Fib. 11, 1933. Editor. Scran'on Republican: Sir: I have noticed in the newspapers thai seme of toe property owners of the borough of Olyphant are very much excited about the valuations that have been placed on thsir property by the county board of assessors. As a taxpayer of the city of Scran ton I would like to sav a word about a comparison of the Olyphant assessment and nhe Scrarton I undersand that the home of Mr.

P. J. MoGinly in the borough of Olyphant. which could not be built for less than $15,000. even at today's low prices, is assessed for $930.

Also the building of W. J. Lyneit on Lackawanna street in Olyphant. which is assessed for $1,530 I would also like to call your attention to the home of Prof James Dsmpsey. who receives $5,000 per year from the Olyphant school district, and whose home is as sensed at $700.

Let us also look at the property of Best Broshers on Lackawanna street ia Olyphant. which was assessed for $4,500 for the year 1932 A comparison of these few of the many glaring examples of the way assstsments have been made in Olyphant for the past twenty years or more, with assessments as made in Scranton, discloses some very startling facts. In Scranton an ordinary six rocmn houre is assessed on an average $2,003, and what I would like to know is why should the owner of a hem: in Scranton that could be built for pay a tax of $14.00 for county purposes while Mr. McGintv In Oly phant whose home could not be buili for $15,090. pay only $6:30 countv tax in a year.
