cations. is emphatic testimony that
the whole Southis aware that Roanoke,
Roanoke business men and Roanoke
business methods are three models OF
excellence, and standards which sci
the gauge for other cities, other men
aud other methods.
Nor is this recognition confined TO
Huntsville. to single line Of invest
meut or TO the South. There is no city
in America Of the size OF Roanoke
which is as extensively known, adver-
tised or talked about. There is no city
of its population whose marvellous
growth has been the subject OF such
general comment.
1t is to BE expected. No city c! its

startling announcement that while
fTe real estate of that city is assessed
al SIS. 65O. $50, its real value is S23.6lS.-

Of the Register, the assessors Of Roam
oks went over the city and prepared
their figures early III the spring. They
could only take the most conservative
estimates Of value, and did what The
assessors of Danville, OF Richmond, of
Norfolk, of every city and coanty in
the State did and have done for the last
quarter of century. They assessed
property at about SO per cent Of Its
selling value.
The Register will not claim that
any gilt-edge corner lot in Dauville
can be purchased for its assessed valae
or twice its assessed value. Nor can

the country, for the practice is general,
and buy the best class of realty at any
