VALUES HAVE GONE DOWN
Consequently the County Tax Levy
| Will Be the Same as It
Was Last Year.

In the county at large. as in the
city, there has been a marked dcpre-
citation in real estate values and, as
consequence. the expected reduction
in ths county tax levy is made impos-
Sibe.
At meeting of the county commits
sioners yesterday the levy for the en-
suing year was fixed at seven and
onc-half mills. the same as it was
last year. when a half mill was added
to the regular levy to provide for the
payment of the bridges.
The valuation this year is s3i.594. .6777,
or $1,1l0,000 less than it was last year.
OF the total valuation, Scranton has
$22l47,9l3 Carbondale. sl.796, ,949, and
the rest of the county, $lO,649,S15 The
bulk of the depreciation was in Scran-
ton, but almost every municipality in
the county contributed somethingN to
the decrease
The only explanation of the decrease
vouchsafed by the county commissions
ers is that the triennial assessment
finds property cheaper than ii was
| three years ago. one particular cause
Of the decrease Is that coal tracts
lessen in value as they are worked
| out and during the past three years
some large tracts have been trans
ferred from the coal land" to farm
land list. The reduction in the as
sessment against the Lackawanna
Iron and Steel companys property and
| the properties on the extreme lower
and upper portions of Lackawanna
| avenue are given as instances account
| ing for the reduction in the city valua-
| tiOn.
a bond issue is also a very strong
probability of this year. Money will
have to be raised to pay for the monu-
ment. which cost about $50. .0OO the i'm
provement Of the court house grounds,
to cost $1,000: improvements at the
| Jail, $4,000, and the costs OF the cleo
tion contest. $4,000 or thereabouts,
| making a total of $l5- 900. This will
mean that there will he no lowering of
| the tax levy next year either.
