The bill before the Legislature pro-
vlding for annual assessments OF pro.
perty and persons is in the line OF re.
form and should become a law. As
the case now stands, there is a general
assessment every four years with
assessments during that time of
noting transfers, and adding to the
assessment of newly improved property
This during the confusion attending
such complicated system, leads to
a very imperfect assessment, many
properties escaping assessment dur
ing that time altogether though they
may have increased to double their
value during that period.
1t may cost little more to assess
property and persons every year. but
h is much more than made up by the
value of the increased assessments.
A comparison between the county and
city assessments will show the great
advantage of the city's annual ASSESS
ment, and there is no good reason
ewhy the system should not work well
for the county assessment What is
wanted as much as anything else for
the county is u receiver OF taxes
who will feel it to lie his duty to col
lect the taxes levied against persons,
The general disposition to avoid en-
tirely the collection OF poll taxes, es.
peclally if they are Republicans, leads
