ShOestring

One. of the greatest draw
backs to building a Newark
city budget adequate to fl
nance all public services re-
quired of modern local gov
ernments has been the re-
duction of appraisal valua-
tions of real estate. Dur
ing the depression years it
became necessary to Whack
i off--then the legislature
came along and enacted a
state law reducing general
tax rate limit from Is to 10
mills.
The firemen want more
money; members of the po-
lice department, Waterworks
department and other city
employees want more money
to keep members incomes
up with the advance in liv-
ing costs; the police and
fire department need equip
ment and men; more funds
are needed in the health de-
partment to pay a full time
health nurse, meat inspect
or, and milk inspector. In
other words Newark city
government has been run
ming on a financial shoe
string for several years,
and that same shoestring is
about at the breaking point.
There. is one thing that
should be said and realized
members of city councils
during the last few years,
and finance committees,
have been doing a good job,
with little to do it on.
The remedy? AS we see
it there is only one-a reval-
uation of real estate.

The recent annual report

years, of aiding unfortun-

dual, color or creed.
Applying for assistance
during the year were 1882
men, or a monthly average
of 161 to whom 5,O95 meals
were served. The forego-
ing does not take into con-
sideration the lodgings CIV
en- to unfortunates, families
helped (212), garments,
shoes, coal, emergency groc-
cry orders and many other
items.
1t is not only the mate
rial benefits that should be
considered, but the great
power for good that the
Salvation Army stands for
in the community. The fa-
miliar street services, Sun
day school classes, and
young peoples meetings,
have all contributed to the
welfare of Newark as a
whole.
To Adjutant Ben Jones
and his loyal workers should
go a great deal of credit
from the citizenry. The
Salvation Army can always
be depended upon when all
other avenues of relief fail.
More power to them.
