TAX ASSESSMENTS They Are Higher, Although the R«U

The tax rate for 1908 for Cape May City has been fixed at 81.844 on tbe 8100. Last year tbe rate was 82-08. Tbe easeased valuation has been raised 8800.000 over last year, which enables the rate to be brought down. Under this scheme, however, the city la somewhat of a loser became it has to pay the county a tax of 2U cents on a 8100. or tbe sum of 82128, and school (ax of 20.1 cents on a 8100, or of 11608, a grand total of 83726, which it need not have paid bad the valuation been Ml the tax rate remi tbe old rate or a trifle less. Tbe ordinary tax payer, however, will pay about tbe same amount of tax as last year on account of tbe raised valuanotwithstanding the decreased 71m amount of taxes, e pie are led to believe, help to pay for tbe improvenmota of the sewer water works during the current year. la not so, became the money to pay for thoae improved* raised by an issue of bond and they are yet to be paid for by the tax paytax payer pays toward these at the preeeut time, is the inthe bonds and the amount tor the sinking fund toward paying off these bonds at maturity.
