BLOCK MAP WORK
ABOUT READY TO
Be REPORTED ON
Commission Has Little More
Work TO do on VAL
uations.
Several Million Dollars Are
Added.
FOURTH STREET HEART OF CITY

The block map commission, COM
posed of Harry George and George
Emery, is nearing the completion OF
its labors and expects 10 turn over
the last book to City Assessor ]. w.
Orr early next month.
Three books have been finished
and they are now at work on the
fourth and last book, which takes
in all of the property beyond Island
creek in Mechanicsburg and the
southern limits.
According to Commissioner George
Paducah property ranges in value
from so cents to $3.50 per front
foot. The low mark Of so cents
has been struck on the outskirts.
According TO the figures shown on
book, No. /, the northwest corner of
Fourth street and Broadway, occu-
pied by Gilbert's drug store, is the
most valuable piece of property in
the city. II is listed at $3.50 per
front foot.
Book, No. /, includes all proper
ty west from the Ohio river to
Ninth street, between Trimble and
Tennessee streets. Book, No. 2,
takes. in the property west of that
to the city limits and north of Trim
BILE street. That part of the city,
lying south of Tennessee street to
Island creek and west TO the limits
is in book, No. 3; and book, No. 4,
takes in the remainder.
The commission has endeavored
to be accurate in placing the valua-
lion on property. Where large
strips OF ground are not plotted OF
into lots the commission figures by
acres. Where the lots are plotted
the figures are made by the front
feet.
A lower TAX rate is probable with
the enormous increase in this
years assessment and is being talk
ed of in municipal circles. There
will be a big gain in real property
and some in personal. They have
added $4,000 worth of personal
property. which was never herto-
fore assessed. This was done after
he assessment was practically COM
)leted in November. However,
here has been a slump in personal
property formerly listed.
With the completion of the last
book next month 1t will be turned
over to Mr.. Orr and the new board
of equalization will meet in Janu-
airy to figure up the totals. The
grand total of the 1909 assessment
was $11,233,3S9. 1t is believed II
will be 100000 to $S,0OO,O 900
more this year, thanks to the block
map.
Each book is indexed and proper
ty can be located in an instant.
The name of the owners is con-
tanned on each plot. In red ink is
written the valuation placed on the
ground. and the valuation on the
building is placed underneath in
green ink. The totals are given in
blue ink.
