Harry II. Schoheld and Robert ID.
Beardsley who were named Dy
Warden Frank Lobdell In 1880 to
re.value all borough property In
accordance with state law. The
work OF the re-valuation committee
was completed last fall In time for
the assessors to incorporate the
valuations set In the grand list for
1881.
The re valuation committee made
an aggregate increase OF 30 Id per
cent on all properties. Announce
ment Of the increase met loud pro-
testing from freeholders who point
ed out that at the present time
conditions were such that 1t was
no time to make increases.
The matter was considered by
the board of warden and burgesses
and all the board could do was to
ask the ASSESSORS to defer using the
list for taxation purposes until
some later date when II was hoped
that business conditions would be
better. The board of assessors had
already done much of their work
when this request was made. How
ever, they did consent to make
general cut Of IL per cent In all
Iistings. Even this cut did not
