WHY MOI AN Assessor?
Isl. Petersburg Timesl


st. Petersburg has an excellent city government and,
operating under fairly satisfactory charter, has been
able to efficiently handle its public affairs
But St. Petersburg is lax in of the basic things OF

of assessing the taxable property within it's borders
And by this the Times does not mean censure
upon the faithful and Woodworking tax commission,
members Of which appointed each year to do this
work. and paid but little more than day labcrer for
their efforts
1t is the system that is wrong Fer village, per-
haps the method might be all well and proper but ST
Petersburg has grown rapidly to the estate OF city and
needs city methods
Three men are named each year They expected
to 20 over the entire city three months and
make fair and impartial of valuations OF
property. real and personal for taxation purposes
No three men in the city, matter who they may
be- do the job thoroughly and efficiently in such
short time. They must hurry to get the work done in
time for the city commission begin its bulge. max
ing Necessarily there are many sections OF the city
and anapy individual pieces Of property which are i'm
properly assessed This does not happen because the
tax commission is not conscientious in its work, but
for tine simple that there is not time fer the
detailed examination of every secton or every lnu-
vdual piece of property.
St Petersburg ought to have tax assessor, busy
at the job the whole year through revising and remak
ing the rolls day by day lie has opportunity 10

the list from the data this assessor mas amassed and
the final revision could be made before the list was

Taxation IS the basis Of government Without money
