'STATE UPHOLDS
CITY TAX BOARD
Decides in Favor of Newark in
All But Three Tax
Appeals.
The city u sewn-S came OF a vie


tor yesterday when the State Board
for the Equalization of Taxes handed
down a batch of decisions affecting
properties in Orange street. A COM
bined effort had been made by the
owners of realty in that street for
reduction of their assessment. This
had been granted in a number of in
stances by the County Tax Board,
and an appeal was taken in each case
by the city.
The State board ruled adversely to
the city in but three cases. In all OF
these the State board found that the
Newark Tax Board was too high and
that of the county assessors too low.
The largest reduction was made on
property owned by Edward j. Mack
sey, at $40 Orange street. in the Ross
VILE section. The city assessed the
property at S11, 800. The county board
on the appeal OF Mr.. Macksey re-
duced the assessment to $500. This
represented a reduction of $4,000.
The city appealed to the State board
from the county boards reduction,
The State board upheld the reduction,
but declared the assessment had been
reduced $50 too much. 1t fixed the
final assessment at 1920 This Is
reduction of s., 250 from the city as
sessment
The state board also upheld a re-
duction in the assessment levied by
the city against the property owned
by Eugene J. Beck at 509 Orange
street. The State board allowed a
81, $50 reduction, where the county had
recommended u reduction of 81, 700.
The property was originally as
sessed at S17,1O0 by the city. on the
appeal the county reduced the assess
ment to $l44 400. on the eity's appeal
the State board fixed the valuation at
SIS, $50 This is a reduction of 1880
from the original assessment.
The case in which the State board
modified the county boards assess
ment was that of the property at 509
Orange street. owned by Eugene j,
Seek and others. The city board had
assessed this at S17.100, and the county
card had reduced the assessment to
$l4. 400. Reviewing the proceedings,
the State board fixed the taxable
value at $15, $50
