kATO PLEASED
WITH ATTITUDE
Says Japan is Appreciative of
Ernestness Displayed by
Coolidge and Hughes

TOXIC, Dec. 23 (By The Asso-
ciated Press Responding to offic-
ial expressions from the United
States, and American editorial opin-
ion, as cabled here regarding Jap
anese- American relations, Premier
Kato tonight told the Associated
Press of his appreciation of the new
est aspect of the situation between
the two countries.
Japan is keenly appreciatiye of
the earnestness displayed by Presi-
dent Coolidge and Secretary
Hughes" said the premier. in de-
nouncing efforts of naval propagan-
dists to embroil Japan and America,
we are hardly less grateful for the
extraordinary expressions of cordial
ity used in welcoming the new am
bassador to the United States.
america has thus given further
assurance of the realness OF her
friendship towards Japan. We are
not misled by the vicious activities
of irresponsible groups of individ-
uals in either country. We know the
United STATES desires peace; we
know Japan desires peace.
Japan is not contemplating war
with any CT untry nor preparing IN
secret. nnr overtly for war. She
maintains her national defense as
best she can and in doing so is COM
forted by the knowledge that Amer
lean authorities have repeatedly af-
firmcd their confidence. in spirit and
in fact. of American adherence to
the principles to which both coun-
tries have committed themselves"
In conclusion. the premier said
earnestly:
1--WE expect to conduct our rela-
tiors with America in all their de-
velopments in the faith that we are
striving for the day we shall obtain
our goal onlv through honest CO.
operation In this belief we are un-
able to regard any question between
the two countries as incapable
of Amicable and satisfactory solu-
tion,"

CARTERET TAX
CASE MYSTERY.
Drop of S230,000 in vaIua-
tionS Not Explained by
County Officials
HERMANN SEES ERROR
With Secretary of Board
Says Figures Published
Were Same as Sent Him

CARTERET, Dec. 23:-An effort
to clear up the mystery which sur
rounds the huge cut in the Carteret
second class railroad valuations for
1925 made by the Evening News to-
day was futile.
According to figures made public
late yesterday afternoon by the State
Board of Equalization of Taxes at
Trenton, through the Middiesex
County Board of Taxation, there is a
decrease of more than S230.000 in
the borough's second class railroad
valuation. The second class railroad
valuations in Carteret this year were
$275,102. For next year the figure Is
set at S41.554. This cut brings the
total in the county for next year TO
s5,S49,670 as against $5,9S7,36 in
1924.
Joseph A. Hermann. president of
the county tax board when question:
ed over the telephone today said that
a clerical error has apparently mud
died up the figures. He could not
account for such a large decrease
These figures are made up by the
State Board of Equalization of Taxes
at Trenton and while the county
board has nothing whatsoever to do
with it. 1 cannot see how such a
decrease is possible" Mr.. Hermann
said. 1 =.
At the county seat a question was
raised, whether the recent trade
made by the Borough of Carteret
with Woodbridge township. whereby
the borough received the Steinberg
tract for a parcel vr railroad prop
erty at Port Rea ding had something
10 do with the decrease. It was pre-
sumed that there may have been a
small decrease. but not as large as
that included in the figures.
Frank Deiner, secretary of the
Middlesex County Board of Taxation
was also amazed at the big reduc-
tion. He believed that the Wood
bridge -Carteret exchange of proper
ty had something to do about it
He said that the matter will be taken
up with the state board January 1l
and determine whether the figures
were correct or not
The second class ratables fol-
Wood bridge for this year are $2,00S.-
AIS. The figure for 1925 is $2,126,-
993, an increase of over $11S,000.

TRENTON. Dec. 23.-Seven ap-
peals involving tax assessments of
Hudson county waterfront property
aggregating $3.50 500. for 1928 and
1924 taxes are being heard today by
the state Board of Taxes and Assess
ment. The property is held by the
Morris and Cummings Dredging
Company and the Point Breeze Ferry
and Improvement Company. The
land is located in Jersey City and
Bayonne. The appeals seek to have
the assessments reduced to a figure

the assessment placed by the local
governments cover property other
than that owned by the concerns.
The figures were appealed to the
Hudson county Board of Taxation.
which dismissed some of the appeals
and affirmed the assessments in
others without prejudice.
