TAX RATES SOAR BEYOND REASON.
and BERGEN PROPERTY IS HARD HIT

The big talk of Bergen county this
week has been the tax rates for this
year, VIII CHI have just been published.
Fort Lee gets a raise of 70 points, the
new rate being $497 against $4.22 last
year Cliffside will pay $60S, last year
$5.4S. Fairview did not have much of
a raise, one point, in fact, $6.15 for this
year against $6.14 last year. Lodi
township pays the highest rate, 1922,
from $4.9S, or 10 points raise. 1t is
pity we all cannot live i'm Alpine,
where the new rate is only 1921
against $1.55.
A Palisade house that last year paid
tax on an assessment of $4,000, or
1897 go tax, will this year pay 1897 go.
A last years home that paid a tax on
1920 assessment, or tax of $3SS.24,
pays this year $457.24, raise of 500.
No one seems to know how people
are to get off with these astonishing
increases, and many are highly indig-
nant. The causes of the big jumps all
over the county are man yand various,
but state and county improvements are
for the most part responsible. Local
improvements help along the raises as
well. That great deal of disSatisfac-
ton eX SITS goes without saying, but the
big question is: What are we going to
do about it? Turn the rascals out?
Go to it! The weapon is at hand. The
sooner the better. Anything is better
than what we are getting. Nobody is
to blame, of course, so this makes 1T
all the easier to proceed because there
will then be no worry except to get re-
liable men and a better system. The
taxation system could be measurably

sessments were made. This is the
opinion of many of the best men in our
local boroughs, but so long as no one
starts the ball rolling the politicians
will continue to have their own way.
But here is the tax rate list:

Call Hackensack
$50 to Aid Sheriff

In an effort to perfect the system
for the apprehension of criminals in
this county, Sheriff Joseph Kinzley,
Jr, again calls attention to the fact
that emergency calls to his office
should be sent over the special tele-
phone trunk line which is numbered
and designated as HACKENSACK NO.
$50. This wire is used exclusively for
incoming calls iii emergency cases
only and the person sending in such
a call will find no difficulty in get
ting immediate attention.
The sheriff advises that in sending
in such calls for assistance, the sender
should realize first that promptness is
essential, and, secondly, that details
are equally as important.
The fact that crime has been
committed means nothing to the
authorities. Details must accompany
the information in order that accurate
data may be sent out broadcast for
the interrogation of the fleeing Offend
ers, Therefor it is urged that in
so far as possible a description of
those involved, probable direction in
which they may have gone and any
other information that may be vital
to the case should first be obtained.
Then telephone in your story.
OF course immediate assistance will
be sent to the spot indicated, but in
order that every avenue of escape
from the county may he closed 10
those perpetrating a crime, facts are
necessary.

more interest than the organization Of
this village choir. They sing wonder

progress. They sing well together,
showing that there is musical talent

notch class, that being Fairview bor-
Ough.
There are five municipalities with
rate between So and Sc, and twenty
municipalities with rate under s.

DUINED shipments-constant damage
IN claims-and yet the manufacturer
was paying price for his shipping cases
which should have insured full protection.
Examination of his shipping cases showed
that they were long and f1at-1lxl6x4.
Gair experts calculated that doubling the
depth and decreasing the length and width
so as to make case Ski xllx8-would give
them the same carrying capacity with
greatly increased strength.
To-day Gair cases of this approximately
cubcal type have replaced the old fiat
cases. They checked transit losses at once.
Besides being stronger, they are easier to
pack and easier to handle. The manufac-
turer's message printed on the outside has
more display space and far greater adver-
tising value. And the fact that they require
exactly 3o%o less stock means an important
saving on every order.
This is just one example of the ingenuity
and mechanical skill which characterize
Gair service. We have saved American
manufacturers millions of dollars by solving
the most difficult shipping problems.

Middle CREEK ROAD
COST ESTIMATED
Government Engineers Furnish Fig
ures for Amount Needed to Put
Road up Canyon

The government has finally COM
pleted the estimate of the cost for
the proposed roadway up Middle
Creek canyon. According to the fig
ures of the engineers, it will cost ap~
proximately S101, 100, or an average
cost per mile of S7,03S.
The length of the proposed road is
14.365 miles, and the work on this
will probably be undertaken as soon
as the West Gallatin road is COM
pleted.
A year ago a party Of Bozeman
men interested in developing the
beauty spots of Gallatin valley took
a trip into the heart of Middle Greek
canyon. A government photographer
was along and took a series Of pic
lures that are among some of the
best ever taken of scenery. The party
returned enthusiastic and anxious to
open the beauty Of the canyon to
everyone. If the road is put in this
will be done.
Cost of excavation is the greatest
expense in connection with the work
-1S,568 cubic yards of rock excava-
ton costing 1852, and 55,698 yards
of common excavation costing $685.
1850; 3,O86 cubic yards of excava
ton, unclassified 1851, or a TO-
tai for excavation of over $4,000.
The cost of metal pipe Of various
sizes required is estimated at $7,476t
bridge material, not including bridge
iron, $4,2O2; bridge iron in truss
bridges, 1854; log brige abutments

GRASSHOPPER SITUATION
LOOKS MUCH BEL TEk

Although the wet and cold wealth
er of last week slowed up the work
of the county agent in the hopper
campaign, it was renewed again this
week and the outlook is satisfactory.
Farmers of four communities have
combined in the fight and are mixing
and applying the poison. 1t is in
these locations that the grasshoppers
are the worst in Gallatin county, and
the poison is rapidly thinning the
hOppers' ranks.
Last week the farmers Of Pass
Greek mixed and spread poison, and
since then Three Forks, South Sales
vile and 15 farmers from the Walker
settlement west of Bozeman have

BOHEMIAN POSTOFFICE
NOW FIRST CLASS

The Bozeman postoffice was ad-
vanced to first class postoffice on
Friday. The receipts of the post
office for the last calendar year, and
also for the fiscal year which ended
at midnight June Both, passed the
$4,000 mark, which is necessary to
place the office in the list of first
class offices.
This advance is of Importance to
Bczeman, for it means that this Of
flee is now entitled to a superinten-
dent Of mails and probably two ex-
ira clerks, which will give Bozeman
the postoffice service that it has long
need in the line of extra clerical help.
By advancing the postoffice to Q
first class one, the postmaster re-
ceives a salary increase Of S100 q
year, and the assistant postmistress
$50 year.

Thieves BREAK IN
MANHATTAN Store
Goods Worth TwO-ThOusand Dollars
Stolen Sunday Night From
Manhattan Mercantile Co.

The store of the Manhattan Mer-
camille company in Manhattan was
broken into Sunday night, and jew
elry, watches, silk garments and 9TH
er valuables to the amount of practi-
cally $4,000 in value were stolen. All
clues as to the identity of the thieves
have been run down but so far have
not brought any results. Sheriff Es-
gar and his force as well as the 9TH
er peace officers in the county are
conducting a thorough search for the
burglars.
The burglary was discovered Mon
day morning when someone going by
noticed that the plate glass window
in the door at the side of the store
had been broken. Manager H. G.
Hagalie was promptly notified by
Deputy Sheriff Davis of Manhattan.
An examination showed that the
thieves had secured an entrance to
the store by breaking the glass and
reaching through and unlocking the
door. Once inside they ransacked the
jewelry department, taking every
thing of value there, ard then taking
such silk goods as were not too bulky
from the silk goods department.
They secured an assortment Of
watches, chains, pins, silk underwear
silk shirts, a steamer trunk, ladie!
hand bags, silk ties and other arti
cles. On hasty survey MIR. Hagallt
estimated the value Of the goods stol
en- at about $4,000.
1t is believed that the thieves hat
an automobile and that they loadet
the valuables into steamer trunl
and carried this to a machine clos
, by and made their get away at
time when there was no one around.
In the early hours of the Fourt
many tourists and others out foi
: the day passed through Manhattan i
, machines, and for this reason it wa
easy for the burglars to conceal thei
/ movements. The lstore is located o
2 the main street in Manhattan. 1t
