A WAY TO EQUALIzE COUNTY
TAXATION

The failure of Governor Brown to
sign the assessment bill has directed
the attention of our County Commits
sioners to the provisions of existing
law with reference to the discovery
and valuation of property not assessed.
The subject was discussed at length
at their meeting on Tuesday.
Article 81 of the Code of General
Laws contains the following provi-
sions
SEcTIoN6. Every assessor appointed
by the Mayor and City Council of
Baltimore, and every Collector of
State and county taxes in this State
shall annually inform himself, by all
lawful means, of all property, stocks
or investments in his county, district
or city, liable to taxation, and which
may have been omitted in the assess
ment, and all buildings or improve
ments, and all property created or ac-
quired since said assessment, and
shall value the same at the full cash
value thereof, and shall make return
thereof to the County Commissioners,
or Appeal Tax Court, if in the city of
Baltimore and for the purposes of
this section, the said Collectors and
Assessors are hereby clothed with the
powers of general assessors, and their
valuation shall be subject to revision
and correction by the County Com
missioners and Appeal Tax Court.
SEC. z. The Collectors and Asses
sors shall be allowed such compensa-
ton for the performance of their
duties as assessors as the County Com
missioners or judges of the Appeal
Tax Court of Baltimore city may
allow.
1t will be seen from the above that
the County Commissioners, acting
through the tax collectors, have all
the authority needed to bring under
taxation any property in the county
that is not already taxed, as well as
the authority to equalize assessments
and taxation. The tax collectors have
all the powers of general assessors,
the Commissioners having the power
of correction and revision. This is
nothing new, but the tax collectors
have not exercised their duties as full
ly as they had right to do, for the
reason that the fee of twenty five
cents allowed for making each new as
sessment was SO small that they were
not willing to take much trouble to
perform the work.
1t will also be seen in the above ex-
tract from the Code that the County
Commissioners are not limited to the
fee of twenty-five cents for making
each new assessment but can fix any
reasonable sum which would compen-
safe collectors for searching out and
assessing hidden property.
We have'no doubt that if the Coun-
ty Commissioners were to offer a per
centage upon the amount of property
assessed, subject, of course, to their
revision and correction, at least mil
lion dollars could be added to the tax
able basis of the county, the tax on
which, at last years rate, would
amount to nearly $4,000. This would
make a material reduction in every
mans tax bill.
We hope the County Commissioners
will not suffer this matter to drop but
will do all they can to make every man
in Hartford county, at least, pay his
just share of taxes for county expen-
ses.
