CITY /Mi &2.i,U00
WORTH OF ITS OWN
4 Per cent, bonds.
m
Water Bonds Amounting to $80,000 had been Offered lor Sale and
Bids were to have Been Opened Last Night but no Outside Bid
/
ders Appeared and City Took Some of Them—Wall Street
Flurry Given as Reason for Purchasers not being Present.
The city bought some of its own
bonds last night. It was the time
fixed for opening bids for the $80,000
water bonds issued to pay for the new
water main now being built from the
standpipe at Runyon to the south
shore of the Raritan river. The bond
bear interest at 4 per cent. No out
side bidders appeared last night to
take up these bonds so the city itself
bought $26,000 worth whioh will
furnish the necessary cash to continue
the work until the flurry in Wall
street is over.
The aldermen met last night for the
purpose of awarding the bids for the
bonds. Notices had been sent to the
various financial houses and brokers,
but no one put in an appearance.
After waiting until nearly 9 o’clook
and no bids for the bonds were offer
ed, a resolution was introduced that
the city buy some of the bonds itself.
The resolution is as follows:
“Whereas, there being no bids re
ceived for the purchase of $80,000
worth of water bonds,
Therefore, be it resolved that the
oity treasurer be authorized to pur
chase for the general sinking fund,
$16,000 worth of said bonds and $10,000
worth for the Water Work^ sinking
fund, and that the same be purchased
at par. ”
I he resolution was signed by U. u.
Runyon. In sp°aking of there being
no outside purchaser for the bonds,
City Treasurer Brodhead said, after
the meeting, that the failure to sell
the four per cent bonds at this time
was no reflection upon the credit of
' the city. He declared that no city,
during the last few days, has been
abl« to dispose of her bonds because
of|the unsettled conditions in Wall
street. There stocks have been all
upset and financial men arc calling in
their money rather than putting it
out and municipal bonds, no matter

of what city, cannot be disposed of at
this time.
The fact that Perth Amboy is able
' to buy some of her own bonds, when
i no one else will take them, is pointed
to as an evidence of the excellent
financial condition of the city. The
$55,000 worth remaining unsold will
be put on the market at a later date
when financial affairs have become
more settled.
PROPERTY
TAXED AT
TRUE VALUE.
Law is Plain on the Subject and
Assessors Declare they
Lived up to it.
NOT YET AOCEPTED.
The story published in the News
yesterday, giving some of the new
valuations as filed by the assessors,
has attractod a great deal of attention
and not a little talk. So many peoples
called at the city clerk’s oflfloe yester
day afternoon to see the valuations
on their property that it was neoes
sary to refuse the public the use of
the duplicates.
It is pointed out to those who make
the greatest complaint that the assess
ment is not final. It is still in the
power of the Board of Aldermen to
accept or reject it, and as the dupli
cates have not been officially examined
by the board nothing definite can be
given as to what will have to be paid
in taxes. From what could be learn
ed in talking with some of the aider
men, the probability of the duplicates
being rejected is growing stronger,
but they refuse to disouss the matter
until they have made a thorough ex
amination of the duplicates.
A representative of the News, this
morning, made inquiries as to how
the assessment was made. One of the
assessors was asked if they had assess
ed all property at its full value. The
assessor said the law was very plain
on the subject. It declares that all
property shall be assessed at its true
value and, continued the assessor “we
have endeavored 'to carry out the law
in every particular.’’ From this the
assessor allowed it to be assumed that
they have taxed every property owner
to the full value of the property.

UNION LABOR
TO NOMINATE
FULL TICKET.
Labor Board to Meet Tonight to
Discuss Details ot the
Plan.
NEW PRIMARY LAW.
Labor Leader in This City says that a Labor
ing Man’s Candidate will be Nominated
for Every Office in the City Goverment
and they are Sure of Winning-Will be
Independent.
The labor unions of this city have
decided to put a party labor ticket in
the field this fall. The name of the
ticket has not yet been decided upon.
The Central Labor Board will hold a
meeting in the Adelaide Building to
night and arrange more details.
It will be run as an independent
ticket. When a man prominent in
labor circles in Perth Amboy was seen
by a News reporter and asked about
the ticket, he said:
“For a long time the laboring men
of this city have bad an idea that they
would like to run a ticket, but under
the old primary law this was impossi
ble. Now, under the new primary
law, we will be able to launch our
candidates.
“We have a lawyer at work at tne
present time investigating this law
and when the ticket is ready to be put
up we will know all about it. This,
continued the speaker, “is a very
strong union town and there is no
question but what it will be a grand
snocess. The new ticket will be com
plete as far as city officers go and will
nominate men for the county and
assembly. ”
When other union men were seen
and asked what they thought of it,
they said it was no question but what
it would be a great success.

boat reached Amboy at 12.20 after
spending a very delightful evening.

Nortwick, of Rutherford, N. J., Miss
Carey and Mr. Barcalow, of New
