NEW BRUNSWICK, Jan. 13.-
Tax duplicates from the borough OF
Sayreville were the first inspected
by the county board of taxation
when it met yesterday for the pur-
pose of going over the books sub
mitted by the various local tax
boards, through the county. The
work will probably continue steadily
until the returns of all municipali-
ties in the county have been inspect
ed.
While the board seems to be re-
luctant about making definite state
ments regarding the situation at
Sayreville. it is understood that a
decrease in ratahle> amounting to
approximately $4,000 will be
show Instead OF decrease an in
crease of at least 100000 had been
anticipated and dissatisfaction with
the returns has been expressed by
members OF the board. Assessor Abb
raham Feihly was present while the
Sayreville books were being exam
ined yesterda. and he probably will
be called again today. 1t was said.
Lowest In County
The stated decrease at Sayreville
is interesting 6 in view of the fact that
the state board claims that munich
patty to BE- the lowest taxing district
in the county and only assessed to
13 per cent. of it's total valuation.
Assessor Feihly explained that a
large decrease was caused by con-
ditions at the powder plants at Say
reville. Ibe du Pont Company at
Parlin. according to the assessor,
showed a reduction OF 500, 900 in its
valuation while the decrease of the
Hercules Company was $4,000.
Mr.. Feihly pointed out that the
marked decrease was caused by the
large number OF practically useless
buildings ct the plants at present
and also by the considerable reduc-
tion in stock. personal property, pipe
lines. and similar things which were
used during the war period.

When the next list of Jurors call
ed for service in the district court
here is filed it will contain the names
CT q large number of women, ac-
cording to John J. Quinn, clerk Of
the court, who said this morning
that the list was being prepared now
and would be filed early next month.
One thousand names will be placed
upon the list and at least half OF
these will be women, Mr.. Quinn said.
While grand jury duty and service
on petit juries have included women
members since last summer, this is
the first time local women have
been called upon to serve in the dis
trlct court here. Many women have
served on county Juries since the
Inauguration of the new system and
doubtless the district court will have
the services of a goodly number of
experienced jurywomen at the next
session.
Jury cases are of fairly frequent
recurrence here and the women will
nkncw what it is to discard aprons or
ridge scores and go up to the city
2liall to decide the merits of law
suit occasionally. The attitude CT
