PIKE COUNTY
ASSESSMENTS.

The basis for the tax assessment in
this county, ss fixed nine years ago
when the assessment was raised
1853 ass vas one third to ole half
value, but gradually through Ap-
psals. Adjustments, increased cost Of
building etc. 1t has been dropped in
some sections TO less than one third
value; this was particularly true in
Greene township at the triennisl as
sessment three years ago, when the
assessment on all buildings in that
township was increased. The action
of the board of revision for the present
triennial year in adopting and acting
on the following resolution:
"Whereas believing that Buildings
Houses, Barns, etc., as assessed and
rated by the assessor, for the year
1910, in Matamoras Borough, are
rated and assessed to at least 10 per
cent lower value than like Buildings,
Houses. Barns, etc, In Milford BorO.
and the various townships Of the
county, therefore be it
Resolved: That the valuations on
all Buildings, Barns, Houses, etc., in
Mstamoras Borough, as returned by
the assessor for,I9lO, be and are here
bv increased ten per centuIn (I096)")
lis meeting with much adverse crit
icism, which it would seem, is not
sustained by the facts. Below are
given some figures taken from the as
sessment of Maiamoras BorO, at ran
dom, after tho 10 per cent had been
added; and anyone at all conversent
with values; or that has gone through
the ordeal Of building, will rapidly
see that in most instances these prop
erlies are still, rated low. and bat
few rated high in comparison with
like properties elsewhere in the cum
ty.
