URGE TAX-DODCING FIGHT
Burlington County Seeks Increase
in Corporation Assessments

Beverly. y. j., Jan. 16.---As a result
of the victory of Mayor Thomas Lee in
forcing the Public Service Corporation
to pay taxes on an assessment that had
been more than tripled. the Burlington
County Board OF Taxation is planning a
country wide campaign against tax
lodging by corporations. A superficial
survey is said to have shown the county
board that utility corporations have un-
derrated their valuations in statements
to the assessors more than 100000 in
the county, with the result that the cor
porations have been able to evade their
full share Of the tax levies, while prl-
vate taxpayers throughout the county
are this year paying the highest tax on
record.
In directing Beverly's fight to increase
the Public Service assessments here,
City Solicitor Francis j. Smith uncov-
cred such a fund Of valuable inforna-
tion that the county tax board. It is re-
ported, will engage him as special coun-
sci to force the Public Service and other
corporations to pay taxes on a true
= valuation.
