The Senate Assessment Bill.

~S--N -
The new assessment bill which was favor
ably reported by the Committee on Finance
in the Senate, last week, appears to have
been carefully drawn and if it becomes law
it will no doubt tend to equalize the burden
of taxation-a contamination devoutly to be
wished.
1t provides, first, for the taxation of shares
of stock in joint stock companies and banks,
and exempts United States, State, county and
incorporated city and town property churches
parsonages and grounds, cemeteries, provi-
sions for family use. the working tools of me-
chanics and manufacturers moved or worked
by hand. wearing apparel, fish while in pos
session of the fisherman, hospitals, asylums
and benevolent institutions. public libraries,
book accounts or bills receivable, such shares
in building associations as may be repre-
sented by mortgages. The plant Of manufac-
turers for period of five years from begin
ming operations is also exempt.
q Steam railroads are to pay the annual
State tax upon their gross receipts within
the State, and the real and personal property
of such railroads are to be subject to county
and municipal taxation. Likewise telegraph
and telephone companies, electric light COM
panies, fertilizer companies, express compan-
les, title insurance companies, safe deposit
and trust companies shall pay State tax on
their gross receipts and county and munich
pal taxes on their property.
All property shall be valued at its full
cash value, without looking to forced sale.
Two assessors at large shall be appointed
in each county, and also one assessor for
each election district, who shall join and aid
the assessors at large in assessing property in
his district. These assessors must be pro-
perty holders and are to be appointed by
the Governor. The latter is also to appoint
three persons in each county to constitute q
Board of Control and Review.
The pay ofeach of the officers named is to
be So 80 day for every day of actual ser
vice. Each Board of Control and Review
may appoint Clerk at $3.50 day. The
expenses of the assessment are to be provided
for by the County Commissioners in each
county.
The assessors are to begin work on the
first Tuesday in May next and the Board of
Control and Review upon the first Tuesday
in September next. The assessors are al
lowed until the second Thursday in Septem-
Der to complete their work, but the Governor
may extend the time to the second Tuesday
in November.
The bill provides the manner in which ap-
peals may be made to the Boards of Control
and Review and sets forth definitely and dis
tinctlY the duties of the assessors and review
ing boards.
The bill also sets forth at length the plan
of assessing in Baltimore city.
