Six Public Questions Will Confront
Voters at November General Election
The following description of the
public questions which will appear on
the ballot in November h
New Jersey's 2,500 000 voters have
a homework chore of their own to
handle as their children prepare to return to school in September.
For this is the year that the NewJersey Legislature placed on the November election ballots no less than
six referenda questions to be decided
along with the election of 71 legislators (11 Senators and all 60 Assembly
members) as well as numerous county
and local officers.
Voters will face two bond issue proposals totaling $750,000,000 and four
constitutional questions. Such a complex general election ballot calls for
advance study and discussion by citizens before they step into voting
booths on November sth.
For example, the $750,000,000 bond
issue proposal actually will appear on
the ballot as two questions—one for
$475,000,000, the other $276,000,000
in borrowing. Further reading of the
ballot question will reveal that maximum legal interest costs for the two
bond issues cannot exceed $585,000,000. Thus the bonds actually will involve costs of approximately $1,250,000,000.
The
four
questions
involving
changes in the State Constitution
would:
(1) permit farm land in agricultural or horticultural use to be assessed
at its value for this purpose with
provision for collection of additional
taxes
if the land subsequently is
otherwise used.
(2) provide for outright deduction
of not more than SSO from local tax
bills of veterans or their widows rather than the present SSOO exemption
from the assessed valuation of their
property.
(3) provide for a similar SBO deduction from tax bills rather than the
present SBOO exemption on assessed
valuation of real property- of citizens
over age of 65.
(4) lower voter residency requirements in county, and state and ease
the requirements for absentee voting
by residents who have moved from
New Jersey.
New Jersey voters should be prepared for homework sessions in the
months ahead along with study of the
news columns and broadcasts as well
as consultations with civic-minded
friends and organizations. The bond
proposals alone,
with their recordbreaking; billion dollar-plus price tag,
provide a pockctbook question that
dwarfs any of television's popular
jackpot shows. And since repayment
of the bonds could extend through the
year 2004. the ballot questions could
well interest the youngsters since they
will be carrying the major part of the
resulting tax load through the balance
of this century and into the next.
Milestone Is Marked

fields, and handles opinion research of
all types. These include studies for
manufacturers, newspapers and magazines, radio and TV. public relations

Courier-Journal and Times newspapers and Grit, the national familyweekly newspaper. The firm continues
to serve these publications.
The organization started in small
quarters in the Bickford Building on
Nassau Street which was later torn
down to make way for the present
Woolworth Store. Since 1946, it has
occupied continually expanding- quarters in the Benson Building: on Witherspoon Street, which it purchased in
1955.
Until 1952, Mr. Benson continued
his assocation with the Gallup Poll,
while at the same time directing his
own organization.
Mr. Benson says
that his previous association with the
"dean of public opinion researchers,
Dr. Gallup, was "not only exciting
