It isFto be regretted, perhaps, tl1ato read
ers have to be reminded of the fact that there
is to be an election OIL Tuesday next for mem
bers Of the City Council and for town Of
dcers. The town officers are those who mail
age the whole machinery Of valuation and as
sessment for purposes Of taXation,-city.
State, and county,-and who collect the taxes
for all these purposes. The Aldermen are
those who appropriate and expend the rev.
enuc collected from city taxation. The du-
ties of both sets of officers are mainly nom
political and purely Of business char
acter, and therefore the city ought to have
in these Offices competent, reputable busi-
ness-men.
The office of Assessor Is OF the most i'm
portant character, and this year the duties
of the officer will be more important than
they have ever been before. The assessment
or valuation of property in 1850 is to be for
four years. The valuation placed on the
taxable property by the Assessor in 1850 is
to continue until changed by new valua-
ton to be made III 1851, the assessments dur
ing the Intervening years to be confined to
improvements, additions, and corrections.
The assessment, therefore, for this year is Of
more than ordinary consequence. Inequali-
ties and injustice in this years assessment
will be perpetuated during four years, while
honest and just assessments made this year
will remain undisturbed during the same
time.
