In this connection, Mr. Reynolds reported that in 1941 the assessed valuation of Mill Hall real estate was $325,000 while in 1948 it was $347,000.

Some Not Paying Taxes This same woman also presented the matter of taxables living In the community who are not paying taxes, citing the example of one couple who has lived here for three years and has not paid a cent of taxes. These leaks in the local tax collection system, she said, would yield more money for the borough. In this connection, Mr. Bartges Informed the group that the school district has the right, legally, to add to its list of taxpayers the names of any such persons. Pie reported that other school districts throughout the state had carried out similar investigations through community surveys with amazing results.
