SUFFIELD Home Building Rate Ahead Of Industry, Sheldon Says SUFFIELD, Conn. -Growth of industrial property in proportion residential property has shown a steady decline in the last four decades, according 10 Alfred C.
Sheldon, chairman of the Board of Assessors. Making Study Sheldon has been making a study of the percentages of industrial and residential property. He classifies houses, lots and two-thirds of the automobiles as residential property and all other type of property as industrial. including farmland, cattle and farm equipment, commercial buildings and utilities. He said the only way the trend can he reversed is by increasing the amount of industrial property in town faster than the rate of residential development.
Because residential property has gaining from $400,000 to $700,000 each year in the last 10 it has become a major portion of the grand list. Industrial property has gained proportionately less, although there has been a net gain in nonresiperiod. dential property during the same Figures Reversed In 1922, Sheldon said about 32 per cent of the grand list was made up of residential properties and about 67 per cent was composed of all other types of property. In 1962 the figures almost were reversed. Sheldon said.
Residential property made up 69 per cent of the grand list and other categories composed about 30 per cent. Twice in the past decade, while the town has been changing from a farming community to a residential town, there have been large drops in nonresidential categories on the tax list. In 1953 inventories dropped $300,000, probably because of tobacco stored in town, Sheldon said. The loss has never been made up because of the decline in tobacco growing here. Exemptions Granted In 1957 a state law granted farmers exemptions for their cattle and farm tools.
This resulted in reductions in those ries. Reductions in these agricultural categories have made necessary that the tax base be expanded in other industrial cate gories, Sheldon said, such as commercial or industrial plants and that invenfories, or else the homeowner's tax burden will continue to increase. The increase in residential property also has resulted in an increase in the number of school ucate. All taxpayers must pay children en which the town must edfor the cost of the education to the town. To ease the burden of.
taxes on homeowners, the town needs to attract more industries similiar to those already here. Because of their. character, they have not brought in more families with children to be educated. according to David Coffin. chairman of the Industrial Commission, SUFFIELD BRIEF'S SUFFIELD.
