RATAbLES JUMP
HERE; TAX RATE
IS ABOUT S2.07

Perth Amboy's tax rate will be
about S2.07 per 500 valuation, it Is
estimated. This is a jump of nine
points over the present rate. declared
to be due to an increase of about ten
points in the county rate ItTis fifty
two points lower than the estimated
rate for New Brunswick, which it is
believed will be in the neighborhood
of $3.50. There is healthy increase
in valuations in this city, which will
have a tendency to bring the rates
down throughout the county and will
probably bring the local rate down
from the estimated figure of $2.0S to
about SPOT. Rates will be deter
mined at meeting of the County
Board of Taxation to be held at New
Brunswick on Friday.
Total ratables of this city have in
creased to the extent of a million
and a quarter of dollars, according to
the announcement of Clerk j. Ed
ward Harmed yesterday, following re-
ceipt Of returns from this city. This
big increase will effect the county
rate, it is declared and will be the
means of bringing it down a peg or
two.
New Brunswick's ratables have
jumped this year to the extent of
about 100000. The new valuation
taxable in the county seat town last
year was $15,105,203. The net val
uation taxable in this city at the
same time was $20,674,318. This
is more than one-quarter of the to-
tai valuation in the county, which is
S74 277 S34 Numerous improve
ments, for roads principally, are de-
clared to be responsible for the leap
in the county trade, while appropria-
tions for several improvements, in
Guiding paid fire department, are
believed to be responsible for the big
jump in New Brunswick.
