TOMS RIVER, April I Supreme Court Justice Minturn holds, turns the fancy not so much to thoughts of love as to "oriental visions of the nocturnal scenes in the metropolitan center in which one member of this court is consigned to subsist." told the new Ocean county grand jury so yesterday in leading up to a peroration, that consigned to outer "bootlegger from the cliff dwellings and grottoes of the cities." The prospective coming of the urbanite to the sandy reaches of Ocean county with the advent of the warmer seasons gave Justice Minturn the text for his charge. For, as he put it: "The song of thee jaybird will scarcely have died in the fields, and the call of the cuckoo will hardly have expired in the thicket, ere the more vociferous jaybirds and vivacious cuckoo from the urban concert halls, seeking rest and rehabilitation from the tonic atmosphere of our shores will march upon us with all the abandon and assurance of conquering heroes.

Gravatt Flappers Not So Bad Prohibition and the flappers of today are acceptable in a certain degree but some times they go beyond bounds, in the opinion of Henry E. Gravatt, 144 Embury avenue, Ocean Grove, who celebrated his 81st brithday last Jan. 5.

He was employed by the Ocean Grove association 19 years and the Lewis Lumber company for a quarter century. He is a bit dubious about prohibition, having this to say: "Sometimes I think it has done more harm than it has good. I do not use liquor myself but I can not see where people have benefited by prohibition. There is as much drunkenness now a8 there ever was and often I believe it is a good deal worse." And Mr. Gravatt is not particularly averse to flappers, tho he intimated that they' are a little "flighty." "Flappers, just like prohibition, are all right in their place, but you know, some times, I think they go a little too far.

I certainly disapprove of a woman smoking or drinking. "But speaking about prohibition and the women's vote and that sort they were and we never used thinger In my youth, of course, to think of such things. As things are being done today they would have appeared dreadful in those days. I remember my old grandma smoking a pipe but the way some women smoke nowadays makes them too much like men." After a bit more conversation in which Mr. Gravatt said he was born in Clarkeburg, N.

Jan. 5, 1845, the Sarah N. Bird of Walls Mills, now known as Ellisdale, and Dobias Gravatt and was one of four children, the 81-year-older advanced this view: "You know the women want to be as much like men as they can. And I suppose the voting, smoking and other habits all come with it." Mr. Gravatt attended school in his birthplace and worked on a farm until he was about 40 years old.

He then came to Ocean Grove with hie wife and children and has lived in the campmeeting resort most of the time since. He almost received his wife in marriage as a birthday gift for they were wedded on Jan. 4, 1870, and have celebrated their 56th anniversary, Mrs. Gravatt was Miss Alice A. Parker of Clarksburg.

They had He's Dubious On Prohibition eight children, the oldest of whom is Gravatt, sheriff. There are nine-grandchildren Walter, and one great-grandchild. Mr. Gravatt was a member of Company 38th N. J.

infantry in the Civil war. His company was discharged at City Point, after 11 months' service. He had sons in the World war, Chester Gravatt being a prisoner in Germany for seven months. The old Ocean Grove resident always worked in the open air, being a farmer at Clarksburg and a teamster at the shore. He had three employers during his whole working career: burg "I 13 worked for the one Ocean man in Grove Clarksyears, association years the Lewis Lumber company years.

After that I retired. When I got a job that I liked I was satisfied to remain with the same people. prefer the open air and manual work. I labored hard in my time but don't think it ever hurt me. If I had my life to live over again I'd try not to waste quite a8 much money as I have.

All in all life is all right so long as you live as you ought to."

OTHER COUNTY NEWS On Page Nineteen. ASSESSMENT ON OCEAN CO. LAND JUMPED BY STATE County Tax Board's Reduction In Unimproved Property Overruled By State Board In Review.

(Special to The Press) TRENTON, April 14-Exercising powers delegated to it under a 1906 law, the state board of taxes and assessment today directed that an assessment of $6,786 for 1925 against the Bamberlake corporation for 262.52 acres of unimproved land in Manchester township, Ocean county be increased to $22,500. The township assessor assessed the land at $90,500. There was no formal appeal filed with the Ocean county board of taxation on or before June 15, 1925, as provided in the general tax act of 1918. There was, however, filed with the county board, on June 15, 1925, an affidavit in the nature of an appeal on behalf of the corporation setting forth that the assessment was erroneous. "Subsequently," said the state board, "the Ocean county board of taxation proceeded to hear and determine the matter, with result that a judgment was entered by that body reducing the above mentioned assessment ($90,500) to $6,786.

"An appeal has been lodged with this board for the purpose of reviewing the action of the county board. There was no testimony taken before this board by either party relative to the value of the property in question, which consists of 2,262.52 acres of unimproved land. One party relies on the value as fixed by the assessor, while the other depends on the value as determined by the county board. The testimony taken before the county board was offered in evidence, but is unsatisfactory in so far as it deals with the value of the property. We have examined into this matter carefully, inspected the land, made reference to sales of similar property and have endeavored to reach a just conclusion regarding the true value of the land on Oct.

1, 1924. We believe the land was then worth $22,500 and so find." The state board overruled the claim of the corporation that the township assessor had no right to appeal the county tax board assessment to the state board.

Approaching the end of his charge, court added: this "Stealthily proceeds the rapid automobile, containing the bootlegger from the cliff dwellings and grottoes of the cities over our splendid roads into the land of promise, from which the precious cargo is speedily removed to our vaunted center of civilization for sale; and thus we have practical profitable operation, that delectable classical combination, Rue in urbe. "It is with this complex conspiracy against the constitution and the law that we have to deal.
