Personally I am not kicking at high taxes" says J. R. Williams, land believe we should stand still other raises.
 l am as opposed to spending any more money than I can help as we'll as any man, but I believe that our as- sessments have been far, far below the stated 60 per cent of the real valuation.
 For instance, have a certain piece of property that was raised just 100 per cent over the valuation for last year. Yet I sold it last week for nearly half as much again as the increased valuation. It is for this reason that I believe that we should take the raises as they come and not kick. We should realize that the state and city gov e-nment and city government feels the high cost of everything as well as each of us."

Not Surprising.

'Detroits jump to the fourth place among American cities was not sur prising to me-" says K. G. Soloman, local automobile man.
 Detroit is primarily an automobile manufacturing district. The automo- bile business has grown tremendously fer the past ten years and Detroit has grown with it's premier industry. There is no prospect for a decrease in the use of cars, ana Tor that reason would not be surprised to hear of De- troit outstripping Philadelphia and reaching third place by 19s0."

 The question was submitted to the city commission almost week ago,
