An interesting session OF City
Council was held last evening to
consider several important measures
of interest to the tax payers.
City Solicitor Cooper was present
and advised the council in relation
to several matters, one OF which
was the duty of the assessor IN MAX
ing his assessment.
Mr.. Shearer. questioned whether
the assessor should not assess all
bnildings and building lots and he
was told that it was the duty of the
assessor to assess all such with talr-
ness and equity considering the
value and rental value and not to
assess arbitrarily. :,
Mr.. Madden, collector, questioned
relative to- the collection OF taxes
which came near expiring OF being
outlawed. He was throughly In
structed in relation to the law.
That he should notify all owners OF
properties to pay and then after ten
days to proceed to collect by means
of restraint OF sale.
On motion of Mr.. Duffy instruc-
tons We're issued to Collectors Mad
den and White to proceed and col
lect the taxes as provided for law.
Mr., Madden stated that he would
collect those on his duplicate If he
was compelled to sell all the prop
critics. He spoke in reference to
persons who refused to pay their
school taxes and who had children
attending the schools and stated
that be feared that he would be
compelled to send these persons to
iail to comply with the law.
