TAX ASSESSMENT
MUST Be UN|F ORM
Auditor Moore Tells Revenue
Commissioners Books Will
Be Closely Scrutinized.

Detailed instructions for the 1914 as
sessment of property in Virginia were
sent yesterday by State Auditor G. Lee
Moore TO the commissioners Of revenue
OF all the counties. The sixteen-pagc
circular is fun of information for the
proper assessment Of real and personal
property. and contains n firm warning
OF grand jury Investigations in coun-
ties where the returns arc not found
to be proportionate with those of other
counties.
The assessments Of personal prop
erty and incomes by commissioners In
1919 show much more efficient and
thorough work than those In previous
years" says Mr. Moore in the circular.
"A few of the commissioners have not
been active and energetic In tho dis
charge Of their duties respecting the
assessment of personal property and
incomes. but ] trust those. stimulated
by the action and efforts of n large
majority of commissi toner's, Will this
year do their work more efficiently. and
1 believe they will.
"Of course, the courts should, and ]
believe WILL in ovcry county and city
of the State, see that the mandatory
laws requiring grand jury investiga-
lions are informed. 1t is confidently
expected that the Taxpayers Will, in
view of the action of this Legislature.
fully disclose and report for taxation
their money, so that when the grand
juries examine the books containing the
assessments there will he few. IL any,
corrections or prosecutions to be had.
THE Constitution and laws require
assessed values TO be uniform: hereto
fore they have not been so assessed.

of the same county without reason.
Proper assessment against every
taxpayer will produce very largely In
creased assessed values, resulting in
materially reduced rates OF levies; pos

ton of the new State tax on money
