paid by the taxpayer will be- the same
if the conditions are reversed The as
sessed valuation was lowered. it is said,.
on the recommendation of leading tax
payers who thought by this means to es-
cape large portion Of the state taxes.
There is, however, a sentiment in favor
of having the board of review place the
valuation back to its. former proportions
on the ground that the outside property
owner who sees his property valuations
holding up and rate decreasing is satis-
fed, but if the valuation decreased and
rate increases there is a general protest
The board has the power to raise the
entire city assessment and it will proba-
bly be done.
