ROBERTS AND ELY LOSE
Commissioners Hold Worth of
Some Properties Not Over
estimated

Successful appeals to have their prop
erty assessments reduced have been
made by more than thirty residents of
Abingdon, Cheltenham and Upper Dub
lin townships to the commissioners Of
Montgomery County.
Among those who protested that as
sessors had placed too high a valuation
on their homes for taxation purposes
was Howard A. Loeb, of Cedar road. In
the Elkins Park section. His house.
buildings and twenty-four acres were
valued at $25,000 Mr. Loeb said he
paid 100000 for nineteen acres and
$2bO0 for the other five acres.
After Mr.. Loeb had called attention to
lower assessments made on nearby
holdings OF almost the same area, the
commissioners reduced his assessment
to $4,000.
"A reduction from $4,000 to $4,000
was made for Mrs. Helen Kenkle. of
Cioverly lane, on her house and fouy
and one-half acres.
The commissioners refused to reduc.
the assessments of John c. Roberts
whose seventy-three acres are assessed
at $4,000, and of Israel II. Ely, whose
lot 10 assessed at $500.
