Smith Street Property
Valuations Too Low,
County Board Declares
County Grants Reductions
Where Property Is Damaged
by Grade Crossing Work
INSPECTION IS HELD
Factory Valuations Are Ap-
proved-GeneraI Survey
Here in Year Indicated

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov 26.-
The County Board of Taxation spent
the entire day yesterday in Perth
Amboy inspecting Smith street prop
erty and those properties affected by
the grade crossing elimination. Sew
eral of the property owners viewed
the properties which it is claimed
are damaged by the grade crossing
elimination with the board and al
though the property owners felt the
property had deprecated about rs
per cent the Board of Taxation was
OF the opinion that the depreciation
was not more than SO per cent. The
Perth Amboy assessors were there
fore instructed by the county board
to grant deductions in the assess
ments on the properties and 1t is ex-
pected that deduction will be in the
neighborhood of so per cent.
In the inspection of the Smith
street property, the board had with
them figures showing the prices at
which the property had recently sold.
The personal property. the assessors
found to be low in the Smith street
assessment and instructed the asses
sors to bring up the personal assess
ment to where it should be. Blanks
are to be sent to tho store keepers
on which they re-to give data con-
corning peronal property, but il
these fail to bring about the correct
Information the assessors were in
structed by the county board to 80
into the stores and make the assess
ments themselves.
The county board also found the
building assessments to be low in
Smith street. and informed the asses
sors to bring up the assessments
nearer the price at which the build
ing Is valued. The Perth Amboy as
SCISSORS informed the county board
that prices shown in recent sales
were inflated. but the county board
was of the opinion that this is an
"old chestnut" and that If the peo.
pie are willing to pay inflated prices
for the property, the property must
be worth it.
In some instances the county
board pointed out buildings were
assessed at $5 per. cubic foot, while
others were assessed as low as ninety
eight cents per cubic foot. This the
county board held is too big a diff
ference. The uniform assessment as
planned by taxation experts was
talked of during the inspection and
the county board was informed by
the Perth Amboy assessors that they
had given such a plan some consid-

eral taxation survey may take place
In Perth Amboy next year.
The factories of Perth Amboy were
not visited as it was felt that no
substantial increase would be made
over last year. when the factory as
sessments were taken into consider
alton. The assessors were advised 20
make corrections in their assess
ments and after the work is COM
pleted the county board will again
visit Perth Amboy and make its final
inspection.
The board of inspected the assess
ments in Dunellen Monday and found
the assessment there unequal. The
assessors who had completed about
fifty per cent of their work were in
structed to go over 1t and revise it.
