BURRIS PUTS
IN WORDS FOR
ASSESSMENT
Defends Action Of Levy Court
in Raising Valuations in
Wilmington
THINKS EXPERTS SHOULD
AGREE ON NEW FIGURES

When Levy Court Commissioner
Samuel l.. Burris was asked today
about the dissatisfaction and protest
of members OF the Real Estate Brok-
ers' Association against the increas-
ed county assessments in Whining
ton. he said
The Real Estate men have been
running things for years The as
SCISSORS of the county have been PLAY
ing politics at the expense of New
Castle county. The good fellow who
ignores his duty and fails to make a
proper assessment is going to crc1te
a new arrangement. If God gives ne
life and health | will go to the next
Legislature and try to get a law pass
ed to do away with these assessors
and let MS appoint experts. The city
Is not burdened and will not be bur-
dened but must pay its share. The
little fellow has been assessed at full
value and the big fellow escapes with
pittance The big fellows paid moth
ing in proportion to the little fellows
who paid all the taxes.
For ten years / have been trying
to get fair assessment and propose
10 stick to the work until my last day
in the Levy Court. When ! came in
here found the assessors had sim
ply bluffed at the assessment and
mad four experts appointed. They
knew the value of real estate. They
took everything into consideration in
GLIDING location They helped us at
reaching a fair assessment and then
came a kick. No one has been un-
fairly treated. There may have been
mistakes made but every property
needs to pay its share.
Nov in the country districts we
need experts. The $1,000 an acre in
Brandywine and the 81 an acre in
Blackbird need experts to assess II.
The farm buildings in the county
need TO be taxed and every one wants
TO be fair. We have thousands of
properties not assessed and the real
genuine way is to pick two men for
city and two for the county I'm the
month of May and find out the prop
critics and value.
Now there is another thing about
this affair The Democratic and Re
publican parties are not to be saddled
with it because the whole burden
comes on my shoulders ! am willing
TO take the blame and when we get
down to a 40 cent tax rate let the
credit come. New Castle county, in
Guiding Wilmington is worth $780,
100000 or more and at a two-thirds
value we can get a fair assessment
But the rural hundreds are assessed
too low and part of Wilmington is toe
low. But II will all come out right
when we pay our share Of the taxes.
