Agnew Speaks for
Tax Exempt Repeal

Trenton, Feb. 14.-There was large
gathering here this morning to take
part in the hearing on the bill of
Assemblyman Todd of Bergen to re-
peal the Runyon housing tax eXemp-
ton act of 1920, which provides that
Il new dwelling, erected between OctO-
ber l, 1920 and October /, 1922, shall
be exempt from municipal taxation for
five years.
Director James F. Cannon of Jersey
City came here to head the opponents
of the repeater and to plead for the
tax emption idea.
Former Assemblyman Arthur Agnew
of Bergen came as leader of the sup
porters Of the Todd bill and the foes
of tax exemption. In speaking for the
Todd bill, Mr.. Agnew said in part:
Il believe this act to be unconStitu-
tional, as our constitution provides
that property shall be assessed for
taxes under general laws and by uni
form rules according to its true value
THE tax exemption act was passed
no doubt with the idea in view of re-
lieving the housing situation SO as to
provide living quarters for the family
of the worker or average man. l be-
lieve the development will show that
nearly all the houses or dwellings
built since the exemption act went into
effect were those of one or tWo-family
houses or high-class apartments, all of
which are absolutely out of reach of
the ordinary working man.
1T is very evident that from the
character of building development we
have had it has been absolutely no
check to rent protiteering, as | believe
we are all aware that rents are just
as high, if not higher now than they
We're when the tax exemption act went
into effect.
Il feel fully convinced that although
a large number of new houses have
been recently constructed throughout
Bergen county, that this development
was not due to the provisions of the
tax exemption act, but that the main
factors in this development were the
reduction in the prices of labor and
materials and also the easing up of
money, making it possible to secure
mortgage loans.
rs it fair to those who have built
houses at very high prices to pay the
full amount of taxes while those who
build at the low prices in effect since
the exemption act, are to be carried
free of charge for a period of five
wears? Is this not unfair and unjust
discrimination?
No doubt the state of New Jersey in
adopting the tax exemption act was
inclined to follow the state of New
York. If l am correctly informed, the
act passed by New York state is "a
referendum act and is not effective
until adopted by any given municipal
ity, and that there is also provision
limiting the amount of exemption to
$1,000; believe it says $1,000 to each
family, and 1 shall say, gentlemen, in
conclusion, that the people of Bergen
county ask and demand that you pass
the bill of Assemblyman Todd repeal
ing the tax exemption act and give us
relief from a condition that is seri-
ously affecting the financial condition
of our towns
