NEED OF ! RrronM.


The large sum CD .. pSD OF stricken
on the poil-tax Is a Bsrlous loss to the
county, and clearly SHOVE that re-
form Is needed In the methods OF as
sessmcnt
The tax levy OF 1891 should have
produced from poll taxables 81, 1926. SO.
Therefore nearly forty per cent. of
the poll tax levy is lost and In the
opinion of this committee, this loss
results from the failure of persons to
pay poll-tax other than In a year OF
general election.
1t may be assumed that the same
amount will be stricken of in 1892 in
addition to the sum which will be ex-
tinguiahed on account OF the annual
assessment of 1892.
CONDENSATION OF ASSESSORS.
"This committee notes that the
method employed to determine the
compensation of assessors offers an
inducement for the multiplying oil
names, as each name counts an item
and Is paid for at the same rate as
property items. It Is submitted that
the method Is wrong, and Is undoubt-
edly not in accord with tho statutes
governing the compensation of as :
SCISSORS, 1t does seem that tho time
employed in the assessment at the
Legal rute per diem should be the basis
upon which compensation Is fixed,
rather than number of nnlnes OF poll
taXnbles,
This committee rsfers to the fact
that by tho act of General Assembly
passed April rs, 1891, the fiscal year
wns made To end on June 80 instead OF
on March 81, thus extending the then
current fiscal year three months
This committee feels unwilling to ad-
vise IN increased tax rate to meet this
Icing he Cd term. 1t having TO provide
for an extraordinarily expensive cleo
tion and for general assessment ex-
penses; thus ii would too largely iu-
crease the burden oil tho taxpayers
during the present year
REBATES OF TAXES.
attention Is directed to the system
OF rebates in taxes, viz: 3 per cent. If
paid before September |, per cent. if
paid between September and October
81 and per cent. being added alter
December /, This system might be SO
modified as to secure tue larger collec-
ton Of taxes when tho lists come into
tho hands OF the collectors of dslin-
quent taxes. For, after tho per cont.
is added on Decemherl, there follows
n period when no pHym nts OF taxes
are mnde, because the penalty being
the same for delay OF Il single day
as for a delay of nine months there is
no indueeinent TO pay.
