ONLY FINANCIALLY SOUND
DEALERS CAN BUY MILK

Better business relations between
New Jersey dairy farmers and milk
dealers are anticipated by the State
Department of Agriculture this year
through plans completed for a r!gio
enforcement of the dealers licens-
ing and bonding law. This measure.
with its amendments. protecting the
producer from the financially ire
~sponsible buyer in the city, has done
much to create a strong bond of con-
fidence between the farmer and the
dealer and Is credited with putting
the milk business in the state on a
much sounder footing.
Every dealer, resident or non-resi-
dent. purchasing milk or cream from
a New Jersey producer. either for
sale. resale or manufacture, must
procure a license from the Secretary
of Agriculture. If his business is
conducted outside the state. he must
establish at least an office in New
Jersey to comply with the statute.
The annual license fee is $40 and In
addition. the dealer must file with
his application, a financial state
ment. At the discretion of the Sec
rotary of agriculture, he may be re-
quired to furnish a bond for the pro-
lection of the farmers from whom he
buys milk.
Before this law was enacted, a GER
tain class of small dealers frequently
financed their business on the dairy
farmer. by buying milk on credit OF
from n to six weeks. The farmer
was already producing the milk on
a narrow margin of profit and If the
dealer failed to pay. he found him
self financially crippled by the loss.
Dependable dealers have subscribed
eagerly to the provisions of the IL
cepse law. which in effect, gives
them an official status. Producers
have been warned by the depart
ment to investigate carefully before
selling milk or cream to buyers who
fail to display the State license card
at their place of business and have
been asked to report all such firms
Immediately to the department.

SEWER AGAIN IN
HOPPING AVENUE
Petition Before Local Board
Next Tuesday at Borough
Hall

TOTTENvHLE. April 13:1The
construction of a sewer in Hopping
venue from Bentley street to Am
boy road, Tottenville. is again on
the calendar of the local board of
public improvement for the meeting
to be held Tuesday night at Bor-
ough Hall. st. George. This petit
tion was before the local board some
time age and was laid over for ac-
ton some other time. At that time
there developed considerable oppo-
leition to the project by those people
pm the west side of the avenue who
en- Island sound. Those on the east
eide of the venue who are COM
PEELED to use cesspools r. anxious
that the sewer be built.
Borough President cahill suggest
ed at the first hearing that the
property owners on both sides of
the avenue get together on the mat
ter and to allow those using cess
pools to drain across the street
through their property to the sound.
This was suggested to save the
expense to the taxpayers In opening
up the avenue to lay a sewer at this
time. The construction of sidewalks
in Amboy road, between the bound
airy lines of the. fourth and fifth
wards, near Arden avenue. Anna
dale and Foster road. Prince Bay. is
up again for the thirteenth hearing
at the board meeting.
There are nineteen petitions on
the calendar for this month, two are
for the thirteenth hearing, six for
second and eleven for first hearings.
The hearing on the construction of
. sewer system for Great Kills, for
e~hich a special hearing was held at
the Great Kills school Tuesday night
will draw a large audience from that
place at the meeting. The residents
of that fast growing section of
Staten Island are about equally di-
vided on the question and there Is
expected to be warm arguments both
for and against the sewer system.

So. Amboy Kicks At High
Valuations As Well As Big
Increase In The Tax Rate

SOUTH AMBOY. April 13-Whils
the tax rate recently published
comes in for its criticism throughout
the city. the people also look with
d~isfavor on the increase in tax as
sessment for this city. claiming 1t
to be an injustice to the taxpayers.
The South Amboy Democrat Clue
is responsible for the claim that
this city's land is valued higher pc.
acre than any city in tho county.
At the recent meeting of the
Democrat Club the members took
exception to the proposed increase
and adopted the following resolution
which will be presented to the com
non council at the next regular
meeting of that body, which will be
held Tuesday night.
Whereas the state and County
Board of Taxation have compelled
the board of assessors of the city OF
South Amboy to make a ten per
cen increase in all real estate wall
uations. and
Whereas a comparison of the as
sessed valuation of the city. accord
ing to the last report of the State
Board Of Taxation and the assessed
valuations of the cities of New
Brunswick and Perth Amboy and of
the borough of Roosevelt conclusive
ly prove this forced increase inequit-
able and unjust. 1t is startling to
learn that seven-eighths of Roose-
welt, three-quarters of New Bruns-
wick and one-half of Perth Amboy
are assessed as acreage. 1t seems
unbelievable hat so much unim-
proved land exists in these munich
palities which we have always look
ed upon as great industrial centers
and not farm areas or barren wastes.
1t Is indeed a revelation to us to
learn that the average value of an
acre of land in Roosevelt is 1921;
New Brunswick, s1,52S, and in
South Amboy $1.6S1. 1t is beyond
our comprehension to conceive that
the average valuation of an acre of
land in South Amboy. where there
are no large Industrial enterprises or
a navigable waterfront, is 1888
greater than the average valuation
of an acre in New Brunswick and
s237 greater than the average value
of an acre of land in Roosevelt. both
of which places bound in great in
dustrial enterprises and have navig-
able waterfronts, and
Whereas two or three years ago
the County Board of Taxation in
formed the board of assessors of this
city hat valuations should be in
creased and the said board of asses
sors complied with the request and
by a process of equalization made
the required increase. The board
of assessors discovered hat the
Pennsylvania Railroad was being as
sessed for a large tract of land in
this city far below individual land
owners in the same vicinity and con-
sequently placed a valuation on the
p. r. r. land equal to the assess
ment of the surrounding land with
the result hat the increase was re-
moved by the State Board of Taxa
ton; therefore. be it
Resolved, That the Democratic
Club of the City of South Amboy
