Figures to show that the Districts three

from New York and Philadelphia boards
of assessment which show the Districts
system to be unreasonably awkward In
New York there are seventy-siX assessors
in charge of 5i5. .O94 parcels of land. which.
taken proportionately, means 200 par
cells for each man. In Philadelphia there
are seventy assessors in charge of 4lS,-

One assessor in the District has 5000
parcels of land. In view of this informa-
ton. IL is easy to understand how there
may be some mistakes in assessments
of the District. He urged action by Con-
Gress toward increasing the field force OF
assessors.
