tai Valuation Of Property in
Township Made This Year
Over Last.
RICHMOND CREDITED
FOR MAKING SHOWING
Small Gain Made in Township
Outside Of Two Corpora
I. tions Offset by the Loss in
Spring Grove.

The recapitulation of the assessment
report, made this spring by Wayne
township assessor, Charles +. Potter,
and his eighteen assistants, shows a
creditable gain over the total valuation
of personal and real estate. assessed
In the township in 1909. The total
valuation of property In the township
this year was reported at S13,043, 40;
last year. $13.6O3,31O; a gain of $780,
40 over last year
In making the assessment the field
men were divided into three depart
ments. One corp assessed property in
Richmond. a second in Spring Grove,
and third the township without these
two corporations. Richmond corpora
tion and that part of the township with
out Richmond and Spring Grove made
good gains over last year, but Spring
Grove lost.
Gain Made In City.
In Richmond the total valuation OF
property assessed this year, was <11,-
TAG, 74O, as against a total assessment
of $11.405.S7O reported in 1909. The
gain In the city assessment was $780,
$40. In that part OF the township,
without the corporations, the total as
sessment this year was $40, a
gain of SO, $50 for the year. In 1909
the report showed that the assessment
was $2.Oe34,37O The loss in Spring
Grove was larger than the gain was in
the township, consequently Richmond
corporation is responsible for this
years showing. Spring Groves loss
amounted to $3.50. In 1910 the total
assessment was $155.S90 while year
ago 1t was $183.O7O.
Trustee Potter In discussing the gain
made in the city, said 1t was due to
the increased valuation Of lots, the
greater number of additional improve
ments made within the last year and
tho discovery Of greater amount of
personal property. Had 1t not been
for the city, the assessment this year
would have been about the same as it
was last. What influence the gain will
have on the tax levy is not as yet de-
termined.
