the fact that this city leads New
Brunswick considerably in assessed
valuation The valuation of Perth
Amboy this year shows an increase
of more than s1,OeO,000 over last
year.
1t has been asserted that the tax
rate here would be very high this
year on account of the various street
and other improvements. but Mr..
Speneer's statement that it will be
only s1.67 bellies the rumors. Last
year the tax rate for ten months was
$3.50, or fifteen cents month. This
year the rate will be about $1e7 for
twelve months or less than fourteen
cents a month. Mr.. Spencer made
this comparison this morning and
says that in monthly proportion the
rate this year is lower than last year.
While Mr.. Spencer says the rate
will be about s167 1t may not ex-
ceed $165 per hundred.
