RATAbLES GUT
DUE TO GOAL
That is Situation in Piscat-
away Where Coal Pockets
Are Located

NEW BRUNSWICK, Jan. 2S.-
The present coal shortage and the
dismantling of the various wartime
plants located in this county will
result in large decrease in ratables
in certain sections of Middlesex
county. The county tax board, at its
meeting yesterday. found that in Pts
Getaway, where the South Plainfied
coal pockets are situated, the rata
bles for 1923 will be about $275,-
900 less than those of last year This
is caused by the absence of any coal
at the storage grounds of the Lehigh
Valley in South Plainfield. Last year
the ratables against the coal in stor-
age amounted to $275.000. This year
there is no coal stored there and
consequently this big item is COM
pletely wiped out.
The Sayreville tax duplicates show
decrease of about one-quarter of
a. million in ratables as the result
of the dismantling of three war
plants. The Hercules Powder plant
shows loss in valuation of $93,o00;
the DUPONT plant a loss of 100000
and the Gillespie plant, $65,000. This
latter loss in ratables is due to the
conveyance of about 5000 acres CT
land over to the government, but
the county board feels that this
transaction has not been completed.
making 1t possible for Abraham
Feihle to still keep up the rata bies
in this one instance. Mr.. Feihle was
instructed to endeavor to make up
this amount.
In Helmetta, instructions had been
given the assessor, Alfred Schuyler,
to increase the 1928 ratables at least
10 per cent over the 1922 figures. In
stead of thos increase being made,
the county board has found upon in
vestigation. that Helmetta 1928 rata
b1es are less than last years and
almost on a par with the 1921 fig
ures. The tax duplicates have been
returned to the assessor with in
structions to revise his figures. No
material increase wac noted in the
large Heime sniff mills. located at
Helmetta, and regarded as one of
the most important plants in the
county, from taxable standpoint.

TRENTON, Jan. 23-Breaking
all known precedents IN the matter
Of transmitting messages to the leg

the Oldest observer could recall,
Governor George s Silzer last night
appeared before a joint session Of
the lawmakers and delivered an ad-

which was his announcement that
the highway commission had been
sunfmarily removed from office The
governors action in personally ap-

c1ear-cut set. of recommendations
for the considering of the Republ.-

was greeted with applause from the
well-filled galleries and throngs up
on the floor
No Detailed Comment
In removing the road board the
executive made no detailed COM

he intimated that he was not sure
whether all the criticisms made #
the commissioners in past months
were true Or not, but in any event
he believed that the board had lost
public confidence, as he recently
told the Cumberland county free
holders in a sharp rebuke to that
body So in his message last night,
afte4 going into the general ques-

the executive declared.
Under the power conferred up
on me by law, I have this day ex-

100 WAYS
To Make Money
BY BILLY WINNER
If I Enjoyed shopping

If Enjoyed shopping
I'D SHOP for others.
Women living in the small
er cities of this state know
would be glad to learn of my
service. There are women in
Perth Amboy, too, who do not
come downtown very often, and
there are others who do not like
to shop.
1 know that if enjoyed shop
ping, I'd want to help those who
didn't. They'd be glad to have
me do their shopping.
So this is what I'd do-I'd run
a Want Ad in the Perth Amboy
Evening News offering my SER
vices as a shopper for other peo-i
pie. I'd charge a -man per cent
as my commission. Soon l would
become so skillful as a buyer
that 1 would save for my Gus
toners more than enough
money to pay my commissions.
And when that happened I
would run another Want Ad in
the Perth Amboy Evening News
and get a lot more customers.
