Tax rate to rise to 38.40 despite valuation gain
City Assessor Lucien O Geoffrion announced tentative 1955 valuations show a $2 million rise, pushing the tax rate to $38.40 from $37.20. Despite a record net valuation of $42,630,000 and PSC New Hampshire Electric Co. holdings up $1,236,000, only about $75,000 more income is expected, not enough to cover an $131,805 increase in expenditures including Penhallow Street parking Lot costs. State Tax Commission may offset by applying surplus revenue.
