LETTER OF BENNETT

Document Making Charges of Discrimination in Tax As

4 last several years II is admitted that
| there are a number of objections to the
| triennial assessment, many OF Whlcn
would be obviated by an annual assess
ment." ..
The Commissioners have not yet re-

Mr.. Bennett said were preferred Win
| the President.
Admits Inequalities Exist.
l. That Inequalities exist in the assess
! ment of real estate in the District OF
Columbia is admitted by Assessor w.
p. Richards. No system, said the as
SCISSOR today, has yet been devised
which will entirely eliminate these IN
equalities; but it is believed that much
better results would be obtained by an
annual assessment.
THE following are some of the objec-
tions against the present method OF
triennial assessments" said Mr.. Rich
ards
First, that with the force allowed by
law 1t is impossible to cover the ground
within the time designated and give
thorough and exhaustive study to the
real estate values.
Second, the same men who make
the initial review assessment SIT on tie
board of review, and at times consul
tuIe a DldJOTlIy lIldL ~
there is not the appearance OF an uh-
biased hearing to appealing property
owners.
Remedy Is Suggested.
"The remedy suggested to overcome
these objections would be first. 10 nave
the city divided into three or more sec
tions with two assistant assessors Tor
each section; second, TO have a board OF
review consisting Of the Assessor and
two deputy assessors, the first deputy
to have supervision over real estate
assessments, and the second deputy 10
have charge of personal assessments
third, the board of review to nave no
mart in the initial assessment except
IN furnish the assistant assessors with
all data relative to sales. transfers;
building operations and subdlvlslohs' ana
TO supervise the work; fourth. that the
assessment shall be made each year TOT
the entire District OF Columpla' anu Una. lLlat
personal notice shall be given OF every
change in the assessment; nfth. that
there shall be a complete ana accurate
record as to prices paid FOR all real es-
tate, and that these records shouid be
under the care OF the Assessor ana inc
two DEPUTY assessors.
Would Equalize Assessments.
at is believed that the remedy sug-
pested will tend to a nearer equallza-
tion of real estate assessments 10 the
advantage of both the office and the
property holder. ard that the taxpayer
will feel that he is more fairly dealt
with whose ideas are in no way in
cluded in the original or tentative as
sessments."
Apneals for the last triennial assess
ment of real estate, which was com
pleted recently, are now being hearn
| by the Board OF Review which VIII
hold daily sessions until the first Mon

FARMERS ARE SATISFIED.
Some Of Them Do Not Favor Proposed
Changes in Hancock Township.

That the sentiment i'm Hancock
township is not all i'm favor of having
the township attached To one of the adj
iacent townships is apparent from
comments made by residents of the
Salo district. some of the farmers from
that section visiting Hancock express
ing themselves as being decidedly OPP
posed to the proposed change. The
township is fifty years old this month.
and during that period has managed
to get along as an independent town
ship.
True, about eight years or so ago the
village of Hancock was detached from
the township when the city became
incorporated. but i'm the time that has
passed since then. the taxpayers OF
Hancock township. as stated by one of
the DIRECTORS, have not been so very
hard pressed to take care of township
affairs, in spite of the small popula-
ton. The finances are reported to be
in excellent shape. roads have been i'm
proved. and in the opinion of those
whose ideas are voiced by the farmer
referred to. there is no desire on the
part of many 10 have the township
lose its independent existence through
merging with adjoining townships.

Hancock Department
MAY EXTEND
ENDOWMENT
BURNS RECEIVES
PROPOSITION RELATIVE TO
ENDOWED BED FOR
L. o. 7. M. M.

Mrs. Frances Burns of st. Louis,
great lady commander of the order of
Ladies OF the Modern Maccabees. left
this morning for Marquette, after a
two days visit to Hancock and Hough-
ton. The main purpose of Mrs. Burns
visit was TO confer with the local COM
mittee in charge of the endowed bed
for Lady Maccabees at st. Josephs
hospital, and with the sisters at the
rlod of endowment, which was made
originally for one year only. She was
also present at meeting of the
Houghton hive of the Maccabees Mon,
day evening.
Mrs Burns was seen by News rep
resentative at the Douglass house and
stated that she had received a propo-
sition from those in charge of the hos
pital, which would be submitted to
meeting of the board of managers
having charge of this department i'm
Port Huron next week. Mrs. Burns is
but one of seven ladies constituting
this board and did not feel that she
would be justified in saying that the
proposition would be accepted, but the
probabilities are that ii will, as IL
seems most satisfactory. Mother La
goria, the superior of the hospital, be-
ing i'm retreat at the present time,
could not be seen by Mrs. Burns re-
garding the matter but had left with
those i'm charge clear instructions as
to what should be done. DR.. Holden,
great hive physician, who was ex-
pected to accompany Mrs. Burns, did
not come.
Speaking of the st. Joseph's hospi-
tai Mrs. Burns said:
Your hospital in Hancock is a mag
nificent institution, splenddly equip
ped and beautifully situated. The
management of the hospital by the
sisters of st. Joseph is deserving of
the greatest praise and l cannot speak
too highly of the aid given by DR.. f. r.
Abrams, the physician in charge of the
Maccabees bed. Since it's establish
cupied by nineteen patients, some OF
them undergoing major operations. and
am highly pleased with the results
shown"
Mrs. Burns also spoke warmly in
praise OF the new odd Fellows tenn
pie in Houghton, saying 1T is a credit
g. the village and To the odd Fellows,
and should be an object of great pride
to the community. 1t is a beautiful
addition to the prominent structures of
the place and l cannot help but COM
ment i'm this connection upon the great
number of improvements which | see
each time ! visit the copper country"
Mrs. Burns will be present at a
meeting in Marquette this evening in
observance of the twenty fifth ami
versary of the founding of the Ladies
OF the Modern Maccabees which oc-
ours today. but which the copper
country lodges will pass without spe-
cial recognition on account of the an
niversary falling at the same time as

Purdue Basketball Five Have Dis
banded for Season.

Purdue will not play any post

makers were crippled by sickness.
Purdue beat Chicago twice, Indiana
twice and Northwestern twice. Pur-
