MADE AN ADDRESS

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK, Del, Dec. 12.-Taxpay-
ers of Newark at a meeting last
night held in the Town Council
rooms, went on record as being op-
posed to the proposed system Of the
Levy Court calling on property own
ers to furnish the value Of their own
properties for county assessment pur-
poses. Alfred 3. Moore, a prominent
real estate agent Of Wilmington and
member of the Chamber of Commerce
Of that city, made an interesting ad
dress before the meeting on the sub
ject and also read an opinion OF Will
liam S. Hilles, to the Chamber of
Commerce, I'm which the attorney
stated that he could find nothing in
the law that authorized the assessor
TO require of the owner a statement
of value placed upon property by the
owner
Mr.. Moore, in his remarks, told how
well the present assessment in Will
mington has worked out and stated
that movement is on foot 20 have
bill presented to the next Legislature

payers present seemed to favor the
presentation of such a bill and will
probably give il their support At
the conclusion OF the meeting il was
made plain that under the require

would have to fiji in the blanks Civ
ing details as to their properties such
as location. size. etc. ard they were
advised to do so for the benefit OF the
assessor. AT the same time il was
suggested that the taxpayers should
fight the proposition to make them
place a value on their own property
on these blanks.
While The attendance was fairly rep.
resentative one the small number who
attended was disappointment to many
who were interested II has been claim
ed That many of the larger properties
in Newark have beer assessed low for
county purposes for many vears There
had been mary objections made on the
streets t. the proposed assessment anil
consequently a reeord attendance was
expected at this town meeting.
George ". Griffin. q local contractor
and builder. presided at The meeting and
explained its purposes. He referred "a
the position that George +. Ferguson
The assessor for White Clay Creek hon,
dred is in relative to tho new assess-
ment. lie explained that in his opinion
Mr.. Ferguson no doubt wanted TO make
on equitable and just assessment. IT,
then referred to the action of the Levy
Court in insisting that the assessors
make the assessment on the basis Of Tho
true value Of the property and that UNI
less some redress is found Mr.. Fergu-Nr
