Are Farm Improvement* Taxed?

The Cape Ma> Countr Chamber <.: Commerce i> urjinj rrtidentf ot I lie rural .*ection of the counts to fix up their place* in order to make the coumryade more attractive to the thoinand* 01 Mitraner visitor* who travel over the highway*. Some of the farmer* have been heard to remark: "Time one paint* hit home or his ham or dor» anything to improve the look* of hi* property, along come* the ats^Mor and up goe* hi* tavr» " Just to what extent that condition ■> true we do not know. But it the lave* on farm property are raised to an appreciable degree when a fanner paint* hi* building* it no doubt accounts for nicely painted farm homes and bam* in Cape May County bring very "conspiruous by their absence. If this is a false impreMOii it is equally unfortunate, because believing that thrv will h- taxed tor improvements—even though they would n.rt h-—would tend to hold hack improvement* equally as much as if thi* were - fact. Farmers, like most other individuals. are u..lined to fee! that their raxes are high enough, and * they do not like hiving them further nx:rased brcauw they make some improvement. Cape May County nerds an unprovemrnr in the appearances of her farm propcrOM^ if we are n< attract visitors here as permanent rwidriit. in the rural section*. I iipauited tarm buildings and a general lack <u improrcttcnts do not highly recnmmrnd an agricultural sect km i prospective purchaser*. If the a»*rs*ed valuation o: farm property is raised to any great extent when improvements are made. «uch a polk , is undoubtedly “penny wise and pound foolish. It would discourage a development which i* greatly needed by the county. A policy of increasing the taxes of the fellow who dor* not improve his property would appear to hr a wiser one. A dhtmctrosi would have to he made between the home owner and the speculator. We believe the taxing of improvement* to be a shot;-sighted Policy—one which is ahtolureiy opposed to the best interests and deyrlopmrnr of Cape May County. Such improvements as the painting of the tarm home and farm buildings add nothing to a fanner * income, ivhr^b, hr i* enabled to pay higher taxrv but they do add a lot to the appearances of Cape May County. Frankly, we do not believe that farmers arc taxed for im-prov.-*t*rm*. We believe it is only a rumor which has been carried iron: one part of the county to the other. Possibly it was conceived by someone who wanted a good exam for not painting and fixing up hi* property .
