Bathing came to Europe as one OF

seeing what good things they we're,
on returning from those wars took the
Initiative for their Introduction. In
this they were highly successful first
In England and from that to other

SEEBIRT STUMPS
BEFORE REALTORS
Mayoralty C a n d i d a e Dis.
cusses High Taxation With
Local Real Estate Men.

Eli F. Seebirt, local attorney and
candidate for mayor. in speaking be-
fore the local real estate men Tues
day noon at the Y. NJ. c. A. con-
firmed the opinions he had voiced
in 1919 regarding the great harm
done a city by burdensome taxation.
There is no one thing that will
impair or destroy the great indus
trial expansion which is now more
or less within our grasp more than
a burdensome and heavy tax" See
brit said. "A heavy tax drives in
vestments into other fields while a
lower and reasonable tax brings in
vestment TO the city. the difference
being made up by the large increase
in taxables."
Seebirt said that the cause of the
great shortage OF homes throughout
the country was caused by the at
titude Of people towards taxation.
The people would rather rent than
take the responsibilities Of an owner
OF property with the taxes high" he
said.
In concluding his talk Seebirt said
that men in the real estate business
were in a position TO be better in
formed on taxation and its effect
on the municipality than any other
group of citizens in a city.
Bob Happ was In charge Of the
meeting. Regular business was con-
Quoted and a luncheon was enjoyed
by the 40 members attending.
