Last year heavy fall of snow set
the boys at work with snow.balls and
the men at work on sleds OF all kinds.
The sun came out vigorously and in a
short time the snow was gone and the
fun over. This year, the snow came
in few light sheets and the unusual
continuance of cold weather has kept
it on the ground. Expecting, though
that 1t would melt AZ soon as it did
before, no preparations were made, and
several days OF good sleighing have
been lost. It may be that it is not too

In your PAPER of August 18th stated that ont
OF The Commissioners had informed me that they
had asked the information OF their counsel
prior to making the levy for 1883, whether they
had the legal power TO increase assessments oil
real estate in cases where 1t had changed In
value since IL was assessed. The COMMISSIONER
told me that their counsel mad informed men
ments that had been made by the genera assess,
ors; but that in cases like that of the Maryland
ment had been made by the Commissioners
themselves, the law did give them power 10
in That paper of August 18th. cited various
laws of Mary land which clearly give the Com
missioners the power and directs them TO exer-
else it, to reassess any and all property, no mat
ter by whom assessed, that has changed in value
since 1t was assessed.
After stating the law as the books give II, | re-
specially asked the counsel of the Commission
ers why he gave them advice contrary 10 law,
apparently, and also asked the Commissioners
why they had not SEQ tSem hcy
had the power to increase II, like the case OF the
Maryland Central railroad, which is worth
300 mile and is assessed at 5000 per mile. =

manner, yet no notice has been taken OF them,

Commissioners of Hartford county: Why did

that they were not empowered by law 10 change
the assessments of property that had been as
sessed by the general assessors in cases IN which
the value OF It had changed since it was assessed
Second-Of the Commissioners of Hartford
county: Why did you fail to reassess property
in Hartford county that had been assessed by the
County Commissioners and had changed In value
since 1t had been assessed, or was VIGOROUSLY
assessed too low, when your counsel advised you
that you had the legal power to reassess ~
Third.-Do you think the Maryland Central
railroad or any other corporation is more en-
titled TO low assessment and low taxation be-
cause IL Is pecuniarily embarrassed than a strug-
Cling citizen of Harrord county is, because he is
