of the country, continue to handle
public affairs and spend money the
same as did their predecessors when
conditions were entirely different. In
stead Of trying to see how much they
can do in the way OF improvements
that cost so much money these days,
let heir main object be to eleminate
everything except the things hat are
absolutely essential.
But Perth Amboy is not the only
place in the county that has a an
enormous Increase in its tax rate. New
Brunswick, Woodbridge, Jamesburg.
Highland Park and Midtown all go
over 81 on the 500 valuation and
other places excepting South Amboy,
show substantial increases.
In the face of this the Board OF
F%reeholders have been lobbying at
Trenton all through the present ses-
sion OF tho legislature in an effort to
get a bill passed permitting them to
increase the. county debt so that they
can go on spending money as of yore
regardless of the awful burden that IS
being loaded on the taxpayers. The
fact that Middlesex county already has
the biggest debt of II county in the
state, that it is away over the present
legal limit and That there is no evil
dence of 1t being reduced. seems 70
have no effect on these officials. Their
main object is to go on piling up this
debt on patent pavements and the like
which the people cry for relief.
This bill permitting the extension of
the county debt limit from 2 per
+ cent, to 4 per cent, Of the assessed
valuation has now passed. both houses
of the legislature and is in the hands
of Governor Edwards. The people
must look to him to save them from
lthe impending orgy of spending the
taxpayers money should the bill be-
come q law.
But If the governor decides TO sign
the bill and it becomes n law, let the
freeholders beware how they proceed
in pIllng on the debt. The people all
over the county are going to be
J aroused by this new tax rate. Any
official that Ignores 1t and continues
to lavish the expenditure of money in
the good old way is bound to hear
from his constituents at election time.
In the meantime. folks. the tax rate
for Perth Amboy for this year Is $3.50
on the 500 valuation. This is the
worst that we can near in this line. But
there is nothing to be done about 1t
Except insist on economy and curtail-
ment in every way possible In all
public affairs.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1920-04-02
THE WORST AT LAST.

II would seem as If the people of
Perth Amboy had heard the worst by
this time. The tax rate for this year
was thought to be bad enough at
1855 which was the unofficial figure
given out last week. This, however
was, as We suggested at the time,
merely having the real news broken
10 as easily. Now comes the official
figure of $3.50 on every 500 of valua-
ton. This Is an increase of ninety
ak cents over last year. which. when
~s was announced was thought to be
high.
OF course, officials. both of the city
ana county. are ready enough to offer
reasons and explanations for the in
crease. but thai does not help a the
tax. What the people want is action
that will keep down the tax rate
rather thar explanations as to why 1t
keeps going higher.
Granted there are increases in the
cost of things that requires more
money to run the government at the
nresent time than ever before, there
appears to be no evidence anywhere
h a an .effort is being made to
economize or curtail In expenditures
