Explanation to the Tax Payers Of
Garrett County by the Clerk to the
Commissioners, Mr. ". @. Meyers
A number Of the tax payers have
recently called at the offices Of the
County Treasurer and County Com
missioners for the purpose Of ascer-
tanning why the assessment given on
their tax bills is larger than on the
statement sent Oh. during the re-as-
sessment last fall al winter. As
others may have the san. inquiry as
those who have called, I have thought
it well to give an explanation through
the columns OF The Republican.
If those who think that an increase
was made in their assessments after
the sending out Of their notices Will
look at their notices, if they st.I have
the same, they Will note that these
covered the proposed assessments on
land and buildings only ana did not
include the personal property. When
later the personal property state
ments were added to the assessments
on land and buildings the results were
as set forth in the tax bills.
In no instance, 50 far as We are
aware, was any increase made IN the
land and building asscsscent alter the
notices were sent out. There We're
some reductions, but no increases.
| trust that this explanation will set
the matter straight.
