Mayor Yeiser Interested in
Equalization.
Tax Book Supervisors Must Devote
All Time Necessary TO Hon
est Valuation.
MAY RETAIN PRESENT BOARD

Indications are that Mayor Yei-
ser will reorganize his board of tax
book supervisors some time this
week. He declines to say whether
the present board will be reappolnt-
ed or whether changes will be made.
In fact, he said he had not complete
ly made up his mind and he will
not make any statement until he has
the composition of the board ready
for public announcement. There is
more than a possibility that the pres
ent board will be retained in its en-
tirety.
From what can be learned, 1t
seems that the mayor intends to Sc
cure a board that will devote all the
time to equalizing the assessment
that he thinks is necessary. He Is
intent on getting a thorough over
hauling of tax values. In four years
conditions have so changed, that
property heretofore considered
drug on the market, has become the
feature of real estate transactions.
and the business district has extend
ed while other sections have felt
more or less depression or imitation
in value.
1t is probable that an increase of
proportions in the total
will be found when the
board concludes its labors.
