FREE ACRES ASSOCIATION GENERAL FINANCIAL FILES,, 1910-1980

Summary: Documents produced by the Free Acres Town Clerk, Treasurer, leaseholders, and vendors having to do with Free Acres monies.

Includes Free Acres Association bonds, lists of accounts receivable, lists of associate members, general ledgers, invoices, and notes of payment due or bills paid.

Ledgers document road repair, bond issues, the annual budget, capital and interest revenues, rental fees for associate members, and swimming pool fees.

Includes the 1980 hearing document, Free Acres Association v. Berkeley Heights Tax Assessor. Unlike in times past, in 1980 the Berkeley Heights Tax Assessor did not lower the assessed valuations when Free Acreites complained about the difference between the way property improvements made by Berkeley Heights homeowners, and those made by Free Acres leaseholders were taxed, since Berkeley Heights residents could get mortgages or tax breaks for these improvements.
