Taxes and Properties.

is bee, ming more unfair every year.

least able to pay the taxes, and who if
any body is to be benefited by special
favors should be the favored ones. II
any reductions have been made in
property valuations they seem to have
been made in favor of the large real
estate owners, and have been made in
some instances when not asked to b.
made. 1t is not creditable to our sys
TEN of assessments to think that the
real estate valuation of our city is less
by two million Of dollars than it was
eight or ten years ago in the face Of the
fact that real estate is advancing all the
while in prices, and that three thousand
new buildings have been erected and
1900 souls added to the population
A property holder no matter whether he
owns ever so little, and who has the
welfare of the city at heart, canrot
reasonably complain at tax rate OF
Sl.5O if an equal assessment was made
Instead of "a million dollars being the
maximum OF valuation it should he
about thirty millions. Some property
is assessed up TO almost its fun value
indeed there are some people who would
be glad TO sell for what their property Is
assessed at--while other property is as
sessed at two-rhirds its value. This
inequality is what needs dwelling down
and levelling up. There are sales made
every week all over the city, and this
should be a proper guide for the valua-
ton of property.

unfair to the owner to rate Il house at

We would not for moment do any
