tax on mortgages is wrong in principle ana
should be abolished altogether. The Governor IS
wrong when he says that sra 5ea eSas I srookyn the
assessments are up the full market value OF the
property, in general. although there are some IN
stances where the assessments are much TOO smai.
This unscientfc way of making assessments Is
really the difficulty in the way OF procuring an
abolishment of the mortgage tax. BuLcings shouio
not be assessed at more than 60 per cent or thelr
actual value, because that amount represents the
original cost the material that goes into thenn
The other 20 per represents labor The taxing

Frank Bailey. vice-president OF the Title
Guarantee and Trust Company, said:
find some marked objections to the new bill
taxing mortgages. In the first place believe that
there should be tax mortgages. as eventually
that tax will be paid by the borrower, however II
may be apportioned or collected. If ii were neces-
sary to tax mortgages 100000 could be collected
out of mortgages with much less hardship to the
borrower than is proposed in the new bill A tax
on mortgage should be based on the duration of
that mortgage.

run out of the way ahead of the log and
stumbled and fell, the log rolling over
him and killing him. 1t is said that he
has a child about eight years old, now an
