MORE MTX-UPS
In ASSESSMENTS
County Treasurer Bothered by
Failure to Properly AS
SeSS Properties

During the past few days County
Treasurer Robert M. Burns has had
some more trying experiences. Espcci-
ally was this true to-day when prop
erty owners came in 90 enter com-
plaint regarding the collection of
taxes. The trouble was caused by
errors IN the assessment. Some prop
critics appear on the books four times
in the names OF as many owners.
Last August a man paid taxes on
property assessed at over 100000 When
he called this morning 20 collect his
rent from an east side tenant he found
that the money was attached by tho
receiver Of taxes. The man who all
ready paid the taxes last year on this
property came 10 the Office OF the re-
ceiver of taxes and had his deed as
we'll as tax receipts since 1870 for tho
property II was the same old story
OF duplicated assessment being made.
County Treasurer Burns said that the
assessors are not paying due attention
to the orders Of the Levy Court. Trans
fers OF property are not followed up,
he says. and conditions might be wores
If the clerks in the treasurer's Office
did not keep in daily touch with the
transfers.
