 BOake Carter, CBS news an-
 alyst and commentator, has
 been given 8 contract renewal
 for B weeks effective FebrIi-
 ary "A, 1886, by his sponsor. In
 the last two years Carter's can-
 did views on political and eco-
 homie subjects have placed him
 i'm the front rank of radio news
 commentators. He came to radio from the Philadelphia
 Daily News and since the sum-
 mer of 1881 his microphone
 has been placed i'm spots
 throughout the country where
 news is being made. It was the
 Lindbergh kidnapping in March,
 1882, which aorded him his first
 network opportunity. Deluged
 by more than 15,0OO letters, his
 position as one of America's
 premier radio reporters was
 then virtually established. His
 "coverage" of the historic
 Hauptmann trial early this year
 was another high point in Car-
 ter'S career.

ing of the board of education this month. At the December session when no quorum was present, it was stated it was advisable to start the Millville transportation bus route by the first of the year. The con- tract has to be awarded, and the superintendent thought it probable at that time that special meeting of the board might have to be called before the January session to award this.
 However he stated today revised estimates have been submitted by the bidders and he believes that no meeting will be necessary. The in- dication was he will award the con- tract himself if any it let before the next meeting of the board.
 It is probable he will delay defl- mite action until the January meet ing which falls on next Thursday, Jan. 1. It was necessary to get re- vised estimates from bidders because of change in the proposed route and also clarify whether cost of in- surance was covered in the bids or not. High school pupils are to be transported from Millville.

Tax Enumeration


 There will be about 73O persons here required to pay the aid age assistante tax in February, an emu meration just completed showed to- day. This is at least $50 more than paid personal taxes, that figure running to almost 1000 persons.
 The enumerators checked on per- sons between the ages of 21 and 60 including the 60 years old. All are required to pay the $3 tax, this being the first year that such a tax hase been asked. The g per- sonal tax has been done away with.
 Tax Collector James Fitzgerald said today that bills are being print ed now and will be sent out as soon as the job is done. The tax is due February and residents have un- til the end of February to pay. As yet nobody has been named to act as assistant to MT. Fitz- patrick in collecting this tax. MT. Fitzpatrick has the power of ap- pointment and Warden Sheridan sets the salary. If an appointment is made, it will have to be made within tho next two or three weeks.
 The enumerators were George Fellows, Thomas St. John, William Dolan and Joseph Jackson. There are still about 250 local residents who have not paid their property taxes, due Dec. 31, 1883 and payable Dec. 31, 1884. They have until Dec. 30 of this year in which to pay, Tax Collector Fitzgerald announced today
 If they do not pay by that time, liens will be laid on their property and will cost considerably more to lift. All who owe this tax have re- ceived lien notices. Some have re- sponded, the tax collector said, but there are still many who have not needed the warnings.
 This tax should not be confused with the Dec. 1884 tax payable Dec. 31, 1885. As yet no drive for this has been made because the taxes are not due.
