or one possessed of home of tliosi-
sand dollars value, is assessed at the
fullest limit and must pay the taxes fixed
BY the assessment. while the man who
has twenty-five or fifty or a hundred
thousand dollars or more of property
upon which is realized from eight to
twenty per cent, is probably assessed at
. valuation Of thirty-three OF Fifty per
cent. There IS also class whose wealth
