council at its second meeting passed
ordinances lowering the price of gas

that of finance. The mayor and his

REPORT COMPLETED
For Up. To- Date Asss ssmeni in MaD
land.


The State Tax Commission appoint
ed BY Governor Goldsborough unGer
authority of an act passed by the last
lie gislature has completed its report,
which will be .ady for distribution
in a few days.
Many tax questions affecting Mary
land are discussed in this report. The
laws Of other states are frequently
referred TO and citel. The commits.
sion emphasizes and recommends as
the basic need Of this State the cres-
tion ofssa permanent State tax COM
mission, which shall have in charge
the assessment Of property in every
county of the state and Baltimore
city.
This report points out the diff
culties Of state resss sJsment as here
tofore conducted and the difficulty in
having assessments made with JUS
tice to owners having property in diff
ferent parts OF the state. The lack Of
training advice on the part of local
or district assessors, the lack Of
knowledge on the part Of assessors 10
ratio OF valuation assessed, AND the
present inequalities throughout the
state are set out a detailed state
ment of every eoafty made for an
actual investigate
The comuirsior also shows in
this report that much revenue is
lost TO the stalr ana to the local
communities also by reason of the
fact that propertse- that have in
creased in laIus ats allowed 10 re
main on the asses, me Mt books at
the valuation placed at resssess-
ment. Instead of gradual increase
in assessed vsuation the increase for
tax purposes actually gets on the
books at time of Re assessment, while
the change in vsluation is gradual.
This change should be distributed
over the perioc of years.
This is the Baltimore plan, and has
worked very successfully. The COM
mission believes that the same plan
can be applied with success through
out the state and that a state board
could equalizelconditions. Copies of
the report can be obtained by apph-
cation TO the secretary of the commits
