Frederick-Th State Tax Commits
sion, through Alfred W. Gaver, Super
visor OF County Taxes, filed a petition
with the County Commissioners notify
ing them that the State Commission
had appealed from their decision not
to order a reassessment on certain
properties. and, in effect, would con.
duct the reassessment over the heads
OF the county officials. The petition
stated that assessments against nearly
1000 properties are improper and IN.
equal and do not reflect the value Of
such properties without looking to an
enforced sale This means that the
State Tax Commission will come to
this city and readtust the assessment
without the aid of the county officials.
The County Commissioners declare
they will fight the reassessment.
The County Commissioners claim
that the properties upon which a new
assessment is asked changed hands
during the war, when sales were made
at unusual and inflated values. They
hold that in most instances the prices
we're above the normal and that an
assessment based on these sales would
be unjust and unfair. They point out
that a complete new reassessment
was made in this county under the di.
rection Of the State Commission about
two years ago and that this county
with few exceptions has higher tax
assessment than any other in the
State. The Commissioners have been
expecting a move on the part of the

FUTURITY
Y, II X

If you lift the Futures mantle,
3 Where the western sky is red,
What will you find beneath it?
Naught but ashes of the dead.
When you've crossed the silent river
Leaving loving hearts to yearn
From the land of no caresses,
Who will wait for your return?
When you've lost the golden treas
ures
Where you tarry just awhile,
Tears cannot restore them to you
For the dead will never smile.
Those you've frozen with your glances
Those whose lives you've filled with
tears
Win return to haunt you living
Through the cycles Of Times years.
