By DANIEL T. VAN ATTA Assessed valuation in the Town of Perinton has increased nearly 43 per cent as a result of recent reappraisal, it was learned last night. Because the increase gives the town a broader tax base, however, not everyone's property tax bill will go up.

Actually he said Councilman Arthur B. Fox last night.

The object of the reassessment is to make property taxes more equitable, Fox said. "Some people's property assessment went up, and others were lowered," he said. As a general measure, he said, persons whose individual assessment rose more than 43 per cent will pay higher taxes. If your assessment increased less than 43 per cent, continued Fox, the overall tax bill should drop. "But this assumes that town expenditures stay the same," he said.

The reassessment was conducted for the town by the Thome Appraisal Service of Binghamton at a cost of $68,000. It took an extra year to conduct because Thorne missed a state deadline for fil- ing tax information last year, Fox said. According to a notice that was sent to town taxpayers this wek, the town's total assessed valuation increased from $81,012,975, as of June 1, 1970, to $115,670,900, excluding new construction since July 1, 1970, because of the reassessment. Ralph E. Burrus, town assessor, last night said he has been besieged with calls from residents since the notices were sent out.

"We're having a hell of a time," said Burrus. "But you always do with reassessment. "But I had nothing to do with this. People should talk to the Thorne people here at the Municipal Building."
