new ASSESSMENT
LAW SLIGGESIEH
ss hllIHll(
We5dfing Bill Aftef The
New York Law

At joint meeting OF the legislative
and municipal committees Of the Board
Of Trade in the Equitable Building last
evening a proposed bill to amend the
assessment laws on property was dis
cusscd and endorsed. power being given
TO the chairman of the joint committee.
Francis l. dupont TO make the neces-
sary revision OF the bill and cooperate
with any of the members he may deem
necessary. Mr.. DUPONT will incorporate
i'm the bin several suggestions which
were made after the document was
drafted.
The bill which will be presented TO
the Legislature is modelled after the
New York city law of assessing pro-
perty. II provides for an assessment
in accordance with what the property
under ordinary circumstances would
sell for and provides that assessments
shall be made on what the property
would be worth unimproved and i'm
proved. The bill also provides that the
clerks sholl prepare lists Of the as
sessne ents SO that persons may he able
TO learn the values In different parts
of the city and that these lists shall
be made out consecutively. instead of
in alphabetical order as at present.
This plan would make it very easy
for persons to make comparisons and
give them the simple opportunity to
ascertain in what proportion their as
.sessment compared with their next door
neighbor. II this bill passes the Legis-
lature the members expressed the hope
that it would lead to the establishing
of an assessment board. TO be comprised
.of perhaps three men who would as
.sess property imparrially. The pres
ent method was unequal and there was
favoritism shown 10 some, the commit
teemen said.
Comptroller Philemma Chandler said
that the Levy Court was now consider
ing a proposition along these lines and
would probably draft a bill 10 be pre-
scented to the Legislature giving the
Levy Court the power to appoint the
assessors.
