New War i'm So. AmbOy
On Assessment Mans

SOUTH AMBOY, March 21:-
There's a niger in the woodpile
somewhere, and something is rotten"
shouted Councilman Disbrow last
night at the meeting of the common
council when the matter of an as
sessment map for the city was up for
reconsideration after it had been
vetoed by Mayor Chase. The coun-
Gilman not alert to the situation
voted Eyes" but quickly changed his
vote when he realized that he had
voiced to override the mayors veto.
"In 1908" continued the council
man from the fourth ward, 1--WE had
an assessment map made and again
in 1914 we had another. The latter
was on a larger scale, and while I
don't happen to know what the first
one cost the taxpayers / do know
that the latter one cost $500. 1 can
not see why we should buy our own
assessment map back again and If
the council will declare a recess for
about five minutes IL get the maps
out of the vault downstairs"
The councilman hurriedly went for
the books and presented them for
the rest Of the council to view. 1t
was found, however, that the maps
Mr.. Disbrow had in mind were only
block books.
The meeting was again called to
order and Councilman Delaney de-
clared that the books in question
were not assessment maps and bore
not the slightest resemblance to one.
Councilman Disbrow answered by
saying: ''They yer bought as assess
ment maps and stand as assessment
maps. Councilman Delaney argued
that the maps in question told none
Of the details that an assessment
map would. MI. Dfsbrow answered
that the assessors were paid to find
out who lived at such and such a
number and on such and such a
block, and it vas up to them to find
out.
Mr.. Delaney called attention to
certain municipalities within close
proximity to South Amboy where as
sessment maps were made and with
good results. Take South River"
continued Mr.. Delaney. Since the
first Of the year we have been asked
to look into much Of the doings of
this place and Sayrevillo and many
other places where assessment maps
have been compiled at an expense of
anywhere from ten to twelve thou
sand dollars. In every instance those
