A PLAN SUGGESTED.

AS means Of relieving tho town Of Johns
ton from its present financial dilemma, ii has
been suggested that the tax assessors add 70
per cent to the valuation and in this way OBJ
tainNthe relief sought by the recent financial
town meeting. The only objection to this
plan is very serious one. The state is en-
titled to "a certain percentage Of such a tax,
while n special tax such as ordered by the
special meeting can be devoted wholly to the
town affairs. The valuation, IL is claimed
could be increased on oil property except in
cases where the owners have been before the
board and made a sworn statement as to its
value.
In only very few cases has this been done
Most property owners prefer 20 accept the
terms Of the assessors rather than to appear
and make a statement. This matter may be
discussed ut tonight's Council meeting.
