TAK0MA PARK
TAX REVISION
ABANDONED

TAKOMA PARK, Md, April IL.
Takoma Parks reassessment of
real property, which increased the
towns assessable basis by approx
imately $4,000, 900, has been set
aside, according to an announce
ment today by Mayor John r..
Adams.
Mayor Adams declared that de.
spite the fact that the revaluation
would lower the tax rate for all
town residents approximately one
third, it would be accomplished at
the expense OF certain residents
whose assessments had been in.
creased. Failure of the General
Assembly to authorize a State
wide general reaSSesSment is re-
sponsible for abandoning the To-
cal one, he said, adding:
eat the time the assessment
was ordered we believed that the
State Legislature was going to
favor a Statewide assessment.
Since this was postponed we be.
neve it would be rather inap-
prOpfiate for a municipality to
increase its assessments at this
time, since a higher basis here
would result in local residents
paying a larger and unfair pOr.
ton of the county taxes"
The annual budget will be
adopted June /, and it is expected
that the same tax rate of 95 cents
per each 500 assessment will be
continued for the fiscal year be-
ginning July /.
