LEGION DRIVE
STARTED HERE
Dinner Held Last Night at
Which Work of the 0rgani-
Zati0niS Praised

Rev. Frederick Niedermeyer and
Adrian Lyon, the principal speakers
at the supper which was held in the
Y. NJ. G. A. last night to open the
American Legion membership drive
proved an inspiration to the large
group of workers who gathered TO
receive their instruction for the
campaign. Both spoke with such
thorough knowledge of the activity
about to be launched that the real
significance of the big task was
brought home to the ex-service men
with great force.
The drive which was decided upon
at the last meeting of the post is
headed by Nathan Goldberger as
chairman who also took charge at
the supper last night. Chairman
Goldberger gathered about him ten
of the ablest members of the post
who, in turn, have enlisted the serv-
ices of a number of their buddies
who have promised to concentrate
every effort on the swelling of the
membership rolls.
Both the speakers agreed that the
American Legion is the representa-
tive organization of World War vet
Grams and the message of Rev. Mr..
Niedermeyer, pertaining greatly to
the drive itself, expressed the stick
to-it" attitude while Mr.. Lyon spoke
generally upon the organization it,
self as a factor in the United States
today and in the future. Mr.. Lyon
told of the possibilities of such an
organization as the American Legion
and assured the boys that he was be-
hind them in this move to get all the
local ex-service men into the post.
Commander William Thompson
also said few words admonishing
his men to ''go after" their buddies
and emphasizing the reasons why all
ex-service men should join.
Several suggestions of merit were
made by various members of the
teams and accepted as assets and in
ducements. II is expected that more
challenges will be made tonight thus
making the competition much keen
er.
The workers will report to their
captains each night, who, in turn
will meet for short time with the
chairman in the Y. Nj. c. A

this is not entirely possible. Any

to explain the benefits of the Amer

The work done by the organization

rams. has been especially commend
ed and the service for the unem-

Writes to County Board on
Act of Legislature Concern

Does Not Relieve Local BIDS.
of Duties in Any Way,
It Is Said
EFFECTIVE OCTOBER

TRENTON Oct. $50 that the
various county boards of taxation
throughout the state may know the
attitude of the State Board of Taxes
and Assessment regarding an act
of the legislature of this year per-
mitting the state board to order
or make a reassessment where 1t
believes the original assessment is
not in compliance with the law, that
body today sent letter to the
county taxing officials explaining in
full the provisions of the law. This
statute became effective October
of this year.
The state taxing officials explain
ed in their letter that the power
conferred on the state board by this
act does not affect in any manner
the authority already possessed by
the bounty boards of taxation and
that it does not relieve these bodies
of their dnties in any way. On the
contrary. the state board asserted,
/. emphasizes the responsibility of
the county boards, and gives the
state board adequate powers to deal
bodies have been neglectful of
their duties.
Under an act of 1906 providing
that county boards of taxation shall
secure the taxation of all property
as it's true value it is the duty
of the members of the respective
county boards to view and inspect,
so far as possible. in all cases. the
various assessed properties in the
varioue taxing districts" the state
beard said in it's letter, land to
make revision and correction after
such view and inspection.
''They are also given supervision
and control of all assessors and
other officers charged with the duty
of the assessment. of taxes" contin-
ued the state board, land have the
power after investigating to re-
wise, correct and equalize the as
sessed value of all property in the
respective taxing districts to in
crease or decrease the assessed
value of any property not truly val
ued.
"They also have the power to add
to these lists and duplicates any
property which has been omitted or
overlooked at it's true value, and in
general to do and perform all acts
and things necessary for the taxa
tion of all property in said county
equally and at it's true value"
Due to the fact that the tax lists
and duplicates for the current as
sessment will not be delivered into
the hands of the county boards until
January 10, 1922. the state board
pointed out, the county boards will
have to take steps to keep in touch
with the assessments as they are
being made. This is made necessary
by the fact that the state board must
complete its reassessment, If one is
ordered, between January 10 and
March is. when the reassessment
must be certified to the county
| board.
In concluding, the state taxing Of
ficials asserted that they feel the
control of original assessments is in
the hands of the county boards. and
declared that IL, when the books are
turned over on January 10, there ap-
pear inequalities or determinations,
such as to come within the intent of
| the new act, reassessment will be
ordered.
