DIRECTORS HAD PREPARED FEAST OF BEST IN MUSIC Trenton, N. Dee. (AP)Governor A. Harry Moore's School Survey Commission today the State Property Tax for schools be repealed and new taxes be imposed to raise the realty tax now yields. Asserting the State has been slow to take from the property tax the due burden" of all government, resulting in finance a "lack of stability" in the structure, the commission proposed a finance plan designed to guarantee every district in the State a basic educational program.
In its two volume report, completed after a year's the commission. by Thomas' N. McCarter, of Newark, President of the Public Service, also proposed economies and re trenchments in the school system $13,500,000 which it said could saved without sacrificing any recognized educational standards, The total cost of the State in 1932-33 was $101,276,061. The commission made clear its recommendation that the State property tax of 2.75 mills for each $100 valuation be abandoned was contingent upon raising $18,000,000 from other sources. The total State aid for publie schools would be as at present 000,000, the being obtained largely Although from not railroad proposing in the report what new taxes be levied, the commission said its staff had made studies which were omitted because they overlap studies made by the joint legislative committee on taxation.
The latter committee recommended imposition of retail sales, income, intangible property, and business franchise taxes to relieve the burder on real estate. "The studies made by the commis. sion," the report said, "show that New Jersey has been far from the front ranks of the states which have sought to bring about a proper adjustment of costs of government by drawing from various taxes. The analyais (given in a supplement) shows that New Jersey would have to transfer at least $68,000.000 from the property tax to other: taxes before she could bring substantial to her property taxpayer." The commission said the principal causes of the "serious condition" in which the schools find themselves are the failure to collect taxes locally because of the "relatively heavy burden, (upon property," diversion of school taxes for educational to other municipal purposes, and failure of the State to provide for funds to replace the property "which it has not succeeded in collecting Its proposed finance plans, the commission said, should avoid one ditficulty by eliminating the state property tax for schools and by placing dependence "upon some tax for the collection of which the State can take direct "Such a procedure." it said, "would increase the stability of the tax sys: tem by reducing the amount of taxes to be collected from property which is overburdened and substitutiting taxes which are carrying no load." commission proposes that every school district be guaranteed an educational program comparable to that offered in the school year in the 1931-32 State, in the poorest 10 districts which cost $57 for each elementary pupil. and $98 for each High School pupil.
On this foundation program, each district could build its own super-structure, utilizing local. funds. Each district would levy a local tax of 4.75 mills. From its fund, the State would make a flat dis tribution to all districts on the basis of. $13.
for each elementary pupil in daily attendance and $22 for average each High School pupil. This -would require $11,000,000. The remaining $10,000.000 would be used to equalize the difference between the amount raised locally plus the flat grant and the program. The commission showed how the plan would operate in every community in the State, Atlantic City would receive a net gain of $268.903 in State aid, and a potential tax relief of 1.09 mills; Newark, $1,006.095, or 1.13 tax relief; Jersey City, $868.416 or 1.37 tax relief: Elizabeth. $354,531 or 2.13.
and Trenton, $419,339 or 2.05. The $13.350,000 savings proposed; in cluded $7.350,000 in current expenses, and $6,000,000 in capital outlay items.
