DON'T ENTHUSE
OVER MAYORS PLAN
ASSESSORS SAY THAT REVAlUA-
TON OF PROPERTY ISN'T
NECESSARY.

Mayor Breitmeyer's suggestion IN
his inaugural message of a complete
reassessment Of property in Detroit
does not find echoing applause In the
assessors office. The three members
OF the board are convinced that they
are doing pretty well In the way OF
coualiZing taxation over the real eS-
tate OF the city In fact. a special ef-
fort has been made this year 10 equal
lie values as between sections OF the
city.
Assessor Nagel, who has the west
ern district. has paid good deal OF
attention to large tracts of land which
have lain idle for years, being held FOR
Investment purposes. These tracts OF
vacant land. he contends. are detri-
ment to the city in that they discour-
age building beyond their boundaries
10 some extent and diminish the value
OF adjoining property.
He has, therefore, gone after these
big tracts on system of assessing
by the square foot rather than by the
foot and has raised the assessment so
that there III likely 10 be'a big fracas
when the assessments are made
known. The tendency of these increas-
ed assessments will be to force this
property on the market by making 1t
expensive 10 keep IL idle after-it has
been equalized with the adjoining i'm
proved property.
