ASK CHANGE IN
ASSESSMENT Law

frank p. Ewing. assessor for Brandy
wine hundred, complained to the Levy
Court at its meeting yesterday of what he
considered an unsatisfactory law govern
ing property assessment in Brandywine
hundred
Mr.. Ewing said provisions Of the law
made it impossible to make thoroughly
satisfactory assessment Of properties
there. and suggested that the court take
steps TO have new law passed. Mr..
Ewing explained that the present law re-
qures the assessor to be sworn into office
on November 20 and to have his ASSESS
ment on view by January i5 Mr.. Ewing
said this time was not sufficient in which
90 do the work properly. inasmuch as at
that particular season the roads are dif-
fcult OF travel. ten days are required TO
prepare the assessment books, as many as
one hundred letters must be written ask
.ng for information concerning properties.
and a large number Of property transfers
being necessary 70 record All this work,
Mr.. Ewing said, could not be done sat
isfactorily in the time allowed. The court
listened to Mr.. Ewing's explanation with
some interest and then had him reduce
MS statement TO writing that the court
might take up the subject with its attor-
ney with the object OF having a new law
passed as suggested by the assessor. In
according with the request hr. Ewing
submitted the following:
To the Honorable. the members Of the
Levy Court OF New Castle county. Cen
tlemen:
There are conditions found in making
this assessment, which I think l should
report.
The law governing this assessment for
Brandywlne hundred, in my opinion is
not suitable FOR the present day.
While I have made return. I would
feel better satisfied. If 1 had had more
time TO make Investigations, examinations
and comparisons.
feel safe in saying averaged sixteen
hours a day in this work, from the day /
was sworn in. until the day I made my
return.
often left home early in the morning
and driving until late at night without my
meals and without giving my horse any
attention.
I was required TO work late at nights.
Sundays. holidays and use every available
minute.
This law governing this assessment may
have been suitable at the time it was en-
acted when the people often owned hum
dreds OF acres. instead Of building lots,
when it did not require any more time to
assess the one hundred acres than IL does
one-half dozen building lots now.
There are also a great many non-resi-
dents who own property there. which re-
quires considerable correspondence, as
you will see by the number Of letters
have received in reply, everyone Of which
refers to this assessment, besides tele-
phone and telegraph communications.
The season OF the year often retards
! the assessor. The days arc short, the
weather cold and stormy. the roads are in
their worst condition and often blocked
with Sow. and a season OF the year when
the fafmers are away from home. more
than any other time. 1t often requires
many trips to assess the same property
