For Up.TO-DatG Assessment
in Maryland.

The State Tax Commission appointed
by Governor Goldsborough under author
ity of an act passed by the last legisla-
ture has completed It's report. which will
be ready for distribution in few Gays.
Many tax questions affecting Maryland
are discussed in this report The laws
of other states are frequently referred
to and cited. The Commission empha-
sizes and recommends as the basic need
of this state the creation Of a permanent
state tax commission, which shall have
in charge the assessment of property in
every county Of the state and Baltimore
city. This report points out the diff
ficuIties of state reassessment as hereto
fore conducted and the difficulty in hay-
ing assessments made with justice to
owners having property in different
parts Of the state,
The lack Of training and advice on the
part of local or district assessors. the
lack of knowledge on the part Of asses
NOTS III TdLlN "a AAfAANANtA aocNooGas otth
the present inequalities throughout the
state are set out in detailed statement
of every county made from an actual in
vestigation The commission also shows
in this report that much revenue is lost
to the state and to the local commune
ties also by reason of the fact that prop
critics that have increased in value are
allowed to remain on the assessment
books at the valuation placed at the re-
assessment Instead Of gradual in
crease in assessed valuation the increase
for taN purposes actually gets on the
books 81 time OF reassessrnent, while the
change Ia value is gradual. This change
should be distributed over the period of
years. This is the Baltimore plan and
has work ed very successfully. The COM
mission believes that the same plan can
be applied with success throughout the
state and that a state board could equal
ize conditions.
Copies Of the report can be obtained
