MOnmOuth's Tax
Board Puzzle

Monmouth county municipalities
opposed to the arbitrary $50, 600, 900 val
uation increase demand of
the state. board of taxes and assess
ments fired shot at Freehold Satur-
day. turning in assessment books
showing an approximate increase of
$40, 773, 1877 s21 ,227, 1858 less than the
amount stipulated by the state tax
body.
Fourteen municipalities took up-
on themselves to assess for sums
greater than those stipulated by the
county board. They were Long
Branch, Deal, Allenhurst, Eatontown
township, Milestone township, Allen
town, Keyport. Monmouth Beach,
Oceanport, Seabright and Sea Girt,
Marlboro, West Long Branch,
Interlaken.
Every one Of the Ia municipalities
who exceeded the assessment mark
set by the county, with the exception
of Eatontown, Long Branch, Sea
Girt and Keyport, we're free Of the
increase demand. The county pre-
viously adjudged their particular as
sessments asrehecting true andequitable
values.
Several municipalities, including
Belmar and Spring Lake came with
in hairs breadth of coming within
the select circle. The majority, how
ever, made little pretense of acceding to
the edict Of the state.
Three municipalities Holmdel
Atlantic township and up
per Freehold township-reported as
sessments smaller than those of last
year.
Members Of the county board made
plain that the figures cannot be &C
eepted as final. They pointed out
that virtually every taxing district has
an appeal allowance pending on
the 1924 account, which will increase
the margin between the assessment Of
last year and that Of this.
At the conclusion Of the tentative
examination Of the reports Chairman
Twins announced that assessors who
wished to revise their figures in CON
fornity wirh the county's apportion-
ment could do SO. At the time the
was not availed Of, tho it
was reported last night that the
Spring Lake assessor was endeavor-
the county board.
The statements, after being more
closely reviewed by the board, will be
znrned over to the state body, Chair
s...-a5 WINS announced, stating that
this is the customary procedure. He
gave no intimation Of what action he
believed the state would take toward
municipalities which virtually fiouted
it's demands.
Observers believe that the states
next move will be to return the as
sessment reports and ask that the
county board revise them to reach
the demanded 100000 total. The
county board it is limited, will take
the attitude that such is physical inn
possibility without the help of a
corps of tax experts.

STRAIGHT TALKS
WITH AUNT EMMY


Aunt Emmy and Maud were talking
about saving money.
sWhat does savings bank do with
the money people put in It, Aunt EN-
my7" inquired Maud.
"It Is invested in sound mortgages,
perhaps, or government and corpora
ton securities. You see. the men who
run savings banks are trained dnan-
ciers. They know what securities are
good and what are questionable, so
they invest the banks funds-that is.
the money they receive from their de-
pOsitors-in the best securities In
such q way that they win be able to
pay you interest on your deposits and
be able to return your money to you
when you want 1t. In order to do that
they must invest In securities that pay
a higher rate Of interest than they give
you to cover the bank expenses and
set aside surplus against emergen-
cies."
~But. Aunty. II the banks invest our
money. why can't we invest Il our
selves2"
1--WE could If We knew as much
about investments as the bank does.
Bankers are not likely to make the
mistakes made by the ordinary person.
They are not deceived by impressive
looking stock certificates. plausible
letters from brokers or charming
voices over the telephone urging them
to buy this or that. Your banker Is
hard-headed business man who inves-
hgatss thoroughly befors he invests
the banks money. For this reason
many conservative persons prefer to
keep their savings In a savings bank,
knowing that their money Is in wise
hands and that even though the rate
Of interest they get may be moderate
their money is far safer than It would
be II It were invested less skiilfuily.T
Surely, though. II must be possible
90 get more than per cept on your
money and yet be safe" Maud said
TT is under certain conditions
Aunt Emmy agreed. The trouble ia
that so few people are frank about
their money matters with men who
really can be trusted for advice. They
would rather take the advice OF a
glib stock salesman No matter how
small sum a person is thinking OF
investing. advice should be sought
from a trust company or bank. Wo-
msn especially don't seem to realize
this.
~The savings bank is always safe.
II is good plan to keep putting mon-
ey IN the savings bank until you have
a good sum. Then withdraw part and
invest It in some security paying
higher rate Of interest. But be sure
to seek good advice before you buy.
In this way you can always have some
cash on hand In the bank, yet gradual
ly convert most OF your savings into
high grade securities. . - ANIME B.

The county bankers have appreci-
ated for some time the seriousness OF the
agricultural situation, and have CO.
operated In numerous ways to help
toward its relief. One of their efforts
has been to help finance the work of
The Potato Improvement Committee.
Several activities that are for the
rovement OF agiCultur Q, which the
nty Extension Service has been

The Century once gave some examp-

anatomy seams to cause confusion, as
witness these examples from examina-

"Circulation is beet that goes all

"Cause OF narrow chests is most fe-

"You should not work either before

The Ars Of LIfs.

II was remarked In recent article
upon woman's dress In cur columns
that when a Frenchwoman plans q
costume she plans ii as whole, and
that every part has to bear its proper
relation to the whole; whereas an
Englishwoman at the dressmaker's Ia
apt to say: THAT win do" and to
choose each particular item Of her
dress just because she takes fancy
to it and without considering its rela-
ton to other items In fact, the
Frenchwoman puts more fundaT entail
brainwork into her choice. She plans
and foresees, and considers not only
the fashion but her own peculiarities,
with the result that her dress has
character and seems all Of a piece.
The French have this superiority in
many things besides dress. They
have it. indeed, in nearly all the min
or arts OF life. which they take far
more seriously than we do Perhaps
that is the reason why we are apt to
think OF them as frivolous nation.--
