In a battle of wits, two of Perth Amboy’s industrial giants, the C. Pardee Works and the Henry Maurer Company, are set to face off against the Middlesex County Board of Taxation in a showdown over their 1924 assessments. The two plants, which account for a whopping $150,000 in total assessments, are seeking massive reductions in their tax bills. The hearing, scheduled for Monday, June 23, 1924, at 2 o’clock in the city hall council chamber, is expected to draw a large crowd, with the New Brunswick Board of Trade represented by Russell E. Watson, who will be scrutinizing the county board’s actions to determine whether they are lawful. If the county board grants the reductions, Watson believes that an appeal will be lodged immediately by the New Brunswick Board of Trade, which represents the industries of that city.
