IN the future a. community that
wants a new street or some other
improvement may have to do more
than present the bill to the tax.

adding that scientific methods of
determining the exact pro rata
benefit in dollars and cents of pub

ers, before the improvements are
made are replacing the old system
of opening streets and sending out
the bills later.
The greatest changes, continues
the association, is in the new prac.
tlce of ascertainlng benefit zones"
within an area and taxing these
zones on the basis OF the benefit
received.
Differs from Old Plan
This differs from the old plan
of spreading assessments over an
area in proportion to it's size, re-
gardless of particular benefit. For
the new systems take into con.
sideration all the fine shadines of
grade and benefit, from the site Of
an improvement to the land next
door, and on to the farthest reaches
of the city, and even out into the
country where some slight throb
of the pulse OF a remote com.
munity may show that some in.
fluence of the improvement has
been felt there.
The association says:
Not Ordinary Taxes
Assessments for local improve.
ments are not taxes in the ordi.
nary sense of the word. An as.
sessment for the cost Of laying a
sidewalk, for example, is neither
general nor a special tax.
THE idea that underlies special
assessments for local improvements
is that the property upon which
the improvements are constructed
will be specially benefited over and
beyond the benefits to the public
at large. Assessments are made on
the basis that property enhanced
by neighborhood improvement
(which may include new streets,
public buildings, subways. etc.)
should bear the cost of the i'm.

IN the nature Of taxes imposed by
virtue Of the taxing power. The
right 20 make assessments hes in
the same sovereign power Of the
State that IS exercised in the levy
of taxes.
Special Assessments
Special assessments may become
due at any time during the year
and are first payable to the city or
village collector. After a certain
date each year, special assessments
must be paid to the county collector.
And. as with taxes, an opportunity
is given all property owners to be
heard If they do not think the sums
imposed on them are fair.

It willfnot be possible to award any contracts for carrying air mail be- tween, Seattle and Alaska until Cone gress can be prevailed upon to enact special legislation, according to w. C.. Vandevoort, superintendent of the United States railway mai service.
