Equalizing Objective
The director said the job was
primarily designed to "equalize'

raise land values to increase

Mr.. Lahde was appointed to
his post last fall after Congress
complained that real estate In
some areas Of the city had not
been reassessed for 20 or SC
years. Charging that this showed
fiscal responsibility" Congress
whacked 81 million of the Fed

the present fiscal year.
The director said last night
that IS per cent Of the 1901 900
property owners in the city had
no record Of reassessment on
