Center.
The chambers Committee on Leg
lslation and Taxation, headed by

mously recommended that assess
ments should be based on 40 per
cent OF the fair market value of
real estate, and that this policy
should apply uniformly to all real
estate in the county, whether. busi-
ness or otherwise"
Directors of the organization
however, at subsequent meeting,
felt the matter to be Of such i'm
portance to businessmen and the
public generally that the full men,
bership meeting was deemed es-
sential to consider the question.
Arlington's postwar program for
public improvements, it was said,
undoubtedly requires a thorough
consideration Of the financial struc-
ture of the community"
The proposal for a higher as
sessed real estate valuation has been
under consideration for some time.

be made by county authorities, it
would become effective in the sched-
uled reassessment to be made next
