Buckley; Clerk of the Board, John McHugh The total net assessed valuation of taxable property in Hudson County in 1941 was $1,259,119,243.24. In its settlement, New Jersey was not an English colony. The claims of the Crown, based upon early discovery and various grants, were ignored by Holland and Sweden. It was not until 1664, practically a half-century after the first occupancy of New Jersey by a white man, that England had much influence upon the destinies of the State. In settlement, Holland was first to send out planters, under the auspices of the Dutch West India Company. Claiming both the valleys of the Hudson and the Delaware, because of the explorations of Hudson and Mey, land was taken up upon the banks of the Hudson, Passaic, Hackensack, Raritan, and smaller streams tributary to New York harbor, as well as at Gloucester upon the Delaware. By 1630 these claims were established by occupancy, and by the creation of a centre of local government in what is now New York City. Sightseeing and chartered bus operations not included. CITY OR LOCAL COMPANIES ONLY (IN CITIES AND TO SUBURBAN POINTS) The Interstate Commerce Commission requires reports from Class I interstate motor passenger carriers only those with annual operating revenues of $100,000 or more to file reports. The following information is taken from their published reports. No. Carriers Reporting In computing the index figure for 1937, 1938, 1939, and 1940, the 1936 monthly average tonnage is taken to represent 100. Beginning Jan. 1, 1941, however, the monthly averages for the 3-year period 1938, 1939 and 1940 is taken to represent 100. Intercity trucks, private and for-hire, hauled 46,000,000,000 ton-miles of freight in 1939, 8.47 per cent of the total volume hauled by all types of carriers, according to the ICC. In 1938, the figures were 37,000,000,000 ton-miles and 8.03 per cent. Of those eliminated without conviction, 10,006 were dismissed; 1,391 were acquitted by the court (jury waived); 3,939 were acquitted by the jury. Of those convicted, 19,467 were sentenced to state prisons and reformatories (includes 47 death sentences); 18,328 were put on probation, sentences suspended; 13,151 were sent to local jails and workhouses; 3,983 were otherwise sentenced.

The world totals for 1936 were (exports) $21,131,893.000; imports $22,073,270,000-1937 (exports) $25,984,389,000; (imports) $27,508,201,000. The 1938 export figures are partly estimated by the League statisticians. The war in Europe has dislocated trade and commerce to such an extent that statistics for 1939 are scarce, and revised figures for 1938 are not available. Countries named in the 1939 table are only ones in which the League of Nations has data, owing to present war conditions. The conflict in Europe has dislocated trade to a greater extent than at any period since the World War. |
