OAKLAND TAX RATE TO RE
MAIN AT 60 CENTS PER 500
Council Passes Ordinance Pro-
hibiting Itinerant and Transient
Merchants


That the city tax rate for Oakland
would remain at 60 cents per 500 of
assessable property, was announced
following the regular meeting of the
Mayor and Town Council on Monday
evening.
"In order to keep the tax rate at
this figure, it is necessary that some
drastic reductions be made in the an
nual cost of government" declared
Lawrence NJ. Fraley, mayor, "but it
is our opinion that these reductions
can be made without impairing the
services which the city government
renders to the taxpayers"
The assessable basis for the town
is approximately two million dollars.
The town also passed an ordinance
against itinerants and transient mer-
chants, solicitors, etc, and also
amended another ordinance increasing
the license fees necessary for certain
kinds of house to house canvassing.
This does not affect farmers who call
on residents with vegetables, ETC., that
they have produced on their own land.
The new ordinance declares it nui-
sance for solicitors, peddlers, hawkers,
and itinerants to be in or upon private
residences, not having been requested
or invited by the owner, for the pur-
pose of soliciting orders for the sale
of goods, wares and merchandise and
disposing of the same. Violation Of
the ordinance calls for a fine of from
81 to S25. The ordinance is effective
May /.
The other ordinance, which was
amended, relates to licenses and pro-
vides for fees and penalties. 1t in
creases the license for peddling any
goods or merchandise, house to house,
from 81 to $25 per year for any per-
son on foot, or from So to S. per day;
for anyone with wagon or other vehi-
Gle, S. to $40 per day.
These ordinances are designed to
give protection to legitimate mer-
chants who have established bust
nesses in the town.
Other Business
The city clerks report for April
showed cash collected totaling 81, 943,-
SO. In this total was $1,749.58 from
water rents; 1920 in taxes, 1885 to
1888; S5O8.62 from the State Roads
Commission; S63.23 from released
funds in the Garrett National Bank;
water farm rent of $500, and refund
for telephone service of $184,21, eX-
tending over the past several years.
Current bills amounted to over $1,000.
Arthur Lawton, clerk-collector, said
there was now about $1,000 in the
general and sinking funds after April
bills had been paid.
A report of the movie tax showed a
total of S69.44. This is distributed to
the Fire Department, library and the
Children's' Aid Society.
The possibility of opening one or
more streets in East Oakland was dis
cussed. Members of Council are TO
confer with C. N. McIntire, owner Of
some of the real estate in that section,
Council decided to fence the spring
and pump station grounds west OF
Oakland for protective purposes.
The clerks bond in the sum of SIX
thousand dollars was accepted and re-
corded.

camera catches abstract things
which can be felt but not seen.
And the masses respond to these
abstract things better tnan the
intelligentsia. You know why?
Because the intelligentsia. when
they go to see picture, go with
smugness and prejudice. They do

1T is like foreigners in strange

aristoerats Will learn first polite,

II is typical that J. an Hungarian.

find the illnesses and nuances that
English directors would miss in
the fine English of Shaw. And
