South Amboy Protest

NEW BRUNSWICK, March Go.
Strenuous objections to the order OF
the County Board of Taxation, call
ing for an increase in the amount
of ratables, were entered by repre-
sentatives of South Amboy and Rar-
itan township, at the meeting pc
fore the county board yesterday
afternoon. though the assessors of
the other six municipalities COM
piled with the order.
These objections were based prlm-
arily on the alleged fact that valua-
tions of Perth Amboys and New
Brunswick properties were entlrely
too low, causing other municipalities
of the county to pay taxes on hlgh-
err percentage of valuations than the
smaller municipalities.
Members of the county board ,ao :
yised the delegation. present, that
they were working under the dlfec-
ton of the state board of taxes ana
assessments and that the increase
would have to be made, as the hrst
stem in the equalization of taxes IN
Middlesex county.
While the county body is working
towards the end of obtaining an
equal and just valuations through
out the county, they lmpiled ina
they felt the taxing situation mere i
not as unequal as pictured by the
reports of the investigators sen'
here by the state board for the pur-
pose of determining the true Value
of properties.

hoard while his Associate Assessors
Dewan and Stults entered objections

State Board Congratulates
MiddIeSex Tax Officials AC-
ton Increasing Ratables
62 PER CENT. TRUE VALUE
Plea is Made for Investigation
of UndervaIuations in Every
County of State
62 PER CENT. TRUE VALUE

TRENTON. March 2S:-Congrat-
ulating the members of the Middle
sex County Board of Taxation for
their honest efforts to equaliZe the
assessments in their county. the
State Board of Taxes and Assess
ments today expressed their satis-
faction with the accomplishments
according to the figures presented.
The average assessments are now
about 81 per cent. of true value.
representing an increase in ratables
of $1O,000,00O. The members of the
county board outlined their ACTIVE
ties in directing the local assessors
to increase their valuation.
President Baker of the state board
remarked that it must be very hard
to persuade the assessors to increase
the valuations when their tenure of
Office depends upon their ability to
duplicate the assessments from year
to year.
Francis V. Dobbins, member of
the Union County Board of Taxation
appeared before the State Board of
Taxes and Assessments for the pur-
pose of suggesting that an fnvestiga-
tion be made into the taxing condi-
tions in every county of the state.
He appeared on behalf of the
Union County Board of Freeholders.
He said that it was apparent from
the undervaluations in Middlesex be-
fore the investigation and other
counties that the condition must be
a general one. Mr.. Dobbins pointed
out that the state board received an
appropriation of $4,000 for this
purpose, he understood.
President James Baker, of the
board, said that he agreed with the
contention of Mr.. Dobbins and de
clared that if the county boards will
cooperate with the state board and
get after the local assessors, the con-
ditions could be easily overcome.

STOLE HEN AND CHICKENS

A chicken thief is brand of fell
low said to exist in some of the older
states and down south among the
niggers, but not supposed to have
come this far west. Frank Halver-
son is convinced that there is one
down his way, and states circum-
stances that seem to justify the con-
clusion.
He bought three hens and three
broods of rosecomb Rhode Island
Reds of Mrs. E. M. Snider and had
fed them about six weeks and one
night they disappeared, ninety
chicks and three hens, all gone with
out a futter or squawk, and things
left in such condition as a coyote
would not leave them, neither would
a weasel.
Frank thinks it is a mean rapscal-
lion of a person who would steal one
chicken when he could get pair by
merely asking, but to take his whole
bunch makes him sore. He says he
would give $40 for the arrest and
conviction of the culprit or informa-
tion that would do the business, just
to rid the community of such stock.
The footprints, he was unable to
measure satisfactorily, but he can't
help noticing some peoples shoes
now when he sees them. The finger
prints left on some Of the things
touched were plain enough, but
Frank just didn't have the crust
to send a detective around among
the neighbors on a. finger print test
over a hen-and-chicken deal.
Everybody that owns a chicken is
interested in finding out just who
has these certain rosecomb Rhode
Island Reds and if somebody doesn' t
report their location to Mr.. Halver-
son within the month we miss our
guess regarding the love of honesty
and fair play among the people.
There is saying that finding a
horse shoe is good luck, but finding
bunch of them Is finding junk.
Somebody has bunch Of junk and
is afraid to have his neighbors see
the units running around.
