Atlantic Terra Gotta Company
Asks SAT, 900 CUT in Assessment

held that they were not too high. The
appeals have been made by the company
ON the grounds that the assessments are
in excess of assessments levied ON prop
rty of like character and similarly
situated in the locality of the Perth
Amboy Terra Gotta Works at High street
and Buckingham avenue, and Stanford
streets, respectively.
The appeals in detail are as follows:
Block ia, lots 33 to 40, on Stanford
street, wants personal assessment of
$4,000 reduced to $1,000.
Assessment of 81 800 on land in block,
144, lots 33 to Al, wants reduced to
81 900.
Block 20S, lots l and 2, wants assess
ment of $65,000 reduced to $4,000.
1t is not believed that the state board
will grant the appeals, as they seldom
recognize the grounds on which the re-
duction is asked.
