Shows Victims How They Can Cut
High Rates


County Treasurer Patrick J. Carr
desires that it be distinctly understood
that he "has nothing to do with the
increase in taxes" For the City OF
Chicago he is the tax. collector and
the first tax bills showing an average
increase of ~ per cent will be mailed
out Monday to residents of the towns
of Jefferson and West Chicago.
Because of the enormous boost, Mr..
Carr has printed a folder which he
proposes to mail with each tax bill.
This says official information about
taxes" and adds that ct will save you
worry, time and money"
Circular Gives Some Facts
On the first page the circular states
that st is the desire of the County
Treasurer to acquaint you with i'm
portant facts concerning the assess
ing and collection of taxes" 1t
goes on:
This information, if followed, will:
Tell you how to obtain a reduc-
ton if your taxes are excessive.
avoid penalties on real estate
taxes and special assessments.
Most important of all, it may pre-
vent your property from going to
sale and thereby falling into the
hands of the tax shark
Give you the opportunity to pay
your taxes at a sub-station near your
home"
Looking to the Future
The folder explains the method by
which excessive taxes may be re-
duced. 1t suggests that the property
owner go to the Board of Assessors
IN April and after July to the Board
of Review.
AS has been her etofore pointed out
recently, the folder asserts that there
is no legal way of any reduction in

Lieut.. William F. Childs, the only

States who ever rose to that rank,

He joined the police department
Dec. "a, 1896. Two of his companions

I the taxes which are payable now.
Neither the Board of Assessors nor
the Board of Review has any juris-
diction in that tax now. The period
has passed. The Treasurer puts this
pungent statement in black-face type:
THE taxpayers of Cook County
will save time and add greatly to the
efficiency of this Office by remember
ing that the County Treasurer has
nothing to do with the increase in
taxes. His sworn duty is to collect
all taxes and he has absolutely no
authority to change an assessment
or cancel or reduce any tax"
Cars Plans Commended
Circulars of this general character
should have been issued by County
Treasures years ago, it was pointed
out yesterday.
Many poor people are not acquaint-
ed with the system by which tax re-
auctions are obtained. They pay as
they are assessed, while others who
know the system obtain tax reduc-
tons. The result is the inequity in
taxation about which the public COM
plains bitterly.
Under the heading relating to tax
sharks, the pamphlet explains the sys-
TEN by which real estate is sold for
overdue taxes to tax buyers" the
interest they may charge, the added
fees and penalties which may be col
lected and the system by which prop
erty may be redeemed.
Regarding the convenience of pay
ing taxes at the sub ations, the
treasurer has established eighty-six
places where payments may be made
I'VE are asking you to take advan-
tage of the opportunity thus offered"
Mr.. Carr continues, so that you may
avoid the congestion and loss of time
caused by the thousands of people
who daily throng into the county
Office between April / and
May /. These sub-stations are bond
ed. All tax receipts issued by them
are absolutely guaranteed"
