board that would probably do the best
work, William p. Bancroft suggested
that there be a board Of four assessors
appointed by the mayor at $500 a year
TO oversee the work and make plans,
and that other men be employed to do
the real assessing. He thought the
four under this plan could also sit as a
board Of appeals. Mr.. Bancroft thought
the four assessors should be appointed
for eight years.
Mr.. Kane thought four assessors
should be appointed and given a good
salary, so that they could devote all Of
their time to it and in that way he
was Of the opinion the best work could
be accomplished. Several other men,
bers Of the committee also we're of the
opinion that the suggestion Of Mr..
Kane would be a good one.
The committee finally adopted the
plan providing for the appointment Of
four assessors by the mayor to do all
Of the work Of making the assessment
and council to fix their salary. Two
are to be Democrats and two Republi-
cans. The four assessors and the city
comptroller are to constitute the board
of appeals.
Secretary McCafferty was given au-
thority to hire a typewriter to assist
him in getting the draft in shape, to
