Property owners on the Heights who lind
pleasureib by .re~lnarking @The lower section Oh
the city is sna good place to buy
things" will be surprised probably,
wheno- they receive their tax bills this
year. Real estate dealers have been
quoted in these columns as saying that Hill
reality is on the jump, that excellent rents
are commanded there, that the rapid transit
facilities have caused many of the best resi-
dents of the lower section of the city, to pack
up their things and find homes on the Heights.
Spectators have profited by these disparag-
ing references to the lower section and have
supplied the demand for small houses at low
rentals. Last fall and this spring witnessed
an unusual amount OF building
o N the Hill but now that the
tax assessors are going the rounds
not much is being laid. The Tax Commits
sioners have taken many things into consid-
GRAFTON in levying assessments this year. For
instance, in G~reenville, the new County
Road has put a double value on property in
certain sections. reuben Simpsons big i'm

the new water main from High Service to
Bidwell avenue increased trolley facilities
for reaching Greenviile, its rapid growth

things are jotted down on the note books. of

marked up. The new drainage system given
the Greenville section is sufficient alone to
warrant almost an increase of one-thlrd in
valuations. West Bergen and the Hill proper
will be given a shaking up. When lots
bring 81, 500, and persons are compelled to
erect $4,000 houses, the locality must be i'm
proving. The assessors are determined to
keep the valuations up to the proper notch.
