NEW SYSTEM WORKS WELL.
About Their Busfaess Affairs
when Outsiders Are Not Pres

The board OF equalization held busy
session yesterday and attended 10 the cases
OF about af,y taxpayers TIE plan Of hold
ing the boars's sessions behind closed doors
is working extremely wei. and 70 1t the
members of the board attribute ihs fact
that the taxpayers who were before the
e3ualize-s yesterday were accommodated
in are-two-three order.
There are many ways in which the board
finds the executive session plan 10 work
well. For enc thing. the board frtis that
the taxpayers talk more freely and can
dfdly rega riding their private business af-
fairs when no outsiders are present As
Councilman James says no merchant. for
example likes to- stand up before the
ecual;zers and declare that his stock OF
goods is 90 poor quality. or made to appear
larger by clever arrangement Of TIE goods.
when one Of his competitors may be al his
elbow listening with greedy ears But in
private the board finds that the merchants
cheerfuIly furnish much information about
their business affairs that would otherwise
he unobtaina BILE Many OF them yesterday
brought up their books and Invoices for
the examination Of the board.
And for the purpose OF finding out from
d
is worth and what taxable property he has
the new system works like 4 charm. The
board used TO find il extremely difficult
20 get taxpayers TO give information con-
corning other persons when before the
board but now when the board desires such
information arfi pledges itself to secrecy.
some interesting facts are often 10 be
learned.
Councilman Rinehart. as much as any
other member OF the board Is the origin
alor Of the closed door session plan. and
vas led TO suggest il for the reason that
the chatteriBg OF the taxpayers in the
room waiting their turn 10 appear before
the board rendered Il almost impossible
TO- him 10 hear what vas going on in the
boards own circle. his hearing not being
acute. II Is quite probable that the inno-
walton will become the general custom Of
the board in future years Some az the
members NJ TIE board fear that taxpayers
may think that the board has no right 10
lock itsef in. and are anxious that every
body shall know that IL is only for the be-
ter accommodation OF the public that the
plan Was adopted. There Is no oath bound
secrecy about the meetings: tina, is. any
one who has been before the board is ri;
ful liberty 20 tell ali that transpired while
he was present.
Counci'ma James yesterday expressed
himself as being We! pleased with tire way
People we're cc'nirg up 10 attend TO their

often seemed to forget that there was such
