.RATAbLE BOOST?
County Tax Board Receives
Books Today--Expect Big
RatabIe Increase

NEW BRUNSWICK, Jan. TO-
The County Tax Board Office was
busy this morning receiving the as
sessme MT books from many of the
municipalities in the county. Today
is the last day to set the books on
file with the county board and many
of the ass. ssors were coming in at
the last moment. The rush is un-
doubtedly the result of the warning
issued two weeks ago by the county
board when it announced that de-
lay in filing the books would not be
tolerated.
The books will be reviewed imme-
diate!y by the County Board of
Taxation, together with representa-
tives CT the state body which stated
some time ago that ratables in Mid
dlesex county would have to be
jumped $50 000,000 in order to make
a just ass, ssmentN in comparison to
other counties. Action on this phase
of the matter will probably take
place tomorrow.
The proposed increase In ratables
has aroused stiff opposition through
out the county and only two weeks
$50 a representative body in indus
trial taxpayers appeared before the
county board and protested against
any rise in assessments. At that
time the county board defended it
self for it's actions and indicated
that anything further would be de-
cided by the state board. which is
empowered to order re-assessments
The action of Union county in
stating that their ass sassments are
much higher than those of Middlesex
has started a movement to combat
ary rise here and the outgrowth OF
tire agitation is meeting to be held
here tomorrow night by interested
persons who intend to offer siren
nous resistance. The meeting is
scheduled to take place in the city
hall here.

1t is not perfect.
No plan of such magnitude ever
will be submitted perfect in all its
details.
ANY plan will be found upon ex-
ecutton to require modification from
time to tine. The plan itself con-
templates that. The statute of the
two states and the compact between
them pursuant thereto expressly pro-
vides for it. The act approving the
plan should like the plan itself, be
flexible enough to admit of needful
changes from time to time as the
necessity therefor may be developed
in It's actual execution.
The immediate question for con-
sideration, che question whose ans

now to be taken by the legislature
of the two states, il whether the plan
as q whole is based on sound funda-

1 am persuaded that it is funda-
mentally sound not alone from the
character and ability of the men who
have been intensiveiy studying it for
five years, not alone from my own
views formed after a considerable

practically unanimous approval of

NOT GUILTY IS
VERDICT FOUND
Joseph Macy Acquitted of
MansIaughter in Death of
Woman on Boat

NEW BRUNSWICK, Jan. 10:-
After a deliberation of twenty-six
minutes the jury in the case of
Joseph Macy, of Perth Amboy, who
was charged with manslaughter IN
connection with the death of a
woSran at the Perth Amboy ferry,
returned a verdict of not guilty at
1854 o'clock this morning. Judge
Daily in charging the jury asserted
that it was very likely that II the
railroad company operating TINS
ferry had constructed suitable
landing place for it's patrons this ac-
cident would never have happened.
This case was started yesterday
and the defendant was placed on
the stand this morning. Assistant
Prosecutor John e. Toolan conduct
ed the case for the state and Klem-
ner Kalteissen represented Macy.
The defendant admitted telling
the Perth Amboy police and Inspec-
tor Burton of the state department
that when the car was brought to a
halt it was found to be in gear but
he denied all knowledge of how 1t
happened. He said he had not
moved the shift lever since boarding
the boat and that the only other
occupant of the machine was his
ocli. nv "A'iiN'' 'N.0O
denied that the car was in speed for
the purpose of braking it, saying he
had the hand brake adjusted to hold
the machine. Macy could not state
whether the engine had started
from pressing the starter button and
attributed his lack of memory to the
excitement of the moment.
Asked how he thought the acci-
dent occurred Macy advanced as his
theory the statement that the boat
struck the wharf SO sharpl'' as to
jolt the car forward and drop the
shifting lever into speed. The wit
ness said he was listening to music
being played in the cabin of the
boat just before the accident and
was not paying particular attention
to anything else. AS a result, he
could not say whether the motor
was running when the car lurched
forward.
Objection to proceeding with the
Nagy trial was entered by Assistant
Prosecutor John E. Toolan yester-
day afternoon on the ground that
snany important state witnesses were
not present. 1t was contended that
these witnesses were not residents
of New Jersey and therefore could
not be compelled to obey n sub
poena.
The trial of Macy is on an indict-
ment for manslaughter returned by
the grand jury after Mrs. Edith
Slaight, of Tottenville, died as the
result of injuries received on Octo-
ber 23 when she was pinned against
a portion of the ferry slip "a Perth
Amboy by Nagy's car. The automo-
bile had been left in speed, it is
charged, and leaped forward when
the starter button was pressed.
Following Mr.. Toolan's objections
a consultation betty the court
and the attorneys was held on the
matter and the result was an agree
ment to continue the trial under
certain stipulations.
The stipulations accept as fact
that Mrs. Slaight was a passenger
on the ferryboat at the time of the
accident, that she was stareing In
front of Nagy's car, and that she
died from injuries received when the
automobile pinned her against the
bridge.
