Members of the Marion County
budget commission have made
rough estimate Of the increase In
per.2ifal property returns and the re-
turns on buildings. Personal prop
erty has been increased from two to
six and one-quarter millions Of dol
lars in the city, while the number of
new buildings in the city have been
appraised at a quarter Of a million
dollars.
An official of the budget commits
sion stated this morning that both
the personal property and the new
building valuations would be raised
by the Board Of Review. as the city
will be short of funds under the one
per cent. tax measure, but IL cannot
be told how much that shortage will

Journal contains the following in
terestng review Of the tax situation
In some Ohio counties:
emphasizing the statement that
real estate has been placed on the
tax duplicate at It's true value in
money and that public utilities and
bank shares, yet TO be passed on,
will be assessed the same way, the
state tax commission yesterday is
sued a letter to county boards Of
equalization and city boards of re-
view, insisting that personal prop
erty be dealt with In like manner and
stating that officials who do not care
to do their full duty In this direction
should resign and permit others TO
take their offices.
"The statement AYERS that county
auditors will afsess bank stock at its
true value in money and that the tax
commission itself will see that public
utilities are assessed on the same
basis.
MANY individuals copartnerships
and associations have voluntarily
made full, honest returns TO the per-
sonal property assessors, but there
are others who have made insufficient
returns or none at all. as in the past.
Such conduct. while always reprehen-
sible, is peculiarly so at this time
and Is evidence of such bad citizen
ship. not 20 characterize II more
harshly, as entities such persons to
no leniency whatever at the hands of
your board" says the commission's
letter. Continuing, the letter reads:
"In former years. when other class

percentage of the true value, such
boards as yours may have been justi-
fed I'm equalizlng personal property In
the same way, but such conditions no

unjust burden is thereby imposed up

stock and public utilities, which they
should not bear, and Of these the
small home owners and farmers VIII
be the greatest sufferers.
"It may be said that If county and
