Effect Of Tax Assessments.
In speaking of the present condition of
the market Mr.. J. Barton Miller of the
company said:
THE tax bills rendered against George
town property for the year ending June 80,
1903, show a very heavy increase in the
assessment. Georgetown property in the
eyes of the assessors, as well as in the
eyes of the general public, has very mate
rally increased in value during the past
three years. While this increase affects
the individual directly, men of liberal views
say that it Is having wholesome effect
upon property in general More than ever
now, the amount for which property is as
sessed is entering into the matter of de-
termining the value of property by pros
pective purchasers"
