The temptation to continue the journey to tne very end o^the boulevard will be too great to be resisted by the averi age automobllist especially since there . will be plenty of attractive features to cause any tourist to place on bis itinerary of the coast this resort and its I entourage as a point necessary to be • seen. It happens that the energetic J work which has been proceeding for a 1 number of years in this county to ob- ' tain a complete system of state roads 1 has so far progressed that first class 1 roads extend the whole length of the E county excepting for a short distance 1 between Court House and Tuckaboe 5 and this will be corrected at an early - date. f ^ It is op to the County Board of Tax- ' ation of Cumberland County to see to j it that assessed valuations are raised : to a reasonable figure throughout that county. As they stand now Cumberi land County is the most conspicuous 1 1 tax dodger in the State. The total assessed valuation of Cumberland County ' 1 is $21,918,088; of Oape May County, $22,1125,68. The total valuation of 1 Bridgeton is $6,687,929; of Cape May 1 City, $5,641,967. The total valuation ' of Millville is $4,714,993. That of Ocean City, $5,068,126. The valuation 1 of Landis Township, in which is con- ' tained Vineland is $1,757,706; that of Isle Oity, is $1,231,894. Just a ' little thought upon the matter will ' convince anybody conversant with such

1 matters, that Cumberland values are ' away below true values, for Oape May 1 County values are not excessive, ft «i Ss i Cannon is reelected speaker and the House rules are adopted with very litI tie modification from those which have ) prevailed for several years. The only difficulty. about them is that they prel vent Democratic members playing poli itics and hindering attention to the 1 business of the country and they pre- 1 s | vent some men elected as Republicans ! ' from focusing attention upon them- i . selves independent of their party, j r which has been a popular game with I numerous demagogs, big and (little, | i during the last four or five years. ^The j ' novelty of this thing has worn off, how- ' ever, and the people have seen enough ! f to realize that the man who will seek ] fame or notoriety by deserting his j • party principles and associates, is not | reliable and is not a true represents I tive. The yellow journals and political magazines have worked faithfully i • -to create a chaotic condition by over1 throwing the idea of party allegiance but they have not succeeded. The people are wiser than their would-be | guides in these matters.
