Assessor Doubts
Officials Power
To Suspend Him

Henry H. Carter. Montgom-
cry County's suspended tax as
SCISSOR, says he isn't sure that
the county supervisor Of assess
mentS had the authority to
suspend him.
Mr.. Carter. an assessor for
two years. was suspended last
Thursday after charging in a
letter to the county manager
that "faYoritism" was being
shown in the levying of assess
ments in Montgomery County.
Mr.. Carter reiterated his
charges yesterday. Question
ing his suspension. he said the
situation is unclear because the
State Tax Commission pays 60
per cent of assessors salaries
and the county the remaining
40 per cent.
County Supervisor Wilton T.
Allen. who suspended Mr.. Car
.er,' said the mans charges
were investigated and found
without basis. He said a hear
ing would be held August 81
