Weston Herald: There has been great
injustice done TO taxpayers hy the assess
ors. Perrysburg township returned, Sl44,-
$50; Plain, Sal ,627; Center. Sill ,4O8 /;
Weston returned $27l 500. Weston re-
turned nearly double what Perrysburg
township returned, and SlS,447 more than
both Plain and Cenler!! This ia a gross
injustice 10 the citizens Of Weston town.
ship. 1t needs no comment other than to
state the accepted fact that Plain and Cen
ter should return more than Weston and
that Perrysburg should do likewise.
There is more truth than poetry in the
above. We believe a large majority OF the
people OF the townships named would be
willing to raise their valuation II n general
understanding could be arrived at, through
public meeting or otherwise. The low
valuation was reached in Perrysburg town
ship under the old regime when taxes were
kept up for years to five and six cents on
the dollar valuation, but experience hai
shown tliatit is easier to put the valuation
down than il is to raise it. A few year
ago the assessor Informed us that we ha6
our Office valued about twice as high Al
the property around us; we cut of S20t
and left it at that figure since. A highe
rate OF valuation would not materially in
grease the amount to be paid as the rat
would be somewhat lowered.
