Long Branch Elects Harry Bennett Assessor for Three Years
The Long Branch Board of Commissioners selected Harry Bennett, editor of the Long Branch Press, as city assessor for a three year term. Bennett has eight years prior service as an assessor and will oversee the return of the city’s duplicates and coordinate with the tax department. He pledged an equitable levy, noting tax burdens should be shared fairly. Commissioner Viock objected, arguing the assessor should also collect taxes, a view countered by Fiock who said the assessor’s duties end with delivering duplicates. The meeting also approved a routine street payroll of $99.61.
