P.&R.R. STARTS ' DOUBLE TRACK PROVISIONS NOW BEING MADE E TO FACILITATE TRAFFIC TO , AND FROM CAPE MAY AND , a WILDWOOD DURING THE RUSH j j OF COMING SUMMER SEASON j — -t! Work on the construction of a f stretch of third tra^k along the Philr 1 adelphia & Reading Railway's dauble - track seashore lines was started to- ^ day This construction was necessitated by the rapidly growing traffic to the shore and the 'great increase ' the looal traffic to suburban New | Jersey towns. The work on the con- ' sbruction of this third track will be rushed 90 that it will be ready for 1 high-speed traffic by May 15th- 1 The construction of this track is ^ part of an extensive program of in- i ^ creased facilities which the Reading . is carrying out in connection with its j ' seashore traffic- Last summer five ; ' high-speed Pacific type passenger engines were placed in service on the Reading's seashore lines. The ^ previous summer two new ferries were added between Che^nut and j South streets, Philadelphia, and Oamden. A number of the new steel oars which hare just been ordered expected to be used in the ser- j vice during the coming summer. This stretch of trade will extend Haddon Heights to Magnolia, a disttance of approximately two and 1 three-quarter miles. It fills a Jong ; felt need for additional trades to handle the growing seashore traffic and 1 traffic to New Jersey suburban points by permitting trains to pass j each other in the same direction- It will enable the Reading to afford bet- 1 ter service between Philadelphia. Gape May and Wfldwood- High speed express trains will be able to j pass the slower moving local trains without any delay, while local trains will be able to continue on their journey without the necessity of lying in a siding to permit the express to go by. The construction of this track, also, will provide facilities for the operation of additional trains. The track will be constructed by the Bader Construction Co., of Atlantic City. It will hare 100-pound rails, creosoted ties and stone ballast At both ends of the track there will be modern interlocking plants.. This track will be so constructed as I to permit possible later extension to Camden on the north and to Wil-I liamstown Junction on the south. f In the evening when the rush toj I ■ the shore is at its height this track , will be used for southbound traffic, j I In the morning when the commuter i traffic from seashore points to Phil- ] adelphia is very heavy it will be us- 1 ed for northbound traffic.

- -t ,T . Manufacturers' uuf Merchants' TaxaBulletia No. 25, February, 1922 ation League J. E. Stegner, Secretary Newark, N. J. A public hearing on Assembly i 122 (graded tax) will be held by the Assembly Committee on Taxation . j at the State House, Trenton, Monday, j February 27th, at 4.30 P- M. J This bill would enact what is oommtrrdt' designated as the Pittsburgh plan of taxation; a similar plan having been adopted in that dty nine ' years ago where it is said to be operating with great satisfaction. Taxes on personal property and improvements would be gradually reduced and the tax rate correspondingly increased on all land value- It would not, however, go into effect in any municipality or taxing district until adopted by popular vote in 6uch municipality or districtThe importance attaching to this i measure is shown by the answers re-. ' ceived to an inquiry made by the j Manufacturers' and Merchants' TaxJation League among real estate j agents, grange officials and tax assessors throughout the State. J Of the real estate agents 92% favored repeal of taxes on personal | property, 91% favored the graded tax and 91% opposed a State income tax. Of the grange officials 43% favored repeal of taxes on personal property, 55% favored the graded tax and 59% opposed a State income tax. Of the State assessors, 61% favor- ca ed repeal of the tax on personal | property, 74% favored the graded tax and 60% opposed a State income | I ~ I [ One effect of the operation of the ™ . graded tax in Pittsburgh is said to | ! have been the automatic equalization ■ ' of assessments, a problem which is ■ now greatly disturbing officials an<f | j legislators in New Jersey- | ■ I WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY j| PARTY | r A very interesting party wwe^gireh _ • at the home of Mr and Mrs. George I s Rae, on Monday evening, dancing be- | = ing one of the main features of the _ r evening.
