him to reply to the following:

issues a statement on the excellent
conduct of his Office, let him explain
for us the assessment placed by him
and his colleagues on the Columbus
Memorial Building property, at the

Here is a frontage of 100 feet on
State street, 80 feet deep. 1t was sold
by the Columbus Safety Deposit
Company, Henry Furber, president,
to Julius Rosenwald, on March IL,
1912. The price paid was $3.50, 900.
When the sale was made descrip-
ton of the property and the price,
$2,75O,OOO, were all clearly stated in
the current newspapers.
"The valuation of this property
now on the DOCKS is S1,5Jz,OU1 Tor
the land and $549, 999 for the build
ing. The total valuation fixed by the
Board of Review is therefore $2,142,-
900.
Exactly $6O8,OOO of value escapes
taxes.
"The valuation of the Board Of
Review was short $685. 900 on prop
erty which had it's market value pub
icly fixed at $2,750,OO0.
"This case is only one of hundreds.
1t is specimen of a situation no tax
