Commissioners Allow Taxpayers to
Make Own Assessment.

Passaic, N J., Aug. 21.-The city
commission which went into Office here
a year ago has won q handsome profit
for the city by practically permitting
large property owners to tax them
selves. Insisting that the values on
the tax rolls in previous years had
been. too low, the commission this year
asked the mill owners to furnish in
ventories of their own property.
In most cases the owners gave esti-
mates greatly in advance of the figures
at which their property had been pre-
viously assessed. One company volun-
tarilv raised its assessment from $780,
600 to 81 500, 900. The net gain obtain
ed by this method over the assessment
figures of 1911 was IS, 100000.
