UNEQUAL TAX BURDENS

MlESI VIRGINIA law requires that property B.
w assessed at the true and actual value and
there does not seem to be anything that can be said n
extenuaon of an assessment which is suspected Of be;n,
but one third Of true values.
The only reason the law requires that the asses.
men be at the tue value is to reduce to minimum n.
equalihes and fraud in the tax burden and the rtbe,
assessment is from the standard SET by law lie more
certain it is that the poor man and the small property
owner are carrying more than their share of he load
As a matter Of fact a comparison Of assessed with
true values in this city made at the request Of The COM
mittee which was engaged upon working out plan
for financing the completion Of the new bridge sclos.
ed that the tax assessment in this town is public
scandal. Yet the public has never made any marked
protest against this condition.
There are variety Of reasons for this, but if the
taxpayers Of the city are wise they will take early
steps to see TO it that The readjustent Of valuations
which, it was minated at city hall yesterday Is to
take place next year is most thoroushsons ;ob One
OF the things that ought be done about il is to arrange
to have the whole assessment published 50 that he
public may make comparisons Of its own. That
would cost something but If it were known in advance
Of the assessment that was to be done it would more
than pay oritself.
