To = EJ'scrof TIE o. Escue-.
Since the county commissioners
have been so severely criticised by
Mr.. ". ". CIyatt for raising the as
sessment of certain property in Ocala
and the facts have not been brought
out, it seems right and proper that
they should be-that the reason for
the boards action should be fully
understood by all concerned. When
the board met to equalize the tax as
SCISSORS books, Mr.. Aver was present
and stated to the board that the total
assessment of property in the county
for 1904 would 2exceed that of 1908
some $500, 200, and none of this
amount consisted of valuation of
property raised in Ocala. This infor-
nation was the basis for the boards
action in the premises. To verify
that the assessor was correct in his
statement, invite the attention of
all concerned to the following: The
tax books for 1903 show that the
: and summary of property assessed
agS Iegated $4,CO3, $40; of this $1CO, 800
was lost to the state and county by
reason of land going to the state for
nonpayment of taxes; the county
revenues derived from the above,
after deducting state land amounted
to $5O,615.96. The books for 1904 are
thus: Total assessment $I53, 129, of
this $115,7 100 was lost by reason of
, land sold for nonpayment of taxes
the taxes now due the county from
the above is $51, 55O.95. 1t will be
seen that land sold and lost to the
state in 1908 and 1904 was nearly
equal-one offsetting the other and
cuts no figure. OF the increase of
1904 over that of 1908 about S119, 900
came from Ocala by reason of the
boards action in the equalization.
Now, subtract the total assessment of
1908 from that of 1904; then the S119,-
600, result of the difference, and you
will see that the assessor was correct
in his statement to the board; that
the the total assessment of 1901 ex-
ceeded that of 1908 500, 900, or more.
Upon investigation find that this in
crease is not altogether due to raise
in assessment of property outside of
Ocala, but in part to new proper 0y
that was notin sight in 1903 and part
from land found by the assessor from
