Just few weeks aSo The Times Dis

3euualities OF the taxation system IN
Virginia, or more properly speaking, the
Inequalities of the assessment system. AS
was shown at the Same time in an edito-
rial based on the local story, the tax
law is all right. but the trouble comes
in the way that property. both real and

or of the revenue IN the State seems
to have different idea OF his duties. and
