A revamped school budget, cut by approximately $51,000, will be submitted to Onteora school dis­tric t voters within the next 30 days. The June 17 dedsion by the Onteora board of education came in the wake of two sound defeats of the proposed $2,696,435 budget for the next school year.

Equalization Rate Raised

Margaretville received the first substantial raise in its equaliza­tion rate in many years in a re­port issued Monday by the state board of equalization and assess­ment. Based on the 1963 assess­ment rolls, the village equalization rate was set a t 36 per cent, a dim b of three over the 1962 rate.

Equalization ,rates are the per­centages th a t a community’s as­sessed valuation bears in compari­son with the estimated “true” or m arket value of its taxable prop­erties. Margaretville’s means tha t the state board believes that properties in this village are as­sessed a t approximately 36 per cent of what they would bring in an open n:iarket sale.

Margaretville’s rate had been declining for several years as real estate values rose while assess­ments remained relatively stable. This is the first reversal in sev­eral years and reflects a general trend on the 76 villages induded in the report.

The village of Andes was noti­fied Wednesday that its ra te had been lowered from 34 to 32, based on the 1963 assessment roll.

Delhi, the third Delaware coun­ty town reported on this wedc, also was cut, from 33 to 32 per cen t
