APPEALS ON TAX
/. BREAK RECORDS
Increase of $6,382,033 in
Ratables Causes Many Ap-
pIiCations for Relief
FEW FROM THIS CITY
Woodbridge, Raritan and 9th
er Places Have Large
Number of Appeals
FEW FROM THIS CITY

With an increase of 6.3S2,03 in
Middlesex county ratables over last
year, the County Tax Board has re-
ceived a greater number of applica-
tions for relief from assessments
than in any previous year, President
Joseph A. Hermann announced to-
day.
The total ratables of the county
on which county, state and state
school taxes are apportioned are
STAG, SIS. Every taxing district
in the county shows an increase in
ratables and an examination of the
list of appeals shows that in the dis
trict with the largest ratable in
crease also has the largest number
of appeals.
An examination of the abstract
of ratables show that S2,213, ,949.74
must be raised by direct taxation
for the schools of Middlesex county
while the taxpayers must foot the
bill of $2,153, 3,236.01 in taxes for local
purposes other than schools. In ad-
dition to these amounts, the taxpay-
ers must also pay into the county
Golfers for the maintenance of the
county government the sum of S2,-
13,949.74.
An analysis of the state taxes
show that the twenty-four taxing
districts will contribute s146,290.52
in state road taxes, S384,525.5S in
state school taxes, S34,913.99 in sol
diers' bonus tax, $25,563.45 in state
bridge and tunnel taxes or the enor-
nous sum of S6,1S6,115.5S.
There was a veritable deluge OF
tax appeals on last Friday, the last
day for the filing of tax grievances
with the county board. Nearly half
of the appeals listed came to the
County Tax Board on Friday.
A total of 522 appeals have been
filed by the taxpayers of the county
and of this number ninety-four ap-
peals have been heard by the county
board. Sixty-one appeals are being
heard today at the court house
which were filed by the property
owners of Raritan township.

Yesterdays bridge approach
probe hearing at Trenton practi-
cally brought to close the states
investigation in the purchase for
$230,000 by the ousted highway
commission of land, valued at $780,
900 by the states appraisers. The
investigation was success mas
much as the w. j. Donnell Company,
which received the high price for it's
land. offered to return the $230,000
to the state upon return of the prop
orty to them and the offer was ac-
cepted. This did not stop the in
vestigation continuing, however, n
an effort to prove that sums of
money had been paid to influence
the paying of the exorbitant price
for the property, but the attorney
general was unable to prove that any
money had changed hands as a part
of this land deal.
The treasurer of the Donnell COM
pany, Thomas T. Evans. admitted
that his company had ''profited
handsomely" by getting s230,000 for
the property, according to County
Clerk B. NJ. Cannon, who was the
principal witness yesterday and ad-
mitted accepting bonds worth more
than $25,000 from the Donnell con-
cern as a present for favors he had
done for them on two occasions
one in getting lumber shipments for
the company during the. war, and
the other in using his influence with
George l.. Burton. chairman of the
ousted road board, to get fair
price" for the Donnell land.
The willingness of the Donnell
concern to voluntarily offer to re-
turn the $230,O00 paid by the state
for its property was taken by mem
bers of the investigating commission
and those closely conversant with the
case as an admission on the part of
the lumber company that an ex-
horbitant price had been paid.
Papers are now being drawn up
whereby the land will be returned
to the Donnell concern and the state
will get back it's $230,000. The
state will then condemn the prop
erty and thus acquire it at a price
which will be settled upon as fair
by condemnation commissioners.
Cannon denied throughout the
hearing yesterday that he had ap-
preached anyone but Burton in hav-
ing the road board buy the Donnell
tract for a flair price" He also de-
MED giving Burton anything for his
help in the matter, explaining that
the coupons from the bonds he (Gan-
nom received from Evans as pres
ent were given to Burton to pay
off a debt of several years standing
between the two men.
