FOR THE RECORD

CLARIFICATION

AN EDITORIAL ON JAN. 29, REGARDING MONEY MAGAZINE'S RANKING OF PROPERTY TAXES IN ROANOKE, MAY HAVE BEEN UNCLEAR. THE MAGAZINE BASED ITS RANKING ON A $620 PROPERTY-TAX BILL FOR ROANOKE. HOW DOES THE ARTICLE'S AUTHOR EXPLAIN THIS FIGURE? THE SURVEY, HE SAYS, ASSUMES A "MEDIAN-VALUE HOUSE," AS REPORTED IN THE 1990 CENSUS, IN AN AREA "WHERE AFFLUENT HOMEOWNERS LIKE MONEY SUBSCRIBERS (MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME IN 1991: $69,275) ARE MOST APT TO LIVE." WE'RE NOT SURE WHAT HE MEANS, EITHER.
