Taxes Reduced

Joseph Shunder, represented by II. B.
Ware, Esq., made an appeal from the
assessment OF the Colonial Hotel in
Penns Grove before the County Board of
Taxation OH the 10th. When the appli-
cation for license was made at last April
term of court Mr.. Shunder stated that
the property cost $4,000. The assessed
valuation was placed at $26, 625.
The appeal was based on the fact that
the building was not finished and fur
nished on May Goth, the date on which
valuations are made for assessment. The
Board reduced the taxable valuation to
$16,625.
The hotel was built with the expecta-
ton OF getting a liquor license and it is
held that it is now run at a loss. 1t is
now being conducted as a first lass tenn
perance house. Being the only pdblic
place for lodging and meals in Penns
Grove it has a goodly growing patronage
under the courteous management of II. H.
Green.
