Re-assessment of Lands

We publish on the first page an Act recently
passed by the Legislature (Feb. 1st, 1922 pro
vidlng for the re- assessment of lands, in any
county or township, or the lots and improve
ments thereon In Incorporated towns of the
Commonwealth 1t will be observed that such
re-assessment is to be made upon the petition
of majority of land-holders in any county or
corporation, or upon the petition of majority
of the Board of Supervisors of any county, or
upon the petition OF majority of the land
holders in any township of any county. IF.
therefore, the lands of the county are assessed
at too high figure, the owners ought at once
to get up petitions for such for assessment,
In the manner prescribed by the Act. But as
all the expense attending such re-assessment
will have tc be paid by the taxpayers Of the
county or township demanding it, it may be
we'll to take that fact into consideration before
petitioning the County Court, as it may be
that it will cost more than will be gained by the
operation.
There is another Act, also published on the
first page, allowing any person, who feels ag
grieved by the present assessment. to have it
recti6ed upon motion before the County Court
and it may be that this actin force from
JAN Oath, 1S72--may afford sufficient RENE
dy to those aggrieved, without general re-
assess ment, which will involve considerable
costs to the counties or townships applying
for it.
