CRISFIELD TO
COLLECT TAXES
Thirty-6ve Property Own
ers Are Summoned to
Face Magistrate
MANY REFUSE TO
PAY ON ASSESSMENT

CRIsFIELD. Nd, Nov. iS-More
han 35 summons were served
on delinquent taxpayers yesterday by
sheriff d. X Lawson, as the result
~ action which Crisfield Is bringing
through It's counsel, Miles and Myers
OF Princess Anne. Suit was insti-
tuted before Justice Of the Peace Ed
gar Jones in the county seat and ap-
pearance OF taxpayers demanded on
Wednesday.
A group OF taxpayers rebelled
against paying what they consider
excessive taxation when the present
city government practically doubled
the valuation of all property in or
der to increase the towns revenue.
The matter was taken in May before
the State Tax Commission, which
ordered that the assessment for 1920
stand as returned by the assessors,
but that a new assessment be made
Immediately for the year 1921. Some
Of the taxpayers. however. have re-
fused to pay taxes on their property,
the value OF which, they declare, is
excessive and unreasonable. Legal
action on the part of the Mayor and
Council against the taxpayers will
not be brought to a head after two
years Of litigation. 1t is understood
a number of larger tax accounts will
be the basis of action in the Circuit
Court soon.
The increased assessment was
made last year, soon after the new
~ elected Mayor, Edward p. Wyatt,
and Councilman William II. Pierce,
David saltz and Severn r. Sterling
qualified for office. Severn II. Ster-
ling has since resigned and the va
caney has been filled by the naming
of DIT. c. II. Collins. The Mayor and
Council asserted at that time that
the outstanding indebtedness OF the
city was such that more revenue
from taxes was necessary. The Off
cials therefore doubled the valua-
ton Of assessable property increas-
ing 1t from a little less than $1,000
coo to 100000 and litigation re-
suited from the new assessment
which IS now being brought to a
finish by the instituting of the nu-
merous suits for tax debts,
