The Assessment.

In the last issue OF the IBERiAN,
under the caption OF the 'City and

ures which are well worth study.
The total assessment of the parish,
including all towns, is given for
this year, 34,5O0,O00, Deduct from
this New Iberia's assessment %,

have So 900, 600 for the parish, IN
GLIDING Jeanerette. The same ter
ritory last year represented on the
assessment rolls s2,t60,OOO, show
inc an increase OF 100000 or a lit
tie less than b pen cent? us.8
New Iberia'S assessment has
shown some marked changes, Last
years figures represented Sl,lOO,
600. Last year, after this assess
ment was closed, til, town suffer,
ed 100000 fire October 1Oth,)
wiping out large part of its bust
ness district. While yet the scars
of devastation are to be seen OF
every hand the total assessment
for New Iberia for tbs year shows
an increase of SO per cent or $500,
900.
In some cases the present Police
jury, sitting as a board of rev.ew-
ers of assessments in last July for
this parish, has arbitrarily and
without legal notice to the proper
tvho'ders, raised their assessments.
Equalization of assessments
could hardly be objected to by any
fair-minded person-but a study
of the rolls of this parish, compar
ing properties Of like conditions
and surroundings, reveals that the
larger the property Folder the
Internationally lower the assess
ment. Very frequently the little
fellow is carefully compared with
another little fellow, and it is made
clear that one or the other should
be and is raised in the name OF
EQUALIZATION: while big fellows
are compared only with big fellows
resulting mere frequently in re
dnctions in the name Of Equaliza
ton. Dollars are seldom compared.
The dollars of the small holder and
those of n large holder are never
compared. <
This is wrong; and there is an
immense field in tins direction fol
reform. The Reviewers Of the par
ish assessments should be intelli
gent enoHghlto realize that q dol
lars investment in the rural dis
tricts should he assessed equally
