Judge Fake Once More
Assails Bergen Tax

In addition to the data which l have
heretofore furnished through the col
umns of this paper, | enlightened the
Freeholders last week as to the Coun-
ty tax rates in our several neighbor-
ing Counties. These rates are as fol-
lows; Hudson County 81, Essex
County so, and Passaic County only
80 while we carry the load at 90
The total borrowing capacity of Ber-
gen County, otherwise known as the
bonded debt limit" is in round fig
ures S8,500,000, as against which we
have already issued and outstanding
S6,500,000, leaving us with a margin
of only S2,000,000, to meet any emer-
gency such as would occur through
flood damage to roads and bridges, or
fire damage to public buildings, and
the like.
The County budget for this year
proposes a further increase over last
year of about 100000, and l believe
that the Board can, if it wills to do so,
go below last years limit of expend-
itures by the adoption of the prop
ositions hereinbefore suggested. If
they do these things and continue the
policy over a period of years the Coun-
ty tax rate will begin to step down
toward the rates enjoyed by the tax
payers in our surrounding Counties
Palisadian., 1925-01-30

for each year the County accumulates
several millions of increases in valua-
tions which would of course tend to
reduce the rate.
Let us assume for a moment that
the Freeholders refuse to make reduc-
tions as suggested and continue the
extravagant policy which has been
followed for the past fifteen years.
Then let us assume that we build a
bridge across the Hudson River, and
thereby increase our valuations by an
additional S170,000000 These ad-
ditional valuations instead of reduc-
ing the tax rate will, as in the past,
increase the same another 210 per
cent, making a total of 420 per cent.
This illustration points out what I
think very clearly the stupendous non
sense in which we have been indulg-
ing for fifteen years last passed,
which nonsense must now stop or it
will stop us by it's own momentum.
The Board of Freeholders is not
alone to be blamed for the situation
in which we now find ourselves. Our
local governing bodies, our improve
ment associations. and numerous
minority blocs, for selfish reasons
only, have constantly harassed and
annoyed this Board with urgings for
all sorts of public expenditures. There
being no organized effort to back the
members who would economic, they
have been compelled to maintain their
seats through giving in to these de-
mands, and so they may say, more or
less truthfully, that they have given
the people of Bergen County the kind

FOOTBALL
The football team of the High
School played tie game with Jersey
City a week ago last Saturday and
ended their season. Their splendid
work this year gives promise of
strong team next season. The work
of Mitchell, Fox and Geribrossi was
especially good, and Robert Cadien at
quarter ran his team like clock.
TAX RATE
The tax rate in the Borough of Fort
Lee for 1909 was $1.90 per $100; for
1908, $1.60 per 500.
Palisade is seven years old; $50
houses have been erected, and it has
a population of seven hundred.
BABY FOEPPEL KISSED
When Mr.. Roosevelt passed through
Hasbrouck Heights during his tour OF
New Jersey in May, there was large
crowd to greet him. In his carriage
sat baby Gustave Foeppel, grand
child of our fellow townsman, Herr
w. ]. Foeppel. His mother was near
and had given the little fellow small
American flag to wave, which he was
doing very vigorously as the ex-Presi-
dents automobile passed. The pic
ture caught the eye of Mr.. Roosevelt,
and halting the car, he leaped down
and kissed him. The incident was
roundly applauded, and the Foeppels
are feeling highly honored over it.
GONE TO EUROPE
Mrs. A. F. Beckmann and her son
George sailed June 20 for an extend
ed stay in Europe. Owing to the ill
mes of his partner, Mr.. Beckmann
could not leave, but will join his fam
lily later. George said he was home
sick before he started.

Ely was victorious in the first
home game. A pass in the last few
minutes Of play gives them a victory
on a score of to 6.
For a number of years Two Har-
bors has. handed the Ely High
School one athletic defeat after an
ether; but last Saturday at the Mem
srial feld Two Harbors was given a
taste of their own medicine. The
game was exceedingly hard fought
and must have been exciting for the
onlookers yelled necessarily. The
visitors outweighed the locals by
about fifteen pounds to 4 man, but
what the home team lacked in
weight they made up in fight. The
locals deserved the victory for they
outplaysd, outfought, and outgener-
aled the visiting eleven throughout
the greater part of the game.
Two Harbors kicked-off in the
first quarter; Ely taking the ball on
their own 80 yard line. Steady
line plunging by Bill Maxi and
Pucel brought the bail within 20
yards of the Two Harbors goal
posts. Unfortunately, however, the
Two Harbors line strengthened and
Ely lost the ball on downs. After
a few line plays Stein of Two Har-
bors punted. The ball remained in
the proximity of midfield through
out the rest of the quarter.
Early in the second quarter the
North Shore men marched up the
field, but the defense of the home
team frightened and the Two Har-
bors men were held for downs.
On their last down they completed
lucky pass which was good for
80 yards. With the bali on the 5
yard line and first down, the Two
Harbors backfield men were forced
to hit the line four times before
they were able to cover such a
small distance as 5 yards. The
failure of Two Harbors to kick goal
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1925-10-09

was the cause of their defeat. Just
before the first half ended Bill Maxi
of Ely intercepted Two Harbors
pass. However he was without in
reference and a Two Harbors' man
tackled him before he could break
away.
The two teams battled on even
terms throughout the third period.
The visiting team was playing the
more open style of football, while
the locals kept to their charging
tactics. The wide end runs and
trick plays attempted by the Two
Harbors team during this period
failed completely. The Ely line
men charged through the Two Har-
bors line and stopped the opposing
backfield men before they could get
started.
1t was during the fourth quarter
that the home team clearly out
classed the Two Harbors aggrega-
ton. Twice the Ely team marched
to within the Two Harbors 10 yard
line, but both times they were re-
pulsed. Desperate line plunging by
the Ely backfield brought the ball
within striking distance the first
time. A 80 yard end run by Helix
kila coupled with 10 yard gain by
Bill Maxi again brought the ball
within scoring distance. However,
both times Ely lost the ball on
downs and Two Harbors punted out
of danger. With but three minutes
left to play Ely began another de-
termined advance, which was aid
ed by Two Harbors penalty for
Is yards. Three downs were vast
ed in an attempt to cross the last
white line. Then a pass; Heikkila
to Mariani and Ely had scored
their first touchdown of the sea-
son. A Ave minutes later Heikkila
kicked perfect goal for the extra
point. A point which meant the
home teams first victory of the
season.
The form of the home team was
the best yet shown this season.
The offense worked smoothly and
considerable strength was noticeable
on the defense as the Two Har-
bors team was unable to gain
ground over the Elv line.
Mariani was the Ely star on the
line, while Bill Maxi and Heikkila
shared honors in the backfeld.
