Difficult Matter to Solve all the
Dilemmas in Satisfactory Way.
Special to the EVENING NEWS:
NEW BRUNSWICK, Jan. 31;-
Several important decisions on tax ap-
peals were announced at the final sit
ting of the County Board of Equali-
cation yesterday afternoon and among
them was that in the matter of the
taxing of $50, 900 tons of coal stored
by the Susquehanna Coal Company at
South Amboy. The board let this as
sessment stand.
The assessments on sidings at the
rate of 81 a foot were not changed
although two or three railroads filed
appeals thereon. The Pennsylvania
road got reduction on some of its
property here wrongfully assessed,
the Raritan river road on it's station
here and the Central railroad on its
station at Perth Amboy.
A big slice was knocked off the as
sessment on the lands of the Susque-
hanna Coal Company in Madison
township and on the water plant
property of Perth Amboy in that
township, the effects of which will
be felt in the tax receipts of that
township.
The board has completed the work
for the year 1906 and will now devote
its time to this years valuations.
William A. Spencer, clerk of the
board, has finished making out the
