Kenilworth Case Argued Before Court of Errors
Special to the Journal Trenton June 29 The borough of Kenilworth argued before the Court of Errors and Appeals to reapportion state school and county taxes after the Supreme Court refused. The borough seeks removal of 322 754 from total valuations citing exempt property and second class railroad property. Fort contends exempt property and railroad assessments must not be included in taxable valuations and school county tax should be based on lower valuations 662 445 rather than 985 199. The argument notes constitutional provisions and urges public policy against continued apportionment based on prior totals. The defense was led by Franklin W. Fort with opposing counsel G S Blackham.
