liseNents3 --e+..-' ..,.sa.ss sssss
Tine action of The Acting lre asurer
in suspepding the employee IN 4ues-
Ition requires an indispe sable ampi-
Ifcat:on. As the author. so his work.
In the same manner and in the same
| form should be treated his planillas.
Any other method Of procedure
would be- insufficient under the exiS-
Ting circumstances to calm the excite
ment caused by the episode ct Friday
and to conquer the panic now reigning
among the proprietors.
They have determined to resort to
ldrastic measures.
On the frsto August they will hold
meeting. the object Of which is to
Fdcciare false and unj just ali the asses
sments lately made and to take the
necessary STEPS to prevent the consul
mmation of the absurdity Of applying
to the properties Of San uan double.
triple, and in some instances ten times
the value of former assessments. .i72
What ha; been done is an abuse
and transgression of the law.
At last the proprietorS have decided
to put sto y the unjust treatment
|of the government and 70 oppose them
selves 70 srch lamentable occurrences
as those which were discovered On
Friday.
The administration has made
grave mistake in pursuing policy by
which it has utilized the services Of
worthless assessors su h as the
who has created the panic in San Juan
and it needs to vindicate itself before
public opinion.
The Assembly of Proprietorg will
resort every means in order that
the actual persecution Of which they
are the victinS--carr1ed on by othr1als
of most questionable competency-shall
cease.
The proprietors will not pay accord
ing to the absurd appraisements made.
They can summon TO their aid article
2oe # the political code now in force
which obliges the assessors TO S~lHf
end assess tAe Pyoafrtg 0f each f<rs0m
at ifs real RnG tYae Hgazk<t 0alae.
This provision of the law is man
datofy, and Furthermore, II is corroo-
grated by article 81 Of the same code,
which, treating of the fixing OF the
value Of properties say; tASf EACH 'AaH
be assessed at sts tyHe markft sa|He
without taxing anto account a .teyee@
sale.
The sole means it has Of doing this
lis to admit the claims Of all those who
have been injured. in other words all
the tax payers.
Thus it is, if it heeds the protests
which it is expected the assembly to
be convened on August first will make,
ATTENDING to the reclamatlons-which
are all just-in not permitting the da-
mage which has already been suffered
by the proprietors to increase, the
Treasury Department could free itself
from the responsibility which has
been placed upon it by the idiotlc
conduct of the suspended employee.
BoletiÌn mercantil de Puerto Rico. (San Juan, P.R.) 18??-1918, 1905-07-31

There has existed and still exists a
panic among the taxpayers caused by
the increase in the appra isement OF
properties.
Not once, nor a hundred, but thou
sand times we have commented on the
extraordinary logic which has produc
d such an UNIV arranted increase in
the valuation.
Where hes the cause the reason
for the alb. urd increase in the valus
of properties from government stand
point and for the purposes Of taxation
unless there is seen in the business
life an improvement in conditions
which warrants such an augmentation
in values7
On the contrary. that which causes
the reigning panic is the absolute off
ference between tficial valuation and
the value of property in the market.
How explain this discrepancy vi
ihout condemning the stupid policy
Of the government
Is not this the road which leads to
liquidstion7
All the distrust, all the fears have
been justified in the presence Of the
threats ofsthe insular treasury.
From the Office of the insular trea
sury has gone forth claw each time
more terrible. threatnipg the country
with bankruptcy and the inevitable
epiloaue { the forced sale.
Since Friday there appears to be
observed relative conf ience which
has its origin in the discovery of the
inc impotence of an employee, an as
SCISSOR whose unfitcess has been clear
ly and unmistak.b!y demonstrated.
On that day the employee who has
caused such panic among the taxpa
yers was susps ndcd from his position
in the Treasury Department..
The indignation OF the Chief could
not be restrained when he saw the
condition of this employee.
And judging by ths work done
by this useless official, it is natural
to suppose that when he made
some Of his extraordinary appraise
ments that he was in the same condi
tion as he appears to have been on
Friday, W tn his brain obscured by the
fumes Of alcohol with his views be-
logged from its effects, or. according
to the declaration of the interested
party, that he was Suffering from ner-
vous pertnrbatic rs. This state ofthings
should rende:.. l,4gal ~ the appra;se
meets made by this employee which
>how uaqu+siiona bly, that it was the
work Of one demented, if it were not
that of a fool.
Work of more worthlessness and
irresponslbility it would impossible to
see.
On this is founded the hopes of the
ta xpayers; because it isnot possible to
believe that the Ire tsury Depart
ments would accept the appraise
ments made by smplo, ee who off
ers such a lamentable example of de
gradation and unfttness for any emp
loyment in the public service.
What more does the government
require in order to be convinced of
