THIS WAS the conclusion reached by Utah Foundation, the private tax research organization, in a report which analyzed a recent study released by the U.S. Bureau of the Census. The study shows that the average property tax paid in 1976 on a single-familhome with a market value of $50,000 ranged from a low of $195 in Mobile, Ala., to a high of $2,445 in Trenton, N.J., with the average throughout the. nation amounting to $909., v y ACCORDING TO the study, average tax on a $50,000 home in Ogden was listed at $580 for 1976.
