Move to Have City Purchase
Alpine Cemetery Property
CONTINUED from page ~

In conversation with several of the
stockholders and with the Mesa 3.
Cutter it has been found hat they
are willing to dispose of their stock
and they readily fall in with the idea
of municipal ownership. The propo-
sition as it has been made to them
calls for the price to be paid for the
stock to be three times what it cost
in the original. or thirty dollars In
this way the sale price could be made
$4,000 for the entire stock.
The present officers and board of
directors for the cemtery at the pres
ell time are: Ephraim Cutter, presi-
dent: Hampton Cutter, treasurer;
Samuel Garretson, superintendent and
secretary, Ferd Garretson and James
Il. Noe.
There are available for sale at the
present time about 1000 plots, which
at the current average price of 500
a plot. could be made a big sourc of
Sections of the cemetery
could be sold to organizations or sects
as has been done already and individ-
ual purchase of property there, If the
ground was beautified, could easily
raise a large sum of money.
Outstanding facts about the ceme-
terry as it now exists are:
II is owned by the Alpine Cemetery
Association. M
1t consists Of about Is acres of
available ground.
The income from the project is now
turned into dividends to the stock
holders and a minimum sum is spent
In upkcep.
Many readily salable portions of the
cemetery could be, but have not been
opened to the public and from these
a considerable income could be de-
rived.
The city owes the Alpine Cemetery
Association a considerable sum OF
money for property taken over for
the burial of victims of Influenza in
the recent epidemic who were all
buried in one section.
Little or no work of Identification
is done at the cemetery. the services
of tho two employees being merely the
nominal upkeep ami repairs on the
propertyatogether with work on open
ing graves and laying out plots.
The city win be able to purchase
the property at 4 very nominal figure
far less than the actual value of the
land.
The business of running the propo-
s:tiGn can be made lucrative and at
the same time pay for the and and

purposes. can be opened up n a
large income be derived from it. This
can be made a source of revenue for
the owner of the property. In addi-
ton there are other sections whose
sale would render sufficient profit to
allow of tremendous improvement in
the physical appearance of the ceme-
terry.
The chief objection to ownership by
private parties now is the fact that
the income from the cemetery is
turned into dividends which are d.
yided among the stockholders. This
means that there is a minimum
amount spent for repairs. upkeep

As TO A

Getting introduced to the idea of a
new city hall or other municipal
building. as a fitting memorial to the
deeds of u gallant sons now coming
victorious back to u shores, is not
very pleasant.
And w. NJ. Menaker's seconding of
the motion in a recent issue of the
EVENING NEWS is very discomfort
ing if not stupidity insulting.
In the first place it is bringing back
to us a very unagreeable smell of
death and decay of ages hat went to
their grave half an eternity ago-I
mean the times of one year ago-the
times when nan measured the value
of life's days with the measure of
gold and bodily comfort. Nc doubt
that this city of ours needs a new mu-
nicipal building, but using the occa-
sion rs a fitting time for remedying a
necessity reminds us too much of the
mar who al Christmas used to present
his wife with the book he himself had
wanted for a whole year
1t only remains 10Y for another
steward of the pork barrel to suggest
the amendment: That the new NUM-
cipal building, when erected, be out
fitted as a permanent free lunch sta
ton to the lifelong comfort of the
donators.
At this dawn of a new era. it occurs
TO me and millions of others through
out the country, hat the cravings of
our hearts are to be allowed to ex-
press our thanks and admiration for
our soldiers and sailors In the most
beautiful and unselfish way possible
to find. For all hat is in store for us
let us not make a virtue out of ncces-
sity. Whatever memorial is suggest
ed, let it be the rule of the new human
hearts cravings, hat suggestions,
wishes and fulfilments be held within
the border lines of unselfishness and
beauty. Things that have already
been suggested in that direction are
not few and others will occur to peo-
pie; (but for heavens sake beware of
the stone piles n ready-made bronze
bullicns), al arch of victory spann-
ing a public thoroughfare, tower of
triumph or a belfry, or a creation of
a real park with room for statues.
But II gets almost scared TO death,
when in Mr.. Menaker's reason for his
adherence to the free lunch idea, we
meet the ghost of the old time COM
munits DEVIL mean the III ''benev-
client oleratior" Of citizens of foreign
birth.
Although Mr.. M~enaker's own name
does not suggest any more OF the
real American than does the names
of Cleveland, racinsky. Israel, Taft,
or Hansen, he is tactless enough to

ORGANIZED LABOR OF MEMOIR.

Editor EVENING NEWS:
Much has been said recently about
q suitable memorial for our returned
heroes. Organized labor wishes to go
on record as heartily favoring the
proposition of a memorial building.
Organized labor feels hat a memorial
building would be both useful and or
namental and would help boost our
city. the pace-making city of New
Jersey. We also feel that organized
labor will be called upon to do its
share in the erection OF such
ia1 in view of the fact that organized
labor feels that it should be recog-
niZed along with other societies and "A
suitable place provided in said build
ing for their use. Organized labor
has givn not only its financial aid, but
much of its membership to bring tho
war to a successful end.
We do not wish to be praised for
what we have done and been able to
do for our country. but think we
would be justly entitled to some rec
ignition along this line. Looking for

plated memorial we sign ourselves,

who have buried their dead there.
Citizens would not be practically

site for burial places in tho city I'M
less in a denominational burial ground
connected with some church, associa-
ton or religious sect. Alpine is the

logical ground for this city.
II the city is to consider the own
ership of a cemetery. and if the citi-
Zens are to look forward to a time
when that cemetery is TO be available
and a matter of pride. 1t would seem
the only logical proposition to be con-
sidered would be the purchase and
ownership by the city of the cemetery
on plans somewhat as outlined here.
Private parties a been investi-
eating the project with an idea Of
purchase and running it as a purely
business proposition This the stock
holders are loath to consent too, as
they feel hat under private ownership
the ground would not be taken care
OF any better than it is at the present
time and that is the chief reason they
will dispose of IL, so that il may be
beautifed and be made a fit burial
place.
During the influenza epidemic there
were purchased about $4,000 worth of
lots in Alpine by individuals. The in
come at the present time is about
$500 a month and the expenses, now
for employees is $3.50 a month.
There is at present in bank n CON
siderable sum of money placed in
trust with the directors of the cor
poration, with which they are to keep
up various plots. This money would
revert to the city in case the nroper-
Is was bought. as would several mort

The Taxing Problem.

The following is SO squarely along
the line of our conclusion after care
full research as to the taxing Ques-
ton, that we reproduce it for the
benefit of the tax-paying voters.
No candidate for the legislature or
senate should attempt to soft pedal
his way through on this question.
! Each candidate ought to know
where he stands and take the peo-
pie into his confidence. The small
taxpayer is as much interested in
the amount of tax he pays as the
big one. If any candidate for leg
islative honors does not know his
position on this vital question and
does not have definite plan that
be is not afraid to give to the peo-
pie in the open before he is elected
better vote for the other fellow who
may be mistaken as to the plan he
advocates but is not afraid to have
the voters pass on it:
Candidates for the State Legis-
lature ought to make plain their
position on the Tax Commission
question, and our people ought to
make plain their position on the
Tax Commission question, and our
people ought to vote only for such of
those who are in favor of continuing
this Commission and strengthening
its hands. Without a central or
ganization to pass upon the equali-
zation of taxes there can be no hope
for fair and just assessment roll of
all the property in the State. The
old system of each and every Board
Supervisors fixing values has proven
that the same cannot be done salts
factorily. for that practice has been
one of chance. each county endeav- |
oring to put it over on the other. |
and each member of the Board en- |
to reduce the assessment, |
of his beat to satisfy and please his |
friends and neighbors. All of
which is wrong. A central board.
free from all local influences. and |
serving with the single view of doing
Justice to all parts of the State and
all the property holders of the State
is the only hope of securing a fair
and just assessment, and the man
who refuses to come out and state
bis position on this important mat
ter ought not to be sent to the Leg
islature. The Coast Beacon.

sufficient. AT 5 IL mills a large
amount of taxes was collected
last winter. There is now nearly
two million dollars in the Treas
ury of the State. which is a mil
lion more than is needed at this
time.
A few years ago retiring
Governor boasted that he left in
the Treasury nearly a million
dollars. The retiring Governor
next January will leave three or
four million in the Treasury.
THERECA BE NO DOUBT
THAT THE TAX COMMITS
SION HAS DONE A GREAT
WORK IN EOUALIZINGTAX-
ALTON. and the process is of
course just beginning. Only one
attempt has been made to equal
ize the land values. and any one
can tell by casual examination
that the values are much more
nearly equal than in 1915. The
work this year will do even bet
ter.
When the Legislature raised
the tax levy in 1918, it stopped
the work of the Commission, be-
cause it could not raise values
any higher without bringing in
too much money-money that
ought to remain in the pockets
of the taxpayers.
BEFORE VALUES OF DEL
ia LANDS CAN BE LARGE
LY INCREASED THIS YEAR
there will have to be a special
session of the Legislature to
again reduce the tax levy. And
one candidate for Governor,
WHOSE HOME IS IN THE
DELTA AND KNOWS what he
is talking about, now says they
should be assessed at 5000 an
ACRE. No doubt they should
be placed at near that figure. and
this will necessitate reduction
in the tax levy. or an Over-col-
lection of taxes.
