the trienpial assessment Of property for
taxation purposes, is bringing TO Hgnt
rnuch discussion in various localities
throughout the state, OF the method IN
vogue Of making assessments. and Inc
general inequalities of values placed On
similar properties by different assessors-
There seems to be general demand for
some more equable method OF assessing
real estate, whereby values in the var
ious boroughs and townships Of county
world be placed more nearly on piane.
Up in yenango county, Judge Cris-
well wrote an opinion on the law Of the
assessment. and tie grand jury of the
same county az a recent session in their
presentment reported that they had ez-
annined into the matter and found gross
irregularities in the assessments. They
recommended that the District Attor-
ney institute proceedings against asses
sors hereafter In all cases where the law
IL not fully complied with.
Each assessor is required TO subscribe
TO an oath that he will assess al proper
ty at it's full value Without fayorit-
fsru or discrimination he must a1sess
each separate piece Of property at what
it would bring at public sale after fair
