for the members OF the Real Estate eN-
change. The tax committee of the exchange
held an emergency meeting last evening at
the office Of Graham & IRE to consider the
situation and it was decided to protest
against these reductions.
Considerable comment was INDUCED in
upon the manner in which the examination
of the representatives Of the Paxton-Gal
lagher company, NJ. Z. Smith & Co. and
the Lee-Glass- -Andreesen company was con-
Quoted. The particular point OF dissatis
faction was that none Of the gentlemen
was even asked to state under oath wheth~
or not the amount Of the assessment upon
the property of his firm as returned by the
Board Of Review was greater than the true
value Of that property, or required to give
any specific or definite information as to
the true value OF the property. Several Of
the members of the committee said that II
Messrs. Pckens, Smith and Andreesen
would state specifically under oath that the
amounts of their respective assessments as
returned by the Board of Review were
greater than the actcSl value of the prop
erty they would accept the statements
without question, but in the absence Of
such evidence they would oppose any re-
duction of the assessments.
1t was agreed by the committee to form
ally protest before the Board of Equalza-
tion against the reduction Of any assess
ment except upon the sworn statement OF
the applicant that the assement is greater
than the value Of the property. The COM
