I ft. Tax Picture Explained SOUTH PLAINFIELD Councilman Donald Decker, chairman of the council's Economic Development Committee, last night explained the effect of a recent revaluation on the borough's tax picture. He said "runaway prices for Industrial property, accompanied by escalating prices for dwellings, made the revaluation necessary to assure that new ratables assumed their fair share of the tax load." The average homeowner might expect to pay 13 per cent more in taxes this year. "If the revaluation had not been conducted, he could have paid a 50 per cent increase," he said. "As an example, if a home was assessed at $9,600 in 1969 based on a ratio of 48 per cent of assessed to true (or market) value of his property, he would have paid taxes totaling $667.20, based on a tax rate of $6.95.

"This year, this same homeowner can expect to pay around $754. If no revaluation had taken place, the same homeowner would be paying around $1,000." been concluded before the budget was approved.
