HAPPENINGS OF A DAY THROUGHOUT MIDDLESEX COUNTY
E. —
TAXPAYERS HAVE
CONFIDENCE IN
FREEHOLDER BD.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.
New Brunswick, August 29.—The
recent publication of the budgets of
counties of the saiue class as Mid
dlesex, showing that this county's
expenditures are proportionately
much lower, has made a great im
pression upon the public, and the
confidence the taxpayers have in the
present Board of Freeholders has
been strengthened.
Only one attempt has been made
to explain away the great balance
in favor of Middlesex. In the case
of Bergen county it has been assert
ed that the valuations there are
much higher, and that therefore Ber
gen is a "much wealthier county."
This assumption is simply ridiculous
when the facts are considered. Ber
gen has about the same area as Mid
dlesex. it is composed almost en
tirely of small residential communi
ties. Most of Its inhabitants are
New York commuters and their fam
ilies. people of moderate means who
own their homes and who pay the
bulk of the county tax.
There are no large industries.
Middlesex with its great manufac
turas and busiuess industries, its
railroad centers and its tremendous
natural wealth of clay products Is so
far ahead of Bergen that a compari
son between the two is absurd. Mid
dlesex is one of the wealthiest coun
ties of the state. Bergen does not
class with it.
The reason that the valuations are
highèr in Bergen is simply a matter
of necessity. Up to last year the
state law forbade raising the tax rate
above a certain figure The only
way to meet the heavy county and
local taxée there was to raise the val
uations. Middlesex with lier smaller
expenditures was under no such ne
cessity.
Thus it is apparent that the only
Teply the critics can make falls com
pletely to the ground. The naked
fact remains that with less than one
fifth the amount of roads, fewer
bridges and less extraordinary ex
pense, Bergen's budget this year is
$673.765.03 to $421 400 In Middle
sex. The difference of a quartor of
a million is accounted for by a Ber
gen salary list twice as large as that
of Middlesex, interest, sinking fund
and upkeep charges on a $1,560,000
court house, and a bonded debt, ex
clusive of the court house expense,
twice the bize of that of Middlesex.
Trying to explain conditions by
saying that Middlesex is a poverty
stricken community has not met
with much favor

Many Laws Abused.
No matter how many laws are en
acted to help the unfortunate there
are some who will abuse the intent of
the law when receiving assistance. We
have reference to the widow's pension
act to assist them to educate their chil

some who are receiving aid under this
law neglect to send their children to
school but permit them to run uncon

very undesirable for others.

AVERTS SERIOUS
FIDE IN GARAGE
IN SOUTH AMBOY
Spécial to the A V UN IΝ Ο NKW8.
South Araboy, August 31.—The
rare presence of mind of J. A. Sex
ton no doubt prevented a serious
conflagration in his garage Thursday
evening. A party with an automo
bile ran Into his garage Thursday
night to look up some mishap or to
fill up the reservoir with gasoline,
and as many are unconcerned as
long as their machine will move as
to its condition, such was the case
with this machine· having been ueg
lected. The tank or some other part
was in such condition that all the
while In the garage It was leaking
gasoline.
Nearby a man was striking a
match. The fumes ignited and a por
tion of the inside of the garage was
in a mass of flames, but Mr. Sexlon
was equal to the emergency and seiz
ing an extinguisher which he has on
hand for emergencies of this na
ture, he succeeded in extinguishing
the flames before any damage was
done to the building or machines In
side.
It does seem strange that owners
of cars will persist, many of them,
in running their machines without
giving them a thorough Inspection
before using.

COUDES NOW
IN DETROIT FOR
G. A. R SESSION
Sprclal to the Ε VENINO NEW8.
South Atnboy, Aug. 31:—Comrade
Samuel Oarretson. of Major Dandy
Cost, Perth Amboy. and Comrade
Aaron Stillwell, of General William
8. Truex Post, this city, left their re
spective places of residence yester
day for the national encampment to
be held in Detroit. Michigan, Tues
day to Saturday. This brings to
mind the sacrifices and privations o£_
lirty years ago to them that are
living.
There are only a few left in True*
Poet, numbering twelve comrades,
however. the sacrifices made
fifty years ago are apparently forgot
ten by a large portion of the present
generation. We remember after the
close of the war that some diminu
tive township or city or county of
fice would almost be forced upon a
war veteran as a mark of gratitude
for the service rendered in the dark
est hour in the history of the nation,
yet the blessings enjoyed today by
the nation are much greater and the
sacrillces made by the comrades the
same as at the close of the war.
The reason we bring this matter
before the public is we think a mem
ber of Truex Post equals In service
any who went to the front in '61-'6G.
We refer to Comrade Joseph Fentou,
of this city, lie enlisted August 13,
181>2. in Company 8, 118th Pennsyl
vania Volunteers, known at that time
as the Corn Exchange Regiment, anil
was discharged June 1, 1805, having
participated in thirty-four battles,
being promoted from tUe rank of pri
vate lo that of orderly sergeant.
The following are the names of the
battles in which he took part: An
tietam, Sbepardstown. Fredericks
burg, Chancellorsvllle, Gettysburg,
Bristol Station. Tolopotlng Creek,
Rappahannock Station. Magnolia
Swamp, Mine Run, Bethesda, Church
Wilderness. Cold Harbor, Spottayl

cho Mills, Peebles Farm, forming
Fort McRea, Peach Orchard,
Anna. Harris Farm, raid on WeldffH™
railroad, Dabuey's Farm, Lewia
Farm. Boydtown, Plank Road, Five
Forks and Appomattlx.
Comrade Fentou today Is appar
ently as well as any one who ha*
reached seventy-five years of age
and is one of our leading citizens. If
any Post in the state or New Jersey
or In the United States has a mem
ber that can show a greater record in
the number of battles participated
in. Comrade Mason, of Truex Pe'" .
