The total assessed valuations in
Perth Amboy in 1919 exclusive of
automobiles, tre s30,7O4.320. ac-
cording to figures which have been
turned in to the office of the County
Board of Taxation by the Perth Am
sents an increase of more than SO =

sessed valuations.
In 1918 the city's total of $2S,776,-

mobile valuations approximating
about 900. A franchise tax of
$3.50. 600 which was formerly included
with tile city's total assessed valua-
ton, in addition to the land, buildings,
personal and stores ttax is not includ-
ed in the 1919 total owing to new
state law.
All of the assessed valuation re-
ports from the various places in the

welt and Sayreville have been re-
ceived by William A. Spencer, secre-
tary of the County Board of Taxa
received all of the reports in order
that the county's total may be ar
rived at.
The work of estimating the county
ratables will be rushed, Mr.. Spencer
declared, in order that the city and
county tax rates may be known as
soon as possible. The budgets for
financing the affairs of many of the
Middlesex county municipalities have
not yet been received, he said, many
of them being held back as the re-
suit of the school appropriations not
having been added as yet
Mr.. Spencer stated that the people
of Perth Amboy and Middlesex coun-
ty as a whole could expect a big jump
in the tax rate this year. He pointed
out that many of the large factories
which We're thriving in this immediate
vicinity during the war have discontin
ued operations, altogether or have
shut down, so that only small por-
tion of the plant is now in operation.
No estimate as to what the tax rate
for this city or the county might be
can be secured until the county rata
bles have been totalled.

COAL CONTRACT
Declares Bid Was Lower Than
That Of Haney
AWARDED BY WATER BOARD
Declares His Bid Was $3.50
LoWer--Other Business
Transacted at Meeting

Because the contract for furnish
ing 10000 tons of coal to the Water
Department was awarded to George
j. Haney, whose bid for the amount
was $4S.750, as compared to a bid
of S4S, 400 made by the John w. Oh
sen Coal Company the latter firm this
morning began action to determine
why it should not have been awarded
the contract.
The contract was awarded by the
Board of Water Commissioners al
their meeting last night, the Olsen
Company and George j. Haney being
the only bidders. The latter had two
bids before the board.
The bids of the Olsen Company was
s4.S4 per gross ton for the 10000
tons, making a total Of $4S,400
One of the Haney bids quoted the
following prices: Wyoming coal, $50
per ton; Lytle, $40 per ton; sham
okin. $4.95 per ton; Susquehana, $4.90
per ton.
The other bid of Haney, which was
the one under which the contract was
| awarded, provided for the furnishing
of 5000 tons between now and April
l at $40 per ton and the remaining
1000 tons at the rate Of s4.95 per
ton, all of this coal being Shame okin.
The coal now used by the Water
and giving excellent results the COM
| miSsioners said, and in awarding the
contract this fact was taken into con-
sideration. The quality of the other
coal, it was pointed out by Board
members, was not known whereas the
Shamokin had been used for several
years and found to be what was need
ed.

of the Board in making their decision,
1t being pointed out that owing to
lthe> uncertainty of mining conditions
at present it would be advisable to

without and loss of time.
John w. Olsen, president of the
Olsen Coal Company, stated this af-
ternoon that no provision was made
in the advertisement for bids on this
coal, which mentioned anything about
delivery before April 1, and he said
he did not think this should be con
sidered by the commissioners in
| awarding the contract. as he too could
make quick delivery.
Mr.. Olsen claimed that If the Board
was to award contract after contract
for coal to Mr.. Haney despite the fact
| that his bid in this instance was $3.50
| lower. there was no use in advertis-
| ing for bids from other coal dealers.
A communication from the Board
of Health asking the Board of Water
Commissioners to inform them what
steps were being taken to remedy the

ceived and placed on file.

BIZ The Associated Press,
LONDON, Feb. 19.-The latest de-
velopment in the Turkish situation
have pushed the Adriatic question into
the back ground in both public and
official interest. The reservations
made with regard to the Turkish
peace terms including the retention
of Turks in Constantinople have
aroused strong feeling in Parliament,
Particular antagonisn has been
aroused in opposition quarters to the
decision to permit the sultan to retain
sovereignty over Constantinople.
The kecnest interest has been mani

Americans who were in the city Of

from Assistant High Commissioner

James Perry and Frank f. Johnson,

. Mustapha Kemal Pasha, leader of

Minor. has given orders that all
Americans there must be respected
and given protection, according to a
disnatch received from Angela, the
present capital Of Anatolia. In addi-
ton q dispatch Mustapha Kemal had
received from the commander of ma
tionalist forces at Marash was for
warded to this city.
Turks living in Anatolia are greatly
puzzled by the word mandate" as
applied to the future government OF
their country. The sound Of this
word is similar to the word meaning
buffalo" and therefore confusion
reigns in the minds of the Anatolians
as TO the real significance Of this
term. which has come into the popu-
lous speech since the covenant of the

From the Country
By The Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Another
bill to deal with a situation arising
from the inability Of the President to
transact his duties was introduced to-
day in the house. Representative
Madden, Republican. Illinois, offered
q measure empowering the cabinet
to determine when President is dis
abled. Like other similar measures
introduced yesterday 1t would not be
applicable to President Wilson as it
would not become effective till next
March. Mr.. Madden's measure pro-
posed that after President has been
unable for six weeks through physical
disability or absence from the country
to perform his duties the cabinet could
declare the disability and call upon
the vice president to act. The vice
president would remain in the office
until the cabinet should declare the
presidents disability ended.
Mr.. Madden said he was moved to
introduce this bill because Mr.. Wilson
has established precedent in con-
tending that cabinet meetings could
