due to the able management of pro-

houses have had such a remarkably
successful season.
The Raymond orchestra, which has
been at the house all summer. has been
thoroughly appreciated by the guests.
Ineir many well-chosen selections at

iaVorabiy received and applauded by
the guests. and the many fine concerts
which they have arranged with vocal
as well as instrumental music arc TO
membered with pleasure by all who
have been present on these occasions.

During His Term He Has Un-
covered $4,000, 900 of Sc
questered Property.
MADE 900 ASSESSMENTS
EXPENSE CONNECTED WITH
THE WORK OF PUTTING THIS
PROPERTY ON DUPLICATE
WAS VERY LITTLE

One of the principal reasons for op-
posing the tax ferret business in
Wayne and other counties, has been
that under existing statutes the coun-
ty assessor is empowered and is ex-
pected to look for and list sequester-
ed and omitted taxable property.
The claim has been made that tax
ferrets have facilities at hard by
which they are enabled to locate and
list considerable more sequestcred
property than the assessors could pos
sibly do, and though this is conceded
the fact remains that in Wayne cOun-
ty there has been established a rec
ord under the administration of \.
G.. Compton, county assessor, which
may stand without a parallel in Ir-
diana
County Assessor Compton will re-
tire from public life next Monday and
the record he leaves behind is one of
which the county should be proud but
of which Mr.. Compton with undue
modesty, perhaps, declines to speak
of. The fact remains, however, that
during his term of office he has made
approximately 900 assessments of
sequestered and omitted taxable pro-
perty, the value of which aggregated
between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000.
This property was listed for taxation
and the tax collected and many
thousands of dollars were paid into
the county treasury as a result. The
expense in locating such property
and of listing it for taxation amounted
to scarcely nothing in addition to the
per diem of the assessor. Under the
old law the salary was $3.50 for ev
cry day of actual service. At pre-
sent, however, the salary is $1,000 a
year. Assessor Compton has become
regarded as one of the most thorough
ly posted taxing officers in Indiana
and this fact has been borne out upon
several occasions when called upon to
present matters relative to complex
problems of taxation before the State
gathering of assessors at Indianapo-
lis. Few men who have held offices
in Wayne county retire with more
fatterins record than Mr.. Compton.
