MANY "TEN PERCENTERS"
Those Who Did Not Provide Asses sors With Lists of Taxable Proper ties Now Have No Redress.

The number of those who. having failed to furnish the board of asses sors with lists of their properties last October, have made themselves liable to 10 per cent additional val uation and in addition have no redress to the board of relief, is unusually large this year. the assessors report. The assessment laws provide that members of any board of relief who grant a petition for reduction in the cases of "10 percenters," shah be liable to a fine of $50.
 While there were considerably fewer callers at the assessors office today. the clerks were kept fairly busy convincing property owners of the equity of the new assessments. One of the principal arguments ad- vanced today was that banks, rather than property holders. should be re- quired to pay to the amount of mort gages held on properties.
