Low Appraisement

b, The decennial land appraisement In
Belmont county is exciting considerable
comment, and there are, not only sur
pEisIng inequalities, but glarlng iucon-
sistencies. all Of which work great in
justice to communities, as we'll as to
individuals Tie st. Clairsville Ga
zette, in noticing some Of these, points
out adjoining farms OF practically equal
value-one is appraised at $40 per acre,
the other at $40. Then It says that In
tColerain township. which was ap-
praised at 1920 in 1890 and 81, 600 this
year was sold last spring for s4500-
assessed at about one-third Its actual
value. A tract OF twenty-one acres in
Washington township. appraised In
1890 at $3.50, this year at $3.50, was sold
last winter for l,0Oo-appraised at
about one-sixth It's real value. An-
other. tract OF six and one-half acres in
the same township appraised at $40 in
1890 and at $500 this year, was sold
about one year ago at 3.000-appraised
at one-ffth its real value. Still an
other tract OF forty-one acres In Wash
ington township, which was appraised
in 1890 at. 500 and this year at $3.50. was
sold shortly before the appralsement
was made at ;1,s72. The appraiser
knows this, or should have known 1t.
and yet he placed the farm at less than
one-third its actual value. A tract OF
twenty-four acres in Pease township
appraised in 1890 at s1.11o. and this year
at $500, was sold year ago at $4,000,
the appraisement being less than one
third the market value.
