REDUCE THE COUNTY DEBT.

Strong arguments are offered by
the Department OF Municipal Accounts
against the passage of assembly biil
No. LAG which would increase tho
county debt limit from two to four
per cent. incidentally, come Interest
ing facts are brought out in contrast
ing the net debt OF the various coun-
ties.
"As the individual taxpayer has to
pay the carrying charges for both
county and municipal debt the state
ment sets forth, at Is Il question
which should be seriously considered
whether any percentage OF debt be
yond the present limit can be carried
without seriously affecting the future
welfare of the properties which must
be called upon to pay the debt charges
as well as the charges for current
services"
This is where the taxpayer who finds
his taxes mounting higher and high
er each year, m in. AS the money
already required to care for the
county debt is one OF the largest items
In the county tax budget. 1t is apparent
that the present debt limit Is all that
the people can stand. County eN-
penditures excepting what are abso-
lutely necessary ought to cease long
enough to permit the county debt be-
ing reduced. This can be brought about
through the annual payment ON bonds
and the increased valuations.
In setting forth the figures showing
the net debt of the different counties
It is seen that nearly all the counties
have ample leeway for expenditures
during the coming year and still keep
within the present debt limit. The
present county debt for the whole
state to $47,259.401. This
could be Increased by $5S,377,566, or
more than 100 per cent, before the
present debt limit would be reached.
In the percentage of net debt to
assessed valuations. Middlesex Is the
highest in the state with a percentage
of 3.29. The next highest Is Cape
May with 2.649 with Bergen and
Morris both over 2 per cent. All the
other counties are below the 2 per
cent, limit, most of them having
ample borrowing power as the law
Dow stands.
Monmouth county, for instance,
with an assessed valuation of $107,-
ed valuation Of MiddleseX of $SS,449,-
5S9 has a percentage of net debt OF
only .112 as against Middlesex S.2s.
This means that whereas Middlesex
mas piled up a debt of $2,74s.771,
Monmouth has a debt of only $751;
900. In other words, while Middle
sex county is away over the limit of
q per cent. as fixed by the present law.
Monmouth still has an unused bor-
yowing power of $2,O31,69S.
There is a similar contrast with
somerset county and Union county.
Union county. with an average assess
cd valuation of $165. 591,s7s has a
percentage of net debt OF 1000. Union
eounty's net debt is s1.759.S ~ leaving
an unused borrowing power under the
law as 1t now stands of s1.552,o17.
1t must be admitted that neither OF
these counties have had such bridges
80 build and maintain as Middlesex.

C0X'S CATTLE MAY

where he visited number OF promi
nent cattlemen whose prize herds will

East than ever before and that scores
of cattle raisers from the Chicago dis.
trict alone are already making plans
for the trip during October.
Cattle, swine and sheep will have a
prominent place in the exhibit and

MEXICAN PAPERS
STRONG FOR FAIR
Herald Texas Exposition as Great
Trade Opening.

Heralded by newspapers throughout
Merico as an event OF national Inn
portance. the Mexican National Exhib
II at the State Fair OF Texas--October
8 to 24-promises TO he a revelation
TO those who have overlooked the art,
the romance and the beautiful tradi'
tlons Of the land OF our southern
neighbors. For the exhibit will abound
not only with examples OF Mexico's
Industrial and agricultural progress,
but will contain relics and works OF
art that will be the center OF attrac'
ton to hundreds OF art lovers who
will visit the Fair. In fact one OF
the big features OF the entire State
Fair pISgTam will be the band OF the
Estado Mayor. This band ranks high
among the musical organizations OF the
entire world and Is we'll known to
readers OF musical journals. Nearly
q hundred highly trained musicians
comprise this band.
From a standpoint of commerce. the
papers OF Mexico have devoted page
after page to impress upon their read
ers the importance OF this exhibit
II Is pointed out that this Is an op.
portunity which must not be overlook
cd TO establish better relations with
business men Of the United States. A
typical newspaper story devoted to
this exhibit appeared in a recent issue
OF Excelsior" OF Mexico City The ar
ticle, In part, follows:
THE Mexican exhibition OF natural
and manufacturing products to be
shown in Dallas, Texas, at the state
Fair this year will be more complete
and interesting than any other shown
in any foreign country
"At present the Texas State Fair Is
one OF the most important in the
American Union. All producers OF the
United States, and me chants in gen.
eral. exhibit their products. without
emitting any effort to enlarge the mar.
ket for their products. Every avail.
able space. where this great State
Fair Is going to take place. has already
been taken and every indica ton is
that this exposition will surpass all
previously shown.
"The city OF Dallas has become the
large distributing center OF great i'm.
portance in the Southwestern section
OF the United States Nearly all the
leading American enterprises have
branches in Dallas and transactions
are conducted on the same line as at
headquarters"
The paper urges that Mexico send
Its very best products to the Fair
paying particular attention to the art
collection which VIII be brought here
The Importance OF the exhibit to
American industry can be readily seen
when one realizes that II Is through
the medium OF the Texas iobbing
house that the majority OF trade will
be conducted with Mexico and It Is
expected that this alone will bring
hundreds OF Eastern manufacturers
and industrial heads here during the
Fair.

Inaccuracies in history and anec-

be blamed on some of the older his
torlans. The men who first wrote OF
Colonial and Revolutionary times often
,-ied to make their accounts romantic
and picturesque by revising history to
suit themselves, because they did not
see that the real facts were more ro-

make them. Our histories, paintings,
