Tremendous Amount of Prop
erty in Middlesex is Ex
empt From Taxation
.NEW Bitl'NSWICK. .Man'll 21.— |
Jjata now being i unipiled bj the
Middlesex County Board of Taxation
discloses a mass of hgurcs that In -
f.cOme very interesting when coin
Itiired with figures bearing on tin
same subject for tin las. year M*liilc j
the most interesting matter to the
taxpayer at this time would proba-|
Idy In- the announcement of tin- ran 1
of taxes per hundred of valuation I
that information can not lie known ■
until the assessors in several muriiei
palfties have made revisions as j
ordered by the county board.
Aside from the tax rate probably
1(re most interesting Hgurcs show
the tremendous amount of property
In tlio county that is exempt from
taxes. The increase in this head
ing over last year shows a tremen
dous jump hut the valuations have
no bearing on the taxes to be raised.
The exempt property for this year
shows the amazing valuation of
Si 22.008,800. as compared to $29,
328,140 in 1921. though the large
Increase indicates the government
appraisal value of the property in
the two government owned plants in
the county.
"The assessed valuations oi exempt
property for this year and in com
parison to last arc as follows:
Public schools. 1922. $5,676 C60.
1921, $4,199,400; other schools.
3922. $3,895,550. 3921 $3,737,350;
public property. 1922, $6,982,240,
lJSl, $5,831,840; churches and
charitable Institutions. 1322, $5,016,
55O, 1921, $4,627,100; cemeteries,
.1922, $333,650, 1921, $324,050; fed
eral owned real property. 1922. $25,
103,650, 1921, $600,000; federal
owned personal property 1922, $75,
000,500, 1921, $10,000,000.
-An increase of over $100,000 is in
dicated in the county tax for the
year 1922 as compared to the
amount for the same purpose a year
iso, the net tax for this year
iifl'ounting to $1,161,662.16. while
.he 1921 taf was $1,054,335.54.
tThe amounts to he raised to. care
lor the soldiers' state bonus, is con
siderably lower than last year, when
32.05 was assessed. The 1922
looms requirements call for $22,
183.61.
About $50,000 more will he nec
saarv this year for state school tax
: 118 for the funding of 1 lie bridge
1118 tunnel bond issues. The state
r bool tax requirements last year
.ve're $329,422.13 und.lt will lie neo
•ssary to $358,710.47 for that pur
jose during 1922.
The bridge and tunnel bond is
sue. $37,102.63. has been assessed
ns compared to $15,652.82 raised
-for that purpose during the preced
ing year.
The comparison of the school tax
for the various municipalities with
the lax raised to defray all other ex
penses of government indicates that
over half of the tax so raised is de
moted to educational purposes.
While the amount raised for cdu
oAlinnnl nti onneiic n n 11111 i.vh 011 l‘l»W
ilttya ago shows a substantial in
cgttise over the last year the tax for
other purposes shows an almost pro
portionate increase.
*An increase of about a quarter of
a million dollars is indicated for do
ing: the business of the various cities,
boroughs and townships over the
amount apportioned for that pur
pose last year.
Four municipalities of the country
show quite a fortunate condition in
that the income from franchise and
similar tax pays all the expenses and
it therefore becomes unnecessary for
lhe taxpayers of that vicinity to con
tribute anything to pay for their lo
cal government.
‘The places where the taxpayers es
cape paying a local tax are Middle
sex borough, North Brunswick town
ship, Plainsboro and South Bruns
wick township. The budget for Mon
roe township has not yet been re
ceived and is holding up the work
of the county board.
The appropriations lor the purpose
. nf conducting the government of
every municipality In the county,
exclusive of school maintenance is as

I The Remarkable New Jordan 1
1 at Astounding NewRice I
*1795
'
{Another $300 to $400 Reduction)
A big demand created by public recognition of real value. A purchasing power
based upon financial stability. Capacity production ahead of the spring selling
season. These have made possible another startling price reduction on the fas
cinating new Jordan. Qudlity improved—of course—for that is the Jordan policy.
QUICK public appreciation of real
value is an amazing thing. Yet
most natural.
Its instant expression is almost magic.
Quality at a price always brings immedi
ate demand.
That has again been proved by the
record-breaking sales of this fascinating
new Jordan. »
Jordan reached capacity production
in January, February and March
months ahead of the spring selling season.
Overheads have gone down — newr
prices '•re possible.
Purchasing power, due to strong fi
nancial position made it possible to buy
at the lowest point of the recent low
market.
Jordan quality at Jordan prices has
established the future standard of motor
car value.
Jordan knows that we are happily go
ing back to the old fashioned, sincere
way of doing business.
v
The American people have reached
the point where they demand that every
piece of merchandise be a better piece
of merchandise, with a fairer price ticket
on it.
And that is the essence of the Jordan
policy.
Consider the astounding price of $1795
on a car of Jordan quality.
Compare every detail of the Jordan
with any car selling within $1000 of its
price. Demand Jordan value. Look for
these features. Note these points of
quality:
—Exclusive new motor
—Silhouette bodies ahead of the times
—Light weight and perfect road balance
—National economy average 24.1 miles
per gallon *
—Tire mileage 18,000 to 20,000 miles
—Owners boast of low repair colt
—High second-hand valuation
—Non-rattling lubricated spring shackles
—Spring leaves all Chrome Vanadium
steel
—All instruments under glass
—Tools in locked compartment in door
•f.
—Snubber equipped
—Cowl ventilator
—Optional colors
—Crane Simplex velvet finish
—Rugged non-weaving frame
—Top, new clear vision type
—New fashion nickel barrel lamps
—Fenders strong and beautiful
—Lock on transmission
—Curtains carried in doors
—Finest hand-buffed leather
—Every exposed part, nut and bolt, rust
proofed
—Special Jordan chassis lubricating
system
—Appearance distinctly individual
—Comfort that is rare
—Power and performance beyond the
ordinary
—Economy most gratifying
—Pride of ownership such as Jordan
owners know.

Every man who has been hoping for
a motor car like this at a price like this—*
can stop hoping and act now!
This announcement will positively create an immediate shortage of Jordan cars
