TAX ON RAILROAD
PROPERTY S2.37
So Ordered Today BY Justices
Harker and Minturn in
Supreme Court

TRENTON, Juiy 2S.-The supreme
court today in an opinion by Justices
Harker and Minturn ordered the
average tax rate of $2.37 on main
stream and second class railroad
property for the state by the State
Board of Taxes and Assessments 1918
set aside and a new and lower M fix
ed. This action was taken as a result
OF appeal brought by the railroads
from the assessment on two classes of
their property after the supreme court
had ordered a revision of December
Budget and Tax Assessments in Jersey
City last year.
1t was contended that the rate of
$2.37 should be reduced because of
reduction of Jersey City rate from
$1.73 to $1.29 in the revision of budget
there. The state board contended
that the state average rate having
been fixed before the Jersey City re-
duction was ordered it could not certi-
fly a new general rate. At the time
of argument, Attorney General Nc
Gran who appeared for the State
Board of Taxes and Assessments, con-
tended that to reduce the average
state rate would mean q loss of sew
eral thousand dollars in revenu from
the railroads to the public schools.
This will now result because of SUI
preme court action in ordering the
change In the assessment. Further
the Attorney General contended that
the new law providing for the taxa
ton of the Public Utilities Companies
on their gross receipts at the average
rate in lieu of personal property tax
would become effective under the
$2.37 rate and to reduce it would
mean a saving to the Utility Com
panies OF thousands of dollars which

PLAYGROUND NEWS

A course in semaphore will be
given two nights a week on the play
grounds, Tuesday night at Washing
ton Park playground and Thursday
night at Hayes playground. Men,
bers of the Boy Scouts have been Sc
cured to give the lessons. This course
is open only to Girl Scouts, and 1t is
expected that every Girl Scout will
not only avail herself of the oppor-
tqnity but that each Scout will really
be able to "wig-wag" as efficiently as
any Boy Scout. A number of those
who wish to a their tests will be
ready for the examination at the end
of August.
Take in the playground picture ex-
hibit at h public library this wee
and next. A dozen or more posters
and some of our wi Perth Amboy
girls and boys having a good time on
the Fairgrounds. Better yet see the
Fairgrounds first hand. Remember
that you can get in or some of the
fun yourself of an evening.
The first evening of no rain the
children took possession of the play
grounds. In fact one teacher says
she la hard work to keep them In
out of the rain. But the bad weather
knocked out several tournaments
scheduled for the week. Persistent
attempts were made to play, baseball
but to no avail. The volley ball
league which was to be started last
week had to be postponed. Several
teams besides the regular playground
league teams have been organized
and have been practicdng. The Cheese
brough volley ball team, the Dolly
Madison Unit of the Girls Club of
the w. G. c. s., Troop No. 2, Troop
No. s of the Girl Scouts and one team
of Old Scouts.

"What's the matter, your girl turn

of John, whose long face indicated
such trouble.
''She told me that she and her folks
were going to the country n Sunday
to see some relatives" replied John,
without answering the direct question.
IT didn't know what to do myself, SC /
went to Broad Ripple swimming. l vas
standing near the pool and heard a
loud smack, as a girl made a high dive
and instead of going into the water
head first hit too fiat. 1t knocked all
the breath out of her. A guard picked
her up and got her to the bank, and
as 1 was the nearest person. I helped
her out. She looked at me and / looked
at her. Then she said, Hello, John =
and / said, Hello, Maryl' and she
hadn't gone to the country at all. Then
/ walked away"
SWELL, how you and Mary making 1t

later. "Oh, 1 60 out TO her house bout
