nounced a special committee Of

Working with him will be Som
erville Nicholson of Allegany
County and Stephen NJ. Kahoe
of Hartford County.
This is the same team that
made a similar survey in 1853
which resulted in criticism Of i've
counties for pegging assessments
so low they were Completely out

Although the tax laws call for
assessment OF real estate at its
full cash value, the survey COM

property was assessed at no more
than Is per cent of the value in

time.
The levels for Charles, Howard,

were not much higher. In the
majority of the counties, the
level was found to be about As
per cent of actual cash value.
In Baltimore it was estimated at
about go per cent.
The special committee pointed
out the low-assessment counties

cause these pepole also fought
in war for country and family"
He offered this prayer:
20 mighty God Of the living
and dead, we bring before Thee
in grateful remembrance lives
of those who far love Of country
and family have died on the
fields of battle. Forgive us, we
pray Thee. wherein We have by
our negligence. our indifference
or by our hostility and lack of
understanding contributed to
war and needless sacrifice of
human life.
Grant, we pray Thee, that
under the peerless leadership of
the President of the United
States world disarmament may
take place within our lifetimes;
that war may be forever out
lawed by mutual consent of ma
lions: that differences may be
peacefully negotiated around the
conference table; that atoms
may be used for the healing of
the nations; and that freedom
and justice and equality may
come to all mankind.
20 God, we, the people of
Hiroshima. have had a bitter
taste of the horrors OF atomic
war, and we humbly accept it
as judgment of God upon our
mistakes. But. o God. be merci-
full, that never again should any
city or nation have to suffer a
similar fate, for we ask 1t in the
name Of all those who have died
in war, and of Our Saviour who
died for us, Thy Son, Our Re-
deemer, Jesus Christ. Amen"
