and in having varian assoet atrs llilile furniture and wood way manufacturing join the ranks councils became concerned over increasing population and l not soin creasing industry be sal j and ex pert opinion was that we were get ting an overbalance of industrial as sessment it is my hope that delrex with its guarantee to maintain a 600 balance will help develop our town sensibly with a reasonable tax rate as we increase in sue j stressing importance of industry the mayor spoke of an industry which pays 7 000 in tales 1 he same area with housing replacing the industry would pay only 400 in
