Woodbridge Attorney Says
Valuations on Some Prop
erties Should be Increased
WOODBRIDGE, Feb. 2—The fact
that there are some properties in
this township which are not prop
erly valued as far as the assessment
is concerned, was brought out tit the*
hearing on the 1922 budget in the
high school on Tuesday night, by
Township Attorney J. H. Thayer
Martin. Mr. Martin in speaking be
fore the township committee held
that if the properties were reas
sessed and the proper valuations
made it would benefit the entire
township. In closing his remarks
he urged that a mpre fair assessment
be made.
One citizen speaking at the meet
ing claimed that an exper re-as
sessment was attempted in the town*
ship a few years ago and wondered
why such a condition should exist
at this time.
Nothing was said by Mr. Martin
that would indicate that the town
ship assessor. Robert Hlrner, would
be requested to Increase flic tax rat
ables on certain properties, but it is
understood that Mr. Hirner is work
ing in that direction.
Another speaker at the meeting
urged that action be taken to amend
the legislation so that people would
bo prevented from coming to Wood
bridge building homes on which
they have to pay no taxes for a
period of five years. He claimed
that this law although it benefited
the home seeker made an ndditional
load for the taxpayer to carry.

BOY HUS LUNG TRIP TO
GET SUIT; LOSES RICE
A fruitiest quest from Salem to
Perth Amboy, and all for a new suit j
of clothes, proved to be the out-;
standing feature of the case ol t
Joseph Rowand. a sixteen-year-old;
boy who \vas arrested on the streets
early this morning on a charge of
vagrancy. Officer (’harles Jorgensen
made the arrest about 1:30 o’clock
and the lad spent the rest of the j
night in jail.
According to his story as related I
to Detective Captain Lawrence A. i
Long, the boy was an employe in a j
theatre in Salem in the southern I
portion of the state. When a trav- j
ding theatrical company ctopped in j
Salem for a one night performance |
last week several of the actors and j
actresses made much of Joseph and \
jokingly told him that if he would
come to Perth Amboy, where they
were next appearing, they would
give him a new suit of clothing.
Attracted by the offer Rowand
took the stage people seriously and
set out to heat his way to Perth
Amboy and the new' suit. The truck
riding method of traveling proved
to be slower than the means em
ployed by the theatrical company
and Joseph arrived too late to meet
the company and get his suit.
At the police station this morning
it was learned that the boy had
relatives in Fords and he was al
[ lowed to go to them.
