Farm Bureau Is
) Making Study OF
The Tax Situation
Equality Of Assessments And
Decrease In County Costs
Sought By Organization

The Montgomery County Farm
Bureau is sponsoring a study of
tax problems in Montgomery County,
as part of similar methods to be
conducted in several other counties
of this state. The following phases
of the tax situation will be included
in this investigation.
1. inequalities of assessments
among farm properties, and be-
tween farm and urban properties.
The basis for determining inequalities
will be soil types and productivity of
farm lands, records Of property
transfers, (their assessed and sale
values) during the past several years
and records of building permits for
the past several years.
2. Possibilities of decreasing GER
tain county governmental costs by
reorganization, efficiency and econ
omy.
8. The possible need and effect of
a reassessment carried out according
to law, and the relationship of such
to the future county tax rate and
bonded Indebtedness.
4. A comparison of certain county
expenditures, including capital out
lay, in ruarl districts, with the tax
assessment and liability against farm
property.
The Department of Agricultural
Economics at the University of
Maryland has been requested TO
make this study. Much of the infor-
nation has already been assembled,
and a report is expected by the end
of the year.
