Dumont, appointed co-chairman of the committee with Assemblyman Robert J. Wegner (D-Passaic), said the group would meet again October 8 to discuss these other aspects that have to be resolved before legislation is drafted. 5 Problems They are: 1. What to do about replacement revenue for Hudson County. It is feared that millions of dollars from railroad taxes will be lost if uniformity is established in Hudson County.

Dumont conceded we dont know how much of a loss it would be but he there was no question there would be some drop in revenue to Hudson County under uniformity. 2. Assessment ratios on business machinery and equipment. Dumont said the starting. point for discussion on this question would be the state tax policy commission proposal for assessing, these categories also at 40 per cent.

He said one stumbling block was whether book value cost less depreciation or market value should be used to determine the worth of machinery and equipment. 3.. The commission proposal for 10 per cent of true value assessments on business inventories. Some would like to see this eliminated, but that would then pose the problem of finding further replacement revenue for the state from other sources. 4.
