by
the joint taxation committee of the New Jersey legislature for
the relief of taxation on real estate "provided, however,
that all such additional funds so assessed and raised will be
utilized on for the direct relief of real estate."
Other
members of the committee are William S. Abbott, president of
the Real Estate Board;
Earl R. Lippincott, George B. Robeson, J. William Markeim, Carl
R. Evered, William
F. Schmid and Edward J. Borden.
Herbert
K. Strattan, a Democratic leader of Haddonfield, also expressed
opposition to the park loan appllication.
He
stressed three reasons as his grounds for opposing the loan, the
first being the absence of a definite plan for spending the
money.
Strattan
also charges that the members of the park commission are
incapable of handling such a large project and that no one park
has been finished and no portion of the parks are
self-liquidating, thus necessitating large annual maintenance
funds.
He
also stated the loan would increase Camden's bonded
indebtedness, which could not be afforded at this time. |
