TAX SUPERVISORS
RECOMMEND 5.YEAR
TAKING SYSTEM
City Board Of Tax Supervisors Con-
denim Tax Law and Recommend
city Assessment on Five.
Year Basis.

The City Board Of Tax Supervisors
presented their report to City Council
at Its meeting Monday evening. Their
report which follows has created much
interest:
To the Hon. Mayor and Board of
Council,
Gentlemen:
Your Board of Equalization elected
by your honorable body, have perform
ed their duty and report as follows:
Realizing that we were a board of
equalization, elected for the purpose of
equalizing tax on property, and not a
board to punish the well-to-do and
persecute the poor, have performed
that duty to the best of our ability un-
der the circumstances. The circum-
cumstances under which your city tax
Is assessed are very unequal. We have
almost reached the point advocated by
Henry George thirty years ago, viz,
that real estate should pay the tan.
Our present system is very unjust. A
person with a small home and few
chickens, sewing machine perhaps.
or a musical instrument and change
of clothing is taxed to the limit, while
.,otho, ,,;tl a loruo p,opufo nturinp o.
plant some buildings in which is in
stalled fifty to one hundred thousand
dollars worth of machinery, is only
taxed on the buildings. 1t is impossi-
BILE to get at money stocks or bonds,
so you see It has reached the stage
where only property in sight bears the
burden.
The time allowed for taking the as
sessment is much to short. and the
salary of your tax commissioner or
assessor insignificant. The pay OF
S25O.OO for performing the work will
scarcely allow for the wear and tear
of shoes or clothing, exclusive of the
strain on his temper and conscience.
We venture to suggest that your tax
commission should be Board OF
three, whose duty would be to assess
all property for a period of five years,
with power to raise or lower assess
ments any year as the circumstances
warranted, the board to sit once
year with ample time to correct and
verify the taxes after personal inspec-
tion.
Realizing that the times are very
unsettled, affairs righting themselves
after the war, when prices for COM
modities vary, we have endeavored to
equalize taxes so that none are hurt
and many favored.
We have tried to keep the assess
ment in amount so that you will be
enabled to make the rate no higher
than last year, and perhaps a lower
rate.
We thank you for the compliment
Of electing us to the position, and be-
lieving that such commission should
be those representative of citizens who
own property, although the pay Is not
attractive, or enough to cause us to
open a bank account, and with good
wishes for the health and prosperity
of our city and its people, we are. very
truly,
