TOWNSHIPS TO
CUT TAX BILLS
Hunterdon's Rural Districts Are
Slicing Everything But Road
Appropriations in 1923.
DELAWARE LEADS THEM ALL

Several Hunterdon County town
ships show gratifying decreases in
their budgets for taxation.
The township of Lebanon shows a
drop from $9,s35.S9 to $5,6l612 in the
amount to be collected by taxation,
and total drop in expenditures from
$12,370.s9 to $500, but the road ex-
pense of $500 remains the same.
The special road appropriation will
be increased from $1,000 to $4,000 de-
spite the total drop in the budget.
Delaware Township, this city's
neighbor, drops its taxation from $685.
S96.35 to $12,253,47, or drop of
one-half. and the budgets total is
dropped from $43,092.35 to $19,S73.-
AZ. The road appropriation Of $4,000
remains the same, however. No other
township in the county has made
so drastic a cut.
Raritan Township has cut its total
budget from $I9.912,9S to 1915, 226.43
but the cut in taxation to be raised
is only from $15.952 10 to $lS,776.4S
The general road appropriation of
$4,000 remains the same, This town
ship originally included Pennington
Borough, and surrounds that NUM-
cipality.
Alexandria Township cuts its tax
-. 4 ~ hat w
cuts its budget total from S12,700 to
$12,016.l4, beng able to appropriate
$2,07l ID from it's surplus revenue. Its
road appropriation Of $1,000 remains
unchanged. This township lies partly
along the Mnsconetcpng Mountain,
in the Northwestern part of the coun-
ty.
East Amwel Township, which in
cludes Ringoes Village, announces II
reduction of budget from $l9,423.76
to $l1 ,70a.34, and a reduction in tax
alton from $13,373.76 to $9,009. "a, but
actually increases It's road appropri-
ations to about double last years ex-
penditures,
FRANKLIN HAS CUT,
Franklin Township viii cut its tax
alton from $l4,39050 to 13,190,s9;
not a large drop, but there's an ac-
tual increase in the road appropria-
tions. The regular road expenditure
Of $4,000 remains the same, but extra
moneys are provided for the Croton,
Quakertown and Pittstown-Clinton
roads, with cut from $500 to $4,000
in the n-Cherryville road
appropriation, this also including a
part of the INSTRUMENTATION
road.
TO offset some of the other de
creases, the township of Union shows
an increase from $6,24011 to SILL
$3.50 in the amount of taxes TO be
raised, although the budget actually
decreases from $13,136.S5 to $12,-
1902. so The road appropriations OF
this township are all cut, the general
fund from $1,000 to $4,000 and the
CEnton-P ittstown road from l,20C
TO $572.31. Most of the actual income
for the year will go to pay off bonds
and clear up deficits.
Incorporated towns generally show
an increase, although Hampton Bor-
ough is rather an exception, cutting
It's taxation from $9,G7402 to $8,G86,-
81. The budget cut is 1897. General
expenditures will all remain about
the same, excepting balance on curb
ing, which helps bring about the re.
duction.

once more war correspondents,
~ last week, were looking up steam
er and rail schedules to the Near East.
The headline writer's found their IA
vorlte war cloud hanging over that
part of the world again. The Lausanne
conference came to an end, for the time
being at least, without the signing of
a peace treaty. and the air was filed
with the recrmiuations and defiant
phrases Of the British and the Turks.
In the last days OF the conference the
American representatives, ably second
ed by the Italian and French delegates,
tried earnestly TO persuade lsmet Pasha
to yield TO Marquis Curz0n's ultima
tum. The Turk argued that II was use
less for him 10 sign a pact which he
was sure would not be ratified by the
national assembly at Angora. He had

or two later the conference broke up.
The British, the Greeks and the
Turks all had been exceedingly active
In a military way anticipating the fail
ure of the negotiations, and at this
writing there is real danger of an out
break of hostilities. For the time chief
attention was conferred on Smyrna
The Turkish governor there ordered all
allied warshlps to quit the harbor with

British and Italian governments re-
piled with an order to their vessels to

OF attack The British also hurried
naval reinforcements. Preparations
were made TO take the foreign colonies
aboard ship. 1t was said the Turks
were mounting siX-inch guns on the
south side of the Gulf of Smyrna,
where the shallow waters force ships
entering the harbor TO hug the shore.
However, the governor postponed the
time for attempting to enforce his or

said the matter was not serious and
would be settled soon. The Paris press
was not so optimistic asserting a dec

TT is not necessary TO go into details
l. as 70 the Turkish objections To the
peace treaty that was submitted TO
thefn. Both Lord Curzon and Ismet
Pasta asserted they had gone TO the
limit In concessions. Ismet baked es-
pecially at the proposed provisions for
guarantees for the security of the per-
sons and property of foreigners in Tur-
key. and at certain economic financial
clauses. The French and Italian dele
gates warmly supported Lord Curzon.
In formal statement Curzon said he
rejected several overtures for the con
clusion Of q separate peace between
England and Turkey.
1t Is pointed out that in case of war
the Turks would have the advantage In
Asia Minor at the start and could
speedily drive the British out Of Mosul.
On the other hand, Constantinople
would be at the mercy of the British
feet, and the British troops there could
retire to Chatalja and there join forces
with some 100000 Greek troops from
the Martha river line.

the sort that would make life for others betters, more enjoyable, more productive. Certainly none of these workers may be accused of having chosen these lines because they felt they would grow rich in material things because of their labor in it. They have to live, these workers. Most of them would be far better off tinan- cialIy had they gone into something else. Certainly they would have seen and been depressed by less of suffer ing and sorrow. Certainly they give of themselves to far greater extent than do people in other walks of life. If they are not laborers worthy of their hire there are no such laborers in this world of ours.
 And standing back of them. work ing with them as far as they can, are many others who give time and money to such causes without thought of re- ward. They, too, are prompted by the same splendid love of humanity which called the skilled workers into this cause without which suffering and misery would multiply manifold. We give them all their just due.

Haynes Pleads for Cooperation to
 Enforce Dry Law

New York, Dec. 10.-A plea for cooperation with the federal govern ment by state and municipal officials and the general public in the enforce ment and observance of the pro- bbiition law in New York, where the government lis obliged to mill out from 600 to 1,000" violations a month, was made here today by Prohibition Commissioner Haynes in addressing a citizenship conference.
 ''The federal governments re- sponsibiity in this matter" said MT Haynes. ''is manfestly to handle the smuggling situation along the coast and the borders, and the control of the source of supply within the United States. These major operations will be interfered with in proportion as you load on to the federal govern ment all of the things that you your selves should locally do.''
 The most important problem facing the prohibition forces today, he con tinued, is one affecting the very apex of society,"" He added that - in his opinion the greatest help that can be rendered by such group of citizens as this. IS among the leaders of society. namely, fin the clubs and among the commercial and profess sional and society men and women of your city
 Every state, county and city, said Commissioner Haynes. should bear its share of the enforcement of every one of the mandates and the guaran- ties of the federal constitution. in- eluding the eighteenth amendment"
 "ThN federal government" he said, should not be called upon to put on a police uniform and police your back yards The little. frivolous, local violation should be handled by the local officials, and your local officials will listen to you if you have the courage 10 let your convictions and desires be known"

NEW BRITAIN SPIRIT

Reference is not made to any spirit or civic pride initiative. energy, as shown in the activity or lack Of it in this city today. The spirit" here emphasized is that which inspired the first men who founded New Britain to create somcthing and to create in such a way that through tho articles they made, they would get into touch with the outside world so far removed from this settlement as il was when tho blacksmith shop vas the man uracturing pfawl' and the smith" tho leading citzru.
 This old spirit was mentioned rc- gently whore portions of the early his tory of New Britain were read and comments made by many of those present some of whom bore the same names as those who were among the first settlers or this community. With plenty Of land for farming purposes at tlaat time, and with the fine opportuni- ties for developing it unhampcred by modern conditions, New Britain might have become the center Of farming instead of a manufacturing communi- ty had it not been for that urge to create, that determination to become individual This desire was rostered when the realization came that thcre was watrr-power in the region these pioneers had chosen for their settle mcnt, and this watrrpowpr, small as it seems to us today. was seized upon eagerly long before i, was possible to bring coal into tho community, The blacksmith shop was a manufacturing plant, tbo smith tho leading citizen.
 It does us ail good, today to realize that back Of tbn splendid reputation for achievement New Britain has gained throughout the world, there were those sturdy men in leather aprons and strength in thrir bcarts who sowcd the seeds of tho industry which, developed as facilities came has made New Britain what it Is. Well may each worker here. each employer Of workers, be inspired to greater love for his work. greater ambition. by tho realization that early in the life of New Britain there was in its stmos- pherc that determination to add per- mancnt wealth to the little world with which New Britain could communi- cate and which New Britain could supply with thr things that were nocd- cd 50 badly in the new country.
