THE APPRAIsENIENT OF REAL
a ESTATE

The Importance of exercising great
care in the election OF land apprais-
trs in Marion muse be apparent to
every property owner and every
tenant, since the question of taxation
and rent hinges SO greatly upon The
work of these men. Not only shouit
the voters be interested In having hfs
own property placed upon the tax du-
plicate ut just valuation, but he
should also be interested in seeing
that the other fellow pays his just
portion of the taxes. With each mar
bearing his just portion of the bur.
den of taxation, the strain will not
come too hard upon any one man and
the city and county will be receiving
the amounts which are necessary to
carry on the business.

years, men who have been acquainted

piece of property in the city. They
were selected from the different walks
of life, so that full board would be
a representative board and the inter-
ests of all of the people would be
safeguarded
