COUNTY BUDGET
FIGHT LIKELY
Business Interests May 0p-
pose Budgt in Its Pres
ent Form

NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. 29.-
Forces may be marshalled among
the business interests of the county
to appear before the freeholders on
Friday night, at which time the
hearing on the county budget will be
held, and oppose the adoption of the
budget in its present form on ac-
count of the increased amount of
money to be raised by taxation dur
ing the next year..
Interest in the management of
county affairs seems to begin TO. oc-
cupy the attention. Of those on whom
a part of t.io burden will fall, in the
matter of additional taxation and
with the tendency of a lowering of
wartime prices the feeling prevails
that taxes too. must not increase.
The total of budget amounts as
approved ny the freeholders at their
meeting last week shows a decrease
of S369, 009.5S over the total amount
Appropriated for the current year,
though the 1922 appropriations call
for an increase in the amount to be
raised by taxation of s107,4S2.69.
Men vitality interested in the fl
nancial institutions of the county
have repeatedly pointed out the
hardship being imposed on the rem
payers, who are in reality the ones
who pay the taxes, by tho continual
increase in the amount of assess
ments, and the feeling exists that
taxes have gone high enough.
While nothing definite has been
announced as to just how much OPP
position will be voiced, many of'those
interested in the matter have been
discussing the increase and have sig
nified their intention of being pres
ent and in favor of a further reduce
ton so that the amount to be raised
by taxation may be lowered.
The hearing which will be open to
the public will be held in the county
record building at s o'clock.

Since that time both employees
have been working through the

standing feature of the monthly

times the number of inspections that
are made by his assistant, despite
the fact the salary of both are near
ly equal.
On mer occasions the free
holders have commented on the uif-
ference in the reports which show
a vast difference in the amount of
work done, and have threatened to
so apportion the county that each
might have his own district, nut up
to the present time no action of such
a nature has been taken publicly.
