Valuation Commission

The following report was presented in the
Board of Mayor and Aldermen, Thursday eve
ming:
The joint standing committee on fieance, to
whom was referred the communication of the
Committee of valuation uuder date of Feb Sd,
1879, have attended to their duty and beg leave
TO report: That in considering the subject they
made request in writing to said commissioners
for more definite and detailed report Of the
progress and condition of their work, so as to
enable the committee and City Council to act
more understaudiDgly, and received the accom-
panyipg answer, signed by two of the commit.
tee. The Council eau judge, as well as the
committee, how much additional light it
throws upon the subject. 1t is now too late
for the present City Council to take action iu
the premises, and this committee advise that
the whole subject bs referred to the next Coun-
Gil, with this suggestion, that the course this
matter has taken demonstrates the mistake
that has been made in departing from the in
tents and spirit at least, of the original order,
under which the work Of retaliation was un-
dertakeD, that it should be under the surervs-
ion and control of the assessors, rot carried on
outside and independently of them. The as
SCISSORS department., next to that IF the treas
ury, is the most important in the city govern
ment. Valuation of property as a basis of just
and equal taxation, is one of their chief duties.
They, and they alone, are the appointed and
sworn officers to perform it, and on them lies
the responsibility of its due performance. If
they require help, clerical or otherwise, it will
doubtless be afforded them upon proper appli-
cation to the City Council. And 1T is to be
presumed that that honorable body will fix
their compensation, commensurate with the
labor, skill and time employed in their appro-
pirate duties.
The committee, therefore are of the opinion
that whatever is done hereafter towards the
completion Of this important work-important
especially in view of the new state valuation
should be done by the assessors, and If they
need assistauce,i it should be granted them upon
application on their part showing the necessity
thereof and the whole work in the future car
ried on under their direction and supervision.
If the responsibility is theirs, theirs should be
the direction and supervision.
Per order,
