TO CHANGE ASSESSMENT DATE

assessor William Hanke has had pre-.
pared and will have introduced into
me Legislature a bill changing the
time OF assessment in Ohio county
from April LIST to January LIST.
This Dill has met the approval of
all OF the county officials. and OF
others who are familiar with the
work OF the assessment in this
county. According to the general
law. provision is made for a sufficient
amount Of assistance in the smaller
counties. to enable the work OF as.
sessment TO be done between April
LIST and October LIST. In a county Of
thirty thousand population or more.
four assistants are allowed. Ohio
county with a population OF nearly
sixty thousand is allowed only the
number OF assistants given 10 a conn.

thousand. The assessors not only

mere collection OF the poll tax from
fourteen to fifteen thousand voters is
In itself a tremendous task If thor
oughly and carefully performed. Coun.
" officials agree that the period
from April list to October LIST is
entirely too short to allow the asses
sor. with four assistants, to do the
work that is required OF him. The
remedy is to be found in one or two
propositions.
Either advance the date of assess
ment from April LIST TO January LIST.
thus giving nine months for the
work, or increase the number of as
sistants allowed under the law.
Assessor Hanke does not desire to
increase the expense OF Ohio county,
or to add to the number of employees
In the assessors Office. Ho does
wish, however. more time in which
to do the work allotted TO him. This
is. therefore. the intent OF the bill
which will be presented TO the Legis.
lature. State officials who are famil.
