EDcEMoNT's MOVE

E DGEMONT'S people have decided to devote
II the time Of the next meeting Of their new civic
organization to consideration Of the possibilities Of
establishing village government in their community.
There is some sentiment among them in favor Of be-
coming part Of the city Of Faimont and doubtless
this will figure somewhat in the discussion
If the city Of Fairmont was not in the habit Of
drifting when 1t comes to such matters this Edgemont
meeting would be turned into the actual beginning Of
the next important municipal advance which will con-
sist Of new frame Of government and logical extern
sions Of the corporation boundaries.
There has been much tnkering with the Fairmont
charter, but there never has been carefully worked
out effort OF give the city the kind Of government
that il ought to have. 1t will take monhs study
upon the part Of the best talent the city holds to bring
that about and that work ought to be going on right
now so that by the time the next session Of the egs-
lature around we shall not only have the draft
Of new charter but an educated and united public
opinion behind it
If there was a certainty that such program is
going to be put through the probabilities are that the
people Of Edgemont would feel that their best interest
would be served by waiting AT all events it is to be
hoped that such possibility will be given due con-
sideradon next Friday night
Meanwhile would it not be good idea for the
directors of the Chamber of Commerce to set in
motion a movement for rational new charter and
municpaNe which not only the people Of the
city proper but of all the suburbs could work to1

REFUSING TAX ASSESSMENTS

HERE'S whole lot in that suggestion of
County Assessor Springer that the city ought
to give him some assistance in his proposed general re-
the tax valuations which the community best
mind should null over carefully.
IheYery foundation Of healthy municipal finances
is far and absolutely equal assessment Even with
out making any increase in the standard of valuations
in tbs city the borrowing power could be increased
materially simply by equalizing valuations
This IS q matter in which every property owner
is vitality interested and perhaps the best way in which
the appeal aid made by the county assessor could
be complied with would be for the City Directors to
organize volunteer band Of men familiar with realty
values m Fairmont to go over the city assessments,
proPsf BY properly, with the assessor and help him
fir valuation.
Perhaps in carrying out such project the city
directors would find it best to act in cooperation with
Tie Chamber Of Commerce Then when the values have
been agreed upon and they have been accepted by
the assessor the whole assessmen should be published
for thsppipose Of permitting the broadest possible
compatsonB BY the taxpayers Of the results
Such method Of going about this detail Of the
city finances would involve lot of trouble for some
Of tie busiest men in the community and also some
little expsnse which either the city treasury or the
treasury ti.e Chamber of Commerce would have to
provide for but it would produce feeling Of conf
denes mSthesGW gvemment which would be worth
great m many ways.
