THE RULE OF ASSESSMENT.

The Bedford Democrat is SUI
,.cSrring ON the correct and incor-
rect manner of assessing proPGII'
for taxation. 1t quoles Judge t'en,
S Blair, who formerly preslueu

Haair would attract investors anu

Il is the contention OF the Demo
..-at that the market value Oh pro-
nerty is its investment value, OF rem

sesessment on that basis the assesso

Injustice of the present system con

This is subject of general an
