The figure at which they should assess
the vast domain Of :. 900 acres Of John D.

the assessors Of North Tarrytown.
Some Of them want to assess the prop
oTty just purchased by Mr.. Rockefeller at
its fun value, while others say this would
be in violation OF the order Of tho court.
which fixed the assessment last year
nearly $500 600 lower than the figures Of
the assessors
The board OF trustees Of North larry
town met the board OF assessors on sat
urday night to talk over the assessment
question. but did not agree.
Mr.. Rockefeller recently bought ffor
Rufus ". Weeks his country seat at
POeantico Hills at a cost Of $50 Geo. Daniel
Armstrong, who is now one Of the as
SCISSORS, declares he is going to assess
Mr. Rockefeller's new property az the
same figure Mr.. Weeks was assessed.
which would mean at fun value
