away up there in
Coytesville, miles away from any
where, and yet bringing the stagger-
ing price of $22,500 an acre, and act
ually assessed at scarcely $4,000 per
acre. You do not need any more
practical illustration than that of
what radically bad system we are
operating under at this time. I hope
Mayor White is an honest man, and
that he really does not really know
what is happening right under his
nose. He must be in ignorance of
facts when he permits the taxpayers
to be Disseminated against in this
manner by an assessor who will not
see thing when it is placed right be-
fore his eyes. I should think he
would go off and soak his head in the
bilge barrel"
that no attempt was made before the
State Board to get the assessment
lowered.
