TAX COMMISSION
REPORT UNFAIR
JOHN NAGEL.
Property in Detroit Assessed at
Practically Full Value, Declares
Detroit Official.
JOHN NAGEL.

THE state tax commissions report
Tor Wayne county, showing that the
county Is assessed for only 81 pei
cent OF its real value. Is unfair as faI
as the city OF Detroit is concerned
said Assessor John Nagel, Wednes
day.
II don't know how the assessments
run In the country districts. but &c
know that property in many sections
or Detroit is assessed up to practical
ly its full value, and there are in
stances where II Ia assessed at more
than 100 per cent. and some reduc
tions will have to be made. The re
port is unfair for another reason. The
commissioners. In making their in
vestigations here, went over the as.
sessments OF two years ago, SO the
report does not take into account the
changes that have been made since
then. The commission should no,
lose sight of the fact. either. that this
city will suffer more than any other
part of the state next year as result
OF the passage Of the new mortgage
tax law. providing for recording fee.
which goes to the state and county.
We Will lose about $10,000,000 OF as
sessed valuation right there"
Although Assessor Nagel has been
back for more than q week now, no
meeting Of the board has been called
meeting OF the board has been called
for the purpose of opportioning the
districts for the coming year. Two
or three times a date has been tenta-
lively set. but the meeting has always
been postponed. 1t Is now announced
that II will take place next Monday
or Tuesday. 1t is certain that there
will be a dispute over the central dis.
trict. Assessor Nagel put in two
years on the west side, one on the
east, and now feels that he Is entitled
to the central district, which Asses
sor Plass also claims. on the ground
that II has been the policy to give this
district to one man two years in sue
cession. He points out that Assessor
Doran had the central district two
successive years.

LIMIT ON BANK ASSETS.
Not Available As Securities For Pos
tai Savings Deposits.

LANSING, Mich, Aug. 23.--In an
opinion rendered today, Attorney
General Kuhn holds that the state
banks of Michigan must not pledge
their assets as securities for postal
savings deposits and 1t is pointed out
here that the ruling of the states
legal department will give the nation
al repositories a decided advantage
over the state banks.
The federal act, creating the pos
tai savings bank calls for security
in public bonds, and 1t has been a
question IN the mind of Banking Com
missioner Doyle for several months
whether or not state banks would be
allowed to pledge municipal bonds
as securities for postal savings de-
posits. Inasmuch as the Michigan
statute provides that no bank shall
rive q preference to any depositor
or creditor by using the assets as
collateral security, Acknowledgement
Kuhn Is OF the opinion that should
q state hank put up It's municipal
bonds as security for postal savings
deposits, the institution would be u.s.
ing a portion of assets for this pur-
pose and should the state bank fail,
the postal savings depositors would
be given preference over the de-
positors of the state bank.
"The opinion Of Attorney General
Kuhn clearly defines the law and his
opinion will be followed said Com
missioner f. II. Doyle. II trust that
the government will see It's way clear
to accept security or personal bonds,
instead of the municipal bonds as
now required. The pledged securi-
ties out now will be recalled"
