THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION

Elsewhere in this issue of the Rec
ord appears copy of letter that
has been sent by Gov. Nestos to the
various city and other taxing bodies
relative to the Importance of cutting
expenses to the bone, and making
possible reduction of tax levies. No
more important matter can come to
the attention of the average taxpayer
today than the matter of constantly
mounting tax levies. A continued ex
pansion along that line during the
next three years at the same pace as
during the past three would mean a
tax on farm and business property so
high that the best of conditions would
not permit sufficient revenue to pay
the taxes. The seriousness of the sit
uation is thoroughly realized by the
governor of this state. Hence, his
various efforts to center the attention
of the taxpaying public on the mat
ter.
The Record proposes to devote con-
siderable attention to this tax bust
ness during the coming weeks. We
shall discuss the present tax laws,
and attempt to show some of the most
glaring weaknesses, especially the
raising of the taxing limits and the
shifting of the tax burden from one
form of property to another.
We will give all the data available
ON the tax levies of the, past few
years, showing where the increase is
coming from, and what sources must
bear the responsibility for the gen.
eral condition.
We will devote considerable atten-
ton to prices paid for the larger un-
dertakings such as road and bridge
building, and will publish figures Sc
cured from Minnesota, South Dakota
and other parts of North Dakota for
similar work.
We will try to summarize the con-
ditions as they exist and will, try to
furnish our readers with information
upon which to base their opinions as
to what steps should be taken to inn
prove conditions in the immediate fh-
ture. 4
School boards are also having their
troubles, and along with the other
matters touched upon, we will devote
space to the financial condition as it
effects the school situation.
We will try to make all these ar
t;eles absolutely authentic, and they
will be unbiased so far as officials or
political factions are concerned.
There is vast amount of informa-
ton that cant be secured that will help
to make clear the reason for our pres
..ent serious predieament in the matter
sof taxation. The Record proposes to

The 5000 bonus that was voted
the teachers of the city schools last
year was the subject under discus
sion at the special meeting of the
Perth Amboy Teachers Association
which was held in the High School
Auditorium yesterday afternoon.
The meeting was called by the Grade
Teachers Association upon the reali-
zation that the law calls for term
ination of the bonus under the pres
ent conditions on the first of April,
1922, and the advisability of making
the bonus a part of the regular sal
arv. which would be the only means
of retaining the money was discuss

When the bonus was granted the
teachers the conditions read to the
effect that "a bonus of 5000 was to
be paid in ten equal monthly INSTALL

fore April 1. 1922" At this rate. 1t
was decided last night, if the pay

will be no bonus for April. May and

Action Taken at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1S.-(By The As
sociated Press) A telegram sum-
moning chiefs of the big Five" to

endeavor to forestall walkout was
dispatched today.
The conference was called for 2

understood new proposals will be
made.
A joint conference at the end of

controversy over the attitude of the
"big five" brotherhood was in pros
pect.
The train dispatchers have de-
clared they will not go out, teleg-
raphers and clerks announced their
decision was to inform and others
declared the question was still open.
B. NJ. Jewell. president of the rail-
way employees department of the
American Federation of Labor de-
clared today he was still hopeful a
strike could be averted.
