Robert L. Whitehead Dies
ol Pneumonia at Boston
Word was received hero this morn
ing that Robert L. Whitehead, former
superintendent of the copper refinery
at the American Smelting & Kenning
Company’s plant here, had died in a
Boston hospital of pneumonia during

days. Mr. Whitehead went on to Bos
ton, where ho developed pneumonia
and was taken to the hospital where
he died.
Mrs. Whitehead had stayed In New
York and upon word of her hus
band's dentil, proceeded today to Bos
ton together with her older son Thu
youfiger son Is under the care of a
■ doctor and nurse at the Colllngwood
| hotel in New York.
Mr. Whitehead was one of the most
■ prominent refining engineers in the
country. lip had patented several
i processes used In refining and during
November he left the A. K. & R com
pany to take up a contract with the
French government. He was to have
! sailed’ for Fiance on January I. but

I February 1.
The deceased was a vestryman in

In addition to declaring that un

tude giving rise to fear of a long
drawn out deadlock, the railroad ad
ministration completed arrangements
which were expected by nlgthfall to
re-establish on a normal basis the
city's supply of milk and perishable
food. The railroad officials, whose
ferries, lighters and barges ordinarily
bring thousands of tons of provisions
into Manhattan every day, undertook
on an expensivo scale the rerouting
of these shipments.

Government Regains Control.
By Associated I’ress.
LONDON. Jan. 9—The Ebert gov
ernment Is gaining control in Berlin,
and the Spartacides government is
gradually losing ground, though still
showing great determination, accord
ing to the latest news from the Ger
man capitol. Fighting raged through
Tuesday night and up till noon Wed
nesday various parts of the city i
and there was a number of casualties. I
Custade Moske. who Is In charge of
thewtovernniont defenders, has the
control of the railroads and Is bring
ing large forces of troops Into the
city, where a state of war has been
declared.
Great difficulty Is found In establish
ing the sequence of events in Berlin
with any approach to accuracy, owing
to the fact that a great number of
P— despatches received have been with-'
out faith. It is assumed that all
were censored, and, therefore. It would
seem premature to presume that the
struggle was ended.
According to the Neuenze Nach
rlelinen the government has the up
perliand in the center of the city, but
the Spartacus hold t! ■> end and the
suburbs. The newspapers say a divi
sion of guards, 8,000 strong, has ar
rived in the city.
During these days there has been
various reports of the Ebert govern- j
ment resigning, and the possible oc- i
cupatlon of Berlin by Entente-Amer- I
lean troops. Some of the rumors have I
been confirmed.

much noise that the men did not

AliefM Bolsnevists Paroled
While Brown Seeks Evidence
There came near being a Bolshevik!
meeting last night at police court
when three men who were supposed to

were arrested on Sunday night on a

MILLION DOLLAR BUDGET ADOPTED
BY FREEHOLDERS; INCREASE OF
EIGHT POINTS IN. COUNTY TAX RATE
Total Budget of $1,091,942
Shows Increase of $191,543
Ovqr Last Year
Bu Rnecial Correspondent.
NEW BRUNSWICK, Jan. 10—The
Board of Freeholders yesterday adopt
ed the budget for the county for the
fiscal year of 1919. The total of the
budget is $1,091,942.71 an Increase
over the 1918 budget of $191,643.27.
The Increase In the county tax rate
will be auout eight points. It Is
roughly estimated that the rate for
1919 will be seventy-one or seventy
two cents per hundred dollars while
for 1918 it was sixty-three cents peri
hundred.
Summed up briefly, the main causes i
for the large Increase are: An addi
tion to the tuberculosis needs account
of $20,000; Increased interest on bond
ed debt of $21,000; bridge repairs, an
increase of $33,000; contract obliga
tions on roads, increased $17,000;
road appropriation increased $50,000;
increases in court, sheriff, surrogate,
warden and county clerk items; defi
ciencies in the 1917 and 1918 election
accounts of $10,000; and emergency
borrowings in 1918 required that $37,
607 be appropriated in this year's bud
County Solicitor F. F. Richardson
explained the reasons for the increase
In the following statement:
“The so-called Pierson Act, P. L.
1918, Chapter 242, amending the orig
inal act, P. I>. 1917, Chapter 192.
makes It mandatory for each county
and municipality to create a budget.
This burget Is to represent the fiscal
policy of the county for the ensuing
year and must, after due advertise
ment and public hearing afforded, be
adopted not later than February 9th,
as regards counties. When adopted
It serves as a sort of contract between
the county officers and the taxpayers.
To Interest the taxpayers into their
municipal affairs a public hearing
must precede the adoption at which
the taxpayers may acquaint them
selves with the proposed expenditures
and generally familiarize themselves
with the proposed scheme of financing
the ensuing year. Only small chang
ed (less than 6 per cent of the total
appropriated) can be made subse
quent to the adoption. This may be
done by tax resolution before March
1st. After March 1st the county's
program is definitely settled and the
appropriations are not to be exceed
ed unless for the payment of Interest 1
or principal on debt or unless to fund 1
emergencies. Over this entire sys*i
tern runs the supervising hand of the |
commissioner of municipal accounts!
at Trenton also the creation of the j
Pierson act. The benefits of this
system are in brief:
“Giving taxpayers a voice In the
budget and obtaining their active in
terest In municipal affairs.
“Imposing a sound financial system
on counties and establishing a uni
IUIII1 Bjnirm in **.
"Providing 'for tho amortization of
present indebtedness by proper sink
ing fund requirements.
"Control over entire financial tys
tem by state department. Under the
new tax aet M918) the county will re
ceive one half of Its taxes in .Tune in-j
stead of waiting until the end of the
year. The county up to June 15th has
a borrowing capacity of 50 per cent,
of the amount to be raised bv taxes,
less certain Items and a borrowing
power of funds collected after June
15th up to 100 pet- cent, until the be-1
ginning of the new floral year by
which law' nowr runs in nil counties
from January 1st to January first fol
lowing. Financial needs are financed
through tax anticipation, notes and
tax revenue notes or bonds. Certain
other general provisions such as find
ing emergency notes when t’ev In
crease the tax rate over one-third of
a m’ll on the dollar and etc., also arc
nrevMcd for.
"Such generally, hastily and rough
ly fam*!i°r**os us with some of the
more ImeoHant T*’^»son law require
ments which mav help our considera
tion of cur budget.

Oppose Proposed Pension Law
As It Is Framed by Pierson
Opposition to the proposed uniform
pension law in the state was mani
fested at a meeting yesterday in New
ark. at which city officials from all
parts of the state joined with the po
lice and firemen of tho state in op
posing the pension law as it Is now
framed Arthur N. Pierson Is the au
thor of It.
The law calls for a uniform pen
sion for policemen, firemen, school
teachers and other municipal em
ployes. To this the firemen and police
object saying that their occupations
are so hazardous that they consider
they should have more pension al
lowed them than employes whose oc
cupations are fraught with less dan
ger.
I'roin this city those at the meeting
were Police Chief P. J. Iturke, City
Attorney I.eo Goldberger, Aldermen
Wilson, Clark. Itiedy and Andersen
and a number of firemen.
