Some folks nj ,ue rather strangely with ref:
erencc to assessments. For instance they will
contend that bank stock should be assessed
dollar for dollar, while other property is as.
seSsrd at about one half its value. Il is all
right to assess the bank and other stock at its
par value. yet when it comes to assessing thriI
lands or town property at the figures which
they ask. they raise their hands in holy hOr-
ror. and cry Outrageous" II bank stock j.
to be assessed at MS par value. then we insis
that Il f.r.n valued at SIS per acre shall not be
assessed at $40 and SIS per acre. or town pro-
perry. valued at $1,000 ut Sl.500. but at what
they arc worth. There should be no dis
ordinations, tor the law does not comtcm
plate any.
