OBSERVATION
TOUR is MADE
BY TAX BOARD
Large Properties in County
We're Viewed Yesterday
Increased Valuation.
INSPECTION TO BE MADE
HERE SHORTLY

The Middlesex County Board of
Taxation, together with it's clerk.
William A. Spencer, were on the
second Of series of tours of obser-
vatlon yesterday. Together with as
SCISSORS of the respective districts.
they visited the property of some of
the largest taxpayers in Piscataway
Township, Borough of Dunellen.
New Market, Borough of Metuchen
and Raritan Township.
The trip was made in an automo-
bile. The first stop was Piscataway.
Later, the Borough of DunelIen was
visited and the party made an obser-
vat1on at the Hall Iron Works and
at Garrigues & lowering Structural
Iron Works, at New Market. After
partaking of luncheon, the party
proceeded to Metuchen and Raritan
In the afternoon. The tax board
members felt pleased with condi-
tions- The assessors were coached

third trip, to be held next We'd
nesday, will practically conclude the
observation work on the north side
OF Raritan river. The Borough of
Highland Park and Woodbridge will
be visited in the morning and after
noon the party will proceed to the
Borough of Roosevelt At some
later date the board will visit some
OF the large manufactures in this
city and vicinity.
good-sized increase in yalua-
tions all over Middlesex county is
expected this year. AS nearly as can
be estimated, New Brunswicks yal-
ues will be increased about half q
million. Last year the net valuation
as equalized by the County Board,
for New Brunswick, was $11,515,-
O66. 1t is pretty safe to say that
New Brunswick's figures this year
will be above twelve millions.
This city will have a still greater
increase, probably around $500, 900,
Last year the total here was $16,a
1853, so Amboy will rise to near
~ seventeen millions this year.
Large increases are also looked
for In Woodbridge, Roosevelt. South
Amboy and South River, with more
moderate ones in the other districts,
Probably q guess OF two and half
millions as the total rise in the
county would not be far amiss. Last
year the total valuation was $56,-
235,541, and this years estimated
increase will bring the county close
to $50. 100000, or only a step from
the sixty million mark
The decreased expenditures of the
freeholders have already assured e
lowering of the county tax rate, and
the raise IN valuations will tend tor
wards tho same end az that rafaa all
over the county, unless there are
local budget increases, are likely to
be lower this year.
