Five Per Cent Tax on Atlantic City Property Debate
Citizens explain how a five per cent tax on city property would be calculated under the Atlantic Southern Railway extension plan. Based on assessed values, the tax would be five per cent of one quarter of the evaluated value, with examples for $500, $1,000, and $2,000 valuations. Public endorsement notes the tax would be two years to pay, with specific due dates and reversion if the extension is not completed by December 31, 1911.
