ASSESSMEHT8 AT FULL VALUES

The County Tax Board has imed order* to the various ryy May County ttet the aaseasaeat of real estate tax for 192S must be jMie at the full value of property, rather than a fractional value as has hues the ease in most of the communities of the county. At int thought this seems like a drastic action, and cue that will send taaes soaring. Bat this is not the case. A higher valuation will certainly ■can a great deal lower tax rate, and in the end the taxpayer will pay M more than he would under the lower valuation. The only difference mill he that the State and County will receive a greater sum of money in tma. as these taxes are based upon valuation and the higher the valuation of ptoputy in a community the more is paid into the county and state

On the other hand, however, one of the first questions asked by a nfartivt investor in shore real estate is, “What is the assessed value of s property r* And if the difference between the assessed value and the hag price is too great there is very apt to be a more or less well founded

A higher ossrsimmt. too. gives the municipality a greater borrowing capacity, and this is sorely needed in many of the shore resort towns, where raped development has caused a demand for public improvements for which there has been no money to pay. Stone Harbor about three yean ago raised all its property to a full hundred per cent, valuation, and the resort has prospered under that plan. When ti>e plan was first inaugurated Stone Harbor was in severe financial straits, while now it is looked upon as one of the most w ially, of any on the Atlantic seaboard in proportion to its tire. The chief difficulty will be for the Assessors to determine what is a true, lull valuation. This is no taak, ■ml of one hundred people there will be one hundred opinions advanced as to the actual cash saleable valuation of any given property. The first year under this plan, if, and when, it is adopted, will necessarily give rise to many errors. But this will straighten itself out as time rolls on, and eventually the hundred per cent valuation will prove a good thing if it is faithfully, honestly and universally carried out \

The sordid testimony in recent drug trials in this County prove that these moral degenerates either have not the power to distinguish right from wrong, or hove aa utter contempt of the law. The evidence snbouttod in the trials and the addicts’ confessions show them capable of attempting any offense to satisfy their desires, or to escape the tdaUhts of the poboe At this porticmlar time, this question is of vital interest to Cape May Connty. The vigoroat drug crusade in Philadelphia has caused the panic stricken dope peddlers, and uaer*. to seek cover and apparently the ’seashore resort* offer them an excellent hiding place. In the past it was almost an impossibility to obtain * conviction against n dope peddler. With their fabulous profits they could obtain protection through the elevens; legal talent, and they seemed to possess unusual cunning in escaping punishment. An ounce of prevention will surely pay in the drug wave. The police should practice eternal vigilance in apprehending these offenders, for once located it will be a difficult problem to oust them. Let it be known that these moral derelicts can expect no clemency from the Bar of Justice if apprehended in Cape May County.

PEOPLE OF OUR TOWN

A BOOH TO SHORE RESIDENTS

The purchase of the Wildwood Electric Light plant by the Atlantic City Electric Light Company, and the consequent extension of its lines along the Shore Road from Ocean City into Wildwood, should prove a boon to residents along this highway, for they will now be able to get contincoui twenty-four hour electric service the year round. To be able to get reliable electric serrioe in the rural districts is a rare thing, and those fortunate enough to own property along the new line should lose no time in availing themselvr. of this icrvice Electric ligfatf in the home and barn, and an electric washing machine in the kitchen, and electrically driven sews and farm machinery and electrically pumped watei will go a long wry toward removing the drudgery of farm life.
