The Board of Tax Appeals met last
evening for ~thespurpose of receiving COM
plants and taking action on appeals that
had been considered. Only six dissatis-
fled property holders presented appeals TO
the Board last night.
Frederick M. Porrett asked the Com
missioners to lower the valuation Of IS. 600
on his property at No. 524 Jersey venue,
claiming simply that it was not worth the
valuation placed upon it.
Michael Lawless asked to have the as.
Prospect place, reduced. He said the
property had greatly deprecated in value
in that neighborhood and that he could
not rent his house for $500.
Patrick Coyle complained that his
houses and lots at Nos. 81 and SO Sussex
street were assessed ST. 900 each and that
together they were not worth more than
$40. 600. lie said he knew of no reason
why his assessment was increased.
c.. c.. Van Reipen complained of the
valuation of $4,000 on 10 acres of land
down in Greeuviile. He thought SIS. 600
would be u fair valuation. The ground
is u~nproductlve, there is nothing but
briars and Stones upon it. Mr.. Van Reipen
has passed his eigntv-third birthday, but
when he signed his name to The petition
last night he did not need glasses to see.
He laughed when President Warner COM
mented on his remarkable eyesight. Mr..
Van Reipen has the appearance Of a man
of sixty.
MI. John Pangborn called on the Board.
He said he had paid his taxes but he
wanted To know ii he could not have q
lower valuation on q house aud lot on
Dv4a~a1t -1,na ntha ~ rant II oaot 60 EAn
and ne declared he would be glad to take
$4,000 for it. President Warner assured
Mr.. Pangborn that the Board Of Appeals
could not act in the matter but referred
him to Tax Commissioner German.
Mrs. Q. f.. Cline petjtioned the Board
to reduce the valuation of $4,000 on No.
S33 Pavonia avenue. because it was rated
too high. Mrs. John NJ. Hughes COM
planned that six lots owed by her on York
street near the Canal had been assessed
for $500 each. She declared this too great
Il valuation because some OF the lots were
under water.
