Supervisor Stevenson chairman of the
committee on complaints and attachments,
submitted The following majority report:
Mr. Chairman and Gentleman IF tie B0ard
of Supervisors. Your committee on com.
plants and attachments would respectfully
report that they have examined the matter
of the petition of the La Sale National
Bank presented before them, asking an
abatement of the twenty per cent. which
the board OF supervisors have added to the
assessment of the personal property of the
Town of La Sale. And we, the undersign-
ed members of the committee on complaints
and attachments, having had the subject un-
der consideration, and believing the assess
ment of SAID bank corporation to be entirely
far and Just, and as high as other property
of the kind throughout the county, we feel
that the addition of twenty per cent to said
assessment would work great injustice to
said corporation. We therefore recommend
that the prayer of the petitioner be granted.

Supervisor Stevenson, chairman rs afore-
SAID, also presented The following minority
report:
Mr. ChairHtdn and Gentlemen Of tie B0drd
Of Supervisors: |, member OF your COM
mlttee on complaints and Attachments, would
respectfully report that have examined the
matter of the petition OF the La Sale Nation,
al Bank, asking that the twenty per cent.
of the town of La Sale be abated on the as
sessment of SAID bank corporation. And,
although believing said addition would be a
gross injustice to the petitioners and to all
other citizens of the town who are honestly
assessed. yet, after much reflection and ad-
vlsement, do not see IN the light of recent
constructions of the law, any power In this
board to grant them relief. AS appears to
the undersigned the property of petitioner
was assessed relatively too high, and had
petitioner attended the town board OF review
and insisted that the property of other clti-
zens of the town be assessed equally high,
the probabilities are that no addition to the
assessment of the town would have been
required; or, had he insisted that the assess.
ment of this property be reduced to fair
valuation as compared with the other prop
erty of the town, then the addition to such
per centage as was necessary to equalize the
town with other towns IN the county would
not have been burdcnsOme or nninSt to the
petitioner. The undersigned therefore asks
to be excused from further consideration of
the subject. JAS. w. STEVENSON,
Chairman.
