WILL ANY TAX BE LEFT ?
Mayor Wanser's Axemen Still
Hack at the Assessments.

At the meeting of the Commissioners of
petitions were filed for reductions. The
most important of these were made by
ex-Judge David w. Lawrence as executor
for the estate Of Margaret Roche. The
property in question is situated at No.
81 Newark avenue. The building used as
a drygoods store was burned down last
January. The valuation of the property
including the building WIS placed by the
Tax ommissioners at $4,000 or $4,000
more than it was the year before. When
the insurance adjusters placed value
upon the building, and 1t was accepted,
the amount was S6,252, which deducted
from the total valuation or $35, 900 would
leave the value of the lot $2S, 746. Ex-
Judge Lawrence requested the Board to
make fair and equitable reduction.
Another valuation complained of
was that placed on properly ut No.
l75 Seventeenth street. The property
was assessed for $500, and a week ago
the owner, James Cordcck, sold the prop
erty to Jeanette Glib for 81 ,000 or $500
less than the taxed valuation.
