This was the story City officials read today into valuation figures submitted to City Controller James E. Deery by Fabien Riemer, chief deputy

The revenue they anticipated on the basis of the estimated valuation last fall has shrank by $26.084, Mr, Deery said the rate was based on what officials last fall thought was a low valuation estimate of $310000000. On that basis, $1.28 would raise about $8,528.000. Imstead, the tax rate for this year applied against the reduced actual valuation will produce only $6.502,-016--0or 325984 Jess than was anticipated. “We were lucky as is," My Deery commented. “If we had estimated the valuation any higher than we did, we might have been in the hole

Reduction to Be Spread

The Controller said that he and Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan had planned to spread the necessary reduction though a number of departments so that no single service will be curtailed detrimentally The making of a pudget is guesswork to rome extent, Mr. Deery explained. The valuation must be as timated the time the budget Deing made because it is 100 «arly to get the real figures Officials are ally careful about estimating it too high to avoid the situation which has developad now My. Deery said. “In fact, we expected the valuation would actually be higher than our estimate” Mr. Deeryv said. “While the loss we'll take is =quivalent to more than half a cent on the tax rate, it may be possible that it will be made up through an increase in municipal revenues, although that’s guesswork, 100.”

Personal Valuation Down

In computing the City's valuation, figures for real and personal property are used. The real property valuation this year showed little change-—it was $373.250.820, only $213,180 below the $373473000 for last year. The big drop came in personal! property, real and personal property of steam and electric railroads and utilities’ personal property, which declined $3911.460 The total personal property valuation for last year was $138625560 compared to $134 714100 for this year Mr. Deery and the Mayor said they were at a loss to explain why the drop in personal property valu ation had been abrupt, while real property valuation remaineaq only slightly below last year The Controller said he would con fer with Mr. Biemer and other County officials on the drop to de termine whether a closer estimate of valuation could be made this
