COMPARING VALUES
Statement by President Noyes Of
the Board Of Trade.
HIGH STANDARD EMPLOYED HERE
Assessing Real Estate in Washing
ton and Elsewhere.
A DETAILED STATEMENT
DETAILED STATEMENT

Mr.. T. W. Noyes, president of the board
of trade, submitted this morning to the
subcommittee of the House District COM
mittee investigating the local system of
tax assessment detailed comparison of
the assessed values Of real estate in this
and other cities.
Mr.. Noyes, after describing the unsatis-
factory results of the local assessment sys-
tenn, which led the board of trade to Sc
cure the passage of an act in 1894 to equal
iZe real estate values and provide for tri-
ennial assessments, said:
1.-THE new assessment was completed in
1885, and progress has since been made in
equalizing inequalities which have been dis
covered in it. 1t will not be surprising to
find THAI many Inequalities still exist not
yet corrected by the board of revision.
hampered in it's work by the necessity of
performing also the duties of excise board.
The board of trade would expect the har-
monizing of the local tax valuations to be
accomplished gradually but steadily, and
in due course by the permanent assessors
and revi:ers: ard as one means. of ex-
pediting the correction of such inequalities
by giving the beard of revision additional
time to devote to such work the recon-
mendation of the board of trade Is renew
ed. which suggests the separation of the
duties of excise board and board of assess
ors and leaves to the latter solely the
work of making and equaliZing ASSESS
ments, as contemplated in the bill orig
inally presented by the board of trade.
Ii by further amendment the work OF
revision should be made continuous an
additional improvement would be accom-
plished.
"a further suggestion in respect to the
matter of local assessments urges the
wisdom and justice of equaliZing down.
ward instead of equalizng upward in cor
recting such inequalities as may be dis
covered. Washington wants uniformity OF
assessments very much, but it does rot
want assessments or the standard of as
sessment raised; for the truth is that
Washington's assessment when compared
with these of other American municpali-
ties is already il the aggregate grossly ex-
cessive.
Actual and Assessed Values.
Extra census bulletin No. 65 Census Of
$500, in relation to the finances of NUM-
cipalities exceeding 1000 in population,
gives significant figures upon this point.
This bulletin states in parallel columns
the actual and assessed value Of real es-
tate in these municipalities, explaining
that the true value is as reported to this
office by local officers or others believed
their respective localities. The state
ments of actual values are, in many cases,
perhaps in all, underestimates, but the
comparative showing in respect to the
different cities is interesting and signifi-
cant. In Washington the assessed value
is SO much nearer the actual value tnan In
the otner cities trat it Is put as the same.
The showing in respect to a few munich
palties approximating Washington III size
with the exception Of Chicago) Is as fol-

Every Bullet It's own Doctor.

In spite of the terrible increase in the destructiveness of modern warfare the tendency of the times is to make con. flict as humane as practicable. For this reason the use of copper covered bullets has been drowned upon, and Philadel- phia physician has plan that he claims will wonderfully mitigate the suffering of man whose body has been perforat- ed by the modern small caliber bullet. It is we'll established that the velocity and penetrating force of these bullets are so great that unless they chance to strike bone they VIII pass entirely through mans body without his know ing it. The physician 8 idea is to attach small wad of aniseptic ostton to the rear of the bullet ThiRwould be cover ed by the shell of the cartridge and could not interfere with loading or fir- ing. As the bullet passes through per son the wad will antiseptioize the wound and prevent consequent suppuration. It may be possible to so nicely adjust the adhesion of the wad to the bullet that as the missile passes out 1t will leave the wad to plug the hole and stop bleed ing. Ultimately this system might do away with the necessity of large med ical corps. as each bullet would carry medical treatment for the unfortunate it wounded. d.-PhiladelDhia Record.
