PUBLIC OPINION
TAX RATE AND WATER RATE
EDITOR EVENING NEWS:

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
1t is very evident that the Board
of Aldermen in their eagerness to
reduce the tax rate by any hook or
crook have dug a hole and have fell
into 1t with both feet. When the
1921 budget was being prepared the
water commission was called into a
conference with the Idea of increas-
ing the water rates to provide suffi-
cient funds to meet the payment of
interest on reservoir bonds amount
ing to about $4,000. 1t seems to
have occurred to them at that time
that enough more could be added
by soaking the water users to the
extent of $4,000 in order that the
budget could be reduced by that
amount, and thus film fam the pub
lie into believing that their manage
ment of city affairs had reduced the
tax rate for the coming rear. The
said $4,000 was then incorporated
into the appropriation ordinance as
an anticipated revenue. making that
much less to be raised by general
taxation. But when the water bills
under the increased rate came in
the holler was so great that the al
dermen began to see a new light

the water board, insisting that a re-
duction must be made notwithstand-

BRIDGE AND CITY PLAN.

THE present agitation over the location OF the
new state highway bridge across the Raritan
river shows the necessity of a city plan. II
Perth Amboy had a city plan today the CITY
authorities would know exactly what was want
ed as far as location is concerned and there
would be no doubt as to the citys position
It would simply be a case of showing to the
..a,e highway commission and the war depart
ment this city plan and usually the influence
the city could bring to bear that the bridge
be erected to conform herewith.
OF course. there is nothing to compel these
outside authorities to carry out Perth Amboys
Man. but there would be a moral obligation
to consider what the city had TO offer. AT
least the city would know exactly what it
wanted and why 1t wanted it.
such a bridge as the state proposes TO build
here cannot help but play an important part
In planning the city. This bridge will marx
the approach to what will doubtless be the
main highway through Perth Amboy. 1t is
mute essential that such a highway be as much
of a credit to the city as possible. To that
end. an expert city planner would take the
bridge into consideration in laying out the city
as It should be. Now, while the location Is
being selected. Is the time to get what the city
wants in this regard.
No doubt the city officials will do the best
they can in protecting the city's interests. but
they would be in q much stronger position II
they had a definite city plan to go by.
The city plan commission would do well to
get in touch with an expert city planner at the
very outset. only care must be taken that he is
really what he is supposed to be. Planning a
,ity for future development is serious business
md only the very best talent should be en-
kaged.
Perth Amboy expects a great deal from the
city plan. Much of its prosperity depends on
row well the work is done. The city plan COM
mission has one OF the most important duties

WHOLE TAX SYSTEM WRONG.

Senator Brown has made a good case Tor
Niddlesex county in the controversy with Union
county over the tax assessments here. He sue
ceeded in having the whole matter dropped
at least for this year. and there is little hkeli-
hood of the matter ever being heard of again
unless the whole state is gone over for a reval-
uation of property along with Middlesex.
There is no doubt that something Is radically
wrong with the method of taxation in New Jer-
sey. If the state does not look out It may find
many of its large Industries leaving this sec
lion and moving to states where taxation is i'm
posed on a more equitable basis.
There is no sense in penalizins a man fol-
making improvement on his property or for
increasing his business so that he can give more
employment to the people. Take any vacant
piece of land in New Jersey: it is assessed at
a mere nominal figure because it is classed as
1nimproved property. The owner lets the land
lie idle because it costs him little as it is
and it is naturally increasing in value all the
time. But the idle land is not doing the COM
munity in which it is located any good.
But let some big industry buy that land and
proceed to erect a factory thereon bringing
business to the community. increasing the pop.
uIation and thereby benehting everybody and
at once the tax assessors pounce upon that in
dustry with heavy taxes. While the land waa

A man in Rochester returning
from his business and hurrying to
supper, noticed a group of excited
men on the bank of the Genesee
river. He stopped long enough to
see that they were endeavoring to
rescue a boy who had fallen in. The
river flows through the city, and ac-
cidents occur now and then; and as
there seemed to be men enough on
the bank to do whatever was need
ed, this man was thinking of leaving
and hurrying on home. But he saw
that the efforts to save the boy were
not very successful, and he flung off
his coat. plunged into the water, and
rescued his own son.

that would make no difference. the
public would be fooled and they
would save their faces at the next
election upon the plea of economy

If the aldermen are so anxious to
reduce the water rents why don't
they eliminate this estimated reve-
nue. of $55,000 from the appropria-
ton ordinance and give the water
commission a chance to fix the rates
where they belong and let the tax
rate go where 1t belongs?
Now, Mr.. Editor, don't you think
it's about time that the taxpayers
woke up and put a class of men in
