BIC INCREASE
IN RATABLES
TO CUT RATE
County Rate to Be No Higher
Might Be One Point
Lower
GET TAX DUPLICATES
Several Places in County
Show Big Jumps in
Assessments

NEW BRUNSWICK, Jan. S.--An
increase of $S,000,000 or 5000, 900
in Middlesex county ratables is look
ed for by the County Board of Taxa
tion when the tax duplicates of the
assessors of the various municipali-
ties have been filed here this week.
These tax duplicates must be flied
with the county board not later than
Wednesday of this week, those from
Highland Park and Monroe township
already having been received. The
Highland Park report shows an in
crease of about three-quarters of a
million dollars in ratables.
If the tax duplicates show the an
tfcipated increase of between So ,0o0,-
900 and 100000 it is the belief of
the county board officials that the
1928 tax rate will be no higher than
last year with the possibility of it
being slightly lower.
This afternoon the county tax
board members go to Perth Amboy
where a meeting will be held with
the assessors of that city for the
purpose of going over the new fig
ures secured by the city assessors
following the receipt by them of in
structions from the county board to
increase the ratables, especially Of
the industries, in that city. 1t has
been reported that the Perth AM
boy ratables have been increased Is
or 20 per cent since they received
orders from the county board 10 re-
assess property there.
Proportionate increases have i1een
demanded by the county board
throughout the county. Woodbridge
is expected to have an increase in
ratables of about $1,000;000.

BRITISH ASK
SQUARE DEAL
General Discussion With
Maximum Amount British
Can Pay, Features Session

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. - Great
Britain wants a fair business settle
ment of her five billion dollar war
debt to the United States on such
terms as Will produce the least pos
sible disturbance in the trade rela-
| tions of the two countries. Sta1sfer
Baldwin the British chancellor of the
Exchequer, declared today in an ad-
dress before the joint meeting of the
British and American debt funding
commissions.
I'VE are not here to ask for favors
or to impose on generosity said Mr..
Baldwin. I'VE want a fair business
settlement, a square deal, a. settle
ment that will secure for America
the repayment to the last cent of
those credits which the United States
government established in America.
for us, their associates in the war;"
Mr.. Baldwin's address was in re-
ply to one of welcome by Secretary
Mellon, chairman of the American
lar appreciation of the courtesy of
the British government in having de-
signed as it's delegates men so dis
ltinguished. He called attention that
this was the first time a chancellor
of the excheQuer had left his coun-
try to participate in mission of
this character.
The treasury secretary assured the
British Representatives that the
American commissioners were no
less sensible than themselves to the
virtual necessity of effecting a def
mite settlement upon q basis entire
ly just to both. He added that the
prompt payment by Great Britain of
one hundred million dollars of in
terest during the past three months,
pending g, final arrangement, was, to
his mind. conclusive proof of the
right spirit of financial integrity
which he was proud to say had al
ways animated both of the two great
English speaking nations.
The British chancellor. in his re-
ply, approached the problem in a
broad general way, declaring the set
tlement would determine the mater
ial welfare of the great mass of
wage earners in Great Britain and
the United States. He submitted ex-
tensive statistics as to financial con-
ditions in Great Britain and a study
of these figures was begun i'm
mediately by the American commits
sion.
Indications were that the session
developed only a general discussion
with attention centered on a means
of determining the maximum amount
of money the British government
is able to pay annually in event an
agreement is made to amortize the
payments of nearly five billion dol
lars within the limit of twenty-five
years prescribed by congress,
There were suggestions that the
interest rate would be among the
first concrete phases to be consider
ed. since it is believed that on the
rate of interest depended to an ex-
tent the nature of other terms to
be fixed.
The British chancellor has insist
ed that his commission has no Gefin-
lite proposals to make and the Amer
lean commissioners repeatedly have
declared they have no intimation of
the British plans and that the Amer
lean government position would not
be determined until some proposition
has been laid down.
